Pres. Kennedy To Leave Tonight For Long Tour Os European Countries

Pope Paul In First Speech

VATICAN CIJY (UPI) — Pope Paul VI said today his pontificate will be dedicated to a continuation of the unifying ideals of the Ecumenical Council and peaceful preservation of world order. The 65-year-old pontiff made the inaugural speech of his reign in Latin before cardinals of the Roman Catholic Church fathered in the ornate Sistine L&Chapel where he was elected Friday as the 262nd successor to the throne of St. Peter. “The prominent part of our pontificate will be concerned with the continuation of the Ecumenical Council Vatican II,” he said. “This will be the principal work for which we intend to spend all our energies which the Lord has given us.” The council, called by the late Phpe John XXIII, was automatically suspended with his death on June 3. It was to have resumed Sept. 8, but Pope Paul did not set a date for the second session in his speech this morning. Social Justice Important The preservation of order and social justice in the expanding space age also is of paramount importance, the pontiff said. “The unequivocal order of love for the neighbor, testing bench of the love for God, requires from all men a more equitable solution of social problems,” he said. “It demands assistance and help for the underdeveloped countries, where the living standard often is not worthy of human persons. It imposes a zealous study on a world scale for an improvement of living standards.” “The new era, which space conquests have opened up for mankind, will be singularly blessed by the Lord if men will really

Says Soviet Troops In Action In Cuba

SAN JOSE, Costa Rica (UPI) —A Cuban refugee spokesman said here Friday night Russian troops are moving into action against anti-Castro insurgents in j Cuba. Lujs M. Martinez, spokesman for th* Cuban Refugee Committee, quoted what he said were radio reports from Cuba saying “there has been an intense movement of Russian troops and militia units under orders of Russian officers toward the west central section of (Cuba’s) southern coast.” Martinez said at least 3,000 an-ti-Castro guerrillas had landed at various points along Cuba’s south coast during the past three weeks to link up with anti-government forces already operating there. Refugees in the United States have said they will demand U.S. aid if Russian troops attack rebels in Cuba. 4 In Washington, the State Department said ’'small bands” of refugees may have infiltrated Cuba in recent weeks, but added it has no evidence of major military landings 6ri the island. Department spokeman Richard T. Phillips said a “very careful check” had convinced the U.S. government that the number of possible infiltrators is small—probably fewer than 50. Martinez described the reported landings as “part of a developing movement” which will draw reinforcements from all refugee groups in a determined effort to overthrow Premier Fidel Castro. - The refugee spokesman said the infiltrators staged their landings from “Caribbean bases” and “points on the mainland” —presumably meaning Mexico or Central America.

Bluffton Market Robbed Os $7,000 A safe-cracking team netted $7,000 Thursday night at a Bluffton supermarket, then rifled a cash drawer and two. vending machines in a whoisale grocery establishment across the street for another $75. Authorities described ® the techniques of the thieves — believed to have numbered at least two— as “highly professional.” The two establishments involved were Ludwig’s IGA store and K. B. Skiles company. State troopers and the Wells county sheriff’s office have uncovered little concrete evidence, but are checking both buildings for fingerprints. Entrance to the super market , was gained by knocking a hole in . the concrete block wall at the . rear of the store. A drill and explosives were used to open the safe. Authorities said a special ■ drill and a rare type of explosives I were used. Entrance to the Skiles I building was also gained by makl irig a hole in a concrete block wall. • A burglar alarm went off at the Skiles building, apparently scaring 1 the thieves away before they could ■ open the safe there.

WASHINGTON (UPI) — President Kennedy sets out tonight on the longest foreign tour since he entered the White House—a venture in personal diplomacy in West Germany, Great Britain, Italy, and Ireland. The Chief Executive was scheduled to take off from Andrews Air Force Base tonight for Bonn, capital of the West German republic in which he will spend three days conferring with Chancellor Konrad Adenauer and other officials. Kennedy will wind up Wednesday with a visit to the Berlin wall. Before departing for Europe the President had a full day at home beginning with a morning White House conference With 29 civil rights leaders. * Plans Camp Visit After this meeting, Kennedy planned to fly by helicopter to ' Camp David, Md., to spend the * afternoon with his wife and two ' children. He will rejoin his fam- ' ily on Cape Cod when he re- ' turns to the United States ‘ July 3. Tonight the President will fly ■ directly from Camp David to I Andrews Air Force Base to take - off on his transatlantic flight aboard Air Force 1, the large jet-fan transport assigned to his f use. One of the curious and difficult 1 aspects of the President’s trip is . that he will not visit a country where the government is without j political troubles. In West Germany, the Ade- ’ nauer government is on the way ‘ out and Kennedy will devote some time with the aged chancellor’s expected successor, Dr. ' Ludwig Erhard, vice chancellor ’ and minister of economic affairs, i Government Formed Friday In Italy, a new government was formed only Friday, after a ' 36-day search for a successor to I former Premier Amin tore Fan- ■ fani. In Great Britain, Prime i Minister Harold Macmillan is bei lieved to be on the way out because of the recent Profumo t scandal. And even in Ireland, where Kennedy’s visit was originally supposed to be little more than sentimental and ceremonial, th® government of Premier Sean Lemass is in political danger because of an internal fight over budgetary matters. One thing Seems solid about the trip—Pope Paul VI will be crowned on June 30, the day Ken- , nedy arrives in Italy. The Chief Executive, after con- , ferences with Italian officials, ’ will go to Vatican City July 2 , for an audience with the new pontiff before taking off the same day on his return to the United States.

r" ' ' 7 Says Armed Forces . Must Be Reduced

WASHINGTON (UPl)—Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara says the $47 billion defense appropriations bill is missing $l4O million that will force a 60,000man cut in the armed forces. He also claims the House Appropriations Committee left the Defense Department short on money ' needed to buy fighter planes. These were McNamara’s two objections after the House committee passed the record defense spending measure almost intact Friday. McNamra’s complaints brought an immediate reply from Rep. George H. Mahon, D-Tex., chairman of the appropriations subcommittee which worked on the bill. He made clear he believed McNamara was misinformed. But the defense secretary said he would fight in the Senate Ap- . propriations Committee for restoration of the funds to the $47,092,209,000 measure, which amounts to roughly half of the entire federal budget for the sis- • cal year beginning July 1. The House, committee cut Presi- . dent Kennedy’s request by $1.9 ' billion. But most of this reduction was in bookkeeping transactions that meant no actual spend142 Will Go To Major League Game A tatol of 142 persons fro Decatur, about 100 more’ than originally expected, will make the wildcat trip to Chicago next Thursday to see the New York Yankees play the Chicago White Sox at Comiskey park.

ing cuts, and the committee cited its action as proving full support for the U.S, military program. McNamara said in a statement, however, that cuts in military personnel funds “would result in a reduction of our military manpower by some 60,000 men as of the end of the next fiscal year.” Mahon replied that the Defense Department always overestimated personnel costs, and the committee’s report called for manpower to be held at the 2,695,000-man goal set by the President. On the fighter planes, McNamara referred to “proposed cuts in the procurement of Air Force tactical fighter aircraft which would deny us necessary tractical »upport for our combat - ready Army divisions.” Mahon asked what fighter plane McNamara had in mind, and was told it was the RF4C, a reconnaissance version of the F4C Phantom jet fighter. The congressman said the committee’s $25 million cut in research and development funds for the plane was based bn McNaL lira’s own reluctance so go into' any big procurement project until problems in the plane’s development have been solved.

Denounce New East German Travel Rules BERLIN <UPD — The Western Allies today denounced as “illegal” a new Communist East German attempt to halt the flight of refugees by creating a dead zone along the East-West Berlin border. A Western Allied spokesman said the new travel restrictions “are the harshest step in the series of actions which have been i taken since Aug. 13, 1961, to I transform the Soviet Zone and the Soviet sector of Berlin into a vast concentration camp.” "Once again the East German Communist regime *has demonstrated that its system can ex. ist only through the application of measures of represssion and the | flagrant disregard of human rights,” the spokesman said the name of the U.S., British and French missions here. The spokesman called the creation of the forbidden z one “illegal.” The spokesman said, however, the new measure “in no way limits the right of the Allies to move freely in greater Berlin.” The East German action pla'ced the wall area out of bounds four days before President Kennedy’s trip here. There appeared to be a connection between the new restrictions and Kennedy's visit Wednesday. An order issued by Gen. Heinz Hoffman, East German defense minister, barred East Germans from approaching within about 100 yards of the Berlin wall. The Berlin branch of West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer’s Christian Democratic party said the Communists established the zone to prevent East Berliners from “spontaneous actions” during President Kennedy’s Berlin visit. Prisoner Treated For Wound To Arm Enrique H. Rodriquez, 21, who is facing charges of first and second degree burglary and grand larceny in the Adams circuit court, was taken to the Adams county hospital about 8:30 a. m. today for treatment of a self-inflicted cut on his arm. Rodriquez is lodged in the Adams county jail with two companions, Charley Martinez, 25, and Jerry Garcia, 31. All three are residents of a migrant worker camp of ; Bluffton Foods, Inc., near Bluffton. Sheriff Roger Singleton learned of the incident when feeding the prisoners this morning, as one said that he was bleeding. Die sheriff, however, called for additional help from his department and the city police, before entering the jail quarters to investigate the wound. Small Gash Rodriquez had taken the ring of a shower curtain and gouged a cut in his left forearm. He was tak.-n tn the Adams county hospital where only one stitch was needed to close the wound, and then returned to the jaiL Martinez and Garcia were fined $lO and costs, a total of $27 each, in city court Thursday, but were unable to pay the fines and are laying them out in jail. Arraigned Friday The three counts were brought against Martinez for a daylight burglary of the William Harvey home on route 4, Decatur, Sunday afternoon. He, Martinez, Garcia and a fourth accomplice, who is still being hunted, traveled to Chicago where they sold numerous items stolen from the home, including a television set, record player and radio. Martinez and Garcia were charged with compounding a ftiisdemeanor, or aiding the sale of goods they had known were stolen. Rodriquez had been arraigned in the Adams circuit court Friday afternoon, and Robert G. Smith of Decatur was appointed his pauper attorney. After carefully reading his rights to the Mexican migrant, Judge Myles F. Parrish gave him and his attorney additional time in which to enter a plea to the three counts.

Civil Rights Leaders Meet With Kennedy

WASHINGTON (UPI) — President Kennedy called in 29 civil rights leaders today, presumably to urge self-restraint in Negro I demonstrations while Congress ' considers his*'i»oposals to outlaw discrimination. Included among those invited to the White House session were the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and Roy Wilkins, executive secretary of the | National Association for Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). The White House said the meeting was "part of the continuing effort of the President meet with a number of different groups’’ on racial problems. Kennedy met Friday with about 250 lawyers and previously talked with business, labor and religious leaders on the subject. It was believed that today’s discussion would deal with Kennedy’s plea in his message to Congress Wednesday for an end to Negro demonstrations that could provoke violence while the lawmakers are considering his civil rights porposals. Goldwater Opposes Proposal In Congress, where members are bracing for a long and bitter fight over the civil rights legislation, Sen. Barry Goldwater, R-Ariz., joined Senate GOP Leader Everett M. Dirksen, 111., in opposing Kennedy’s proposal to bar discrimination in public accommodations. Goldwater, a potential Republican presidential candieate, said that he had slightly modified his previous stand against civil rights legislation and now backed a limited version of Kennedy's request for federal authority to file school desegregation suits. But Goldwater declared that he would not join with Democrats and liberal Republicans to vote > cloture to shut off an expected ■ Southern filibuster against the 1 civil rights measures. Kennedy's civil rights legislation will start through Congress next week. The Senate Cornin merce Committee will open hearings, possibly Tuesday, on the public accommodations bill, ; which would outlaw segregation in privately owned establishments ■ such as hotels, motels and res- . taurants. While the battle was being joined in Congress, the President’s drive for voluntary desegl regation of public facilities and an end to job discrimination ' against Negroes brought these results: , —The lawyers who met Friday at the White House accepted the President’s suggestion that they form committees that would try to prevent misunderstanding and a breakdown, in communications between the* Negro and white

communities. —Eighteen AFL-CIO building trade unions adopted a program designed to halt discrimination in apprentice training and job referrals in the construction industry. . The presidents of the 18 unions pledged to work in “good faith” toward elimination of any racial restrictions in locals. But they said they would not “delegate to outsiders the right to decide the qualifications for entrance Into the industry and union membership.” The program adopted by the union chiefs contained no penalties for violations of anti-discrim-ination pledges. /A spokesman said it would be left up to each union to decide how to attack any discrimination on building .jobs. Revocation of a local union charter might be one possible enforcement measure, he said.
