Ml, C' Main and Bartlett Ride 'n Shop Member 1 I Phone 772-6428 Decision Said Caused by Ships Being Scattered Washington fUPIt The De fense Department today an nounced "cancellation" of an amphibious maneuver in which more than 6,000 Ma rines were to have landed at Vieques island near Puerto Rico Tuesday. A Pentagon spokesman at tributed the decision to the scattering of ships assigned to the maneuver by a Carib bean hurricane. The department did not vol unteer the information. It made the announcement after being asked about news dis patches from Puerto Rico. "The landings have been cancelled," the spokesman said. Asked whether they would be staged later, he said he did not know. He said hurricanes "scattered the ships." Mysterious Atmoiphen The cancellation came amid a mysterious, crisis atmos phere here. Assistant Defense Secretary Arthur Sylvester told report ers this morning there had been a "misrelationship" be tween the big Caribbean ma neuver and "anything else." He made the statement a few minutes before one of his assistants checked and found that the Vieques island land ings for Tuesday had been cancelled. More than 20,000 Navy and Marine personnel and 40 ships had been assem bled for the maneuver. Air Mobility Test Sylvester said 1.200 Ma rines from Camp Pendleton and El Toro, Calif.; were mov ed into the Caribbean exer cise area in an air mobility test as part of the maneuver. He was asked whether there was any current ban on re porters visiting military in stallations in this country. He said there was not as far as he knew. The Navy on Defense De partment orders, recently moved 12 supersonic Phantom jet fighters into Boca Chica Naval Air Station near Key West, Fla. The base is about 90 miles from Cuba. Sylvester said he knew of no other recent build-up in Florida. Enttrpriit Leavts He said he thought the nu clear powered aircraft carrier Enterprise had departed Nor folk, Va., last week to join the Caribbean maneuver. It was reported at the time that the Enterprise put to sea to avoid Hurricane Ella. Asked whether the maneu ver had any relationship to mysterious developments in Washington over the week end, Sylvester said "none whatever. Branchfield Lauds Service Officers "The most important vet erans today are those who think of themselves as busi ness and civic leaders," Ed ward Branchfield, chairman of the advisory committee to the state department of vet erans' affairs, said in a speech before county service officers at Seaside recently. Branchfield said he be lieved veterans should stop asking the federal govern ment for benefits solely on the basis of their war service. "Those in need because of their military service should certainly be taken care of by the government," Branchfield said, "but those of us who are able to care for ourselves should do so." Branchfield, a Medford lawyer, was the guest speaker at the semi-annual conference of the Oregon County Vet erans' Service Officers asso ciation. He praised the county service officers for their ef forts in counseling and aiding Oregon's war veterans. "The first of these county service officers." Branchfield said, "was Hush Gould of Josephine county. Gould was appointed to help veterans in 1944. a year before the end of World War 11. Today, be cause of hia fine record, Ore gon has service officers in 33 of the 36 counties, helping veterans and their dependents and survivors obtain the bene fits granted them by a grate ful government." Decision Near on Atte To Do Away With 'Fe Chicago - 0)71 - The nation's railroads may learn today whether they can keep on track or be derailed in their attempt to get rid of "feather- bedding jobs. The U.S. Court of Appeals is to consider an appeal by five on-train, or operating, brotherhoods for a permanent injunction to prevent 195 of the nation's carriers from mpt by Railroads atherbedding' Jobs initiating the many work rule changes. Court action against the brotherhoods probably would result in the calling of a na tionwide strike and possibly White House intervention. But court action against the rail roads would bring about fur ther, prolonged court litigation. , Ftr Fast, Efficient Strvict jytlVj to or from Ship It - a cur Oakland, San QqI Francisco, Lot Angeies aijair ' ' and Other California -"""H Points Jack Fitzgerald 773-7761 -HLV I 1 -i Oiacjlv OOOOOOiVggly. o S ESTABLISHED 1896 I GREEN STAMPS, o O t n.
