THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

Order Skipper . To Answer On i Sub Messages i PORTSMOUTH, N.H. (UPI) — - A Navy board of inquiry investi- ; gating the sinking of the nuclear t submarine Thresher with 129 men > aboard Tuesday ordered the skip- . per of an escort vessel to explain i why he did not report the sub’s > final messages. ! The board named Lt. Cpidr. ( Stanley Hecker, 36, Brooklyn, N.Y., commander of the escort [ ship Skylark, “a party to the in- [ quiry” into the tragedy. The Navy said the court will , not meet today as originally scheduled, presumably to give . Hecker time to confer with his [ counsel and to re-examine the Skylark’s log. It was expected to resume hearings Thursday. The court emphasized that Hecker’s action could not "conceivably have contributed in any . way to the loss of the USS Thresher and those on board.” Vice Adm. Bernard L. Austin, ' presidet of the court, said Heck- , er was not accused of derelection or neglect of duty. By making Hecker a party to the inquiry, Austin said, it will “enable him to present his side of the story.” In Washington, Adm. George W Anderson Jr.,- chief of naval operations, said he believed the Skylark officers did some “Monday morning quarterbacking” during their testimony before the inquiry board. “I am sure that they were en- [ deavoring to report everything that they considered important at I the time. But later, in retrospect, Monday morning quarterbecking ; you might say, they came to certain conclusions and very proper- ' ly presented these conclusions and their observations at the time of the court of inquiry,” he said. Before receiving these messages, the Navy had said there was no indication of trouble aboard Thresher. In previous testimony Hecker his navigator aboard the Skylark, Lt (jg) James D. Watson, said they received a message from ' the submerged Thresher that she was “experiencing minor difficulty. Have positive up angle. Attempting to blow.” This meant that she was trying to surface. They also said they heard sounds of blowing and a “muted dull thud” like a compartment , collapsing. U. S. May End Subsidy For Cuba Council - WASHINGTON (UPl)—Administration officials said today the United States might end its $2.4 million annual subsidy to the Cuban Revolutionary Council. If it does, the U.S. government then will face the task of finding some other way to coordinate its relations with the approximately 200,000 anti-Castro refugees in this country, as well as the direction of their activities. The decision depend in part, officials said, on whether the council accepts the offered resignation of President Jose Miro Cardona, who has broken sharply with President Kennedy on Cuba policy. However, even if the council lets Miro go, its future support from the Kennedy administration still will be somewhat doubtful. Officials here made it clear they felt that the members of the council had become rather deeply involved in Miro’s charges that Kennedy backed down on a promise to mount a new invasion of Fidel Castro’s Communist - dominated island. It isobvious, diplomatic sources said, that many Cuban refugees themselves believe the council is doomed. Several leaders already have come forward with ideas for new groups which they apparently hope will win U.S. approval and financial support The United States has denied reports that a State Department official threatened Miro with deportation if he publicized his differences with Kennedy. The State Department said there was no intention to force Miro to leave the country. Officials made it clear, however, that his criticism of U.S. policy had made it impossible to work with him in the future.

Egypt Syria, Iraq Approve New Federation CAIRO (UPI) — Egypt. Syria and Iraq today formally approved a powerful new Arab federation by signing agreements for its constitution and national charter. . A declaration announcing the signing said the merger of the three states was aimed at combatting "Zionism and imperialism.” The new federation, to be called the United Arab Republic, will be voted on by citizens of all three countries in a plebiscite scheduled within five months. It will unite 38 million Arabs into a single nation destined to hold the balance of power in the strategic Middle East Its proponents have charted a course of socialism at home and neutralism abroad. In Cairo's presidential palace Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser, Gen. Louay el Attassi, chairman of Syria's National Council of Revolution, and Iraqi Premier Ahmgd Hassan el Bakr signed the historic document outlining the "basic principles of the constitution and the national charter.” They set up a three-nation committee to fill out the new country’s constitution. The federation will have a national assembly composed of two houses. A chamber of deputies will be elected through proportional representation and a federal assembly will draw an equal number of members from all three states. The president of the federation, considered virtually certain to be Nasser, will be elected by the assembly as a whole. All officials will serve a fouryear term. The capital of the federation will be Cairo, its religion will be Islam and its official language will be Arabic. The new flag will be the same as Nasser’s present U.A.R. with one star added. Additional stars will represent each new member that jols the federation. Algeria, Yemen, Tunisia and Sudan are considered potential members, with the monarchies of Morocco, Libya, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait unlikely to join- ...
