To Intensify Military Aid

WASHINGTON (UPD—President Johnson has approved plans to intensity and streamline the military effort against Red guerrillas in South Viet Nam. He also is seeking a formula to block further Communist advances in neighboring Laos. This was disclosed today by high officials following a White House session Wednesday night at which Secretary of State Dean Rusk and Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara reported on their Honolulu strategy talks with American military and diplomatic officials from Southeast Asia. Rusk and McNamara returned Wednesday from the two-day conference in Hawaii with “a number of recommendations” for stemming the deterioration of the Communist position in the critical area.

intervention in turbulent Laos are not in the cards at present, officials said, although such steps could not be ruled out if the situation worsens. Faces Major Problem A major problem facing the Johnson administration, they acknowledged, was how to convince Red China and North Viet Nam of the peril of their present course without resorting to steps which could embroil American forces in a mainland war. In the past, U.S. military officials have strongly resisted any plans for sending American combat troops into action on the mainland unless they had advance authorization to use atomic weapons, if that became .necessary. The late President John F. Kennedy turned thumbs down on this condition when intervention in Laos was being considered in 1961, and there is no indication that Johnson would be willing to give the Pentagon such authorization. Officials Anxious Some officials appeared anxious today to tone down the crisis atmosphere built up in recent days by a series of U.S. warnings to the Reds. They apparently feel the American public is beginning to expect dramatic moves which are not contemplated unless the Laotian Communists resume their drive toward Thailand or the U.S.supported South Vietnamese war effort begins to fall apart. A White House spokesman said after Wednesday night’s session that Johnson and his top aides “reviewed the situation in Southeast Asia in the light of the consultations” Rusk and McNamara had 'in Honolulu. ' „ Others at the White House meeting were presidential adviser McGeorge Bundy; Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; Director John A. McCone of the Central Intelligence Ag’ncy; Undersecretary of State George W. Ball, and William Bundy,

Gas Company Seeks Additional Permits Northern Indiana Public Service Company today filed a petition with the public service commission of Indiana requesting authority to issue 3,250 additional space heating permits for NIPSCO’s Fort Wayne service area f Harley W. Jenson, Fort Wayne division manager for the Gas company, said today that increased gas supplies and propane facilities will enable the company to serve more space heating customers. He noted that, during the past four years, the utility has been able to issue more than 14,000 space heating permits because of greater gas supplies and expanded facilities. The most recent issue was 1,600 permits in November of last year. NIPSCO expects to receive a larger daily supply of natural gas by tne end of 1964. The Gas company has already agreed to contract for 4,500,000 cubic feet of additional gas from Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line company whenever the federal power commission approves Panhandle’s expansion program for this year. “This is further evidence," Jenson said, “of our unceasing efforts to provide the people of Fort Wayne, Bluffton, Decatur, Columbia City and the surrounding areas with plenty of dependable natural gas.” Gale P. Hammond To Graduate Monday MADISON, Wis. — Gale P. Hammond, 603 Marshall St., Decatur, Ind., is a candidate for the master of science, horticulture degree at the University of Wisconsin’s June commencement at Madison this year, held at Wisconsin’s historic Camp Randall Monday on the campus here. More than 3.100 students are scheduled to file across the commencement platform to receive diplomas, but since the UW commencement is held as final semester examinations come to a close and before all final grades can be compiled, it is possible that some students who are candidates for degrees may not actually complete all of their scholastic work by commencement day. ’ ~- assistant secretary of state for Far Eastern affairs.

Struck Plant At Evansville Is Reopened EVANSVILLE, Ind. (UPDThirty non - strikers pierced picket lines at the International Steel Co. without incident today and reopened the plant' in the wake of a court restraining order against violence. About 50 pickets from the Teamsters Union were marching in pairs when the nans'rikers approached the main entrance.

a temporary restraining order aimed at preventing further violence at the plant where 40 persons were , injured Tuesday in a fistfight between nonStrikers and Teamsters Union pickets. 1 Un ton officials said they would obey the court order restraining them from interfering wi‘h non-strikers and Cliff Arden, president of Teamsters Local 215. said the unionwould den, president of Teamsters Local 215. said the union would have only two “token” pickets at the plant today. Buente. who heard testimony from seven persons—mostly company officials and non-strik-ing workers —before issuing the temporary restraining order, set Monday for a hearing on a permanent injunction asked by the company. Meanwhile, company and union representatives reported “a lit'le progress” in talks Wednesday when negotiations for a new contract resumed. It was the breakdown in contract talks last month which touched

off the strike. The next bargaining session was set for Friday afternoon. The resumption of negotiations came at the request of Mayor Frank ' McDonald who called representatives of both sides on the carpet at City Hall following Tuesday’s violence. McDonald told them the city “will not tolerate" further violence . and urged them to resume negotiations. Major stumbling blocks in contract negotiations have been job security, job classifications, wages and pensions. Employment At New High In May INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Indiana’s non-farm employment last month was an estimated 1,525.000, a new high for the month of M!ay. • Director Lewis F. Nicolini of the Indiana Employment Security Division also reported Wednesday that preliminary figures indicate unemployment in the state was down to 59,000, the lowest May total in 11 years.

Release Translation Os Pilot's Message WASHINGTON (UPD—"Skipper’s shot. We’re bin shot. I was tryin’ ta help.” Those were the last words spoken by Raymond E. Andress, copilot of a Pacific Airlines F 27 just before the plane plunged to earth 30 miles from San Francisco May 7, killing all 44 aboard. The Civil Aeronautics Boara (CAB) Wednesday released an electronic translation of the final communication from the flight. Prepared by the Bell Telephone Laboratory in Murray Hill, N.J., it confirmed almost beyond all doubt that 43 of those who died were victims of a mass murder —the 44th being the passenger who shot both pilots. The translation of what was almost gibberish in the original tape was achieved by use of a

spectograph, • which literally makes a visual recording of the human voice. < The “We’re bin shot’,’ apparently was “We’re being shot,” although the Crfß would not go beyond the official' Bell analysis. , The "I was tryin’ ta help” also was not totally clear. “I was,” Bell admitted, was an educated guess, the “ta” prob- » ably was “to.” The final sentence did not indicate for sure whether Andress was trying to help the pilot, Ernest A. Clark, or may have been attempting to aid somebody else in grappling with the killer. The CAB’s release of the deciphered tape closed the books on its part of the investigation. The FBI still is checking the criminal aspects — principally the background of one passenger, formerly Philippines Olympic athlete Frank Gonzalez, who was established as owning a high-powered revolver found in the wreckage.
