Navytlaims New
Speed Record for
Jet Fighters
Washington-fliPH-The Navy
today claimed a new world
record of 1,390.21 miles per
hour for jet fighter planes.
The record would be nearly
100 miles an hour greater
than one submitted for recog
nition by Russia four months
ago.
Navy Secretary William B.
Franke said "we have shown
again that we are equal to any
challenge that we will be
second to no one."
The Navy mark was set
Sept. 25 by Cmdr. John F.
(Jeff) Davis, 39, an Annapolis
graduate from Chicago, in a
McDonnell F4Hi Phantom II
fighter that will become op
erational aboard Navy car
riers late this year.
45,000 Feet Over Desert
Davis flew a 62-mile (100
kilometer) circular course in
40.9 seconds. His true average
speed was 1,454 miles an
hour, but he was occasionally
somewhat wide of the course.
The test was at an altitude of
45,000 feet over the Mojave
Desert near Edwards Air
Force Base in California.
Russia's mark for the 100'
kilometer course, submitted to
the Federation Aeronautique
Internationale June 28 and
not yet recognized, was 1,
298.7 miles per hour. The
American record also must be
submitted to the same body
for recognition.
The current official world
record is 1,167.35 miles per
hour set by Brig. Gen. Joseph
H. Moore . at Edwards last
Dec. 11.

Federal Agents
Seize Four Men
In Record Haul
New York-HIPD-A Guate
malan diplomat and three oth
er men were held in a record
million dollars bail today in
the smashup of an internation
al narcotics smuggling ring
that "defies the imagination
in its magnitude."
Federal narcotics agents ar
rested the four men at gun
point on a crowded Manhat
tan street Monday and confis
cated pure heroin worth $20
million on the illicit market
U.S. Attorney S. Hazard
Gillespie said the heroin seiz
ure was the largest single nap
cotics haul ever made in this
country.
Chief Courier
Mauricio Rosal, 58, Guate
malan envoy to Belgium and
the Netherlands, was identl
fied by federal agents as the
smuggling ring s chief courier.
He was said to have flown
in from Franco Sunday with
more than 110 pounds of un
cut heroin procured from
Middle East narcotics suppli
ers through the underworld
sources in Marseilles. He ap
parently used his diplomatic
immunity from customs
search to smuggle the heroin.
Rosal and French mystery
man Etienne Tarditi, 56, said
to have smuggled in 50
pounds of heroin last Satur
day, rendezvoused in Manhat
tan Monday with Trans World
Airlines purser Charles Bour-
bonnais, 39, and Brooklyn
longshoreman Nicholas Cala
maris, 47.
Forced To Curb
That was when a swarm of
about 75 narcotics agents.
guns drawn, pounced on
taxi and station wagon
which the four men were rid
ing and forced them to the
curb.
Rosal immediately claimed
diplomatic immunity from
search and arrest, but federal
agents had checked in ad
vance to find that since Rosal
was accredited by Guatemala
to represent that country in
Belgium and the Netherlands
-and not the United States
while here he did not enjoy
the privileges of diplomatic
immunity.
The arrest of the four men
was the climax of a carefully-
built-up case against them,
narcotics agents said. U.S
agents were aided in their
European operations by the
French Surete, the secret po
lice.
"This operation defies the
imagination in its m a g n i
tude," said George Gaffney,
head of the Federal Narcotics
division here.
Rosal and his alleged con
federates were believed to
have made twice-monthly nar
cotics deliveries here for the
past year.
That was why Gillespie
asked for the unusually high
bail of $250,000 each for the
four nien-Sl million in all.
In lieu of bail the four men
were held in the U.S. House
of Detention pending a hear
ing Oct. 17. They were
charged with conspiracy to
violate the narcotics law,
which carries a maximum sen
tence of five years in prison
and a fine of $10,000.
Morse 'Definitely'
Not Candidate
Washington-dTU-Scn. Wayne
Morse, (D-Ore.), said emphat
ically Monday he is not a can
didate for president and does
not want North Dakota elec

In a letter to the secretary
of state of North Dakota, he

reports indicating that the

November election.

notify you that I am not a

of the United States: that I
am strongly suporting the
Democrat ticket, and I do not
desire to have presidential
electors in North Dakota sup
port rne for the presidency in
the forthcoming November
election."
The auction, held at the
Sheraton Hotel, featured un
usual items ranging from a
new car to a rifle bullet lo

In Dollar Squeeze
Portland - (UPD - Rear Adm.
Grover B. Hall, hed of Navy
aviation in the Pacific, said
today the Navy was caught in
a dollar squeeze vhich was
resulting in not enough new
ships and planes.
He said that to provide
completely effective defense
the nation should make money
available to do the job proper
ly. Adm. Hall said that despite
missile development, he be
lieved manned aircraft would
be the nation's first line of
defense and offense for many
years. He added there was
nothing - obsolete about air
craft carriers and that the fu
ture of the country may well
depend upon them.
With carriers, he said, there
is no necessity to enter into
negotiations with other coun
tries for establishment of air
bases.
Adm. Hall and his wife
stopped briefly at the Port
land International Airport en
route to Boise, Idaho, and a
