Tanker Flashes Distress Signal NEW YORK UPI—The Italian tanker Alberto Bennati flashed an SOS early today and reported it was taking on water about 500 miles east of Savannah, Ga., the Coast Guard here reported. It was not immediately known whether the 656-foot vessel was in danger of sinking. The Coast Guard said the tanker reported it was taking on water in its engine room. Although the Alberto Bennati was not in the path of Hurricane Faith, the Coast Guard said, it was within 180 miles of the plotted center of the storm. It was not known how many crewmen the Italian ship, based in Palermo, was carrying nor its cargo or destination. The Swedish freighter Kyoto was 40 miles from the Alberto Bennati when the SOS was sent at 8 a.m. EDT and altered its course to rendezvous with the stricken Italian ship.

to the EDITOR

To The Editor; I know there has been a lot of discussion about motorcycles and all that type of vehicle, but after yesterday, I think it’s about time someone clued all these people in on a few road courtesies. My companion and I were approximately the fifth car from the back of a funeral procession when we happened to glance back and see two people on cycles cutting in and out among the cars. Tou can imagine how this incident made the family of the deceased feel. If these same two people had that little respect for the dead, it makes a person wonder just how much respect (if any) they have for the living. Sincerely,

M. C.

DENVER UPI — It’s understandable if attorney Isaac Moore finds himself wishing for the uncomplicated courtroom drama of the pre-television days. While questioning a witness in Denver district court, the witness suddenly objected and commented; ‘‘That’s a leading question, sir. I watch these detective movies and I know.” Moore rephrased the question.

Car Safety Bill Passed By House WASHINGTON UPI — Unprecedented federal safety standards to be included in new cars starting in 1968 needed only presidential approval today to become law. The House voted unanimously Wednesday — 365 to 0 — to approve the auto safety bill; the Senate passed it on a voice vote a short time later to send the measure to the White House. The auto industry, which was successful in keeping criminal penalties out of the measure, pledged its full cooperation in implementing the bill. The House approved a companion highway safety bill but the Senate deferred action on

this measure.

AH new autos sold in the United States starting in 1968, including those of foreign manufacturers, would have to conform with the safety standards to be drafted by the commerce secretary by Jan. 31, 1967. Used cars would be subject to a set of federal standards within two years after the bill

becomes law.

The 26 safety measures now required by the federal government in its purchase of vehicles are expected to form the basis for the new standards, which would affect buses and trucks as well as cars. These include interior padding, telescopic steering wheels and dual brak-

ing systems.

The bill also calls for development of prototype safety cars of the future, disclosure of defects, federal tire standards and I a federal register of drivers who lose their licenses.

AUtal Teenager's View By JANET STAUB About this time last year this column bemoaned the fact of the boring last days of summer. Well that was last year and for some it is the same this year. But as I happily discovered a Senior in High School has no boring last summer days. The Senior has to have special pictures taken and arrange for the traditional Senior cords. The regular back-to-school purchases of books, supplies, and clothes have to be made. Besides all of the "Important” things the Seniors have to do, they must get prepared to be looked up to by all of the underclassmen. Seniors usually grow up a lot during that "magic year.” During that year they realize that this is it after this I’m on my own. Even if college is on the calendar after High School the pupils are somewhat on their own. Thinking about being a Senior in High School sure makes one feel old, but just think of the poor “old” College Seniors! BY THE WAY: Greencastle’s first football game is Friday.

Thant Leaving His U.N. Post UNITED NATIONS UPI — Secretary General Thant has decided to quit the United Nations when his five-year term expires Nov. 3 because he is frustrated in the world organization's effectiveness as a peacekeeping force, particularly in Viet Nam. Informed diplomatic sources said the Burmese official would make the announcement later

today.

They said Thant felt trapped in the vice of power politics and was deeply concerned that his attempts to securing peace in Southeast Asia had not met with success. The sources maintained Thant’s decision to step down will be "final” and that only a political “miracle” would lead him to change his mind.

Veterans 1 Day WASHINGTON UPI—President Johnson, with special thought for U.S. troops in Viet Nam, issued a proclamation Wednesday designating Nov. 11 as “Veterans’ Day.” "We honor those who wore the uniform in days past and those who wear it today,” the President said in a statement. “Especially this year our thoughts go out to the hundreds of thousands who are resisting the forces of aggression and violence in Viet Nam.”

Peace Corpsmon's Summer Heat

Trial Continues

Proposes Cuts In Europe Units WASHINGTON UPI—Senate Democratic leaders, after consultation with President Johnson, Wednesday proposed a “substantial reduction” of U.S. forces permanently stationed in

Europe.

Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield, Mont., offered a new “sense of the Senate” resolution voicing sentiment the Senate Democratic Policy Committee hammered out at seven secret meetings since mid-July. In a statement for the Senate, Mansfield said “the time has come,” in view of Western Europe’s improved relations with Russia and its own capacity for self-support, to alter the Senate’s 1951 advice to President Harry S. Truman that an additional four military divisions should back up the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) defense line. “Western Europe has long since rehabilitated itself after the devastation of World War II,” Mansfield said. “It is now a thriving and dynamic region of greatly expanded economic and political and potential military capacity.” In addition, he said, NATO allies in Europe have kept their own troop commitments “remote from the estimates which they originally accepted as necessary,” strongly suggesting a changed view of Eastern Europe and relations which have altered for the better.” "There is an obvious lessening of tensions as compared with 1951,” Mansfield said. Mansfield pointed out that this shift has caused France to insist on a withdrawal of forces from their country. Finally, the Democratic leader emphasized, it is “wholly unwarranted to sustain an unnecessary dollar exchange drain” on American resources when it is indicated American commitments are in excess of needs.

Penalty Too Light DALLAS UPI—Clyde Franklin Stacks, 23, heard himself sentenced to from two to three years in prison for car theft. He mumbled it was not enough. He said he wanted 10 years. “That’s what it will take to break me,” Stacks said. “How about five?” Judge Joe B. Brown asked incredulously. “No sir, 10,” Stacks said. Other prisoners looked horrified and Judge Brown agreed to the request.

WHITAKER

MWANZA, Tanzania UPI — Two key prosecution witnesses were to be called today in the murder trial of a U.S. Peace Corpsman accused of fatally beating his wife because he thought she planned to be unfaithful. The two witnesses, as yet unnamed, were expected to be villagers from Maswa, where the defendant, 24-year-old William Kinsey of Washington, N.C., and his wife Peverly, 23, taught school. Kinsey is accused of beating Peverly, of Riverside, Conn., to death with an iron bar and a rock on a hillside near Maswa last March 27. Kinsey claims she fell to her death from a high rock. If found guilty, he could be hanged. The prosecution’s contention that Kinsey killed his wife because he believed she planned to be unfaithful was steadily assailed Tuesday by defense counsel Byron Georgiadis.

Wichita is the largest city in Kansas.
