At Children's Hospital
First Lady
Gets Roses
By FRANCES LEWINE
Of the Associated Press
NEW DELHI, India Mrs. John F. 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

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.

Joint Gagarin-Glenn Project
Suggested by Adlai in Talk

that Yuri Gagarin and John H.

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.

Indonesians,
Dutch to Talk
THE HAGUE, the Netherlands
on Indonesia and the Neth
erlands have agreed to a U.S.
proposal to hold preliminary
discussions, of disputed West
New Guinea with a neutral third
party sitting in, Dutch Premier
Jan de Quay announced Mon
day night.
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.
