Says Kennedy Right In Muzzling Walker CHICAGO (UPD-Former President Truman, displaying the same verve and shoot-from-the-hip frankness that characterized his years in office, said Sunday President Kennedy was right when he “muzzled” Gen. Edwin A. Walker. “He should have been muzzled,” the former Chief Executive said. “I’d have muzzled him if I were President." Walker was relieved of his comm an d recently following charges that he attempted to indoctrinate his troops with antiCommunist beliefs. He was transferred to a lesser job in Germany and resigned several days ago. •> Had Fired MacArthur Truman himself was an expert at “muzzling” military leaders. He fired former Gen. Douglas MacArthur when the well-known war hero disagreed publicly with the policies of the Truman administration.

between trains, was asked if he believed the United States should resume nuclear tests in the atmosphere. “Os course,” he replied. “I never was for stopping them in the first place.” On fallout shelters, Truman’s response was terse: “If you’re afraid of fallout, build your shelter,” he said. “If you’re not, you don’t need it.” 78-Years Old Pacing down the long nearempty platform in the Sunday morning chill, the former President, dressed in a brown overcoat and hat, indicated it wasn’t easy for him to answer questions while walking in cold weather. “I'm 78 years old now,” he said. Truman, en route to Kansas City, was in New York Saturday campaigning for Mayor Robert F. Wagner, in the mayor’s bid for re-election, and in New Jersey Friday to stump for Richard J. Hughes, the Democratic gubernatorial candidate. 34th Discoverer In Nominal Orbil VANDENBERG AFB, Calif. (UPD—The 34th Discoverer satellite hurled into space around the earth’s poles was in “near nominal orbit” today according to Air Force tracking devices. The 25-foot long satellite, the space-research workhorse for the United States, was launched Sunday in what the Air Force termed “a real clean shot.” Each rocket stage functioned as expected in clear, summer-like weather. The nose of the 1,700-pound satellite carried an instrument capsule which scientists hoped to retrieve over the Pacific Ocean within a maximum of four days. Nine Discoverer capsules have been recovered, including six that were snatched in flight by snaretrailing airplanes. Three others were fished from the sea. The Air - Force did not disclose the contents of the 300 pound, gold plated capsule launched Sunday. Trade in a good town — Decatur.

The druggist, who was not identified, became suspicious when “two strange fellows” came into his store and purchased cough syrup containing codeine, according to Police Lt. Milburn Green. When the men asked if they could buy more than the four ounces allowed by law, the druggist refused and they left the store. Green said the druggist then called other pharmacies in the area and discovered the men had made similar purchases in many of them. He called police. Authorities checked the hotel rooms given by the men as their addresses and discovered the marijuana. Elgart was allowed to finish his engagement before the arrests. Police said the marijuana haul was the largest ever in Lincoln. They said two bags of marijuana were found in two of the hotel rooms and additional amounts were found in four more rooms in the same hotel. A second hotel also yielded a supply of marijuana, police said. Trade in a good town — Decatur.

Report 60 Missing After Ship Sinks
TUNIS (UPD - The 7.129-ton, Scottish steamer ,Clan Keith, car-' crying a crew of 68, exploded Sunday night in heavy seas and' sank early today about 20 miles | off the Tunisian coast. The Tunisian shipping radio station said 60 persons were missing and eight had been rescued. A French freighter spotted two bodies floating in the water, the station said, and the British warship Blake picked up another body. Many of the steamer’s lifeboats have been found floating empty, the station said. The British Freighter Durham Trader was reported to have rescued six men and a Finnish ship, two others. (In London, the Clan Line company, owners of the ship, said at least one crewman swas dead, six have been rescued and 61 were missing. The vessel was reported under charter to the British India Company. (The ship carried 14 European officers, mostly British and Scottish, ands 4 Pakistani crewmen, the company said. (The dead man was a Pakistani who had been picked up and then died, the company said.) French naval headquarters at Bizerte said an explosion set the i ship on fire at 6:30 p.m. (12:30 p.m. EST) Sunday. The ship sank after midnight, a spokesman said. Bloomington Man Is Head Os Editors INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — Lew Winkler, managing editor of the Bloomington Herald - Telephone, was elected president of the United Press International Indiana Newspaper Editors Saturday, succeeding Jim Mitchell, executive editor of the Marion ChronicleTribune. Other officers elected at the fell meeting were Glenn D. Whitney, editor of the Logansport PharosTribune, first vice president; and John D. Scott, editor of the Shelbyville News, second vice president. Eighty persons representing 32 newspapers and UPI bureaus in New Yprk, Chicag and Indianapolis attended the meeting, wh featured an after-dinner address by Phil Newsom, UPI foreign news analyst, and a panel discussion of wire news problems. Participants in the panel were Mrs. Lew Winkler,.. news editor of the Bloomington Herald - Telephone; Whitney, who was moderator; Tomas E. Witerspoon, editor of te Portland Commercial-Review; Donald W. Benn, managing editor of te LaPorte Herald-Argus, and Miss Doroty Heesakker, UPI Midwest teletypesetter news editor from Chicago. Whitney was program chairman fohr the meeting and Witherspoon chairman of the nominating committee. Newsom said that America’s European allies are confused about U.S. policy in the Berlin crisis. He said he reached that conclusion after stfunding out government leaders and citizens during a five-week tour of Germany, France and Great Britain. Newsom quoted a French Foreign Ministry official as sayinlg his country was “not quite sure,” the United States had the moral courage to follow up its words
with action. In Berlin, he said, a foreman of a moving company told him, “We have fought the Russians before and we will fight them again, buth not if the Allies sell us out.” Newsom said he found West Germans apathetic * toward the Berlin crisis because they feel in the event of war they will be the first to be hit and because they feel that the question of war or peace is not up to them. Newsom also was told in France that the Berlin crisis “is a Hollywood stunt’’ and if it is not a stunt it is the fault of Franklin Roosevelt and Stalin. A brigadier in Britain told him: “After all, two million Russians died for us.” " , "The conclusion is that public opinion in Europe is far behind that of the United States. No pro-' visions for bomb shelters are being made, in sharp contrast with the feeling of the governments which are trying their best to battle lethargy,” Newsom said. WEST BERLIN (Continued from Page One went into the East zone to rescue two friends made it back safely but his companions were captured at gunpoint when they touched off booby traps in the barbed wire. At another section of the French border Communist police threw six stones and tear gas grenade at a patrolling western policeman. The westerner routed them with five tear gas grenades. Among the refugees who made it across Sunday night were five men and four children, including a 14-year-old boy carrying his 9month old sister. Their mother was caught. They were among a larger group of East Germans who had tried to make it across but gunfire from Communist border guards apparently cut off the rest of the refugees. “ - ~ , l The ones who made it said they did not know whether their friends had been captured or were hiding waiting for another chance to cross. Drives to Checkpoint In another escape, a 21-year-old West Berliner drove up to the Babelsberg Soviet checkpoint on West Berlin’s western .border with East Germany. In the ear with him was his 18-year-old East German girl friend. As the border guards lifted barriers preparatory to checking his credentials, the young man gunned the engine and raced through. Six Communist bullets struck his car but neither he nor the girl was hit. The escapes were reported as fresh examples of Communist harassment of Allied personnel became known. A U.S. Army spokesman said that since Aug. 22 U.S. military cars touring East Berlin under four-power agreement have been temporarily blocked or detained nine or ten times. In at ” least one case of East Berlin interference, the spokesman said, a sedan with U.S. Army officers in it was delayed nearly an hour. Sedans with uniformed U.S. officers prowl East Berlin most of the day and night exercising t western Allies right of circulation throughout the city. Soviet cars do the same in West Berlin.

Record Fallout Is Reported By Japan TOKYO (UPD—The Central Meteorological Agency cautioned Japanese today to cover open wells and filter rain and river water used for drinking as the result of a record level of radioactive fallout from Sovief nuclear tests. The agency said there was no immediate danger to health but that simple,, precautions should be taken In case the level of fallout continued high. The agency said that rain that fell Saturday in Fukuoka contained 600,000 counts or 1,820 micromicrocuries per cubic meter. According to U. S. Public Health standards, Washington reported, this would be high, calling for further study, but not “unbearable” by any means. This compared with a previous high of 1,047, micromicrocuries measured on April 6, 1957—a time when the United States still was setting off nuclear test explosions ■ in the South Pacific. Saturday’s measurement, coming five days after the Soviet Union exploded a super-nuclear bomb of 50 megatons or more, was by far the highest recorded in Japan since the Soviet Union resumed nuclear testing Sept. 1. —The previous high was on Oct. 26 when 240 micromicrocuries was measured in Yonako City. - If you have something to sell or trade — use the Democrat Want ads — they get BIG resuits.

Computer Center Dedicated Today -
MARTINSBURG, W.Va. (UPD — Treasury Secretary Douglas Dillon today dedicated a modern, electronic computer center which by 1966 will give the once-over to the tax return of every American. Dillon hailed the center in prepared remarks as “a giant stride” toward collecting all taxes owled Uncle Sam. He said the center would make life “far more difficult for the foolish few who are tempted to cheat or to evade.” The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) estimated that some $25 billion of income is unreported every year. The taxes on this sum might come to $5 billion or more. The National Computer Center, as the one-story, flat-roof new $750,000 building here is called, is the core of a new automatic data processing system the reve- : nue service is gradually putting into use. Reasons For Process The service is adopting automatic data processing for two reasons: —To make itphysically possible to keep up with rapid growth in paper work Internal Revenue handles. The number of returns received by the service is expected to climb from this year's 95 million to 110 million in 1970 arid 135 million in 1980. —To crack down on tax cheaters, mainly those who underreport their income, claim refunds they are not entitled to and take excessive deductions. Tougher enforcement will be accomplished by electronic means and also through the freeing of agents ■ from routine manual paperwork, j “The new technique will, not; dehumanize our tax administra-, tion,” Dillon said. “It will not be man against machine—the individual taxpayer versus a giant, impersonal monster that thrives only on numbers.” More Personal Assistance Rather, he said, IRS employes will have more time to give per-+ sonal assistance to taxpayers who seek it. The new system also will J permit earlier mailing of refund checks and improve chances that! a check will get to a taxpayer 1 who has moved. The center is scheduled toj start checking business tax returns from, seven Southern states in January. A year later it will also review individual returns i from those states and business I returns from the Middle Atlantic 1 states. . ] BV 1966, Internal Revenue Com-j missioner Mortimer M. Caplin! predicted, returns of every tax-' payer in the nation will be checked here. The actual returns will not go to Martinsburg. Nine regional | service centers will code informa- i tion on the returns on punch, cards and then magnetic tapes. | The tapes wil be sent to the ' National Computer Center where I
