First Ike Memoirs Published Today By MERRIMAN SMITH I’PI White House Reporter WASHINGTON (UPD—“Mandate for Change.” the first installment of Dwight D. Eisenhower’s memoirs of his White" House years, was published 'today. The 650-page book has been chosen' as a selection of the Literary Guild Book Club. Advance . installments have appeared serially in a number of major newspapers over the past few weeks. Both of these factors almost it will be a ’best-seller, perhaps on a scale equaling that of his first book, “Crusade in Europe.” Eisenhower deals with the first term of his eight T year (1953-611 administration in the current book. The second term will be covered in another volume planned for publication late next year. The early critical consensus 1 on “Mandate for Change” appeared to be- that while the former president has painstakingly described the great Snd momentous events of his first four years in the White House, he just as carefully omitted all of the colorful details. The meat is there, but the juice is gone. The candor of any political memoir may be argued because the biographer could not be expected to view his official actions in quite the same light as

National Elections In Venezuela Dec. 1

By PHIL NEWSOM t’PI Foreign News Analyst In Caracas’ sprawling Miraflores, Venezuela’s white house, and in the guarded ’interior ministry, President Rdmulo Betancourt and his aides are. preparing the way for free national elections Dec. 1. (The elections are to determine Betancourt’s successor and the new congress which wilT take office next March. But just outside Maracaibo, Venezuela’s oil capital, police pick up a young member of the FALN, the so-called Armed Forces for National Liberation which are aligned with Fidel Castro and which are determined that the elections shall not take place. The young man carries a small but powerful explosive which may be attached to a vital pipeline. It is the same type of explosive the oil companies themselves use but in the hands of the young FALN member it is intended for sabotage. Police Seize Terrorist On a street in interior police pick up another suspected terrorist. In his possession are found detailed plans for a bank robbery. The plan includes the amount of money which passed through the bank on a given day, the names of cashiers and how much each is paid and how the guards are armed. Beside each name is a notation: “Brother of cop.” ‘‘He’s all right.” Others are described by obscenities. The bank robbery doesn’t come off and the plan to sabotage the oil pipeline also fails. But others in the unceasing drive to throw Venezuela into chaos and eventualfy to transform it into another Castro Cuba have been more successful. The immediate goal of the FALN is to disrupt the economy and to goad Venezuela’s military into overthrowing the elected government and setting up a military dictatorship, against which the Communists could rally a revolution. Neither Plan Successful Neither plan has been successful and the betting now is that neither will be. As Betancourt prepares to become the first president in Venezuelan history to turn his office over to a freely elected successor, seven candidates have declared themselves for office. Front - runner is 57-year-old Raul Leoni, head of Betancourt’s own party, Accion Democratica. The party claims more than 900,000 votes out of an electorate of around three and a half million. The party gets credit for the government program which by next March will have distributed land to nearly 100,000 families . and built close to 5;000 schools. A leading opponent is Rafael Caldera, a 47-year-old lawyer and member of the Social Christian party which has worked in coalition with Betancourt and shares credit for national reforms.

Also in the race is Jovito Villalba of the left -of - center Democratic Republican Union. Villalba won an election in 1952 but it was nullified by former dictator Marcos Perez Jimenez. Others, including Vice Admiral Wolfgang Larrazabal, who headed the military junta which took over after Perez Jimenez fell, are given little chance. And the-Communists none at all. They have been suspended from all political activity. Much More Rainfall Needed In Indiana LAFAYETTE, Ind. (UPDSeveral light rains the past week improved the Indiana soil moisture and crop situation, but much more is needed, crop experts said today. Robert E. Straszheim, agricultural statistician at Purdue, said soil moisture supplies improved in some localities, - particularly in the north, due to light showers the latter part of last week. * ■ ‘‘Pastures in these areas have responded to the increased moisture, but 95 per cent of the reporters stil) rate pastures as poor,” Straszheim wrote in his weekly crop report. ‘‘The seeding of winter wheat is nearly complete with less than fivd per cent of the crop remaining to be seeded,” the report said. “Most of the wheat seeded during the past week went into dry soil, but local shower activity was helpful to germination in some areas. “Germination continues slow and uneven with 30 per cent of the wheat up to stands compared with a usual of 85 per cent. A year earlier, 95 per cent of the wheat was up to stands.”, The corn harvest was “extremely rapid” last week, the report said, with 55 per cent now picked compared with an average of 45 per cent for the date. “Few fields of soybeans remained for harvest by last weekend, allowing farmers to concentrate on the corn harvest,” the report said. State climatologist L. A. Schaal, writing in an accompanying report, said “it appears that the two-month drought is about to end.” “The two dry months and the 5 to 8 inch deficit of rainfall for 1963 to date will continue to be felt in several facets of Indiana’s economy,” Schaal said. ‘‘Rainfall deficits for long periods prior to Oct. 31 for many months back to and including 1957 are the rule rather than the exception. “For example, east central Indiana is 18 inches below normal in the Jan. 1, 1960-Oct. 1, 1963 period, also northeast Indiana. Best off in this period was southeastern Indiana with a deficit of only 8 inches.” If you nave something to sell or trade — use the Democrat Want ads — they get BIG results

Soviet Union Unveils New Anti-Missile MOSCOW (UPD — The Soviet Union today unveiled the vaunted Soviet anti-missile missile which Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev once said could “hit a fly in the sky.” A squadron of three of the silver-painted rockets, fitted with huge fins at mid-fuselage and tail, was hauled through Red Square on open trucks for this year’s military parade on the anniversary of the Russian revolution. The fins apparently provide maneuverability. Minutes earlier Soviet Defense Minister Marshal Rodion Malinovsky had described the Soviet Union’s might in a brief speech which warned that any aggressors would meet a “crushing retaliatory blow.” Frol Kozlov Absent The parade was held in frosty weather in front of Khrushchev and other top government and Communist party leaders. They had solemnly mounted the Lenin mausoleum as the an : cient clock in the Kremlin struck 10 a.m. Conspicuously absent from the black and red marble monument was Frol Kozlov, a member of the Soviet Presidium who was taken ill six months ago. He has been reported to have suffered a stroke, and did not attend another demonstration in Red Square last May Day. The unveiling of the new Soviet anti-missile missile was the highlight of this year’s celebration and followed the first showing last year of a Polaris-type naval rocket. The Polaris-type was back again today, in larger numbers and bearing a naval crest. Khrushchev told.- a visiting group of American newspaper editors last year that Russia had such a fast and accurate rocket that it could shoot down

a “fly in the sky.” Fifty Feet Long The silvery multi-staged weapon appeared to be between 50 and 55 feet long, somewhat shorter than the Russian ballistic missiles that once were installed in Cuba. The latter also were displayed today. The 10-minute roll-past of military hardware included lesser ground-to-ground f and sur-face-to-air missiles and rockets, along with giant tanks and selfpropelled cannon. Members of the Moscow military garrison and cadets marched in review. Then, banners and portraits of Lenin waving in the air, came the vanguard of hundreds of thousands of Russians who marched across the square to the blare of martial music and exhortations from loudspeakers. Muncie Man, Wife Convicted In Death MARION, Ind. (UPD — An allmale Grant Circuit Court jury Wednesday night convicted a Muncie man on second - degree murder charges and his wife on manslaughter charges in the death of their 3-year-old son last January. Samuel Jones Jr., 32, and his wife, Jane Helene, 28, originally were charged with second-de-gree .murder. But the jury which deliberated about six hours found Mrs. Jones guilty of the lesser offense. Mrs. Jones displayed no emotion as the verdict was read but Jones appeared shocked when the jury reported finding him guilty and recommended life imprisonment. The child. John Wesley Jones, died of pneumonia but the state charged the illness was brought on by malnutrition caused by neglect. The couple denied the charge during the trial which lasted more than two weeks. The Joneses were indicted by a Delaware County grand jury and the case was transferred here from Muncie on a change of venue. Judge Robert Caine ordered a pre-sentence’ investigation.
