Informal swap
of pilot, Cuban
anglers made
KEY WEST, Fla. (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.

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.

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.

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

Ocean.

"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. .
