K Invitation
To Brandt
Peps Election
- BERLIN MV-Nikita Khrush
cnev's invitation to Mayor Willy
Brandt to talk with him has
given West Berlin's dull city
election campaign a lively issue.
Both Brandt's Socialists and
the opposition Christian Demo
crats are going to try to make
political capital out of it.
' The Soviet leader invited
Brandt Thursday to cross the
Berlin wall for a talk on the
future of the cold war outpost
city. Brandt turned him down,
at least for the moment, "with
great regret."
' Brandt's refusal was forced
by the Christian Democrats, the
junior partners in the coalition
that rules the city. The mayor
said that neither the Western
occupation authorities nor West
. German Chancellor Konrad Ad
enauer objected to his meeting
Khrushchev.
. "I had the impression,"
Brandt told a news conference,
"that I made a decision against
;omething which objectively I
; consider necessary."
; Now he will tell the voters
; that the Christian Democrats
forced him to miss a chance to
i make it easier for West Berlin'
I crs to cross the wall for visits
; to friends and relatives in the
; East.
; The Christian Democrats will
.argue that it was 'wrong of
Brandt to even consider talks
with Khrushchev if only be
cause it would enable the Com
imunists to say that he was al
.'rcady acting like the head of a
;"frce city of West Berlin." The
;Wcst has emphatically rejected
;tho Communist idea of such a
;"free city."
j' West Berlin's voters go to
-the polls Feb. 17 to elect the
.city's 133-mcmbcr house of rep
resentatives. Brandt's Socialists
tare expected to retain their ma
jority without difficulty. But
; they probably will want to con
tinue their teamwork with the
' Christian Democrats to show
.'that West Bcrlincrs, regardless
! of party, agree on a basic pulicy
;of loyalty to West Germany
; and opposition to the Commu
- hist rule that surrounds them.

Bourguiba told a crowd of

severely controlled.
lie said his government Is
ready to "resume our relations
K with Algeria but mutual respect
and sincerity should bo estab
lished." Bourguiba asserted that some
. members of the Algerian gov

the policies of Premier Ahmed
: Ben Bella.
"Not all members of the Al-
- Kenan government were in
- volved," Bourbuiba said. "Most
of them criticize the policy of
Ben Bella toward us.
"It is surprising and paradoxl
ral to see Algeria as soon as it
became independent, thanks to
the aid given by Tunisia bo-
como a residence for the crim-
, inals and platters against the

Turkey
Eyed
shift was reported in the works
with U.S.-built Jupiter rockets In
by Polaris missiles at sea,
developed has been spelled out
summer the Defense Department
Jupiter missiles was contemolated,
Nikita S. Khrushchev that the
Turkish bases be dismantled in
return for Russia's withdrawing
missiles from Cuba.
It is apparent, however, that
plans for "modernizing" NATO
weapons have been discussed
and that the Jupiters in north
ern Italy and near the Turkish
Black Sea coast likely will be
casualties.
Fanfanl Stirs Thinking
There are 30 Jupiters in Italy
and 13 In Turkey.
Latest thinking came to the
surface during the visit here
this week of Italian Premier
Amintore Fanfani. The Italian
leader himself bespoke "the
most serious consideration" of
the Nassau pact envisioning a
submarine-based Polaris force
under some kind of still unsDec-
liiea NATO control.
All U. S. officials said was
that modernization of weapons
systems was a matter of con
tinuing concern to NATO and
it could be "assumed that the
subject of modernization is be
ing discussed with tho Italians."
It was made clear unofficially
that the matter of withdrawing
the Jupiter missiles from Italy
and deploying Polaris subma
rines' in the Mediterranean was
part of the modernization proc
ess under discussion. .
There were intimations that
similar arrangement at the
other end of the Mediterranean
would be discussed.
How either Italy or Turkey
would participate in a subma
rine force has not been ex
plained. They have an equal
say with America on the launch-,
ing of Jupiter missiles on their
territory.
Nine Subs Afloat
Tho U. S. Navy now has nine
Polaris submarines afloat and
soon will begin to organize a
second squadron to comprise
nine subs, which it may deploy
in the Mediterranean and base
at tho huge U.S. naval facility
at Kola, Spain, if suitable ar
rangements are worked out with
Madrid.
The Jupiter missile and the
Thor, which is being disman
tled in England, are the only
major weapons that America
has developed and supplied to
foreign powers but not de
ployed itself.
Sixty Thors, which like the
Jupiter have a 1,500-mile range,
were sent to England under a
1957 agreement between Presi
dent Eisenhower and Prime
Minister Macmillan.
Tho Jupiters were Installed
in Turkey and Italy under a
post-Sputnik agreement in 1957
when NATO determined to bol
ster its strength in the face of
Russian rocket advances.
The Polaris is regarded here
as much less vulnerable than
the above ground, liquid-fueled
Thors and Jupiters. It fits a
seeming Kennedy administra
tion concept that a portion at
least of the NATO deterrent
should be kept at sea.

X15 Flight
Proves New
Control Idea
EDWARDS AFB, Calif. (UPD
Chief space agency pilot Joe
Walker shot the X15 rocket ship
51 miles into space Thursday in
the second highest flight ever
made by a winged aircraft.
Walker's flight to 270,000 feet
was only nine miles below the
XISs world airplane altitude
record of nearly 60 miles, set
last year by Air Force Major
Bob White.
His near-record climb also
virtually proved a new method
of gaining more control for re
entry from space by removing
the X15's lower tail fin.
"It was a major step toward
much higher flights into space."
the veteran research pilot said
after streaking the "manned
missile" 3,716 miles an hour
more than a mile a second.
The previous second highest
mark was nearly 47 miles, held
by Walker and White. Walker
also is the world's fastest fly
ing aircraft pilot, having flashed
the X15 to a record 4,195 m.p.h.
During Thursday's soaring
flight Walker experienced
weightlessness for two to three
minutes as the X15 shot "over
the top" in a ballistic arc. His
body also was subjected to five
times the force of gravity.
The test was the most ad
vanced to dale in a series to
confirm the belief of space sci
entists that elimination of the
lower tail fin provides greater
stability for returning from
space. The lower fin, one of
four at the ship's tail, was de
signed, ironically, to increase
stability.

From Cuba
Back to U.S.
Even while the airliner's car
go of medicines was swiftly un
loaded and rushed off in Soviet-built
trucks, the American
repatriates moved through im
migration checkpoints.
By 10 a.m. (EST), Swiss dip
lomats said 64 had been cleared.
They clustered around the big
Douglas aircraft waiting to
climb aboard.
Swiss Ambassador Emil Sta
dclhofer, who handles U.S. in
tresls in Cuba, was on hand. On
the Cuban side were two offi
cials in military uniforms to
check the papers of the home
ward-bound Americans.
The departing group included
men, women and children.
Some wore their Sunday best,
others sports clothes. All were
traveling light, usually carrying
only one piece of luggage. Un
der Cuban law they can take
only three or four changes of
clothing and if they are the
last immediate members of a
family leaving all real estate
and automobiles they own in
Cuba must be forfeited to the
state.
Swiss diplomats said they pay
only normal passport fees
amounting to 3 pesos, 22 cents
($3.22 at official rate). The
American Red Cross is to pay
their fare.
The Swiss said so far there
have been no arrangements for
making use of the U.S. freighter

already moving toward the
Tshilombe River about 20 miles
from Kolwezi, ready for the sig
nal to move into the vital min
ing industrial area 150 miles
northwest of Elisabethville.
Tshombe said he would order
his gendarmes in Kolwezi not to
resist U.N, troops and to dis
mantle the explosives they had
planted in the refining plants of
the Union Miniere Co., along
the big hydroelectric dam and
under bridges.
The Katangan leader told
newsmen earlier all orders to
blow up Kolwezi installations
had been suspended. His
scorched-Earth threat had pre
vented U.N. forces from march
ing on the mining center.
The United Nations in turn
agreed to protect the Katanga
gendarmes and not treat them
as prisoners of war. They will
be permitted to keep their uni
forms and Tshombe will be al
lowed a personal bodyguard of
gendarmerie.
The Tshombe-U.N. agreement,
as announced over Katanga Ra
dio, specified that:
Tshombe will take all neces
sary measures to insure that
U.N. entry "shall take place
peacefully with the cooperation
of all concerned, including the
gendarmerie and local authori
ties." The United Nations will com
plete its peaceful entry into
Kolwezi by Jan. 21.
Until completion of arrange
ments for integration of the
gendarmerie into the Congolese
national army in accordance
with Secretary-General U Thant's
unification plan, the United Na
tions will assure the security of
the gendarmes.

U.S. Income
Scales Peak
During 1962
Exceeds 1961 Total
By $24 Billion
WASHINGTON W Personal
income boosted by a big jump
in wages and salaries, reached
a peak of $440.5 billion in 1962,
the government reported Fri
day. The record total exceeded
1961 income by $24 billion.
The Commerce Department
said that with individual income
and -Other personal taxes up $5
billion, receipts available for
spending and saving increased
5 per cent to $383 billion. And
this, it said, was almost entirely
a genuine pocketbook increase
as consumer prices rose about
1 per cent.
Wages and salaries jumped
$17 billion, or 6 per cent over
1961, to $295.8 billion. Manu
facturing payrolls advanced $6
billion to $93.6 billion.
Recession Recovery
The department attributed
most of the increase to recovery
from the 1960-61 recession.
In non-manufacturing indus
tries, payrolls increased $6.2 bil
lion to $122.5 billion. Govern
ment employes at all levels re
ceived $56.2 billion, up $4.4 bil
lion over 1961.
Income from such sources as
unemployment insurance and
Social Security benefits in
creased about $1 billion to $34.6
billion. Dividends climbed al
most $1 billion to $15.9 billion.
Personal interest payments to
taled $29.7 billion, an increase
of $2.3 billion.
The government reported
Thursday factory workers
wound up 1962 at the highest
level of hourly and weekly earn
ings in history.
Small Gains
Harold Goldstein, assistant
labor statistics commissioner,
told a news conference, how
ever, tne ligures represented
only small pay gains over tne
calendar year and amounted to
no .ncrease in real earnings
when balanced against 1962 liv
ing cost increases.
Goldstein and a panel of labor
statistics experts reported that
average hourly factory worker
earnings were $2.42 in Decem
ber, a record but only a penny
higher than the weekly earning
figure in November and only
four cents higher than the $2.38
average in December 1961, The
average factory work week in
creased slightly to 40.5 hours in
December from 40.4 hours 'in
November.
Goldstein said the over-all job
picture improved considerably
in the first half of 1962 but then
leveled off and failed to improve
during the second half of the
year.

National Problem
Land Fraud Probe
Hinted by Senator
WASHINGTON (UPD Sen. Pat
McNamara, D-Mich., said Friday
there may be a full-scale Senate
investigation into land frauds
that he said have fleeced elderly
people of millions of dollars.
McNamara, chairman of the
Special Committee on Aging,
said after a three-day hearing
into quackery as it affects the
aged uncovered such widespread
abuses, that the committee
planned further investigations.
He said one aspect that need
ed exploring further was the
sale of submarginal land, par
ticularly in Western states, to
retired people through mislead
ing advertising.
Sen. Barry Goldwater, R-Ariz.,
said violations involving Ari
zona land had been particularly
flagrant and the committee
should call land promoters to
testify.
Federal Trade Commission
Chairman Paul Rand Dixon told
the committee Thursday that
the FTC was investigating ad
vertising that has led retired
people to put their life savings
into worthless lots.
Dixon said the problem was
of national concern.
Much of the promotional lit
erature is "highly deceptive"
because it does not give full de
tails and contains "actual mis
representations," he said.
"There are unscrupulous op
erators attempting to capitalize
on the desire of all to have a
plot of land where they may
spend their later years in con
tentment," Dixon said.
Dr. Ethel Percy Andrus, pres
ident of the National Assn. of
Retired Persons, told the com
mittee that many elderly per
sons remain so convinced of,

Ship Berthed
At Portland :
PORTLAND W) The Mult
nomah County Central Labor
Council has approved a resolu
tion calling for berthing of the
battleship Missouri in the Will
amette River at Portland.
The council said the mighty
Mo would replace the old bat
tleship Oregon, which was
scrapped to help win World
War II. ;
The resolution asks the Ore
gon congressional delegation to
begin work immediately to have
the ship brought here from the
Bremerton Navy Yard. The
peace treaty with Japan, ending
World War II, was signed on
the decks of the ship, which now
is berthed at Bremerton in
Washington State.
. Former President Harry S.
Truman recently criticized hav
ing the ship "closeted" there.
He proposed it be moved to
San Francisco or Brooklyn. The
Navy has announced it has no
plans for moving the historic
ship.
