the operation was carried out
solely to reueve me rung a

Big sum lost
on missile
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Gov
ernment auditors say U.S. tax
payers lost S300 million in the
purchase of a missile which the
Army considered unreuaoie.
The General Accounting Of
fice (GAO), the government's
watchdog of spending on every
thine from rockets to paper
clips, refused to give any de
tails of the missile including its
name.
But. In an "unclassified sum
mary" to Congress, it said the
missile was "an unsatisfactory
weapon" because it could not
do the job it was designed for
nor was it suitable for use by
the Armv.
The Army, asked about the
GAO report, said the criticism
referred to the Lacrosse mis
sile and said the last of the
Lacrosse units was disbanded

State refuses
second juror
in Ruby trial
DALLAS (UPU-Jaek Ruby's
defense today accepted its sec
ond prospective juror in 31
tries, but the state dismissed
him with a peremptory chal
lenge. The man who was accepted
by defense attorney Melvin Bel
li was a tall, lean Texas-type,
James C. Bland, 42, an appli
ance store manager witn a wife
and two children.
The World War n submarine
service veteran told the state's
attorneys that he had no scru

Apparently what impressed
Belli most about him was bis
answer to Belli's question as to
whether he could be a fair jur

"With God's help" he re
plied, "I feel I could be fair.'

Shortly after that, he ac

with such challenges.
The defense earlier had exer

Judge Joe B. Brown had sus

traveling salesman for the Lone

dismissed by Belli after the
prosecution objected to a
stream of questions and the
judge refused the objections.

One juror was picked Thurs
day. Judge Brown had under
advisement Belli's request for
additional peremptory chal

deadline for proving his con

Brown sustained objections to

President sees Sino-Russian
rift as spreading civil war
By Marriman Smith
UPI Staff Writer
LOS ANGELES (UPI) -President
Johnson, shortly before
starting his formal diplomatic
talks with President Adolfo Lo
pez Mateos of Mexico, today
pictured the Sino-Soviet rift as
"spreading civil war."
In a speech to an outdoor au
dience of more than 35,000 per
sons at the University of Cali
fornia at Los Angeles, Johnson
with Lopez Mateos at his side,
used the strongest terms of his
White House career to appraise
the squabble between Moscow
and Peiping.
The President called for an
end to bloodshed on Cyprus, and
"absolutely fair" settlement of
differences with Panama and
he also advised Communists to
realize they were playing "a
deeply dangerous game" In
South Viet Nam.
Larger than any of these trou
bles, Johnson said, was what he
called "the spreading civil war
among Communists."
"And larger still," he said,
"is the steadily growing
strength of the worldwide com
munity of freedom."
Meat at Airport
Johnson flew to Los Angeles
from Palm Springs this morn
ing and met Lopez Mateos at
International Airport. After the
special convocation at UCLA
where both men spoke and re
ceived honorary degrees, John
son and Lopez Mateos planned
lice be was opposed to the May,
1960, revolution that deposed
former Premier Adnan Men
der es and put Gen. Cemal Gur-
sel into power. Inonu, Men-
deres' long-time political oppo
nent, was elected premier when
Gursel ended military rule and
became president.
Menderes was hanged In Sep
tember, 1961, and several hun
dred other leaders of his Dem
ocratic party were given prison
sentences. But supporters of
Menderes have made gains in
recent elections.

Johnson's residence at about
1 p.m. PST.
Tight security precautions
were maintained at the airport
and on the campus. Security
guards were stationed atop most
buildings at the airport and
again at the university.
On this 96th anniversary of
the university's charter, Dr.
Clark Kerr, university presi
dent, conferred the honorary
degrees on Johnson and Lopez
Mateos.
"The world has become small

With this generalized Intro
duction, the President then ex
plored a series of crisis areas
in which the United States has
a major stake. Despite what he
called "the dangers of today,"
the President said the United
States would not be pushed
from the path to peaco by dis
ruptive efforts of communism.
He said the United States
never would be "intimidated by
any state anywhere in the
world that chooses to make it
self our adversary."
There is no panic on our
agenda," he said. "We are in
terested In the deeds of our ad
versaries, not their creeds. Let
them offer deeds of peace and
our own response will be swift."
Lopez Mateos in his remarks
prepared for the UCLA cere
mony steered clear of topical
references and concentrated in
stead on a philosophic approach
to world problems.
The Mexican president
thought that to achieve the po
tential of the zutn century,
there should be a concerted ef
fort "to abolish cold war, wipe
out the origins of international
tension and to increase under
standing among peoples and
governments."
