O o bo oo 'Samaritans With Wings1 Ncme For U. S. Air Force In Europe 5 CD By WELLINGTON LONG United Press International WIESBADEN, Germany (UPI) Some Europeans call the U.S. Air Force in Europe (USAFE) "Samaritans with wings" because of the help it brings whenever disaster strikes in its area of op eration. The people of Skopje, Yugosla via, learned this week just how true that description is, as more than a score of other nations al ready" know. USAFE's main job in Europe is defense, and with today's nu clear weapons, it has the capa bility of inflicting destruction more awesome than any of the 26 disasters it has flown aid to. But this destructive power is something USAFE hopes will nev er be needed. Its relief work is on constant call. The USAFE specialties, are flood and earthquake relief, which usually require large quan tities of aid material quickly, and often need it inaccessible places. Helped 21 Countries Since USAFE started keeping track of its emergency aid op erations in January, 1953, it has been involved in helping the vic tims of ?6 disasters in 21 coun tries, and scores of other events let serious. The backbone of the disaster re lief operation is the 322nd Air Division, functioning from Ev rreux, France. House Committee Affirms Decision On Gasoline Taxes WASHINGTON (UPI) - The House Ways & Means Committee has affirmed its earlier decision to deny motorists the right to claim federal tax deductions for the state and local taxes they pay on gasoline. The committee also nailed down its decision to exclude state and local taxes on liquor and cigar ettes as a federal tax deduction. It took these and other steps calculated to produce a net gain of $605 million in new revenue as it began a final round of voting on the compromise version of Presi dent Kennedy's tax-reduction-and- revision program. The committee expects to take at least three days drafting the final version of the bill. So far the committee has ten tatively approved structural tax revisions that would ' net little more than $700 million of the S3 billion sought by Kennedy to part ly offset revenue losses from rate cuts. However, some of the commit tee's tentative tax-tightening deci sions have started to come un stuck as a result of tugging by the taxpayers who would be at-fected. For example, oilmen were re ported to have lined up enough committee voles to eliminate at least part, and possibly all, of the $50 million in annual new taxes which the group had agreed to levy on them. Kennedy had recommended more than $200 million in new taxes on the oil and gas indus try. Republican committee leaders were trying to knock out a provi sion that would deny motorists the right to include in their item ized tax deductions amounts paid in state and city gasoline taxes. This provis-fi would net $200 mil lion in annual revenue. CO C Its pot-bellied C130 "Hercules" aircraft are familiar wherever disaster strikes. The turbo-prop planes have helped relieve the distress of floods in Britain, Hol land, Syria, iraq, Germany. Iran, Jordan, Libya, Kenya, Somali land, and Morroeo, and of earth quakes in Turkey, Greece, Al geria. Morocco and Iran. USAFE was there helping the victims of the Agadir, Morocco, earthquake which took 12,000 lives in 1960 and the earthquake in Iran which took 10,000 lives in 1962. It was at the Hamburg, Germany, flood in 1962 and Hol land in 1953 when the angry sea destroyed the dikes. Helped Many Victims It has helped the victims of snow storms in Italy and Sicily. of a collapsed dam in France, avalanches in Austria, cyclones in Pakistan, and fire in Yemen. USAFE usually flies and some times air drops emergency sup plies to a stricken area a few hours after the disaster. Planes often return with refugees. Some times, as this week, USAFE flies in a whole army field hospital, with all its staff and trucks. Among the more spectacular efforts, USAFE also airlifts medi cines to prevent epidemics, and sprays wide areas against lo custs. The men of USAFE are anxious to go when the SOS comes in. The Skopje earthquake struck Friday morning. As soon as the extent of the disaster became apparent, USAFE figured out what it would and ought to do to best help, and informed the Yu goslav government this was what the Americans could do if Bel grade asked for it. Pilots Were Ready The American planes gathered at Ramstein, West Germany, one of the major nuclear bases, and loaded the army field hospital. Pilots began straining at the leash. The price sequence is uncer tain, but at one point, the lead plane took off before diplomatic clearance for the flight over Yu goslavia had been given. Remem bering the time several years ago when nervous Yugoslav gun ners knocked an American Air Force plane out of the sky, con trol officers called this plane back, and told him to land until things were straightened out. The planes, when they finally got I he go-ahead, flew directly to Belgrade, where they unloaded. The mercy convoy immediately drove south to the disaster area. The U.S. Army trucks bearing gleaming white stars were es corted by Yugoslav military po lice wearing shiny red stars. As the Americans drove past. Yugoslavs applauded and yelled "Ziveli Amerikanci" (Long Live the Americans). Library Arrivals o . 0O 00 Warm And Exciting World Is Found By Girl Who Has Lost Her Memory The loss of memory of Jane Carlyle, 10, forms the background of "The Scent of Roses," a novel by Aleen Leslie. An Exciting Year It began on a snowy nif&t ii 1908 when Jane crossed the thres hold of a large house in Pittsburgh 8jPd met the Weber family. This delightful novel is the grown-up Jane's story of the year that passed, in the warm and exciting world of the Webers, before she regained her memory. Strongly characterized are So phie, who owned the big depart ment store; and Grandma, the nickelodeon fiend who bummed rides on ragmen's carts to go to the show every day. The lively and unexpected happenings nor mal to the Webers were exciting drama to Jane: Sophie dressing as a "temptress" to shame her mother for matchmaking; Sylvest er's touching adventure with an heiress; the boarder who turned out to be a burglar; and Grand ma administering a Mickey Finn to her son to save his marriage. . Unexpectedly, and in a rush of events more chaotic than even the Webers were accustomed to, the truth emerged. Though it meant new happiness for Jane, it was good-bye to the Webers and the old Pittsburgh house, forever aft er remembered aft-) home. Inside Story The inside story of how the Kremlin took over in Cuba is told in "The Great Deception by James Monohan and Kenneth O. Gilmore. The Sovietization of Cuba did not take place overnight. It began almost immediately after Fidel Castro emerged triumphant from the Sierra Maestra in 1959, gained impetus following the arrival in Havana o Soviet Deputy Prem ier Mikoyan in 1960, and reached the critical stage in 1962 when Castro, unable to support his col lapsing economy and faced, with an increasingly rebellious popu lation, sent his brother, Raul, on a mission to Moscow. That mis sion completed the Soviet take over of Cuba, politically, militar ily and economically. An amazing amount of research has gone into this book to ex plain how this great deception was put over on seven million peo ple who were proiid individualists, predominately Catholics, who were fiercely opposed to all forms of dictatorship and totalitarian rule. A Man And A Cat A new novel, "A Likeness to Voices," by Mary Savage, is a story about a cat and a man. Sic cat is wise and clever and very, very old. The man is un wise, innocent and young.

But the methods she uses and the assist ants she employs are highly un orthodox, to say the least, result ing in a tale of modern witch craft involving one of the most talented and trouble-prone cats ever to survive 2,000 life cycles.

Chanel, called "Tile Eternal" Bob Kennedy Draws New Bitter Attack On Civil Rights WASHINGTON (UPI) Ally. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy was bitterly attacked again Wednesday by a Southern opposing the admin istration's civil rights program. Mississippi State Sen. John C. McLaurin accused Kennedy of "deliberately white-washing" al leged connections between com munism and the leaders of the Negro civil rights movements. Kennedy said last week in reply to similar charges by Southern officials that there was no evidence that any of the Ne gro integration leaders were Communist or Red-controlled. In another civil rights develop' ment, the author of a fair env ployment practices commission bill said the administration would support inclusion of the measure in its civil rights package. The statement came from Rep. James Roosevelt, D - Calif., who urged a House judiciary subcom mittee to include his proposal in the civil rights bill. Roosevelt's cleared by the Education and Labor Committee. Other congressional news: Highways: House investigators said land buying for the federal road program in Massachusetts was "honeycombed by gross in competence and downright collu sion and fraud." The charge was made by a special House highway investigating subcommittee after scrutinizing the highway program in Massachusetts. Redevelopment: President Ken nedy's area redevelopment bill, bruised by an encounter with civil rights, headed toward new trouble in the House Rules Com mittee. Rep. Howard W. Smith, D-Va., Rules Committee chair man, has served notice he will do everything he can to stop it.

While foreign buyers may flock to the other houses, it's Chanel that even Paris shopgirls copy. Her classic suit with its straight straight skirt and cardigan sweat erlike, simple jacket, the lining usually matching the blouse, is a standard item in Paris. This season the Chanel models in bangs and hair-bows did not wear droopy chain necklaces but ropes of colored beads. Another slight change was the disappear ance of the blouse with pussy cat" scarf-bow at the neckline. The 1963-64 Chanel suit blouses are collaiiess . and vertically tucked for a long look. Chanel made her new suits of Irish tweeds, including one show stopper of palest apricot yellow orange with a blouse and jacket lining the same color. One suit was belted at the waist but all others hung straight. Some had braid trimmings, some had collars and other were col larless. The collection also included one example of Chanel's usual tailor ed suit with lapels, and her dark dresses with white collars and cuffs. The coats were cne new item: Narrow and fitted at the waist, but beltless, of tweeds with fluf fy fur collars, cuffs and linings. One favorite with the audience was a pale orange-yellow tweed coat with orange fox collar worn over an orange-yellow tucked silk shirtwaist dress. Another hit was a black wool coat with black ostrich feather collar. S.
