She split the side seams and
jammed the zipper.

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

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.

money to get their industries go
ing again. 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.

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.
