Demo Rule Is Praised ByJohnson MIAMI BEACH UPI — President Lyndon B. Johnson, In his first major political speech since assuming office, said Thursday night three years of Democratic rule had revitalized America into a thriving nation so powerful no aggressor would attack it. Amid the tightest security measure ever effected for a visiting dignitary to the fabled Gold Coast, Johnson apparently sounded tne keynote for his election campaign. "We intend to prove that government can be prudent and progressive,” he told a ?100-a-plate dinner of 3,000 Democrats at a luxurious oceanfront hotel. “We intend also to prove that a compassionate nation can be a strong nation.” The President, accompanied by his wife and two teen-aged daughters, planned to arise from his hotel bed before dawn and fly back to Washington so he could put in a full day at his White House desk. Johnson's speech climaxed an openly political visit to the state which has gone Republican in the last three presidential elections and followed by three months a similar fence-mending trip by the late President John F. Ken-

nedy.

Johnson’s reception, like Kennedy’s, was warm despite a downpour near Palatka where 10,000 persons huddled under umbrellas and other shelter to hear him speak at ceremonies marking the start of construction of a cross-Florida barge canal. The weather was fair in south Florida and a crowd of several hundred gathered at the Bayshore Country Club here when Johnson's helicopter landed after a flight from Palm Beach where the President paid an unexpected visit to the ailing father of Kennedy. Police, state troopers and (Secret Servicemen had sealed off the club, but about 150 persons, including many fathers carrying their children, surged toward the President as he walked toward his black limousine. Johnson smiled and shook many

hands.

mind was that of Tony Hope who had been a classmate of his in grammar school. Murphy said, however, that Keenan told him this was only a “fleeting” thought because he felt the elder Hope was “so highly regarded” that it would not be right to stage a crime involving his son.

Defense Lawyers Call Sinatra, Jr. LOS ANGELES UPI—Defense attorneys planned to call Frank Sinatra Jr. as their first witness today in the federal case of three men accused of kidnaping the young singer. The government must complete presentation of its case before the 20-year-old Sinatra testifies under a defense subpoena. He was on hand Thursday in the federal courthouse but the government’s case ran behind schedule as prosecutor Thomas R. Sheridan completed reading into the record alleged confessions given to Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents by all three defendants. Defense attorneys disputed the validity of the statements attributed to defendants Barry Worthington Keenan, 23, John William Irwin, 42, and Joseph Cylde Amsler, 23. FBI agent Emmett Murphy testified that Keenan told him his original choice as a kidnapvictim was Tony Hope, 23-year old son of comedian Bob Hope. Keenan was quoted as saying he had been thinking about how to solve his financial problems last October and decided to stage a kidnaping. He said the first name that came to his

B U. S. Medics Escape Ambush SAIGON, South Viet Nam UPI—Eight U. S. Army medics escaped a Communist ambush Wednesday but eight Vietnamese troops escorting them were killed, a U. S. military spokesman said today. The ambush took place the same day as a major battle between the Communist 514th Guerilla Battalion and a government force four times its size. The guerrillas slipped away from the superior Vietnamese force and shot down one of its planes. The Communist attack on the Americans was a separate incident. None of the medics involved was identified. The spokesman said none sustained casual-

ties. Another Viet Cong ambush in a different area the same day killed 15 Vietnamese who had been on a road-clearing operation in Communist-infested territory.

sian Scientist to establish a satellite observation station in Cuba. The island is less than 250 miles from the U. S. missle base at Cape Kennedy. Fla. The official press agency Tass identified the scientist as Nikolai Yerpylev, scientific secretary of the Soviet Academy of Science. In Washington, a U.S. space expert said such a station in Cuba would help the Soviets keep more precise track of their own manned and unmanned craft in orbit. He said he doubted thet the Russians needed a Cuban base to keep watch on U.S. launchings from Cape Kennedy, addnig that Soviet newsmen in Florida and Russian trawlers which frequent U. S. East Coast waters can perform this function. The official deduced that the Soviets would use the Cuban station as a camera observation post for obtaining precise information about satellite orbits. Such date, he said, is particular-
