German Leaders To Washington

BONN (UPD—Chancellor Konrad Adenauer flew to Washington today for post-Cuba talks with President Kennedy on Western plans to counter any new Communist threat to Berlin. As he left,'the opposition Social Democrats heightened the internal German political crisis by calling for the dismissal of Defense Minister Franz-Josef Straus because of the arrest of the editor and four employes of the news magazine Der Spiegel. A formal dismissal motion will be placed before Parliament at its next full session Dec. 5. Adenauer was accompanied by Foreign Minister Gerhard Schroeder. In a last-minu£e decision, Adenauer left minister -without -portfolio Heinrich Krone at home to take care of any developments in the Spiegel affair which had threatened to topple his coalition government. The chancellor’s chartered jetliner was scheduled to land at Andrews Air Force Base, Md., at 6:20 p.m. Adenauer made no comment on his departure. Before leaving, he ordered the defense, foreign, interior and justice ministers to draw up a joint report on the part their offices played in the Spiegel affair. He called for the report to make it clear that the government did not initiate the police action, but only gave assistance to West Germany’s attorney general. Adenauer flew to Washington with new confidence, inspired by President Kennedy's firm stand on Cuba, that the United States will be equally as determined to protect the freedom of Berlin. A major item in the wide range of topics he is to discuss with Kennedy is Western contingency planning in the event of any possible Soviet move against"" Berlin. Adenauer is understood also to be taking with him a pledge that Germany will come to the immediate military assistance of the three Western Allies in the event they come under Communist attack in Berlin. This was disclosed in Bonn by Sen. Jacob L. Javits, R-N.Y., who met with Adenauer Monday. - Add 22 Homes To City Mail Route A total of 22 homes on Bollman and Gage streets near the Homestead area in south Decatur will be taken from rural route six Saturday, November 24, and placed on the city mail carrier route of Jay Martin, postmaster John Boch announced this morning. The change was made as the result of a survey made recently by Clarence (John} Smith, superintendent of mails, which indicated the need for such a change. The change means a decrease of .4 mile in the length of the rural mail route of Gerald R. Durkin, reducing it from 64.8 miles to 64.4 miles. Rural mail carriers are paid on the basis of the length of their routes, and since this decreases the length of the route to less than 64.5 miles, it will slightly alter Durkin’s salary. The 22 stops are added to the city mail carrier route of Ja y Martin, who will now have 519 stops on his route, making it second in size to that of Tom Noll, who has 570 stops. City carrier wages are not based on the number of stops, however, so Martin will not receive a wage increase, although his work will be increased

Conviction Os Ohio Teamster Leader Upheld WASHINGTON (UPD — The Supreme Court disposed of two contempt of Congress appeals today, upholding the conviction of an Ohio Teamster leader in one and affirming a not guilty finding for a New York port official in the other. Immediately after making a handful of rulings, the court began hearing renewed arguments in the prolonged dispute between Arizona and California over Colorado River water. The Ohio Teamster leader who appealed his contempt conviction to the high court was William Presser of Ohio. By a 4-4 vote, the court today affirmed a lower court finding that Presser had obstructed a 1958 Senate committee inquiry by destroying or concealing records showing gifts of SIOO champagne buckets to eight individuals. A tie vote upholds lower court decisions but does not set legal precedents in such cases. New Justice Arthur J. Goldberg did not participate in today’s ruling. The other contempt case involved Austin J. Tobin, executive director of the New York Port Authority, who refused to turn over certain records to a House investigating subcommittee. Tobin was found guilty by a federal judge here but the Appeals Court held that the House group lacked authority to demand the records of Tobin. The Su-preme-Court today let stand the Appeals Court ruling, thereby rejecting a Justice Department request that the conviction be reinstated. In another action, the court refused to reconsider its decision of June 25 which struck down a California law which made it a crime to be a narcotics addict.

India Is More Firmly Behind Premier Nehru NEW DELHI (UPD — Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru will celebrate his 73rd birthday Wednesday with the nation more firmly behind him than at any time since he became head of the government in 1947. • Communist China’s humanwave border attacks and staggering! early successes which left 2,500 soldiers dead or missing jolted India’s masses like none of the appeals which Nehru has made for Indian unity. Today cries for linguistic states and independent regions have been replaced by shouts of “Blood for blood.. .Hurl back the aggressors.” Nehru’s opponents regard it as ironic that one of his biggest miscalculations has been more responsible than his successes for India’s emergence as a unified nation 440 million strong. By misjudging Communist China’s intentions and by allowing the buffer state of Tibet to slip uncontested under Red Chinese military control, Nehru permitted Peiping’s troops to gain strategic high ground along the 2,500-mile Himalayan frontier. Unless the border situation results in a military disaster for India, it actually will make Nehru’s task easier in many ways. Fortified by nationalism, patriotism and some emergency regulations, the government now can order tough economic measures, reject pork barrel projects and push production on an around-the-clock basis.

Budget Is Running $7 Billion In Red — WASHINGTON (UPD — A new review of the federal budget shows it is running more than $7 billion in the red, informed 1 sources Said today. This would be the second largest peacetime budget deficit on record. The largest, $12.4 billion, was posted in fiscal 1959 under former President Eisenhower. A deficit of $6.3 billion was hung up Jnfiscal-1962 under President Kennedy. The review was due to be published today by the Budget Bureau. It will cover federal spending and tax collections in fiscal 1963, which began last July 1 and ends next June 30. Advance indications were that the review would show spending at or above $94 billion — also a peacetime record , — and revenue in the neighborhood of SB7 billion, or a little more. The totals in the mid-year review contrast markedly with estimates presented by Kennedy in his Budget Message last January. At that time he anticipated revenues of $93 billion, spending of just over $92.5 billion and a surplus of $463 million.

U.S. Pressing Sharply Its Demands For Removal Os Russ Bombers From Cuba

Mikoyan Supports Cuban Base Demand

MIAMI (UPD— Soviet shooter Anastas Mikoyan said Monday night Premier Fidel Cas- • tro’s call for American evacuation of the Guantanamo Naval Base is part of “a program of peace for the Caribbean” which the Soviet Union supports, Havana Radio reported today. In an address at the govern-ment-directed University of Havana, the Soviet first deputy premier praised Castro’s so - called “five points,” which include American withdrawal from the huge naval base in southeastern Cuba. “The five points of Fidel are a banner,” he said. "They are a program of peace for the Caribbean and the Soviet Union is supporting that program. "Our peoples are authentic brothers with the same desires of victory in socialism. We are going to say to the imperialists ‘Hands off revolutionary Cuba’.” Mikoyan closed his speech saying, "Long live the Cuban revolution with Fidel Castro at its head. Long live Soviet-Cuban friendship. Long live Cuba.” For unexplained reasons, Havana Radio waited until this morning to report Mikoyan’s remarks. Mikoyan gave no clues as to whether he was continuing personal negotiations with Castro on the “differences” between Cuba and Russia stemming from the withdrawal of Soviet missiles. There was also no indication in his talk as to when he plans to leave Cuba. Cuban exile sources with Havana contacts predicted that Mikoyan will have a long stay in Cuba. They said Mikoyan appears to be "playing a waiting game” with Castro as well as with the United States. He may be under orders to stay in Cuba until the final U.S. position on the removal of Soviet missiles and Ilyushin jet bombers becomes known, the exiles said.

Nazi-Style Camps In East Germany

BERLIN (UPD — Nazi-style concentration camps have returned to East Germany, according to two men who served in one. The two men, who fled to West Berlin, said the Communist camps have the brutal beatings, 17-hour work days, forced labor, starvation diets and barbed wire that made Hitlerian justice a worldwide byword for cruelty. Conditions in the camps, which were established for anti-Commu-nists, were so harsh that they knew of at least three suicided, the men said. The men, Detlev Mueller, 23, and Guenter Breuer, 28, told their story Monday in a West Berlin refugee camp after a 26-day flight from the Mildenberg “work education camp” near Gransee, 30 miles north of Berlin. Orders To Shoot They said work education camps were concentration camps in everything but name, with bare barracks surrounded by barbed wire, 15-feet high walls and watch towers manned by Communist police with orders to shoot. The existence of the camps was no secret. The East German government announced their establishment soon after it built the anti-refugee wall on the EastWest Berlin border Aug. 13, 1961. But until Mueller and Breuer swam a border canal to West Berlin, details of life in the camps was unknown. , They escaped while on a work

Third Indianapolis Bank Robbed Today INDIANAPOLIS (UPD —A bandit held up a branch of the American Fletcher National Bank today, the third bank robbery in Indianapolis in about 25 hours. The loot in the third holdup totaled $1,560. The holdup occurred at 11:05 a.m. EST while five employes and one customer were in the branch office, managed by Stanley Buchanan. The latest robbery occurred at a branch at 1500 Roosevelt Ave. The robber got away with “quite a lot,” according to assistant mapager Lawrence Hoffman. Armed bandits held up two branches, one of them an AFNB office, Monday within four hours and escaped with more than SII,OOO. There was no apparent connection between the two robberies, which occurred at a branch of the American Fletcher National Bank | and a branch of the Merchants National Bank & Trust Company. In the first holdup, which took place Monday morning, a gunman used a child’s lunch box to carry away $2,124 from the American Fletcher National Bank. He handed a teller a note demandingthe money. “Please do not cry out,” the note said. “I have a weapon. I do not want to hurt you. Put large bills in pail Hurry up.” Mrs. Genevieve Peters, 45, the teller, complied and the man left the bank without seven other employes and eight customers realizing what had happened. In the second holdup, a man entered the bank while his accomplice waited in a car, authorities said. The man, armed with a revolver, walked to a teller and said, “This is a holdup. I mean business. Do what you are told and you won’t get hurt.” He escaped with $8,980.

party at a collective farm Oct. 18, and swam a canal Sunday after fleeing and hiding out for 24 days. They said the camp they escaped from held 230 men jailed after the wall went up because they were considered unreliable. They reported the existence of two other camps for men, one in Berndsdorf, north of Berlin, and the other near Leipzig. They heard of a fourth for women in the province of Mecklenburg. Guards Are Brutal Breuer said the brutality of Communist guards was reminiscent of the Nazis. “Inmates were brutally beaten by the guards with their clubs,” he said. “We were treated like hardened criminals. Three inmates committed suicide by hanging themselves because they could not bear any more.” “We had to get up at 2 a.m.” Mueller said. “After breakfast and roll call we had a 17-hour work day divided between a brick yard near the camp and collective farms. In the winter the work day was three' hours shorter.” “Food was so short that we got potatoes only on Sunday,” Breuer said. “For breakfast we got two slices of bread and a spoon of jam, lunch was noodles, and supper about two ounces of sausage, a smattering of fat and two slices of bread."

WASHINGTON (UPI) — The United States began pressing more sharply today its demands that the Russians remove their IL 28 bombers from Cuba to complete the Khrushchev - Kennedy withdrawal agreement. There was a report that President Kennedy would refuse to give assurances against invasion of the Caribbean island as long as the bombers remain in Cuba. Forty-two Soviet rockets capable of striking U.S. targets have been taken out of Cuba but the bombers, which the administration considers “offensive eapons,” still are available, to the Fidel Castro regime. The Other Developments The impasse over the bombers highlighted these other Cuban developments : —The International Committee for the Red Cross put off a final decision on whether to participate in the inspection of Communist shipping to Cuba. The decision was withheld pending further discussions with U.N. Acting Secretary General Thant. A Red Cross statement issued in Geneva said that any inspection operation would be strictly under U.N. control with the Red Cross organization assuming no responsibility. —Soviet negotiator Anastas Nikoyan, who has been conducting on-the-spot talks with Castro, was quoted by Havana Radio as saying the Cuban leader’s demand for U.S. evacuation of the GuantanstmO Naval Base was part of “a program of peace in the Caribbean.” —The Castro government claimed it had captured a Cuban described as the “principal agent” of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency. A communique said the agent was seeking to sabotage the Cuban copper and nickel mining industry. Kennedy met for nearly two hours Monday with Adlai Stevenson, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, and John J. McCloy, head of a three-man “coordinating committee’’ dealing with the Russians for removal of “offensive weapons” from the island. The Soviets have argued that the IL2Bs do not fall into the "offensive”—category, and add that the bombers are now part of the Cuban air force. But the United States has made lifting of the naval blockade <?f Cuba conditional on removal of the bombers. In Good Faith Officials said Kennedy has been told that the Russians seem to be acting in good faith in taking out the missiles, but administration concern was reported deepening over Premier Fidel Castro’s behavior. Most officials are inclined to believe in Moscow’s difficulty with Castro. Thrre is still no information on what progress has been made in the discussions between Castro and Soviet First Deputy Premier Anastas I. Mikoyan. Mikoyan has been in Cuba 11 days, and for the last several days there has been no mention of his presence in the Cuban press. Suspension Possible Due to the fact the Russians appear to have complied with removal of the missiles, officials believe there may be a temporary suspension of the naval blockade as soon as there is concrete evidence the last missiles and bombers have left for the Soviet Union. Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy affirmed the U.S. position Monday in a speech telephoned to a Veterans Day program at Albany, Ore. “Our, efforts to require the withdrawal of offensive weapons from. Cuba appear to be succeeding,” he said. “Obviously this' doesn’t mean that we can relax our vigilance. We intend to see that the agreement for removal of weapons is carried out.” Even then, he said, “Cuba will continue to be a problem.” INDIANA WEATHER Fair tonight. Wednesday mostly fair and mild.

Thant Meets Top Envoys

UNITED NATIONS (UPI) — Acting Secretary General Thant 1 saw top Soviet and Cuban envoys ' together for the first time today 1 amid reports they were backing c out of their agreement for Red 1 Cross inspection of inbound Cuban 1 cargoes. 1 The International Committee < for the Red Cross announced in s Geneva that further talks with Thant would be necessary before i •it decided to carry out the check f against incoming Soviet offensive t arms under U.N. supervision. < Paul Ruegger, former president 1 of the all-Swiss organization, re- < ported to the ICRC Monday on. a 1 week of talks here with Thant, Soviet, U.S. and Cuban represen- ’ tatives. When he left for Geneva 1 last weekend, the United Nations i announced that the Red Cross 1 operation would begin as soon as 1 agreement of all parties was ob- i tained. The United States, Russia and LI Cuba gave their assent many days . ago to the principle of inbound f inspection. _ U.S. sources were puzzled by the U.N. announcement on Ruegt ger’s departure. They said the i United States had given ita assent ] to all details of the operation as worked out here. This implied , that Russia and Cuba did not i fully agree. If the Red Cross check is not set up, it was presumed that the United States would indefinitely maintain the naval “quarantine” of Cuba to check on all incoming . ships. Indicating that a critical stage had been reached again, Thant ■ called in the Soviet and Cuban envoys at 10 a.m. Thant had an appointment with U.S. Ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson at 3 p.m. Thant and Cuban Ambassador Carlos Lechuga are seeing each other on almost a daily basis, although the frequency of Thant’s contacts with American and Soviet officials has dropped. Informed sources said Thant and Lechuga still are discussing the three points that took the ' U.N. chief on his fruitless mission to Havana a fortnight ago. ' They are: Inspection of the missile removal, assurance of re- ’ spect for Cuba’s sovereignty and reassurance of its neighbors > against Cuban subversion or agr gression. Virtually nothing has been dis- ‘ Cuba Building Up L ■ Guantanamo Defense l 1 U.S. NAVAL BASE, Guantanamo, Cuba (UPI) — There are definite signs of a Cuban de- ; fensive buildup outside the fence -of this United States stronghold. ■ Gen. W.R. Collins, Marine ground ' commandant, said Monday. j Collins said the Cuban sentry - force ringing the base has been . tripled since President Kennedy ■ announced the U.S. naval blockade of Cuba. There is also evi- ■ dence that Cubans have been working at night, reinforcing gun . emplacements facing the base. , There are no signs the Cubans are preparing an attack on the base, Collins said. ’ < American forces here, strengthened—by sea and air since the ; blockade began, -are considered • adequate not only to hold the 45- : square-rtile naval base but to ■ launch a counterattack into Cuba if Castro’s forces attempt an ofl fensive. The Marine Corps’ largest tank, the MlO3, is included in the armament now on this base, newsmen were told Monday. An undisclosed number of the big tanks were flown here from Camp Pendleton, Calif., during the recent crisis. Military '! authorities disclosed that two Marines were injured severely about a week ago in an accidental “ordnance” explosion. This was thought to refer to a U.S. land mine.

' SEVEN CENTS

closed here on the efforts of Soviet Deputy Premier Anastas I. Mikoyan to persuade Premier Fidel Castro to honor a Soviet pledge that there would be international inspection of the missile removal. Thant’s problems are being compounded by a new rise in tension in the Congo. U.N. planes from India, Sweden and Ethiopia have been alerted for the possibility of action against Katangese aircraft as a deadline nears for Katanga President Moise Tshombe to accept Thant’s reunification plan for the Congo. In his latest letter to Tshombe, Thant asked for a definitive reply by this Thursday. Results of talks in Elisabethville between Tshombe and Robert K.A. Gardiner, top U.N. official in the Congo, were not made known. A third major U.N. item is disarmament on which it now appears that negotiations will resume to the 17-nation committee at Geneva next week. Demands GOP Vice Chairman Resign Post ~ INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The ' resignation of Mrs. Esther Guthridge of Fowler as vice chairman of the Indiana Republican State Central Committee was demanded today by another woman GOP leader as male committee members held a stag meeting with outgoing chairman Thomas A. Gallmeyer. Gallmeyer and the 11 committeemmen met at lunch to discuss the procedure by which he is to step out, now that Sen. Homer E. Capehart has been defeated and Lt. Gov. Richard O. Ristine has become the titular head of the party by virtue of his office. Before lunch, Mrs. lone Harrington of Chesterton, national committeewoman from Indiana, called a news conference at which she recommended the resignation of Mrs. Guthridge on grounds she was too busy at other things to devote full time to her GOP responsibilities. Need Full-Timers One of the reasons for Gallmeyer’s planned resignation is that the party needs a fulltime chairman. Mrs. Harrington said it needs a fulltime vice chairman, too. She said Mrs. Guthridge was elected Benton County clerk last week and “she will be unable to devote full time to the office of state vice chairman.” The vice chairman serves also as president of the GOP Federation of Wornen's Clubs. ' ~~ _ Mrs. Herrington said she has no — intention of seeking the vice chairmanship either for herself or a favorite and expects to continue as national committeewoman at least until 1964. “There are a number of women leaders who could give impartial leadership to Indiana Republican women,” she said. Meanwhile,. Gallmeyer met with the 11 district chairmen, national committeeman Walter Beardsley of Elkhart and state committee treasurer Stanley Byram of Martinsville. Will Quit In Person Gallmeyer said he preferred to resign in person to the full committee and will set a date today for such a meeting, possibly next week. The women members of the committee—the 11 district vice chairmen, were not invited to the meeting today, which also dealt with Republican finances in addition to the change of chairmanship.
