'Samaritans With Wings1 Ncme
For U. S. Air Force In Europe

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).

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.
This is the story of Stanley
Withers. After losing his third job
in five years, his wife decides it
is time she took a hand. 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.

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.
Taxes: The House Ways 4:
Means Committee confirmed an
earlier decision to deny motorists
the right to claim federal tax de
ductions for state and local taxes
on gasoline. The group also reaf
firmed a decision to exclude from
itemized tax deductions state and
local taxes on liquor and cigarettes.
in Paris, did not disappoint her
fans, including the many French
women who follow only her style.
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.
