The show of force Wednesday by three rocket-firing jet tighten led the army-backed provisional president. Supreme Court Presi dent Camilo GaUegos Toledo, to drop his claim to the presidency vacated Tuesday by Jose Maria Velasco Ibarra. That cleared the way for the succession of Arosemena, 42, the left-leaning vice president elected with Velasco Ibarra in June I960. Congress already had proclaimed him president Tuesday night. GaUegos, a political centrist, re signed within minutes after the jets fired rockets and brief ma chine gun bursts in swoops over the military barracks as tank supported soldiers held Arose mena a virtual prisoner at the legislative palace. Though the barracks seemed to be the target, the palace was jarred by two blasts from the jets, U. S.-made T33s. Residents swarmed into the streets as ex plosions echoed off the surround ing mountains. Despite all the noise, no damage or casualties were reported. Gallegos' resignation was re reived at the palace with cheers and applause. The troops and tanks withdrew. Arosemena took over the presidential palace, where his opponent had holed up. Col. Aurelio Naranjo of the de fense ministry announced the Quito garrison accepted Arose mena as president in response to popular demand. The army command had dele gated the executive power to Gal legos Tuesday night, before Aros emena was released from the ar rest Velasco Ibarra had put him under earlier in the day. Wednes day the army leaders refused to recognize the congressional proc lamation elevating the vice presi dent. Hours before the raid air force Col. Jacinto Ochoa. commander of the Taura Air Base, was re ported to have warned the army to "recognize Arosemena as the legitimate president or the planes here wiU attack." Students shout ing antiarmy slogans demon strated in the streets for Arose mena. A mob tried to invade the U.S. Consulate in Guayaquil, Ecuador's largest city and major port, to lynch former Mayor Pedro Men endez Gilbert, who had taken refuge there after rioting Tues day. Police rushed up and scat tered the mob before it could get into the building. The Mexican government an nounced that Velasco Ibarra, now a refugee in the Mexican Ejnbas sy here, will fly to Mexico City as soon as the new Quito gov ernment grants him safe con duct. Four times elected presi dent, he has finished out his term only once. Dr. King Calls Emancipation PORTLAND (AP) President Kennedy should isue a second Emancipation Proclamation.

(News-Review photo) Eisenhower Accepts New Job Offered By Kennedy WASHINGTON (AP)-President Kennedy has asked former Presi dent Dwight D. Eisenhower to head a revamped "people-to-people" organization. Eisenhower says he will be delighted to serve. The announcement that Ken nedy had enlisted his predeces sor's services for the first time was made by Kennedy at his news conference Wednesday. The President's statement In cluded a cordial reference to Ei senhower, who just recently was coupling his support for Republi can candidates in several elec tions with jabs at aspects of the Kennedy administration's record. The people-to-people program was conceived by Eisenhower in 1906 as a vast effort to establish closer personal contacts between Americans of all occupations and interests and their opposite num bers in countries all over the world. That year an organization was formed to carry out the program. It was dissolved in June 1958, but the United States Information Agency was to help its various committees to continue function ing. US1A continues to administer the program. Eisenhower issued a statement at Gettysburg, Pa., saying he Med ford May Get New Post Office WASHINGTON (AP) - The General Services Administration announced plans Wednesday for acquiring a site for a new post office and federal building at Medford, Ore. The site selected, GSA said, is a block bounded by West 8th, Holly, West 9th and Ivy streets. An adjoining plot south of the block is to be acquired for gov ernment vehicles parking, the GSA said. The present plan is to erect the building in an area the city is proposing to develop as a civic center, including the Jackson County Courthouse, the Public Library, and West Side Park. For Second Proclamation forms of resistance to segrega tion. "In the days of guided missiles. it is no longer a choice between non-violence or violence." he said. "It is a choice between non-vio-lence or non-existence." I He said the end of segregation must be brought about by legis lation, education, and non-violent protests by the Negro. "There is need for both educa tion and legislation." said King. "It may be true that morality can't be legislated, but behavior can be regulated. Legislation can't make man love me. but it can stop him from lynching me. As an example of the success of non-violent direct action. King said lunch counters in 150 cities uere desegregated in less than a year by sit-ins of Southern stu dents. He expressed the opinion that the recent Freedom Rides were responsible for the Interstate Commerce Commission ruling which forbids all forms of racial discrimination in interstate traol. Americans must get rid of the notion that there are superior and inferior races. King said. "I'm convinced that segrega tion is as dead as a doornail." he aid. "The only thing I'm uncer tain about is the day of its buna!." - i would go to Kansas City to dis cuss the program. The new or ganization has been incorporated as a nonprofit corporation under the laws of Missouri, with head quarters in Kansas City. The new organization, USIA said, was made possible through financial and othe.- assistance pro vided by Hallmark foundation. Neptune Crash Claims Eleven BRUNSWICK, Maine (AP) eleven navy men were killed Wednesday when their Brunswick based Neptune bomber plunged into the ocean 100 miles off the Virginia Capes. The plane, designated PV2, a two-engine, long-range bomber, was taking part in an antisub marine training mission with the carrier Lake Champlain. Hours after contact was lost with the plane, two bodies and two life rafts and other bits of wreckage were recovered and were taken aboard the carrier. One of the rafts was inflated. The Brunswick base reported the plane took off at 8 p.m. Tues day for the mission, carrying fuel for 14 hours in tne air. A wide ocean search started with Navy and Coast Guard ships and planes when the Neptune failed to return. The Brunswick Naval Air Sta tion said Lt. Cmdr. Phillip S. Cal lihan, 36, of Memphis, Tenn., was the pilot and commander on the bomber. Others aboard were: Lt. (j.g.) Robert J. Miller, 23, New Hyde Park, N. Y. Lt. (j.g.) William G. McLane, 22, Lake Placid.

Military WASHINGTON (AP) Presi dent Kennedy says the United States packs military power sec ond to none in the world and won't be fooled by the Soviets into losing this strength. To maintain the U. S. position, he proposes: To seek additional money for de fense next year. To keep a steady eye on U.S. strength, intelligence and commit ments in relation to the capabilit ies of its adversaries. To get ready for nuclear tests in the atmosphere and to conduct them if necessary. It was in connection with nu clear test readiness that Kennedv declared Wednesday the United States is determined not to be man euvered out of a position of pow er, lie reminded his news confer ence that the Soviet Union pre pared for its current series of nu clear blasts while discussing a test ban over Uie conference table. I "If they fooled us once, it is their fault," Kennedy said, "and; if they fool us twice, it is our fault." I Kennedy, who previously had signaled a rise in military expend itures, did not say how much he would ask Congress to appropriate next year. The 1961-62 defense budget, increased $6 billion since he took oifice in January, is about $47 billion. This was Kennedy's 18th presi dential news conference his first in nearly a month. It ran for about a half hour and was light ened by flashes of humor. While it produced nothing especially new. it gave the President a chance to express his views on many things from military power to recent Democratic triumphs at the polk. He is reluctant, Kennedy said. to predict future results on the basis of past elections. But had Mayor Robert F. Wagner of New York, Gov.-elect Richard J. Hughes of New Jersey and Rep. elect Henry B. Gonzales uf Texas lost he said, "it would have been interpreted as a stunning setback for this administration." So he said he would break his rule and say their victories were a "source of satisfaction to us" and indicate the voters believe both the candi dates and the Democratic party are committed to progress. With a smile, he added: "I sup pose some day we will lose and I will have to eat those words." Paige Resigns Post With Juvenile Office Robert G.

Divergence of views may be re flected in the communique to be issued by the White House after a farewell call from the Indian neu tralist in midafternoon. Earlier, Nehru speaks at the National Press Club. Areas of differences between the two leaders included these: Nuclear testing: Nehru wants i voluntary moratorium resumed; Kennedy will not commit the Unit ed States to a second moratorium with the Soviet Union. Summit: Nehru has urged So viet Premier Khrushchev and Kennedy to meet again to avert the threat of a nuclear war; Ken nedy said he has "no plans" for a summit meeting. South Viet Nam: Nehru is op posed to any introduction of U.S. forces on the grounds it would only worsen matters; Kennedy said he would carefully review the situation and consult with the Viet Nam government before de ciding what steps are needed to bolster its fight against Commu nist guerrillas. Rocket Plane Sets New Speed Record EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE. Calif.

Viet Nam Rebs Ambush Bishop SAIGON, South Viet Nam (AP) Communist rebels ambushed a Roman Catholic bishop, killed a provincial district chief and his wife and beheaded their children new incidents in South Viet Nam's mounting civil war, the government said today. The bishop was rescued unhurt by a passing military convoy in the ambush Wednesday in the southern delta region. Ambushes are a standard tactic by Viet Cong rebels as they fight with mounting strength against the government of President Ngo Dinh Diem. A Catholic priest and two com panions were ambushed and slain Nov. 2 in the same general area. The Communist Viet Cong has become increasingly hostile to the Catholic clergy as South Viet Nam'i civil war grows more in tense. Earlier this year i car carrying two nuns was ambushed west of Saigon and one of the nuns was killed. Russ Trawlers Near Cape Cod CHATHAM. Mass.

(AP) - The NS (for nuclear ship) Savannah, slick and slim, is in its Delaware River slip today just days away, or maybe only a few hours, from hav ing its concrete-circled boiler load ed with radioactive fuel. This white-painted vessel is the world's first nuclear merchant shm a $45 million U. S. experiment. Today was "rehearsal day" for the atomic technicians at the big New York Shipbuilding Corp. yards where the Savannah was bom. in 1957, and built. They went through the motions of filling the pressur ized water reactor regarded ai the world's most advanced atomic power plant with the hot fuel that 1 simulated loading- tmeraiinn Sometimn In th nvt m Hnv the date is secret the real stuff will be loaded.

Intricate Boiler The reactor to the Savannah actually nothing but an intricate boiler is the same basic type that since 1853 has powered the world s first nuclear submarine, the USS Nautilus. But it has some new designs that makes the Savannah power! plant different from any others. The task of firing the reactor is a tricky, dangerous business. Ex traordinary aafeguards must be taken. A spokesman says the 22,000- ton, 595-foot Savannah will remain tied up here for possibly three months while Uie reactor is check ed and double-checked. Then Uie sea trials will begin. The vessel will be operated bv the United States Lines of New York and will be captained by Gas ton R. DeGroote, 56, from Hunt ington, N. Y. It will carry a cargo load of 10,000 tons plus 60 passen gers and a crew of 110. It is expected that the hot atoms produced by the uranium encased in some 1M stainless steel rods in the reactor core will produce pow er for 3'j years before refueling is necessary.

(AP) Sev. enty-four young Army draftee and volunteers, en route to begin training only hours after taking their service oaths, perished in Uie fiery crash of a chartered plane near here Wednesday night; Three of the five crew member died also. The big four-engine Imperial Airlines Constellation was striv ing desperately to reach the safe ty of Byrd Airport with two en gines out. It made one unsuccess ful pass at the field and circled for another try. Suddenly, an airport observer reported, the plane "dropped straight down. A ball of fire shot up. It must have cone 300 feet in the air." Explosions echoed through the cold, starry night as rescuers raced to Uie scene in a marshy woodland. It was 9:24 p.m. The crash was the second unnl single commercial plane disaster in the United States. The record toll for a single plane occurred Sept. 1 when a Trans World Air lines Constellation plunged into a vuiiuiciu near inicago, Killing ad 78 aboard. If regarded as a milifarv flioht disaster, the crash here also would rank as Uie second worst in the country involving one plane. In 1952, 87 men lost their lives In a takeoff accident of an Air Force C124 at Larson Air Force Base in Washington state. Only a few hours before, most of the young Army recruits had been in a gay mood as they boarded the aircraft in New Jer sey, Pennsylvania and Maryland on their way to basic training at Ft. Jackson. S.C. For various reasons, six of them were not inducted and re turned home, missing death by a wmm oi tate. One Is Joseph Niland. 23. Clif ton, N.J., who would have been on Uie plane. But he received a traffic ticket a year ago. When he reported for induction he said the Army told mm to go back home, have the ucket cleared and then he would be recalled. . Only the pilot and flight engi neer of the plane survived the crash. Their aocouiHe of events leading up to the crash was not immediately available. Neither was critically hurt However, federal authorities said the aircraft developed engine trouble about 10 miles west of Richmond and headed for an emergency landing at Byrd Field, just east of the city. The authori ties said Uie first landing attempt was thwarted by landing gear dif ficulties. Today there began the grim task of trying to identify the charred and broken bodies of Uie 77 victims.

The fund for deaths and injury will contain $440,000. The property damage fund will total $729,265. A special effort was made to give more importance to death and in jury claims than to property dam age. As a result, although death and injury claims are about a sev enth of total claims, Uie death and injury fund contains five twelfths of the total amount avail able for payment. If the court approves Uie settle ment procedure, the nest step will be to determine how much each claimant receives from these two funds. This will be done through two persons appointed oy the court.
