Plans to close military bases
brings barrage of protests
Mercury skids in Plains
By United Press International
Temperatures skidded toward
zero across the Northern Plains
today and 45 mile an hour
winds whipped snow into drifts
in the Dakotas.
Near-blizzard conditions were
expected in parts of Minnesota
and western Wisconsin but the
weather bureau said the mas
sive storm which churned down
. from the Rockies last weekend
was beginning to blow itself out.
Blizzard warnings were with
drawn for the North and Cen
tral Plains and upper Midwest.
The storm still sent heavy
rains across the Southland. Tal
lahassee, Fla., reported 1.26
inches during the night. Up to
one inch fell In sections of Lou
isiana, Mississippi and Ala
bama.
About an inch or two of fresh
snow fell Thursday night in
Kansas but the rest of the
snowbelt showed only a trace
of precipitation.
The U.S. Army Engineers
said today that Lake Michigan
and Lake Huron had equalled
all-time low levels for Decem
ber set in 1933. The weather bu
reau blamed the severe drought
this fall for causing many riv
ers in Missouri and Illinois to
approach record low levels.
At least 60 weather-connected
deaths were counted by United
Press International in the series
of wintry onslaughts that
reached from the northern
Rockies to Texas and eastward
to the Atlantic.
WASHINGTON (UPI) - The
Defense Department order clos
ing 33 military bases from New
York to California brought a
barrage of protests today from
Congress, including charges of
false economy.
But Defense Secretary Robert
S. McNamara indicated Thurs
day that the closing orders were
part of a new economy cam
paign that would gear savings
to spending.
Until now, that has not al
ways been the case. In the past
because of a steady buildup in
Polaris submarines and other
defense programs, the Defense
Department had to explain with
each cost reduction why spend
ing was increasing.
Nothing placated Congress,
however. Sen. Kennedy B. Keat
ing, R-N. Y., introduced a bill
to block the base closings in
economically depressed areas.
Rep. Samuel S. Stratton, D-N.Y
promised to turn the Pentagon
upside down before accepting
the cutbacks. New York stands
to lose seven installations.
Rep. Bob Wilson, R-Calif.,
said the decision to close the
San Diego naval repair facility
lacked logic in view of other
"pump-priming" programs. Wil
son said he has asked Assistant
Navy Secretary Kenneth BeLieu
to reconsider the closure on the
basis of "economic horse
sense."
Under McNamara's order, a
lotal of 33 bases would be shut
down over a three and one-half
year period. Twenty six of the
hases were in the United States.
The seven others were in three
foreign countries, but were not
identified until the governments
concerned can be informed.
In his news conference, Mc
Namara said the closings will
result in a "net loss" of 8,500
civilian jobs. It was evident,
however, that many other civil
ian workers at the bases will
have to make long distance
moves in order to keep their
.
ARS reports successful campaign against grain pesf
government jobs. In these cases
the government will pay for the
moving expenses.
McNamara talked of actual
reductions which will bring de
fense department civilian em
ployment to the lowest level in
15 years.
The increase in mili
tary spending since McNamara
took office has been from $43
billion proposed by President
Eisenhower in the last budget
he submitted to Congress, to an
estimated $51 billion for the
year ending next July 1.
Charges faced
by Eugene pair
TWIN FALLS, Idaho (UPI) -Two
Eugene, Ore., men faced
armed robbery charges today in
the holdup of a downtown Safe
way store Thursday night.
The suspects were taken into
custody Vk hours after two
young men, neatly dressed but
unshaven and needing haircuts
held up the store. They told the
dozen clerks and shoppers to
"freeze," then robbed the cash
register and escaped through a
back door to a waiting car.
Store Manager J. Robert
Loveland did not have an im
mediate estimate of the full
amount taken.
About an hour later a cab
driver who had heard of the
robbery telephoned police and
said he had delivered two "sus
picious looking" men to a local
supper club.
"LAD" RETIRES
MILTON, England (UPI)-
Mrs. Mary Dobhie, 99, said to
day she will close the black
smith shop she owns because
the "lad" she employes 80
year old Bill Foreman is retiring.
WASHINGTON (UPI) - The
Agricultural Research Service
(ARS) has announced that its
long campaign against the khap
ra beetle has resulted in eradi
cation of the world's most de
structive grain pest in the Unit
ed States and Mexico.
ARS said no established infes
tations of khapra beetles have
been found in the United States
since July 11, 1962, nor in Mex
ico since mid-1961.
But even though no beetles
now are known to exist in the
two countries, limited local in
festations may be found from
time to time. ARS said that be
cause of this possibility, control
otlicials will continue surveil
lance and surveys. During fis
cal 1963, ARS surveyed 28,000
properties in 11 Western states
and intercepted khapra beetles
225 times at U.S. borders.
The beetles first were found
in the United States in Califor
nia in 1953. Later, infestations
were discovered in Arizona,
New Mexico, and Texas, and
also in Mexico. In 1955, ARS,
the infected states, and Mexico
began a cooperative campaign
to eradicate the beetles by fu
migating all discovered infesta
tions with methyl bromide gas.
Elevators and other stored
product warehouses had to be
wrapped in gas-tight tarpaulins
before the gas could be re
leased. ARS said a single large
structure in California required
9 '-i; acres of tarpaulins and 16
tons of gas.
In carrying out the eradica
tion program, ARS discovered
677 infested properties in the
four states. It fumigated more
than 200 million cubic feet of I er rural subscribers 'as a result
infested storage areas. In Mex
ico, 92 properties involv
ing about 26 million cubic feet
were fumigated.
ARS said the beetle is ex
tremely hardy. Control workers
have found infestations in ware
houses 21 feet under solid mass
es of grain. The beetles have
been known to work their way
through a two-foot warehouse
wall.
Khapra beetle larvae have
been known to live three years
without food, ARS said. Also,
the beetles can produce 12 gen
erations a year. They attack all
grains and grain products.
The Agriculture Department
said improved telephone serv
ice will be provided for many
isolated farm families and oth-
of advancements in the use of
elec t r o n i c equipment with
buried telephone cable.
The department said electron
ic equipment now is available
for use with underground cable,
free from threat of storm dam
age. The agency said the equip
ment was developed to meet
standards set by the Rural
Electrification Administration.
IGNORES OWN WARNING
SHERMAN, Tex. (UPI)-Jack
McManus, a weather announc
er, warned viewers Wednesday
night to take precautions
against a hard freeze, then went
home to bed.
When he got up the next
morning he discovered several
water pipes in his home had
frozen and burst.
