(UPI)-The United States and Cuba appar ently made an informal swap Thursday an American pilot and his hijacked plane for four Cuban captains and their fish ing boats. No one in an official capacity was willing to call it a formal trade, but 11 seemed more than coincidence that the minute Richard Wrloht circled his plane over the Key West Air port, the fishing boats chugged out or the harbor and headed for Havana. The fishermen, caught poach ing in Florida waters Feb. 2, were released from jail at 8 a.m., but didn't get underway until Wright showed up at the airport about noon. Wright, a 23-year-old pilot for the Tamiami Aviation Co. in Miami, was questioned at length by federal authorities before being allowed to talk to newsmen. His arrival ended 18 days in the county jail for 29 Cuban fishermen. The skippers of the four Cuban boats were con victed of fishing in Florida wa ters wilhout a license Wednes day and fined $500 each. The state of Florida dropped similar charges against 32 crewmen, and two more of the original crew of 38 were granted political asylum in the United Slates. Wright said the Cuban gov ernment treated him "quite well" after tvo Cuban exiles Enrique Costello Hernandez and HeinaUlo Lopez Lima hi jacked his plane en route to Key West Tuesday and forced him to fly to Havana. U.S. dependents refuse to panic SAIGON, South Viet Nam (UPD Adm. Harry D. Felt, U.S. Pacific forces commander, said today that most American dependents in Saigon have re fused to panic because of Com munist terrorism and do not want to be sent home. Felt told newsmen ho favors keeping the 1,800 wives and children of U.S. servicemen and civilians hero despite the series of terrorist bombings that have killed five Americans and in jured 72 tills month. "I see no evidence among our own people of anybody getting panicky or rattled," 'he said. ''I sco quiet calm." Felt, who spoko to newsmen at tho end of a two-day visit here, said there were individual dependents who wanted to be sent home. This, he said, was up to each family. There wore reports earlier this week that about 20 civilian government employees had asked that their families be re turned becauso of tho terrorist danger. U.S. sources hero believe the Communist bombing campaign Is aimed nt creating pressure In the United States for the withdrawal of dependents from Viet Nam or even the return of the 15,500 U.S. troops serving as military advisers In Uie guerrilla war. Moore planning to give up all commitments NEW YORK (UPI)-Garry Moore, a radio and television personality for 30 years, an nounced Thursday he will quit all his present broadcasting commitments at the end of the current season. The Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS) announced pre viously it was cancelling Moore's hour - long television program "The Garry Moore Show" for next season. But Moore's announcement that he would quit his other CBS tele vision show "I've Got a Secret" and his 10-minute daily radio program came as a sur prise. Moore said he had no plans for the future beyond complet ing the present season. Final count on hoarded money hits $763,223 CHICAGO (UPI) -The final count on a hoard of cash found in the barred-window bungalow of a dead policy wheel operator and his common-law wife stood today at an almost unbeliev able $763,223.30. Officers continued their In vestigation of Lawrence Wake field's policy games and said still unchecked resources might push the dead gambler's total fortune to $1 million. The Internal Revenue Service immediately slapped liens of $81,157 for Income taxes for 1052 to 1956 and the IRS began its own investigation that could last an estimated six months to a year into Wake field's operations. If it is found lhat Wakefield was guilty of fraud, the IRS could go beyond the six year statute of limitations and make collections for all the years Wakefield was in business plus interest. This could eat up most of the money. A man who identified himself as Vernon Washington and said he was a nephew of Wakefield came to the police station and inquired about his "uncle's money." He was the only known relative of Wakefield. The woman, Mrs. Rose Ken nedy, 60, said $160,000 of the money was hers, cash given to her by her husband, a former gambler in Canada, before his death more than 30 years ago. A short lime later, she told po lice, Wakefield came to her South Side bungalow to live. It was doubtful how much or a claim Mrs. Kennedy would be able to stake on the money because Illinois does not recog nize, common-law marriage. Authorities said that she would bo able to file a claim for hav ing housed Wakefield through the years. Police stumbled onto the hoard Tuesday morning when Wakefield suffered a heart at tack and Mrs. Kennedy called for an inhalator. One of the of ficers spotted coin wrapping paper. WATER PISTOL HELPS WILBRAHAM. Mass. (UPD Volunteer firemen used a bor rowed toy water pistol Thursday to douse a stubborn partition fir In Howard Racine's home. Message expected to include plans to bridge unfilled gaps' By Gaylord P. Godwin UPI Staff Writer WASHINGTON (UPI)-Presi- dent Johnson's forthcoming message on poverty is expected to include several proposals to bridge what the agriculture de partment calls "unfilled gaps" which affect rural areas. An agency spokesman said these unfilled gaps within de partment jurisdiction are: Assistance to low income school districts to buy school lunch equipment. Expansion of food stamp plan to make it permanent and include more people. Improved migratory farm labor housing. Expansion of Farmers Home Administration farm own ership loan volume. Renewal and extension of expiring rural housing legisla tion. Authorization to use develop ment grants in conjunction with FHA loans for rehabilitation. Loans to rural cooperatives and non-profit associations. Loans to farmers for small non-farm enterprises. Loans to enable sharecrop pers and tenants to obtain se cure tenure on family farms in areas of large ownership blocks. The department has said that about 1,505,000 farm families are in the poverty category. The agency classes as a poverty case a family with income from all sources of less than $3,000. The spokesman said Johnson is expected to send the message on poverty to Congress within three weeks, perhaps less. The spokesman said the gov ernment's attack on poverty, especially as it affects rural areas, should call for about 6.6 million new non-farm jobs with in the next 10 years. He said this would call for (1) broad scale investment In human beings so they will be compe tent for available lobs and (2) generation of sound economic and governmental employment opportunities and jobs. Secretary of Agriculture Or- ville L. Freeman believes the chances of getting a combina tion wneat and cotton out ap proved by the Senate before the Civil Rights debate starts are 'promising. Asked for elaboration, he said the word "promising" was as far as he could go. He added, however, that unless the legis lation is approved before April 1 it will be too late to affect 1364 crops.

The blaze was believed to have started in a stairwell on the ground floor of the four story structure. HUNGRY? Then plan to live it up at the C.O.C. SKI CLUB'S annual SPAGHETTI FEED SAT., FEB. 22 5 thru 7:30 p.m. at th Bend High School Cafatarla 1 per person Thant keeps negotiations behind scenes UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. (UPI) Secretary General U Thant kept the Cyprus crisis negotiations behind the scenes today to avoid cold war com plications in his search for a solution. Thant was said to have made some progress toward general acceptance of his plan for an international peace force and a special mediator t" settle political differences oetween warring Greek and Turkish Cy- priots. It was considered likely that Thant's intensive consultations with parties to the dispute would result in deferment of further Security Council action, possibly until next Tuesday. The secretary general was expected to confer with repre sentatives of Britain and Greece in a continuation of his consultations Thursday with delegates of the United States, Turkey, Norway and Cyprus. The United States and Norway are council members. Great importance was at tached to avoidance of cold war polemics and delay be cause of the mounting tension between the Greek and Turkish communities in Cyprus. It was feared that major fighting could erupt at any time, pos sibly involving Greece and Tur key in war. Informed sources said Thant was hoping to get Britain, Greece, Turkey and Cyprus to sit down together perhaps dur ing the weekend to iron out their differences on his peace force-and-mediator plan. Agreement of Greece and Turkey was the major con sideration, because of the threat of their military inter vention in the Cypriot dispute.

Child is born to Queen Hope CALCUTTA, India (UPI) - The small Himalayan kingdom of Sikkim today observed a hol iday honoring the birth of the first child to Queen Hope Nam gyal, the former Hope Cooke of New York City. The new prince was born Thursday night at the Wood lands Nursing Home in Calcut ta, where the 23-year-old queen was brought despite her protests that she wanted to give birth in Gangtok, the remote Sikki mese capital. Mother and child were re ported in good condition. King Palden Thondup Nam gyal, 40, rushed to Calcutta from London, arriving in time for the birth. He had been vis iting two sons by his late first wife. The older boys, attending school in England, both rank ahead of the newborn prince in the royal succession. Officer's wife facing charges PORTLAND (UPI). - Mrs. June B. Eck, 40-year-old wife of a Portland policeman, was in dicted by a federal grand jury Wednesday on a charge of em bezzling $11,879 from the Crown Employes Federal Credit Union in West Linn. She was an employe of the firm.

The Bulletin, Friday, February 21, 1964 Glenn recalls many thrills' of his historic 3-orbit flight COLUMBUS, Ohio (UPI) Former astronaut John H. Glenn Jr. met with newsmen Thursday on the second anni versary of his historical three orbit space flight, and said he would like to do it again. He recalled "many thrills" of his flight and said nothing stood out "vividly" in his mind about the flight because "there are so many things that are impres sive in my memory." Glenn, 42, recently resigned from the nation's space pro gram and is in the process of re signing as a lieutenant colonel in the Marine Corps, to cam paign for the Democratic nom ination for the U. S. Senate in the May 5 primary election. Politics were not discussed at the session Thursday. Glenn predicted that someday "somebody will lose his life in the space programs. You have to expect that just like in air craft." He said no one could have predicted at the start of the Mercury program for one man orbital flights that the pro ject would have been complet ed so successfully. No Injuries In Project There had been fears for the safety of those involved, the space hero said, but noted that "nobody got as much as a scratch" during Project Mer cury. He said he could remember "very vividly" his feelings when a signal in his Friendship 7 spacecraft indicated the heat shield had separated. The cap sule would have burned to a cinder when it re-entered the earth's atmosphere had the shield actually separated. "If anything happens on a space flight it will be in the re entry," Glenn said. "That is where you have the most prob lems. The most heat and the gravity forces." He said, half jokingly, the heat shield incident "could have made a real bad day out of it" on his flight. Glenn also recalled the four I 1 Pofnnorntnr Sirlr B I If You Are Plagued With A HOT jcebox Call 382-1171 For EXPERT REPAIRS Commercial or Domestic EJ POTTER'S APPLIANCE REPAIR (Mi sunsets he saw the day of hii momentous flight three while orbiting Earth and the one he watched from the deck of a Navy destroyer after Friend ship 7 landed in the Atlantic Ocean. Detcribti Colorful Sunset "This is something you can't imagine on earth," he said. "Those bright, brilliant colors of the spectrum, It's all the col ors of the rainbow but not like a rainbow." Describing his re-entry into civilian life after 22 years in the Marine Corps, Glenn said "you don't leave the Marine Corps, which has been my life the past 22 years, and the spaca program, in which I was en gaged the past five years, and the big events I have been in, without having some doubt about if you ought to do what you are going to do." He said he could not enter a reserve unit after his retire ment from the Marine corps is final March 1, although he had hoped to be able to do so to re tain his jet flying status. "I hope to continue doing, some flying," he said with a wry grin, "but in aircraft a lit tle different than I've been used to." He was referring to small light planes, rather than the jet fighters and the Atlas rocket he has flown in the past. Glenn declined comment on "the space race" with Russia. He also declined to discuss U. S. hopes to land a man on the moon in the 1960s. . Cart-Drawn Horse! mm mmtjMxmmam mm mm M t.mttrmMd ART MILLER District Managar . . 416 W.
