Such a gap does exist, the experts admit. But three U.S. missile weapons - the Hawk, Mauler and Redeye - are ex pected to close It before de Gaullt completes his 50 bomber "force de frappe." Surprisingly, conside ring there have been few realistic tests, authorities, Including de Gaulle, appear to be agreed that the highflying bomber which can neither be seen nor heard is no longer any match for sophisticated missiles.

Cailson Johnson is a "Swede from Minnesota." He has short -cropped hair, horn rimmed glasses and a gentle voice which belles his record. Johnson fought for two years 'along the Burma Trail with Merrill's Marauders dur ing World War II and was among the remaining 800 of the original 3,000 who finally reached Kunming. Today, he is the chief in structor at the counter-insurgency section of the U.S. Army Caribbean school at this base on the Atlantic side of the Canal Zone. A long way from the Burma Trail, ho la training Latin American officers to tight Communist sub version at home. Fight Guerrilla This Is to bo an exercise against Communist guerrillas In the Imaginary country of "Zonla": ' Zonia has a typical situs tlon - corruption In govern ment, over - crowded cities, wealth concentrated in the hands of a few. For three years It has been a major Communist target; strikes plague the cities and guer rillas terrorize the country side. For the exercise, Panama nian national guardsmen pose as the guerrillas. In the field, Peruvian Offi cer Jorge Whlttenbury orients his map and outlines his bat tle plan. Last night, he had been leader of a song fest In the Officers' club. Today, he is deadly serious. Three patrols will go out on a mission designed both to collect information and to exterminate the enemy. Surprise Attack In the action, some guer rillas are captured, some kill ed. A surprise attack on the friendly base is fought off. But the sub-commander left in charge of the base wounded and a rescue helicopter Is called. But In arranging for the helicopter, the friendly forces leave their supplies unguard ed and the guerrillas blow them up. This Is the start of an eight day exercise and In the first day there have been mistakes which will be taken up at a day's end critique and. hope fully, won't be repeated.

IMS Move to Erase Ugly American Image at Port of Entry (Editor s note The U.S. j of the people who work on I r a n k-and-file personnel tn i rriurn trin airnlan lirkrt ivrmiinnai stmnn whK ihi i inmis,n. t . , . i . j .... aaT Immigration and Naturali zation service, on orders from President Kennedy, is trying to help erase the "ugly American" image sometimes associated with this country abroad. What the government agency is doing is described in the following dispatch.) By SAM FOGG United Press International Washington-HOT-'i hope . . . that wc will make sure that all of our airports and all of our piers at the seas and all i them show a face of America i which is our best face." ! President Kennedy said, dedi ' eating Dulles International Airport on Nov. 18. Face Lifting In keeping with the Presi dent's words, the Nation's i welcome to foreign visitors and returning American tour ists and businessmen is undergoing a facc-licting op eration for the better. A tour of immigrations and customs operations at key ports of entry reflects a de termined effort on the part of ran k-and-file personnel to I return trip airplane ticket provide travellers of every I and is frantic. Maria Louisa ternational airport where the the immigration service is nationality an uneffusive but warm greeting. Kennedy in his airport speech singled out for special notice the persbnncl of the U.S. immigration and natura lization service as "the first Americans that visitors will see here in the United States." Recently, here's what they have seen: At San Juan airport in Puerto Rico, a young Domini can in the process of entering : U.S. territory has mi. laid his Bolivar, a Spanish-Speaking immigration service port re ceptionist, comes to his help. The two backtrack through the customs area, through the immigration inspection booth, and in the airport entryway. There they find his ticket. The young visitor voices his thanks and hurries off. To Maria Louisa, it is part of the fun of her job. "That's the best of being a port receptionist helping people." she said. At new York's Idlewild In- visitors arrive by the thous ands each day, a young Ger man mother enters the immi gration inspection area trying lo control a tired and fidgety 10-month-old boy. Kolcne French, versed in German and Spanish, moves to her aid. The boy winds up in Kolene's arms, while his mother is cleared through in spection. He is trundled away happily in a luggage cart that resembles the younger set vehicles in every American supermarket. For Kolene, her career in family tradition. Her father and an uncle are both veteran employes. The port receptionists, nat Illy trim in their bright blue uniforms, are the most obvl. ous manifestation of the ef forts being made to extend an attractive welcome at the nation's ports of entry. They number about 40 now and serve at about 12 airports under the direction of Retta Ann Kirchmicr, who hopes to build up her welcoming force to. at least 70 during the next year or so. Inspectors for the immigra tion, customs and public health services don't quit exert the eye-catching charm of the young receptionists. To begin with they're men. But they operate with the same hospitable spirit of wel come. The luxury liner, the Con stitution, slips quietly into New York harbor during the night with 800 passengers aboard returning U.S. tour ists and visiting foreigners. By 6 a.m., five immigration inspectors have set up shop in the big ship's lounge bar. One by one and by couples the passengers begin to drift In to undergo an Immigration inspection that for most marks their first dealing with U.S. officials. For. many of them, their first greeting is from Cono Trubiano, a 37-year-old na tive of Brooklyn who could well be dean of men at a charm school. The one-time Army cor poral docs it with a few words and a flashing smile.

I hope you enjoy our country." Within a minute or so, Tru biano has checked his "alert" book which contains the names ot several thousand Americans and foreigners who have come under the surveillance ot the customs bureau, the FBI, the narcot ics people and other security agencies. He has stamped the passports and cleared them for immigration purposes. He has also managed quiet ly to give the United Statei some satisfied customers. Just Like Boss Inspector Trubiano reflect! his boss, Raymond F. Farrell, commissioner of immigration and naturalization since 1961. Farrell has stressed to his Inspectors that while U.S. se curity must be safeguarded from undesirable aliens, the government is now engaged in an entensive campaign to attract foreign visitors. He has urged that the aver age tourist from abroad be cleared for entry with "a minimum of delay" and, where possible, has ordered that red tape be cut. "Courtesy and tact" has be come the watchword of his service. From overseas last year, 863,000 tourists or visitors come to the United States, the greatest number in history. Tourist travel from Europe alone increased 32 per cent. In the future, an even greater influx is anticipated. The best example of this is the pre-inspection procedure which has been worked out by the immigration service immigration service and snip ing and airline companies which bring in returning Americans and foreigners. Advance Check Under the prc-inspection system, U. S. officials, co operating with the carriers, make their checks of entrants before the last leg of the journey to the United States begins. The nre-lnanectlon proce dure has been Installed at a number ot airline points in Canada ana lor steamship passengers irom Honolulu, the Mediterranean, Guam and' Puerto Rico." Th Idea is catching on with airlines and steamship lines, foreign and domestic alike. There la evidence that "op eration face-lifting" is work ing. Hare are excerpts from unsolicited letters received by the immigration service and the other agencies In volved: Stanley B. Butt. Isle of wight, England: "Express my thanks and appreciation to the members of your depart ment for the courteous man ner in which they performed their duties. At all times they were quick and cheerful. As a stranger, it was necessary for me to ask for Information and directions. Always in evi dence was an attitude to help In a manner that made me feel very welcome. Thank you for giving me the privi lege of landing In your country." Consul Thanked From Arthur H. Spitzer, consul for the Netherlands in Honolulu: "Thank you for the wonderful service and cour tesy received from you and the men of your department In the quick clearing of the passengers of the S. S. Zul derkruls, a Netherlands flag vessel, on her recent stop here In Honolulu." Mrs. Harold C. Kelleian, a returning American, wrote of the courtesy shown six for eigners who were on her flight that landed at Friend ship, Md., airport. "I should like to congratulate you In having in your employ the of ficer who was on duty that day. Not only was he unfail ingly courteous and patient, but he took a genuine inter est in welcoming these peo ple to the United States, in wishing them well, and In re lieving some of their anxie ties about passports, papers and what to do next. He did this without sentimentality or aggressiveness. One hears so much of the Importance of this kind of 'ambassador of good will' that it Is good to see It In action." What It all boils down to seems to be: We're not all ugly Americans.
