A vacuum is a void. It is empty space. Ho.v can you put some thing In nothing? Even Ann Lan ders can't work that one.

By JAMES MARLOW Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON (API-President Kennedy got hemisphere attention with the 10-point program he laid down tins week for Latin Amer ica. But there wasn't much new in it. He had said most of it be fore, and then some. During the presidential cam paignlast Oct. 18 at Tampa he proposed a 12-point program. But this latest one got maximum staging. He unveiled it during a White House reception for 250 Latin American diplomats. They were generous in their praise for what he said. But back home officials of their govern ments were much more re strained. Some expressed disap pointment. It sounded big, the way Ken nedy unfolded his projarn. But the unanswered question is: How really big is it? It isn't a Marshall plan like the one under which this country poured billions into Eu rope to get it on its feet after the war. There's a difference. The mil lions of Europe were both edu cated and skilled and needed Finder May Take Reward LOS ANGELES (UPD-Douglas William Johnson, 50, busy consid ering offers to make personal ap pearances, said today he will an nounce Monday, whether he will accept a reward for returning $240,000 ho found in a street, The unemployed janitor refused to reveal precisely what was de laying his decision on whether to accept Brink's armbred ear firm's olfcr of a steady sro-a-wcek job us a guard and a scholarship for. his son, Richard, Hi. I have something I'm consider ing," Johnson said. But he de clined to say what It was. He did admit that he had no other job offers, however. He has recolved n number of offers to mako appearances on radio and television. J. L. Mabray, local manager of Brink's, offered the reward Satur day, the day after the bag of un marked money tumbled from a Brink's armored car and was re turned by Johnson, Ha was out looking for a job at the time he found the money bag. Mabray said his firm was hi no hurry and told Johnson to take all the time he wanted in making a decision on the reward. Highway Tax Program Hit WASHINGTON (UPI) - Presi dent Kennedy's highway tax pro gram bumped Into bipartisan crit icism today In the House Ways & Means Committee. Some key members made it I clear that they didn't like thei President's proposal for keeping the $40 billion, 41,000-mile road building program on schedule by raising highway taxes on highway! users, mostly truckers. Kennedy sent proposed legisla tion and an all-star team to de fend it to Capitol Hill Tuesday. Gov. L. R. McNichols of Colorado was expected to add a kind word at today s hearing. The administration contends the program will be delayed five years beyond the 1072 target date unless additional funds are pro vided. It wants, to keep the pro- gram on a pay-as-you-go basts by cancelling a scheduled one- cent drop In the federal gasoline tax on July 1, and by increasing levies on trucks, diesel fuel, tires and other Items. But Reps. Hale Boggs, - D-La., and John F, Byrnes, K-Wis., both members of the Ways & Means Committee, agreed that it looked like a "pay-before-you-go deal instead of "pay-as-you-go." The two congressmen noted that truckers would have to pay taxes for five years or so before they felt any financial benefits from the new roads. Rop. Steven B. DcRounian, R N.Y., added acidly that the now taxes on the truckers would just be passed along to consumers in higher costs for the tilings they Duy. Kennedy has said that if Con gress refuses to enact the truck und other taxes, then it should In crease the gasoline tax to four and one-half cents a gallon.

In Latin America mil lions lack education and skills, too. With them it's a problem of try ing to bring them abreast of the 20th century. Kennedy didn't put a price tag on his proposals. He told the Latin Americans in ef fect that they'll have to help themselves to get help from us, But he put it much more gently than Uiat. As for immediate mon ey he asked Congress to let him spend $500 million in Latin Amer ica for projects like education, health, housing, better use of land. President Eisenhower asked Congress for the same amount and for the same purposes. Con gress approved the spending but never actually voted the money. Now Kennedy has asked Congress to take that next and final step, He acknowledged in Tampa last year $500 million is far from enough to meet Latin American needs. He said then nearly all our eco nomic aid to Latin America which has bc?n getting only about 5 per cent of our total foreign aid has been in the form of loans to buy American exports. He said Latin Americans would pay more in interest that year (1960) to the Export-Import Bank than the entire $500 million which Elsenhower asked from Congress. Most of what Kennedy suggested this week was vague and general ized. But the heart of it was ob vious enough. He suggested long range aid over 10 years, based on coopera tive, long-range planning by the Latin Americans. Perhaps, although Kennedy de nied any such intention, this 10 point, 10-year program, if it is to get moving, will mean the United States must get deeply involved in the internal affairs of Its south ern neighbors. For instance: One of the deepest. causes of unrest among the Latin American masses, and one which gives communism a big talking point, is the economic monopoly of the rich on land and resources A congressional report las1 month, made by House members after a trip through Latin Amer ica, said one major obstacle to progress there is that 50 per cent of all land is owned by Hi per cent of the landholders. Kennedy called for both tax and land reform if the needs of most Latin Americans are to be met. There was a hint in what he said that unless a Latin-American country institutes reforms, it can't expect help. Also last month two senators- Wayne Morse, D-Orc., and Bourke Hickcnlooper, R.Iowa made a re port of their own on Latin Amer ica, They said: Latin Americas upper classes must recognize they can no longor maintain "their traditional elite society and eco nomic monopoly. . If the upper classes sock blind ly and stubbornly to retain all their privileged status they will almost surely lose everything, (he senators added. It's an old story: How to per suade those who have to give up some of it peacefully. If they don t, they may suddenly find the Communists have taken over. If this should happen in one or two mainland Latin-American countries, the problem of reform mignt be simplilied by scaring both the rich and the governments Into fast action to save themselves trom total disaster. .vi ; t'v.z-::: - .".-,: r; -"pT,t,,t ,..- 4isasssSs)fcrt4 4 vEMtawam m iimtmiwimtrtmimmm !

Castro Foes Start Fires HAVANA (UPI) - Foes of Pre-I mier Fidel Castro set fire to two government-seized Woolworth 10- ccnt stores Tuesday night and bombed two other nationalized re tail centers in the biggest out break of anti-Castro sabotage in downtown Havana since New Year's. The fires, apparently set by de layed-action phosphorus charges in top-floor warehouses at the two stores, started about 7 p.m. and burned until after midnight. Thick black smoke blanketed downtown Havana. A fire department spokesman blamed both blazes on "sabo tage." The Castroite radio blamed it on "phosphorus sent by the Yankee imperialist Central Intel ligence Agency and placed by traitors bought by blood-stainerl Yankee gold." A later broadcast blamed the flames on "McCarthyite (CIA Di rector) Allen Dulles." While firemen were fighting tlie two blazes, about 20 blocks apart, bombs exploded outside the na tionalized Scars store and the Precios Fijos department store, also government-owned. Three persons a fireman, a special policeman and a store em ploye were injured fighting the fires. The bombs taused no re ported casualties. Damage to the two buildings was extensive. ! SACRAMENTO, Calif. (UPI)-A B52 jet bomber carrying a nu clear weapon crashed in flames about 40 miles north of Sacramen to Tuesday. The only fatality was an Air Force fireman not on the plane. M.Sgt. Lawrence T. Gillham of Beale Air Force Base was killed when the fire truck he was driv ing crashed en route to the scene. The eight men aboard the $8 million bomber parachuted from the crippled craft. None was ser iously injured. Air Force -officials, who said there was no danger of a nuclear explosion, sealed off the area and sent in decontamination workers to eliminate any possible danger from radiation. The weapon was described an "unarmed nuclear device" by officials at Mather Air Force Base near Sacramento, where the plane was based. They said such weap ons customarily are carried as component parts that must be as sembled or "armed" before they are ready to r-xolode. The cause ol the crash was not immediately determined. The plane was commanded by Maj. R. V. Clay, 40. San Gabriel Calif., of the 4134th Strategic Wing at Mather. Others aboard were 1st Lt. R, C. Bingham, 27, Memphis, Tenn. copilot; dipt. William G.
