Mideast war grave threat By K. C. Thaler LONDON UPI—A high diplomatic assessment warned today the Mideast war has posed a grave threat of major confrontation in the Mediterranean between the United States and the Soviet Union. Hie super powers are facing the beginning of a power struggle on vast scale infinitely more important in its implications than the Vietnam war. At stake is control of the Mediterranean, considered as one at the most important and vital communications centers, not only with the Middle East but with the rest of the world from Europe to the Far East. This is what the Russians are after, the assessment said. To achieve this aim, the Kremlin put all its assets on the Arabs. Moscow figured on a rapid Arab victory over Israel and, through it, Soviet domination of one of the world’s most vital and sensitive nerve centers. This conflict, which has emerged with great clarity in the aftermath of the ArabIsrraeli war and through Moscow’s bitter reaction to its outcome, cannot be settled by competitive bidding between the big powers of East and West, the assessment said. It can only be solved, if a settlement is at all feasible, by an understanding between the two powers, the United States and the Soviet Union, the assessment said. The United States is held to have neglected the Middle East and its vital political and strategic role in terms of the world power balance, according to the authoritative diplomatic assessment Britain, having lost her strength and her influence in the area, especially since the ill-fated Anglo-French Suez intervention in 1956, can do little at present to improve the situation. The Kremlin has for more than a decade—probably over the past 15 years—systematically worked toward the penetration of the area. It has invested a fortune in arms and aid projects, using the Arabs as the key to their policy. Having suffered a severe setback through the Israeli victory, Moscow is now out to recover as much lost ground as possible, again apparently ready to pay a high price for the achievement of its objective. What this price will he is so far not yet clear. Moscow may pour fresh arms into the Arab countries, but this will take time. Moscow therefore may seek a breakthrough by other means, exploiting current inflamed Arab reaction to the hilt The first step appears to be directed towards forcing Israeli withdrawal to the armistice lines.

TV in (By RICK DU BROW) HOLLYWOOD UPI —NBSTV Monday night offered an hour examination of the investigation by New Orleans Diet Atty. Jim Garrison into the assassination of President Ken-

nedy.

And a question that must be asked la why the network, after conducting ita own inquiry on such an important subject, saw fit to spring a very late announcement of the program— just late Friday—which meant many viewers were probably not even aware of it It obviously missed numerous television broadcast listings, and there was little opportunity to call attention to it. One possible reason that comes to mind is that NBC-TV may have wanted to keep a tight lock on its uncovered facts until air time was near, for presumable protection and therefore advantage for its program. This thought, howeveris still not too convincing in view of the fact that there were three days remaining for a possible lapse between the announcement and the program. In addition, CBS has for some time planned a multi-part examination of the Warren Commission report on the assassination, and has made no secret

of it

This last fact of course, leads to another possible reason: that the well-publicized, four-part four-hour series at CBS-TV broadcasts begins this coming Sunday, and that NBC-TV wanted to undercut it for competitive purposes. One dosen’t like to think that such considerations enter into such an important national matter. Whatever the cause, the late scheduling of Monday night’s Youths held in Legion robbery CORYDON UPI—Flurries at warning shots by state police and Harrison and Crawford County authorities prompted the surrender Wednesday at two 17-year-old boys suspected in the burglary of an American Legion Post. A manhunt for the two boys, Michael Allen, believed to be an escapee from the Indiana Boys School at Plainfield, and Kenneth Saltsman of Indianapolis, began when the boys sped away from Harrison County authorities near Corydon. The car crashed into a parked auto in Corydon, and the boys fled on foot Police said the ear contained 52 cartons at cigarettes, whisky, wine, shotgun shells and other items believed to be the booty from a burglary of the American Legion Post at

Paoli.

Officers caught up with the boys two miles east of here along Little Indian Creek, and Saltsman surrendered after a volley of warning shots. Allen kept running. Later Indiana State Troopers spotted Allen about one and a half miles further east, and once more fired warning shots. Apparently the bullets were too close that time, and Allen surrendered.

review

program, “The J.F.K. Conspiracy: The Case of Jim Garrison," did it a distinct disservice, for it was a wholly fascinating, exceptionally provocative look at the subject, with an incredibly bizarre cast of characters. The broadcast had promised to offer “considerable new material” and to present evidence that would “show discrepancies in the statements made by two key witnesses in Garrison’s case.” The Monday program, exploring Garrison’s investigation of an alleged conspiracy in the assassination, focused on the testimony of key witnesses and methods allegedly used to obtain evidence. And the footage of the broadcast was, to put it mildly, hardly likely to aid the case being put together in New Orleans. Witnesses disputed evidence which led to the indictment of New Orleans businessman Clay Shaw as a conspirator. Witnesses also told of inducements. And several experts, one from Yale and another from New York University, cast their doubts on certain material. To understand the total effect of the program, however, one had to sit through the conversations with several of the more bizarre persons interviewed. Incredible still seems a mild word for the atmosphere created, and at course the fact that all this distastefulness is somehow, in the public mind, n< w part of the story of the death of a President, is immeasurably depressing. But the program should have been seen, and it is a pity that NBC-TV, regardless of its reasons, did not go out of its way to make this clear.

Floods throoton os rivers crest By Unite! Bras* International Much of the nation had sunny skies on the first full day of summer today but heavy rains which hit the Mississippi Valley Wednesday night created new flood threats along the Missouri River. Severe thunderstorms and at least one tornado developed ahead of a cold front Wednesday in southeast Missouri, western Kentucky and southern Illinois. A tornado destroyed a church at America, HI., and trees and power lines were knocked down in surrounding areas. Predicted flood crests were raised for the Missouri River today following Wednesday’s heavy rains. The runoff from the rains caused flooding in lowlying areas of Missouri bottom lands. The Weather Bureau said the Missouri is above flood stage from Nebraska City, Neb., to its confluence with the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers above St Louis. The Missouri is expected to crest at 28.6 feet at Hermann, Mo., and 32 feet at St. Charles, Mo. Flood stage at St. Charles is 25 feet The Coast Guard banned river traffic from Waverly, Mo., to the Mississippi—probably until Saturday. Only light showers were reported today in the Southeast and the Northeast from Indiana to Maine, areas hit by violent thunderstorms and tornadoes Wednesday.
