Navy Planning
Smo Missiles
WASHINGTON (AP)-The Navy
!s contemplating installing launch
ers for its Polaris missile in merchant-type
ships as well as sub
marines.
It still resists Air Force ' sug
gestions mac tne tiymg service
should have over-all strategic
command of all missile systems
including the Polaris submarine
Adm. Arleigh A. Burke, chief
of naval operations, told a House
Appropriations subcommittee the
Navy has been doing some re
search on possible surface ship
types that .could profitably be
fitted to fire the Polaris. This
1,500-mile missile, still being de
veloped, was originally designed
for use from submarines either on
the surface or submerged.
: Burke, in closed-door testimony
made public today, said that if
a surface ship intended just to
fire the Polaris was wanted, mer
chant ships of 5,000 to 7,000 tons
had considerable advantages.
Provision is being made also, he
(aid, to equip modernized cruisers
with Polaris . launchers, achieving
a dual-purpose ship.
Ike Presented
Book On GOP
WASHINGTON (UPI). - Two
Republican party leaders today
presented President Eisenhoweri
with a paperback book intended
to underscore the difference be
tween the GOP and the Demo
cratic party. . -
The book, which will go on sale
m book stores and newsstands on
Lincoln's Birthday Friday, is the
text of the report issued last fall
by the Republican Committee on
t'rogram and Progress. '
The committee sought to outline
goals and policies for the nation
up to 1976.
Sen. Thruston B. Morton (Ky.)
chairman of the Republican Na
tional Committee, and Charles H
Percy, who headed the committee
writing the report, presented the
40,000-word volume to the 'President.
The report was originally made
public last October.
Percy told reporters that the
report showed the difference be
tween the Republican and Demo
cralic parties.
Asked how he would define the
dillerences, Percy replied that
the theme of the GOP report was
to place more reliance on the in
dividual to solve his problems
himself or to get them solved at
a lower level of government in
stead of taking them to Washington,
Anastasia Controversy
Rages After Forty Years;
Court May End Dispute
Editor's Note: Forty years ago
this month, a Berlin police ser
geant jumped into a canal to res
cue a young woman attempting
suicide. In a hospital later she
mumbled that she was the Grand
Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna,
daughter of the last czar of Rus
sia and only survivor of the mas
sacre of his family by the Bol
sheviks in 1918. Is she a member
of royalty or a Polish peasant
or adventurer? The controversy
which has ranged for years fi
nally may be settled by a Ham
burg court.
By ROBERT MUSEL
HAMBURG, Germany (UPI)
When the assassin Yurovski led
the Russian royal family down in
to the lower floor room of the
house in Ekaterinberg (Sverd
lovsk) chosen as their place of
execution he observed a grisly
protocol.
Czar Nicholas 11 sat on one
chair with his sickly son, the
Czarevich Alexe, on a chair be
side him to the right. The Czar
ina sat on another chair with her
four daughters grouped about her
They did not know why they had
been summoned from their beds
on that bloody night of July 17,
1918.
They did not know the picked
squad with Yurovski had been
issued with new revolvers, that in
the woods nearby, at a mine pit
called "the mine of the four
brothers" there was sulphuric
acid and gasoline for destroying
their bodies so that royalists
would never have even a single
relic about which to rally.
When the slaughter was done,
and even some of the hardened
killers were sickened a soldier
tried to turn over the body of one
of the women and she screamed
Another soldier stepped forward
and smashed at her face with
his rifle butt.
Was this girl who screamed the
17-year-old Grand Duchess Ana
stasia? Did the rifle butt kill her?
Or did it merely crush her jaw
and teeth and leave her uncon
scious?
Does Anastasia still live today
Recently I stood in the hilltop
village of Unterlengenhardt in the
Black Forest of Germany.
Above a closely fabricated fence
of saplings I could see the upper
part of a small green hut per
haps fifteen feet square once used
for storage by a German army
unit. In this hut lives a true worn-.
an of mystery.
Councilmen
vict Selves
CARTHAGE, Mo. (AP) - Three
Carthage councilmen voted them
selves out of office and out of a
chance to seek election again in
April, says City Attorney Vernie
Crandall.
The city's five wards were re-
districted by vote , of the council
last Nov. 9.
In changing the ' boundaries,
Councilman Scott Campbell was
huffled from the 5th ward to the
3rd, Max McCann from the 4th
to the 3rd, and Harry Williams
from the 3rd to the 2nd.
The city attorney ruled Monday
night that the three do not hold of
fice now.
Further, Crandall said, they
can't be candidates in the spring
election because they must be
residents of a ward six months to
qualify. .
The election is April 5, lust four
days short of six months since last
Nov. 9. 1
Since 1933 she has been suing
to have herself declared Nikol
aevna, daughter of Czar Nicholas
II.
Her opponents are members of
the royal house of Hesse whose
members include the Queen of
Sweden and Earl Mountbatten of
Burma, and Princess Andrea of
Greece who is the mother of the
Duke of Edinburgh, husband of
Queen Elizabeth of Britain. Thev
say she is" a Polish peasant ad
venturess, and they deny that
money is involved.
She claims that in the confusion
of the charnel house, with the
murder squad desperately anxious
to dispose of the evidence of their
crime, the bodies of the Roman
ovs were not checked as thev
were piled on a truck, for the
ride to the funeral pyre and she
was hidden by two contrite Red
guards.
Then, delirious for weeks, she
was taken in a cart across Rus
sia and to safety in Romania.
No one in the village has seen
her since last summer, with the
exception of Fraulein Isa Mayhof
who brings her meals. Her only
contact with the outside world is
the telephone and only a tiny
handful of people know her num
ber. I obtained it and called her.
"Who arc you?" said a voice in
good English.
Before I could reply the phone
switched off.
A few yards up the road in a
modest white cottage her own
magnificent castle of Siebeneichen
is lost in Communist east Ger
many a nurse gave Baroness
Monica von Militz, the closest
friend of the pretender, an injec
tion against a heart condition so
she could talk to me.
The baroness believes implicitly
that the woman is the real grand
duchess for instinctive rather than
factual reasons "If you know
the difference between royal and
aristocratic manners, ' then you
know she is who she purports to
be." .!
The trail to Unterlengenhardt
began in this city where the de
cision on her identity will be
handed down in the grey-brick
civil court building. Meanwhile
those who are neutral in the case
generally call her "Mrs. Anna
Anderson," a name she used
when she was in the United States
in 1928-1930.
If she loses, said her attorney
Dr. Kurt Vermehren, she will
sue again at the first opportunity.
But if she wins he leaned across
the table and said:
Then we will sue to establish
her identity as the Czar's heir in
England. And when this is as
sured we will ask the English
banks to turn over to us the mil
lions of dollars they are holding
in one or another of the royal
Romanov accounts.
He smiled as he mentioned esti
mates that the fortune might be
anything between 70 million gold
rubles (58 million dollars) and 40
million pounds sterling (112 mil
lion dollars).

Cites Errors
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Assist
ant Air Force Secretary Joseph
V. Charyk has admitted to House
investigators that human errors
were behind some failures in the
Titan intercontinental ballistic
missile program.
Testimony made public today
by the House defense appropria
tions subcommittee also disclosed
that the Bomarc antiaircraft mis
sile successfully destroyed only
one supersonic target in 10 test
shots.
Rep. Daniel J. Flood (D-Pa.l
said Titan launching crews had
been guilty of "inexcusable and
appalling errors in personal judg
ment" in at least two firing fail
ures of the multimillion-dollar
ICBM.
Charyk admitted under intensive
questioning by Flood that "there
have certainly been human errors
that have resulted in damage to
certain missiles."
