Kennedy got a look Tues day at an Indian project financed by American aid, the All-India Medical Institute. She said she was delighted. Two young heart patients gave the American First Lady a bouquet of roses. Children suffering from various ailments left their beds to greet here. The medical center still is incomplete. It was built with $6 million in U.S. government aid and $828,000 from the Rockefel ler Foundation, plus other foreign assistance. Mrs. Kennedy was the guest of President Rajendra Prasad at a glittering luncheon. Tonight she switched her residence from a I borrowed bungalow to the pink Keep U.S., Reds Berlin Routes Busy BERLIN IUPD The U.S. Army completed the movement of 1, 600 troops into Berlin on the ground Tuesday while Soviet military transports flew the Al lied air corridors leading to the divided city. The last convoy bringing re placements here over the 110 mile highway through East Ger many arrived without incident The troop rotation started last Monday. Western officials said the Russians refrained from flying fighter planes in the three air lines and that there was no buzzing of Allied flights. Right of Access The last unit in the ground rotation will move out of West Berlin Wednesday to complete a transfer of 3,000 men in 500 Army vehicles that demon strated once again the Western right to access to West Berlin. Informed sources said the Russians scheduled four mili tary flights in the airlancs to coincide with those of Western aircraft Tuesday. But a spokes man for Pan American, Air France and British Overseas Airways Corp. said the com mercial lines planned to fly ac cording to their timetables. Elsewhere on the ground, West Berlin police said 11 East Germans escaped safely to the West but that 30 shots were heard near the French sector, apparently fired by Communist guards to thwart other refugees. Switch In Tactics The switch in Soviet harass ment tactics in the air corridors came when the Russian control ler in the four-power Berlin Air Safety Center announced flights at the same altitude and time as Western aircraft. Previously the Russians had tried to reservo part of the air lancs for themselves and when that failed Communist planes buzzed some Allied flights. The West has ignored all at tempts to limit its rights in the air or troop movements on the ground. Amsden Reveals Research Paper SALEM IUPD Oregon is one of only seven states in which the president of tho State Sen ate succeeds the governor in case of death or incapacitation, a research report indicated Tuesday.

The change of schedule was announced by Jay Gildncr, as sistant While House press sec retary. It reinstates one stop which had been canceled when her visit was shortened from the originally planned 17 days to nine days. 79 Luncheon Guests Prasad invited 79 guests to the luncheon, including top gov ernment officials and their wives, to meet Mrs. Kennedy and her sister, Princess Lee Radzlwill. The ailing, 77-year-old presi dent sat on the sidelines while Prime Minister Nehru escorted Mrs. Kennedy around the horseshoe-shaped line of guests. Mrs. Kennedy shook hands with everyone. She wore a cool green, sleeveless linen dress by her official designer, Olcg Cas sini, three strands of pearls and beige shoes. A white linen bow was pinned in the back of her hair. Princess Radziwill also wore green, a sleeveless1 silk print. Since the Indian government opposes the use of alcohol, no liquor was served. Silver trays of mango and grape juices were passed to the guests before luncheon. Turbaned Guardsmen Prasad led Mrs. Kennedy into the banquet hall through a cor ridor lined with turbaned presi dential guardsmen, splendid in scarlet and gold tunics and hold ing lances. Mrs. Kennedy's schedule also includes a dinner in her honor tonight given by Nehru.

Joint Gagarin-Glenn Project Suggested by Adlai in Talk WASHINGTON W Adlai E. Stevenson suggested Tuesday that Yuri Gagarin and John H. Glenn Jr., working together on some hazardous yet exhilarating space project, would help im prove U. S. -Soviet relations. Stevenson, chief U. S. dele gate to the United Nations, said the Soviet and U. S. spacemen could scarcely emerge from this experience with all the veils still drawn down. Dorothy Kirsten Rests in Hospital WEST LOS ANGELES WPI) Opera singer Dorothy Kirsten was reported in very good con dition Tuesday at UCLA Medi cal Center where she is recov ering from hepatitis. Attendants said Miss Kirsten was resting comfortably and was exeptced to be released later in the week. The illness forced Miss Kirs ten to cancel appearances in Texas, Florida, and the Metro politan Opera in New York City. She also had to cancel an engagement in the Shrine Audi torium in Los Angeles. "And if the Soviet closed soci ety opened enough so that in both societies there came to be men and women who under stand in depth the hopes and fears of their opposite numbers, we should have opened many windows to light and set many candles burning in the gloom of ignorance," Stevenson said. He made the suggestion in a speech prepared for delivery at a conference sponsored by the American Assn. for the United Nations. He declared the United States is not giving up on a break through in arms control even though the Soviets reject all of fers of a reasonable test ban treaty at Geneva and thus com pel us to resume testing.

The premier said Indonesia and the Netherlands had agreed to set no preliminary condi tions for the secret talks. Indo nesia had insisted previously that before talks began, the Netherlands had to agree to hand over administration of the territory. De Quay told newsmen that despite the movement toward the bargaining table, "I cannot conceal that we are seriously concerned about some of the In donesian speeches and the sharp language used in them." President Sukarno has put In donesia on a virtual war foot ing and declared Indonesia must have West New Guinea by the end of the year, by force if necessary. U.S. Training Thai Troops For Possible Guerrilla War WASHINGTON Lfl U.S. mili tary advisers have started train ing Thailand's army to fight Communist guerrillas, apparent ly in anticipation that Thailand may be the next target of the Red drive to control Southeast Asia, informed sources said Tuesday. Although there have been no reports of significant Commu nist guerrilla activity in Thai land, officials of the pro-Western Bangkok government have been increasingly concerned they may face such a threat if a Communist-leaning (neutral ist) regime takes over neighbor ing Laos. Laos has been a staging area and an avenue for Communist North Vietnamese irregulars trying to topple the anti-Communist government of South Viet Nam. Pro-Communist forces in Laos have operated close to the Thai border. A Possible Clue The United States last week formally promised to come to Thailand's aid in event of Red Court of Appeals Issues Stay of Sentence for Editor WASHINGTON UV-The sen tence of James E. Jackson, edi tor of the Worker, was staying by the U. S. Court of Appeals moments before he was to begin serving six months in jail for refusing to answer questions of a grand jury investigating Com munst party activities. The stay in effect until fur ther order from the court was issued Monday after Joseph For er, Jackson's lawyer, argued the grand jury was infringing on freedom of the press by ques tioning Jackson about the edi torial policies of The Worker. Forer also contended Jackson should remain free because, he said, the government had failed to show that his client's refusal to testify involved any danger to national security. U. S. Atty. David C. Acheson said the grand jury inquiry made no attempt to interfere with the paper's editorial con tent. The questions, he said, were relevant to the jury s in vestigation of possible violations of the Internal Security Act. Acheson said the government, seeking to enforce the law which requires Communist publica tions to be labeled as such, has a right to inquire into whether the paper was controlled by the party. The Worker has never been officially identified as a Com munist publication. Goldwater in Line For Another Star WASHINGTON OB President Kennedy has sent to the Senate a routine promotion for Sen. Barry Goldwater, R-Ariz., to the rank of major general in the Air Force Reserve. Goldwater, a World War II ferry command pilot, heads an Air Force Reserve unit made up of members of Congress and staff assistants with Reserve commissions. Goldwater has qualified for piloting latest types of military jets. aggression, regardless of what other members of the anti-Communist Southeast Asia Treaty Organization may do. A possible clue to a quicken ing U.S. effort to bolster Thai land against any Communist of fense came in Monday's an nouncement that Army Maj. Gen. Theodore J. Conway is being sent there in July to assume command of the U.S. Military Assistance Group. Conway, 52, is leaving the command of the 82nd Airborne Division, one of the Army's crack outfits. No headquarters bound soldier, he recently was the first paratrooper to leap from a transport plane in an airdrop exercise by troops of the 82nd in Panama. . Conway, who was senior ad visor to Korea's First Army several years ago, will replace Army Maj. Gen. Briard P. John son. In recent years, Johnson's work has been in the field of logistics and administration. About 219 Advisors There was no indication of any immediate increase in the military aid program in Thai land. This year, it totaled $58, 594,000 somewhat more than one-third of that being applied in South Viet Nam where the Communist danger has been critical for some time. The United States has about 219 military advisers working with Thailand's forces which total about 100,000 men, mostly in the army. The United States has sup plied Thailand with light tanks, howitzers, rifles and machine guns, trucks, personnel carriers, a few transport planes, a num- I ber of F84 and F86 jet fighters, and some patrol vessels. confidentially We LOVE to Loan! mm M Buying or building a home?
