Given 10 Days Replying to Morris's state ment, State Department spokes men said Otepka had been given 10 days to answer the charges or face dismissal.

McNamara and Gen Maxwell D. Taylor reported re- ceiving optimistic accounts of South vict Nam s war against the Communists, tourned anotn er battle area today. Although McNamara and TaV' lor, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, are in their third day in Viet Nam, they have not yet scheduled a meeting with President Ngo Dinh Diem. Diem's crackdown on the Bud hists is one of the reasons the defense chiefs were sent here. They are finding out if morale in Diem's largely Buddhist army has been harmed by the campaign against the Buddhist leaders and if the Communists are benefitting. Assistant Secretary of Defense Arthur Sylvester told newsmen Thursday that the reports being received by McNamara and Taylor show that the guerrilla war is going well despite the Buddhist issue. "There has been no noticeable effect on morale, inteligence op erations, and determination to get the job done," he said. McNamara and Taylor met Thursday with the U.S. consul in Hue, the former Vietnamese capital and Buddhist religious center. Diem's troubles with the Buddhists began in Hue last May, when demonstrators were fired on and several killed. People living in the Hue dis trict formed the hard core of the Buddhist movement against the government this spring and summer. Today's schedule included a series of visits to bases of the 2nd Vietnamese Army Corps, which guards the Central High lands.

WeslinRhouse YounRstown President Waves Uranium Wand To Launch Project at Hanford HANFORT) (UPI) - Presi dent Kennedy ushered in the age of atomic electricity Thursday with a wave of a uranium-tipped wand. More than 30,000 persons broiled under a brutual sun for about three hours to be present for the historic occasion here. Kennedy used the atomic pointer to start a 60-ton crane and scoop shovel, which actual ly turned the first earth for construction of a powerhouse to produce 860,000 kilowatts of firm electricity. "I assume this was actually on the level and that there was nobody over there," Kennedy quipped as he gestured to the crane. In Dusty Area The ceremony took place in a dusty area beside the Columbia river. The crowd began to ar rive before noon and long be fore the President arrived, the spectators were standing shoul der to shoulder across the hot, dry desert. It was not a demonstrative crowd. They cheered only in frequently. But the fact that they came at all, 37 miles from the nearest town, attested to the sense of history. The audience was liberally sprinkled with children. The power plant scheduled for construction here will use steam to turn giant turbines. The steam is a by-product of the production of weapons - grade plutonium in an atomic reactor. The entire reactor will cost $105 million, with about $25 mil lion associated specifically with the electric generating facilities. which are scheduled to begin producing power by October, 1965. Although Kennedy's trip was billed as a nonpolitical one, it was the Democrats' day. Shar ing the speakers stand with the President were Gov. Albert D. Rosellini and the state's two U.S. senators, Warren G. Mag- Gambling Raids Net 129 Persons WASHINGTON (UPI) -Government agents staged a 50 state "flash" raid on gamblers Thursday, arresting 129 persons and confiscating $35,000. A spokesman for the Internal Revenue Service said 146 gam bling dens were raided in 53 J cities. The raiders confiscated 37 coin-operated machines and nine cars. However, when the raids were over, seven arrest warrants ! were still outstanding. : Hundreds of agents were in-' volved in the raids, the IRS said. All of the raids were syn chronized. At 2:30 p.m. (edt) the ; agents hit the gambling loca-! tions in the first large-scale I raids on gamblers since May 4 when 115 persons were arrested j in 43 cities. The tax agents usually con centrate on horse booking par lors and on the numbers racket. However, at this time of the year raids usually net some foot ball and baseball pools. .nuson and Henry M. Jackson. I All are Democrats. I No Republicans were on the stand, although Rep. Catherine May (R-Wash.) was praised in absentia for her part in the con gressional fight to win authori zation for the Hanford electric project. Kennedy noted that it was un usual for a President to visit a remote spot in the desert like the Hanford Reservation. But these are unusual times, he said. The President said the Han ford Atomic Energy Works was built 20 years ago to help with the development of the atomic bomb, "the giant sword which ended the Second World War. "Now, on this same site, and with these same scientific skills, a nation dedicated to living in peace is forging not a sword but a plow share," Kennedy said in his prepared speech. The President said the Han ford project was "a partnership in a very real sense between the national government and local communtiy." The electric facili ties will stimulate the economy of the Northwest, he said, and "as the northwest United States rises, so does the entire coun try." Jackson compared the Han ford electric project with Grand Coulee dam. He said proponents of both projects had to wage bitter congressional fights be fore they became realities. Hanford will produce about half as much electricity as Grand Coulee. About 21,000 Americans art killed by accidental falls each year, and one-half of the victim are 65 or more years old. i ....
