BULLETIN
BONN (UPI)-Atty. Gen. Rob
ert F. Kennedy flew heie from
West Berlin today and conferred
privately with Chancellor Konrad
Adenauer for 90 minutes. Kennedy
said later they agreed on all mat
ters including handling of Premier
Nikita Khrushchev's demand for
summit talks.
The attorney general announced
the accord with Adenauer shortly
after it was disclosed in Washing
ton that President Kennedy had
rejected Khrushchev's new bid for
a summit conference to open the
18-nation disarmament meeting in
Geneva.
At a news conference after his
meeting and lunch with Adenauer
who is exactly 50 years his
senior Kennedy refused to go into
detail on their talks. But he did
describe them as "very helpful."
Certain of Wosfs Success
The attorney general, assuring
West Germans that "we shall pre
vail," arrived here with his wife,
Ethel, and his younger brother,
Edward, from Berlin and then
flew by helicopter from Bonn air
port to a soccer field adjoining
the nation's capitol.
They then drove to Adenauer's
official residence. Kennedy and
the chancellor had scheduled one
hour for their private talk but
they remained in Adenauer's office
far longer, throwing off the rest
of the day's schedule.
Justice Ministry State Secretary
Walther Strauss, one of those pres
ent at the lunch that followed, told
reporters that "Kennedy was sim
ply felled by the old man's
charm."
During the lunch, Kennedy later
told reporters: "Adenauer said,
and I agree, that the United
States and Germany are in full
accord on all matters."
Agreement About Summit
Asked if that meant they also
agreed fully on dealing with Khru
shchev's summit demands. Ken
nedy replied quietly: "On all mat
ters, including that."'
Kennedy repeated his promise of
Friday night that "we will con
tinue to fly to Berlin" regardless
of Soviet interference in the Al
lied air corridors. But he said
that "they might have to be mili
tary flights."
JFK relaxes
with family
in Florida
PALM BEACH, Fla. (UPI) -President
Kennedy, his agenda ap
parently clear for the day, relaxed
with his family today at a bor
rowed ocean-front mansion and
visited with his father.
The elder Kennedy is convales
cing at the family mansion from
a paralytic stroke suffered last
Dec. 19. The President and Mrs.
Kennedy accepted the loan of an
other home because his parents'
residence is occupied by other
family visitors.
The President arrived at Palm
Beach Thursday afternoon and
then flew to Cape Canaveral Fri
day for the ceremonies honoring
astronaut John H. Glenn Jr. Ken
nedy later returned to this resort
about 125 miles down the Florida
coast from the missile base.
Vice President Lyndon B. John
son, who also flew here, and the
President talked at lunch Friday
about space and other matters.
Johnson stayed at Palm Beach
overnight as the guest of Mr. and
Mrs. Charles B. Wrightsman,
whose estate is just down the
ocean drive from the residence
the Kennedys have borrowed.

bid rejected
by Kennedy
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Presi
dent Kennedy, following a tele
phone conference with British
Prime Minister Harold Macmil
lan, has turned down Soviet Pre
mier Nikita Khrushchev's tough
new bid for a summit conference
to open the March disarmament
meeting in Geneva.
Officials said the President, in
a note that probably will be de
livered in Moscow today, again
urged Khrushchev to send For
eign Minister Andrei Gromyko to
Geneva instead of continuing to
demand a summit meeting.
The State Department relayed
Kennedy's latest message to the
American Embassy during the
night after the President Friday
night approved the text at his
weekend headquarters in Palm
Beach, Fla. It was expected the
text would be made public here
as soon as U.S. Ambassador
Llewellyn E. Thompson has con
firmed he has delivered it
Talks With Macmillan
A few hours before Kennedy
approved the text of the message
that rejected Khrushchev's long
and argumentative Thursday
note, he talked the situation over
with Macmillan by Transatlantic
telephone. Macmillan expressed
concern over the fact that the
State Department Thursday night
issued a public statement turning
down Khrushchev's latest bid
without first consulting London or
awaiting Soviet release of the
text.
Macmillan. who also received a
copy of the Russian proposal, was
understood to be sending his own
rejection.
Officials here discounted Lon
don reports that Macmillan was
urging "more flexibility" in deal
ing with Khrushchev's proposal.
Urges Prompt Answer
Kennedy was understood in his
new message to have urged
Khrushchev to give a prompt yes-or-no
answer to the proposal the
President and Macmillan made
Feb. 7 for holding a British-American-Soviet
foreign ministers
meeting just prior to the opening
of the 18-nation disarmament con
ference on March 14 in Geneva.
American officials said Khrush
chev's summit campaign may be
designed to try to dissuade Ken
nedy from making his announce
ment, expected next week, that
the United States is going to re
sume nuclear testing in the at
mosphere. Khrushchev may be preparing,
they added, to torpedo the disar
mament meeting if Kennedy, as
expected, announces the resump
tion of atmospheric tests.
In any event, the Khrushchev
propaganda approach has
dimmed hopes among western of
ficials for any real progress on
disarmament at Geneva.

Mystery surrounds
Castro whereabouts
HAVANA (UPI) An unex
plained two-week absence of Pre
mier Fidel Castro from public
view was the biggest subject of
speculation today among the Cu
ban public.
The mystery was compounded
by the failure of Castro to show
up for an official function Friday
night in spite of assurances by
the official Cuban television net
work.
Castro was last seen in public
Feb. 12. He attended the opening
of the National Circut with Bra

it will be permanent.

session of Congress and receive
the capital's applause.
The following day he will ap
pear before congressional space
committees to discuss the tliree-

made American space history.
Later in the week, he is to take
part with the other astronauts in
an enormous ticker tape parade
in New York City, just as Charles
A. Lindbergh did when he estab
lished another milestone in 1927
by flying Hie Atlantic.
And these appearances are only
the beginning for the modest, 40-year-old
redhead who told Presi
dent Kennedy two weeks ago that
he felt too much attention was
being paid to him and not enough
to the scientific aspects of Proj
ect Mercury.
Kennedy himself tried to put
Glenn at ease on this score dur
ing Friday's hectic ceremonies on
the Cape. Referring to Glenn's
protest against the publicity in
volving himself, the President
said:
"My own feeling is that both
are equally important, in the
sense that we are proud of this
trip because of its scientific
achievement and we are also
proud of it because of the men
and women that are involved in
it Our boosters may not be as
large as some others, but the
men and women are."
Ill At Ease One
During a long press conference
Friday afternoon. Glenn seemed
ill at ease only when space agen
cy officials were discussing their
future plans for him.
James E. Webb, head of the
National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA), said that
Glenn would be more in the pub
lic view than was the case with
sub-orbital astronauts Alan B.
Shepard Jr. and Virgil (Gus)
Gnssom.
Webb also did not rule out over
seas trips for Glenn, although he
did not say specifically that they
would be made. The subject came
up when a reporter asked Glenn
whether he would object to mak
ing such tours, as did Soviet cos
monaut Yuri Gagarin.
After his orbital flight, Gagarin
became a powerful propaganda,
weapon for the Russians.
Glenn declined to answer the
question. He said no such trips
were planned, but with a vague
ly troubled look on his face, add
ed that many decisions on this
still had to be made.

Moves taken
to block any
revolt action
PARIS (UPI) President
Charles de Gaulle today com
pleted secret talks with France's
top military commanders that ap
parently mapped strategy to com
bat a possible rightist revolt when
the Algerian cease-fire is pro
claimed. De Gaulle met this morning
with commanders of the naval and
air regions and of the fleet and
tactical war forces. He met Fri
day1 with his National Defense
Council and commanding generals
of all French military regions.
A brief communique stated
merely that "all reported on prob
lems of their respective com
mands." Possible Violence
But informed sources said they
assumed De Gaulle told the gen
erals and admirals of heavy se
curity measures against possible
major violence in Algeria and
France when a cease-fire is
announced.
The cease-fire Is expected with
in a week. The French govern
ment already has approved the
terms of the French-Algerian reb
el provisional government, and in
dicated the Algerians may approve
the terms of the agreement this
weekend, with the cease-fire an
nouncement coming shortly there-
alter.
'The rebels' National Council
(CNR A) is meeting in Tripoli,
Libya, to discuss the terms. Ob
servers said the meeting would
last at least until Sunday night
There was no report on the meet
ing, but Tunis sources were op
timistic. De Gaulle met Friday with the
commanding generals of France's
nine military regions. Attending
tins morning s session were three
admirals and four air force gen
erals. No Explanation
There was no government ex
planation of the meetings. But it
was assumed De Gaulle was
planning security measures
against a possible insurrection by
Secret Army Organization (OAS)
extremists who have vowed to
keep Algeria French. Any cease
fire would be followed by steps
leading toward Algerian inde
pendence and Arab rule.
There was no indication of what
security moves De Gaulle had hi
mind. But French newspapers
said the president might resume
the near-dictatorial powers he
took after the generals' revolt in
Algiers last ApnL He surrendered
the powers five months later, but
under the French constitution, he
can assume them again.
Sunday Heart
drive postponed
Due to weather conditions, the
Heart Sunday drive for contribu
tions planned for tomorrow, has
been postponed for a week.
Volunteers who planned to
make the home to home campaign
Sunday were being advised that
the project would be rescheduled
for March 4. Awarding of a TV
set to a heart fund contributor
will be delayed a week also.
A public meeting scheduled for
8 p.m. tonight at the Episcopal
church auditorium will still be
held by the Deschutes County

favor use of Inmates on some

prison labor also means the

meeting here Friday to demand
public works projects and emer

Mayor Terry Schrunk granted
them an unscheduled hearing, but
became angered when Robert
Driscoll, a spokesman for the
group, threatened action outside
legal channels.
Schrunk accused Driscoll o!
being responsible for some of the
picket line violence in the Port

him, "you're advocating the same)
thing right here, or very close to
it."
Driscoll, an engineer, was fired
from the city's public works bu
