SPECIAL WASHINGTON REPORT

YOUTH NEEDED TO SOLVE NEIGHBORHOOD PROBLEMS By U.S. Sen. Harrison A- Williams (D-N.J.) Senate Sponsor of The National Service Corps Bill

In the midst of this nation’s general prosperity, critical human needs still exist. With our great human resources, more citizens should be encouraged to serve in their local communities to help

meet these needs. As a means of stimulating even greater citizen action, the President has recommended creation of a National Service Corps. It is my hope that one of the accomplishments of Congress for 1963 will be the enactment of this bill. Few achievements could have greater impact on the social conscience of all Americans. National Service Corps volunteers—3,ooo Americans in all—will work with those Americans in greatest need in both urban and rural areas of the United States.

They will serve at the request of local officials and community groups. This new body would tap the same reservoirs of idealism drawn upon by the Peace Corps. Where help is needed to fight poverty, neglect or deprivation, that is where corpsmen will be put to work. Even though this program is still in the proposal stage, the Corps is already having this effect: At hearings I conducted for the Senate Subcommittee on the National Service Corps a few weeks ago, witness after witness told us how volunteers were needed and how they would be useful for a multitude of duties. An official for Baltimore’s Human Renewal program, for example, emphasized the need for Corpsmen to help train school dropouts for jobs, to counsel them, to encourage them to go back to school. A businessman from Wasco, Calif., cited the difficulties in providing classroom instructions for the 200 children of migratory workers who come to that area during April and May. "Corpsmen,” he said, "would solve that problem as they could overcome language barriers by teaching basic English, help to integrate children into regular classes and help in developing , and encouraging parent respon- , sibility.” The director of a hospital for the mentally ill in Tennessee!

said that the discharge rate from his hospital could be increased by 23 percent if he could* obtain volunteer corpsmen to aid his overworked staff. The President’s proposal for a National Service program stems directly from his concern for the most pressing human needs of our nation. This challenge is being met as the National Corps spirit is already growing. More Americans are becoming aware of the need that 32 million people in this nation have for help and the spark of human understanding that leads to self-improvement. The first step has already been taken in Congress. The Senate Subcommittee approved the bill on July 14. Early passage is expected. If the momentum continues, we’ll soon have an exciting new program that will draw upon the traditional American values of neighborly concern and hard work where needed. Corpsmen will receive no salaries as such. They will receive a modest living allowance and a small stipend to ease their transition to civilian careers. The program would start witli 130 to 300 men and women in early fall. Gradually expanding to the maximum authorized enrollments, the corps would reach 1,000 by the end of fiscal year 1964 and 3,000 in perhaps three years. The goal of the Corps will be, by the efforts of a few, to ignite I the energies of many.

Opening Skirmish In Trade Battle

By WERNER ZWICK . United Press International | FRANKFURT, Germany (UPI) The trans Atlantic chicken was may be just the opening skirmish in a trade battle between the free world’s economic giants. The issue in the current struggle is whose chickens West Germans will fry in the future. Not an earth-shattering problem? Perhaps, but feathers started flying when the European •Common Market Commission in Brussels virtually, banned the cheaper American frozen chickens by clamping a prohibitive tariff on them. Last year, West Germans bought $51.3 million worth of poultry from the United States. Since the tariff boost, American chicken imports have fallen to a trickle. “Fifty million dollars is just a drop in the bucket compared to $1.2 billion worth of agricultural products West Germany buys, from the United States,” Edmund | H. Driggs, European director of 1 the Institute of American Poultry Industries, said. “But what happened to the chickens could happen to other commodities.” Become Test Case . The chickens have become a test case in what seems to shape up as a trade war between the economic giants of the Western world, the United States and the Common Market. The French, eager to dump their chicken surplus on the West German market at the expense of the Americans, apparently thought they already had won the war. But then the United States threatened to strike back at the spot where it hurts most — the pocketbook By pitting the Volkswagen and other vulnerable Common Market exports against the chickens, it hoped to reach a compromise. If the American threats are implemented, West Germany will be hit Worse than other Common Market countries, the Federal Economics Ministry complained. And a spokesman for the country’s export-aimed electrical industry lamented bitterly: “Those stupid birds did all the damage.” Consumers Like Them The West German consumers seem to like the “stupid birds” from America. American poultry first hit West German frying pans four years ago and aroused a ravenous appetite for more. Per capita consumption jumped from 7 to 14 pounds. West Germans once regarded fried chicken as upper-crust fare ranked not far below caviar. Then they discovered they could afford to buy American broilers. Corner grocers installed electric fryers for the take - home trade, and chicken restaurants

shot up throughout the country. German cook books came out with “southern fried” recipes. Even the entertainment industry got on the bandwagon with the hit tune “Brathendl Polka” (Fried Chicken Polka), a ditty popularized by a Bavarian hillbilly.’ Comes To End But the boom ended abruptly when the Common Market commission raised the • tariff on American broilers. Chicken consumption in West Germany declined 20 per cent. Consumers switched to other meat rather than pay a premium for European poultry. And with the Common Market heading for a common agricultural market, consumers are afraid they will be deprived one day of other attractively priced American foodstuffs. Blast Marks Berlin Wall Anniversary BERLIN (UPI) — A heavy explosion on the Communist side of a border canal early today ushered in the second anniversary of the hated Red-built Berlin wall. West Berlin police said a Hue flame shot 45 feet into the air as the blast echoed across the Teltow Canal at 3:30 a.m. The mysterious explosion went off in the restricted zone behind barbed wire on the East German bank of the canal. West Berlin police said they saw Communist border guards carrying out., a search and heard shots. But they could not see if the Reds arrested anyone. The cause of the explosion was not known. The incident, deliberate or not, was the only one reported in the karly hours of the anniversary as both East and West acted to keep the day a peaceful one. It was feared, however, that there might be demonstrations after an 8 p.m. rally in the meeting hall of the technical university. This rally was called by the “Union of Political Prisoners” under the motto “The wall must fall.” Riot squaas stood ai alert in West Berlin as wreaths to refugees killed while trying to escape from communism were laid at the wall during the day without any disturbance. West Berlin police put up barricades, held water cannon in readiness and were prepared to put down promptly any riots which might erupt as they did last Aug. 13. The Communists used the anniversary to reiterate their demands for negotiations between the two German states, but they raised no new threats to West Berlin. It was exactly two years ago that East German police and troops arrived at the Brandenburg Gate and other city border crossing points and began erecting barricades at 3 a.m. to stop the flow of refugees out .of the Communist zone. By the time the city was awake, it’was split by a concrete block and barbed-wire barrier which has become a symbol of the division between the free West and the Communist World. As a tribute to the 65 refugees killed climbing the wall to reach the West, West Berliners today laid wreaths on monuments to their memory. Small processions were allowed to trudge solemnly to the border. Church Homecoming Scheduled Sunday The annual homecoming of the Salem church will be held Sunday at the church. The homecoming will open with the morning service at 9:30 o'clock. A basket dinner will be served at the noon hour, and a special program will be presented during the afternoon.

The death of the young boy was the second in Adams county this year from a traffic accident. Waldo Snyder of this city was the first fatality of the year when he was killed in a one-car accident on May 19. Search For Family Enters Fourth Day MADISON, Ind. (UPI) — Civil Air Patrol units were grounded by rain and a heavy cloud cover this morning as a search for five members of a Muncie family in a missing private plane entered its fourth day. The air and ground hunt, which covered three states and utilized private, state police and National Guard units, began to narrow along a line stretching more than 300 miles from here to West Virginia. An Indiana search official said there were “a significant numbgr of clues and leads coming in from the Versailles area and as soon as the cloud cover lifts about noon, we’ll thrown up an intense low-altitude cover in that area.” Hope was fading rapidly that the searchers would find them alive. The brown and white single-engine plane was last seen when it took off from the Gallipolis, Ohio air strip Friday. The center of the Indiana search was moved to here today after false reports of wreckage were checked out near Liberty Monday.

MISSILE MONITOR—The 14,300-ton USAFS (U.S. Air Force Ship) Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg aims its huge electronic eyes into space. The ship, converted from a World War II troop transport, will be stationed in the Indian Ocean, halfway around the world from U.S. launching pads at Cape Canaveral. Her three-and-four-story-high antennas will follow the death plunges of missile nose cones, recording millions of bits of information. The Vandenberg will carry 100 scientists and 100 crewmen. She and a sister Ship, the -Gen. H. H. Arnold, were converted by the Air Force for SIOO million.

An Air National Guard helicopter checked an object that was first believed to be a stabilizer from the missing plane which was spotted in heavy brush. The plane, carrying Dr. George McCoy, 45, his wife, Mildred, 40, and their three boys, George, 18, David, 13, and James, 3,. headed from Ohio to Muncie when it apparently ran into severe weather that blanketed the area in between Friday. “If the pilot got lost in a storm, it’s possible that he lost his sence of direction and headed east instead of west,” Ohio CAP Wing Commander Col. Robert Herweh said in announcing his groups would begin searching into West

Virginia. Col. Herweh said it was “possible but doubtful” that the missing craft made a safe forced landing and its occupants were still alive. “The plane must be assumed down because it had less than four hours’ fuel supply when it was last heard from,” he said. The first three days of the massive search involved 350 persons, including 36 planes of the Indiana Wing of the CAP and covered 29,639 square miles. Monday, there were at least seven planes and 33 ground coordinators working to locate the missing family in more than a 6,000 square mile search. Indiana CAP concen-

trated its aerial network to an 880 square mile area of Eastern Indiana. Col. Bob R. Abel, director of the Indiana search, expressed hope squirrel hunters, who begin hunting Thursday, will be on the lookout for clues in the dense underbrush not visible from the air. “The slightest clue from anyone may lead to the eventual finding and identification of the missing craft,” Abel said. “We don’t want to miss a single one.” Trade in a good town — Decatur.
