Dr. Joseph Trelcaven, ad ministrator of the mental health division of the state, said that it is hoped there will be 16 mental health clinics in operation by next June in the 6tale compared to 11 last July. Some 54 persons attended the conference which will be the first of a series. many's Free Democratic Party has said it will not rejoin the coalition government unless Strauss goes. Unless the FDP returns its support to the government, Adenauer will be left at the head of a minority govern ment that could be toppled by a parliamentary defeat on a major issue. Strauss was not a candidate Sunday. But he led his Chris tian Social Union - the Ba varian branch of Adenauer's Christian Democratic Parly -to slight but unexpected gains in voting for the Bavarian leg islature. The opposition Socialists also gained ground, at the ex pense of smaller splinter par ties. But Strauss' party ap peared to retain power in the Bavarian legislature, despite earlier predictions of a defeat. SELECT NOW! Hjva your name Imprinted CSfirm' 217 E.

The victory inched his fol lowers to within an eyelash of governing Bavaria without splinter party support. But more importantly for Strauss, it strengthened his hand in fighting to remain as defense minister. A poor showing in Bavaria would have eased the CDU's task of ousting Strauss in order to keep FDP support in Bonn.

(UPIi The Coast Guard Sunday rescued 10-man Sea Scout group from Everett which was stand' cd in storm tossed Puget Sound waters aboard a 26- foot sailing vessel which later capsized.

The RS70 has been the cen ter of a bitter administration congressional fight, with in fluential members of Congress demanding that the plane be put on the road to production and Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara stoutly refusing, Vinson Plaeattd President Kennedy had to step in with a compromise last spring, temporarily placating Chairman Carl Vinson (D-Ga of the House Armed Servipes committee, with agreement to make a new study of the re- connaissance-stnke plane, With Kennedy's approval McNamara announced Sunday night that an additional $50 million will be spent on the complicated radar and other electronics equipment such plane would need. There was scarcely any comfort for the Air Force in that, and a new furor in Con gress next year is a safe bet, Thra Planes Approvtd The McNamara announce ment said the extra money would be spent on the "cur rently approved" RS70 devel opment program. All that is currently approved is the building of three experimental versions of the plane, a behe moth designed to operate above 70,000 feet over an 8,000-mile range at three times the speed of sound. The first flight of the plane recently was postponed from December until next spring because of mechanical prob lems. The statement, it was noted said nothing about additional airplanes such as Congress ev idently had in mind in voting $191.6 million more than the administration wanted for the RS70 this year. Cost Slightly Higher McNamara said the total RS70 project through 1965 now would cost SI. 35 billion instead of the $1,3 billion pre viously planned for the three experimental planes. The por tion that win be spent mis year is now to be $221 million instead of $171 million, an ncrcasc that had been expect ed If the Air Force could show need for it in developing electronics equipment. The announcement said the additional money was for 'highly complex radar and other components of manned aircraft reconnaissance s y s- terns." That left an inference that RS70 experimental models might wind uu serving only as lest beds for equipment that might later be used in other aircraft and for flight research.

Millionaire Class "You have to be pretty far up in the millionaire class to rent here," Coffey said. "The greatest percentage of tenants will be retired and the rest will be executives in the top echelon of business. They used to go to hotels but hotels have lowered the barriers and don't cater to the wealthy any more," Coffey, in New York to look into a few details of managing the $8 million project, said he had tried to think of every thing millionaires needed and wanted.
