By (HABLES 1. MOORE United Press International SONOMA, Calif. (UPI) — Adm. Charles M. Cooke Jr., USN (ret.) former commander of the U.S. 7th fleet and a military-political strategist with a remarkable record of accurate prophecy, said today that if the Communists are not stopped in Laos and South Viet Nam they will continue toward conquest of all Southeast Asia. And that conquest, he said, is Just part of their overall plan to communize the whole world. Cooke said he approved pi President Kennedy’s action in sending U.S. Marines into Tahiland but that the move came late and still was not in sufficient force.

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUB, INDIANA

In an interview w ith Frank H. Bartholomew, former president and present chairman at the board of United Press International. ~ He said he considered it “disastrous” an January, 1950, when U.S. government policy put Korea outside U.S. defense lines. The North Koreans; with Russian and later Chinese Communist backing, attacked in June. Warns Os Threat When the Korean cease-tire talks began, Cooke warned that if the Chinese Communists were let off without a decisive defeat they would move into North Viet Nam. In 1955 North Viet Nam surrendered. Cooke said he did not believe the Communists intend to attack Thailand immediately, but that' with Laos practically lost the Reds have a pathway to new attakcs in South Viet Nam and for threats to Thailand. “Each time we let them get away with something,” he said, “we we ak e n ourselves. O ther countries figure the United States is never going to do anything. As we continue to retreat, we are weakened in the minds of our friends.” Cooke said he does not believe there will be all-out war in the Far East. And he does not believe use of nuclear weapons will be necessary or desirable. And as to whether the jungles of Southeast Asia are a good place to fight, he said: “North Korea was a helluva place to fight, too.” Tornadoes Hit Al Two Stales Tuesday By United Press International Folks in the Midwest hoped for a break in tornado and hailstone weather today. No relief from a record heat wave was in sight for the eastern half of the nation. Tornadoes and high winds that struck towns in Nebraska and South Dakota during the night injured at least five persons, and tore down buildings and trees in the Roswell, S. D., area. A twister leveled an airport structure at Gregory, S. D., the Weather Bureau said, and damaged a school and water tower at Burke. Two tornadoes smashed farm buildings and ripped down power and telephone lines around Roscoe, Neb. Hailstones as big as eggs and heavy- rains accompanied the twisters and high winds for the third day in a row in western

Indiana Seeks More Funds In Flood Control WASHINGTON (UPD-Indiana Gov. Matthew Welsh appeared before a Senate Appropriations subcommittee today in support of increased funds for Hoosier flood control projects. The group made -a similar plea Tuesday to a House subcommittee studying appropriations for the same projects. In many cases, the Hoosiers asked for funds in excess of those recommended by the administration of President Kennedy. The requests included $1 million for the Huntington Reservoir on the Wabash River. George D. Gettinger, executive vice president of the Wabash Valley Association, presented many of the requests. The funds requested which were not included in the budget were $35,000 for the advance engineering and design for the England Pond Levee in Illinois and $30,000 for local protection at Mount Carmel, 111. The association, which represents both Indiana and Illinois | interests along the Wabash, also asked for increases over the budget recommendations for six projects. They included $48,000 instead of $29,000 for advance engineering on the Tri-Pond Levee; $500,000 instead of $250,000 for Levee No. 5 on the Wabash; $2,500,000 instead of $1,690,000 for construction of the Mississinewa Reservoir; $2 million instead of $l.B million for construction of the Salamonie Reservoir; $275,000 instead of SIOO,OOO for a survey of the Wabash River and tributaries; and $175,000 instead of $50,000 for a survey of the White River basin. On all other projects, the association endorsed the amounts requested by the administration. Welsh asked for less than the association for the Wabash River and White River surveys. He asked for $200,000 for the Wabash and SIIO,OOO for the White, in line with Army Engineer capability for fiscal 1963. __________ Nebraska and southern South Dakota.

Three Escipe From Jail Al Chicago CHICAGO (UPI) - Three jail prisoners, including hired gunman William Triplett, admitted partner in the ambush slaying of. a union leader, overpowered three guards today and escaped. The three men were armed with five 38-caliber revolvers and were considered highly dangerous. Authorities believed the gunmen might be headed toward Detroit, where Triplett has friends. The FBI quickly moved into the case on the request of State’s Atty. Daniel P. Ward, on the theory the escaped prisoners had crossed state lines. They were being held in a section of the Cook County administration building reserve d for state’s attorney’s witnesses when the break occurred at 2:05 a.m. Police sa id one of the three asked for a glass of water and, when a guard brought it, they attacked, stripped the guard of keys to a wall vault containing guns, and rode down an elevator to escape armed with five loaded .38caliber revolvers. The three prisoners fled in a new car owned by one of the guards. Authorities throughout Illinois, Wisconsin. Indiana and Michigan were alerted after the escape, and fleets of squad cars prowled the city, watching main arteries out of the city for the three. Hours after the escape, there was no indication by police of any trace of the prisoners or the car they stole. In addition to Triplett the other prisoners were identified as Michael A. Huntington, 19, Chicago, held in connection with the recent bombing of a North Side synagogue, and Paul Muhlig, 19, Chicago, held for violation of the Mann Act. Triplett had been questioned by the FBI in Detroit earlier this year, and admitted a part in the ambush of John A. Kilpatrick, international president of the United Industrial Workers of America. But Triplett, of Detroit, accused his uncle, Dana Nash, 41, as the triggerman on the job. Kilpatrick, a bitter union foe of convicted labor racketeer Angelo Inciso, was shot in the back of the head and left dead in a car wired with dynamite last Oct. 20. Triplett said he and Nash were hired by an aide of Inciso to beat up Kilpatrick, but that Nash fired the fatal shots without warning. New Wave Os Terror Spread Over Algeria ALGIERS (UPI) - The outlawed secret army organization (OAS) today fired at least 15 mortar shells into the heavily populated Moslem casbah quarter and spread a new wave of terror across Algeria. | First reports from the casbah said there were "several victims” but no exact casualty figures were immediately available there. At least 26 persons were killed and 15 wounded by terrorists in other attacks in Algiers and the western port city of Oran, as the OAS moved through the second day of a campaign of retaliation for Monday’s_attacks on Europeans. The mortar attack on the casbah occurred at 1 :30 p.m. after a and Oran which left 23 persons in-; eluding four womn dead. The new slayings raised the casualty toll from terrorist violence since Jan. ,1 to 4,682 dead and 8,654 wounded. Despite the presence of 20,000 police an d French troops, OAS European extremists Tuesday killed 52 Moslems.in 76 separate terrorist attacks in Algiers. The OAS attacks Tuesday apparently were in reprisal for a, sudden series of Moslem raids which killed 17 Europeans the day before. The Monday raids were the first mass terrorism by Moslems since the cease-fie on March 17, although European ter- j roists have been active for weeks. Authorities feared that, with tension mounting and nerves becoming more frayed, a chain re-1 action of reprisals might start that could sabotage the cease-fire before full independence is achieved for Algeria. The OAS is opposed to Algerian independence under Moslem rule. It has been carrying out a campaign of terrorism in hopes of provoking the Moslems into violent retailiation, and forcing French troops to fire on the Moslems. Such action, OAS leaders figure, would result in a collapse of the peace accords. Connersville Boy .

Damaging Blow Is Dealt Medicare Plan

WASHINGTON (UPI)—A damaging, and possibly fatal, blow was delivered today to prospects for congressional passage this year of President Kennedy’s medical care program for the elderly. One of the Democrats who had been tentatively counted upon to help pry some compromise version out of the House Ways & Means Committee disclosed that he would vote against the measure. “I don’t intend to vote for it this year,’’ Rep. Clark W. Thompson, D-Tex., told United Press International. Thompson’s opposition raised grave doubt administration forces would be able to break the committee bottleneck that has blocked congressional action for five years on bills to add hospitalization insurance to cash benefits of the Social Security program. The showdown vote is expected next month. Thirty Rallies Planned Thompson spoke out just five days in advance of simultaneous rallies that will be staged by medical care supporters in 30 big cities in an effort to whip up "grass roots” pressure on Congess. President Kennedy will lend his

Confirmation Rites On Sunday Morning The Rev. Louis C. Minsterman will conduct the rite of confirmation Sunday morning at St. Luke church, Honduras, at 9 o’clock, and at St. John church, Vera Cruz, at 10:30. "Confirmation means to confinn or strengthen (1) the sacred vows the parents made at consecration of their children (2) the claim of; God upon their lives, (3) membership in the church.” Confirmation comes after nine months of weekly instruction for boys and girls thirteen years of age, in doctrine, history, Bible knowledge, memory work. Then each makes his decision for Christ at the altar. A review is given on a week night before the church board and the parents. Then on Sunday they are publicly confirmed by the laying on of hands by the minister, and received into full membership. Class members of St. Luke are: Blair Alan Brown, Carol Sue Conneliey, Karert Elaine Engle, Marsha Kay Engle, Rebecca Ruth Engle, Judy Marie Hoffman, Lynn William Ratcliff, Ronald Arnold Smith. Class members of St. John church are: David Alan Dental, Charles Noah Joray, Leland Kent McAlhaney, Nancy Jo Reusser, Charles David Schaffter, Sharon Elizabeth Smith, James Michael Wenger.

prestige to the rallies next Sunday afternoon with • nationally televised address from New York City’s Madison Square Garden. Thompson said he was opposed to action this year on Kennedy’s proposal because be wanted to see how the present Kerr-Mills program of federal aid for the medically needy works out in his home state. He said the Texas Legislature only this year brought the state into this program. Mills Refuses Backing The Texan was the second of the committee’s 15 Democrats to voice public opposition to providing medical care for the elderly under the Social Security program. Com- ■ mittee Chairman Wilbur D. Mills, D-Ark„ said earlier this year that he did not see how he could support the legislation. To muster a majority of 13 votes in the 25-man committee for some compromise version of Kennedy’s bill, the White House must either: Win support of every one of the remaining 13 committee Democrats, or; pick up a vote from the Republican members to match every additional Democratic defection. . / . There is considerable doubt this can be accomplished.
