Elections May Be
Held in Vie! Nam
For Government
J SAIGON, South Viet Nam
(UPI) Junta chairman Maj.
Gen. Duong Van Minn said in
an interview made public today
that elections for an all-civilian
government might be held
"from 6 to 12 months" from
now.
Minh, who led the military
coup that deposed President
Ngo Dinh Diem and his broth
er Ngo Dinh Nhu, said that the
mixed military-civilian govern
ment would continue in office
for as long as a year's transi
tion period.
- Nguyen Ngoc Tho, vice presi
dent in the Diem regime, is the
civilian premier under the jun
ta. But the military retains al
most all government power.
Minh's interview with a South
Korean correspondent was
made public by the government
press agency.
Another Junta leader, Minis
ter of Defense Maj. Gen. Tran
Van Don, appealed in an order
of the day for a unified fight
against the Communist Viet
Cong guerrillas. He warned
that the overthrow of Diem
was only the "first page" in
the new history of Viet Nam.
s "The homeland and the peo
ple expect us to score more vic
tories until the last page is
reached," he added.
Communist terrorists killed
two members of a U.S. aid
team a rice expert from Na
tionalist China and his Vietna
mese interpreter m an am
bush about 50 miles south of
Saigon Wednesday.
The government said the
, Communists opened fire on the
car in which the men were rid
ing as it was coins through a
village. Its driver was wounded.
. The two men were employed
by the U.S. Operations Mission,
which is helping farmers in
Viet Nam increase their crop
productivity. '

Obscure Provision
To Occupy Hearing
WASHINGTON (UPI)-A rel
atively obscure but important
provision of President Kenne
dy's $11 billion tax cut bill was
expected to occupy center-stage
today at the Senate Finance
committee's public hearing on
the measure.
The 17-member committee
scheduled six witnesses, includ
ing Federal Power Commission
Chairman Joseph C. Swidler,
for testimony as the hearings
droned toward the end of their
fifth week.
Swidler was expected to be
questioned about a disputed h
section to prevent federal regu-:
latory agencies from ordering !
pipeline companies to pass on
investment credit tax savings
to consumers in the form of
lower rates.
The stakes involved in the
provision, tacked on by the
House Ways & Means Commit
tee, are considerable. They
amount to $27 million to pipe
line companies for only about
three months in 1962, and more
millions in 1963 and future
years.

Recipe for Television Western Could Be Taken From N.M. War
By ROBERT E. HUBER
United Press Internationa!
SANTA FE, N.M. (UPI) The
1963 recipe for television west
erns could have -been lifted
from New Mexico's famous
seven-day Lincoln County War.
The recipe calls for one well
known gunfighter, mix with a
running battle and a burning
ranchhouse, add a U.S. cavalry
rescue and a touch of racial
prejudice, strain out the cattle
barons and boil for 90 minutes.
The well-known gunfighter of
the Lincoln County War was
Billy "the Kid" Bonney, whose
name, 84 years later, still
sparks controversy in New
Mexico.
As recently as two years ago,
a New Mexico court had to de
cide the final resting place for
the Kid's body. It let him lie
where he was a tourist attrac
tion in a tiny desert graveyard.
Lincoln County at the time of
the war stretched across the
width of the New Mexico Terri
tory a massive area of grass
and mountains and the largest
political subdivision in the
world. It was the Southwest's
last "free range."
Early in 1879, cattle baron
John Chisum and his partner
Alex McSwain moved 80,000
head of beef into Lincoln Coun
ty along the Pecos River. The
monstrous herd, which swept
the plains of all smaller herds,
was intended for future sale to
Indian reservations in Arizona.
Smaller ranch owners who
lost herds inside the Chisum
McSwain stampede threatened
to form an association, setting
the stage for Chisum to hire
Billy the Kid as deputy consta
ble of the Chisum Ranch,
The Kid, after killing two op
position cowboys, a sfteritl
and a deputy, moved a force ol
JOHN STRALEY offers this explanation of the origin of
kissing: "The cave man found that salt helped him sur
vive the fierce summer heat; also that he could get the salt
by licking a companion s
cheek. Then he discov- je
ered that the process be
came more interesting if
the companion, belonged
to the opposite sex. Next
thing you know, every
body forgot all about the
salt"
A TV comedy writer at
Danny's Hideaway proudly
announced, "I wrote a lot
at Jimmy Durante'a best
material this year, and now
they're trying; to sign me
to do a new version of
Cyrano de Bergerac." "Go along with you," ordered Danny.
"You're nothing but a nose-dropper."
Val Carmichael writes that his motoring problems have been
miraculously reduced since he found a way to stop his wife from
eing a back seat driver. He stuffed her into the trunk.
...
Jack Lemmon Insists that his doctor told him on the day his
last picture was completed, "Please skip your vacation this year
and get a real rest."

63 men to the Capitan Mourt-j
tains north of Lincoln Town toi
oversee the Chisum ranch. i
Organized Posse
Deputy Sheriff Marion 'Rimer
organized a posse of 35 men
ail small ranchers -- and went
after The Kid. Two days later,
in the mouth of a small arroyo,
the first shots of the Lincoln
County War rang out. The date
was June 17, 1879.
Turner's posse, outnumbered
almost two to one, gambled and
divided into two groups, one
slipping quietly through a thick
forest alongside the Bonney
camp while the other held the
arroyo closed. When Bonney be
gan a frontal attack on the re
m a i n i n g 25 possemen, the
flanking company opened fire
from behind, killing 21 ol Hon
ney's men.
But Bonney led a wild escape
through the ranks of the posse,
and the next two days of run'
ning gunfights left each side
with only about 25 men.
At that time, true to the lete
vision, the 9th U.S. Cavalry
came to the aid of the posse
and Bonney's meager force fled
to Lincoln Town for a last-ditch
stand in a huge adobe ranch'
house.
The house, owned by Chis
um?! partner McSwain, proved
to be a fortress. Attack alter at
tack by the posse am! the troop
ers were repelled. Inside, Mrs.
McSwain encouraged her house
guests by playing martial airs
on a piano and singing battle
songs.
Bonney's men held their posi
tion. Not only were they fight
ing for their lives, but they
were mad at the U.S. Cavalry
for interceding with two compa
nies of Negro troopers.
Finally Turner's men set fire
to the house and Bonney and
his men burst out. Caught in a
vicious crossfire and hand - to-
hand combat, Bonney lost 23
men in minutes.
But Bonney miraculously es
caped with a lew stragglers,
which would have allowed him
to come back next week if the
fight had been on television.
Leaders Died
With the last shot fired only
seven days after the first, a tal
ly of both sides showed all the
leaders but Bonney and Chisum
dead by gunfire. In lightning
succession, Chisum's gigantic
herd, untended, became easy
nrev for rustlers, the county
was subdivided into smaller
counties, and the land was set
tled and broken into farms and
ranches. The day sf the cattle
baron was over m New Mexico.
What happened Es Billy the
Kid? Following fee television
recipe etosety, he stayed around
for two more years until his
pepstfanty finally waned. H
died alone at midnight, July 24,
mi killed by Marshall Fat
Garrett.
