Pentagon Not To Spend Millions For Bombers WASHINGTON (AP)-The Ken- nedy administration announced Friday night that the military buildup will give the nation "a nuclear capability several times" that of the Soviet Union's, and thus the Pentagon will not spend extra millions ticketed by Cong ress (or big bombers. ' The decision not to use the $780 million Congress voted for the bombers and for pushing work on .hirrraft nf fhp fuljirA was marlft public by Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara. He said he had President Kennedy's approv al. In announcing that the funds would be impounded, the Defense Department said: "The progress of the administration's accelerated defense buildup makes unneces sary the use of additional defense funds appropriated by the Cong ress above the amount requested ijf the administration." The Pentagon originally opposed Buying more of the long-range B52 bombers and a speedup in de velopment of the B70, designed to fly at 2,000 miies an hour, '- But when the Berlin crisis de veloped, Congress not only ap proved all the additional funds Kennedy had requested but added Since then the bomber program has been under study in the de fense Department There had been rumors and hints that the Pentagon might re verse itself. But Friday's decision was foreshadowed even when Congress was considering the bill. McNamara let it be known then he was disinclined to spend the money, The announcement not to spend the money ran into opposition from Sen. John Slennis, D-Miss. chairman of the Senate military preparedness subcommittee, who led the floor fight for the funds, Stennis said Friday night in Jackson, Miss., that he is still convinced that, "it will be an error not to proceed with the manned bomber program." He said in a statement that he will object to the use of the money for any purpose other than the bombers. He added: "I will con tinue to urge an increased pro gram of B52 and B70 long-range bombers. McNamara said his recommen dation "in no way means that our bombers are becoming obsolete He listed factors entering into the decision against using the money The United States, he said, now has a force of about 1,500 heavy more for another 45-plane wing 3fSD j medium bombers and refuel- the B52s, plus money to speed development of other projects.

Police Chief Accused Of 'Framing' Candidafe LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) - The Newport, Ky., police chief stood accused today of framing George Ratterman a man running for sheriff on a pledge to clean MP the county surrounding that northern Kentucky gamblers haven. "the foul odors of vice, corrup tion and bribery cover Campbell County like a pall," a federal grand jury reported Friday as it returned indictments against New port Police Chief Upshere White, two of his detectives, and three other men. The indictments charge the de fendants conspired to arrest Rat terman in a hotel room with a strip tease dancer last May 9, al though they "knew Ratterman was innocent" of any law viola tion. Ratterman, a former profes sional football player, is running for Campbell County sheriff in next month's election with the backing of a reform group. R's a relief to have my phase of the Investigation over," Ratter man, 34, said.' But 1 take no pleasure in seeing anyone indict ed. I'm sure they'll get a fair1 trial.': The grand jury session began last summer to see if Ratterman's civil rights had been violated when he was arrested in the hotel room with dancer April Flowers, Ratterman claimed he had been drugged and framed, and misde meanor charges against him were dropped in a police court trial. Indicted with White, 49, were Detectives Pat Ciafardini, 39, and Joseph Quitter, 43; Charles E. Lester, a Fort Thomas, hy., law yer; and night club operators Tito Carincl, 32, and Edward Anthony Bucclei'l, 39. , Ciafardini was the man who ar rested Ratterman in the hotel room, which was Carinci's. White, then a detective, and Quitter were on the call. Lester allegedly tele phoned a photographer to arrange for pictures of the incident: and Buccieri. was a coowner of the hotel. White, Ciafardini, Newport May or1 Ralph Muffman, three city commissioners, and several police officers were Indicted by a Camp-I bell County grand jury last month on charges of conspiracy to ob struct justice. White i was named police chief this month after former Chief Georgo Gugel, accused of failing to enforce antivice laws, retired Gugel later was barred by Gov. Bert Combs from holding public office In Kentucky for four years. "I'm glad," White said of his in dictment. Now I've at least got a chance to defend myself. It's the first time in the whole incident I've really felt bitter," Carinci said. I didn't get a chance' to present the real truth of the whole story." Quitter had no comment, and the others could not be reached. None of the six appeared before the jury Friday.-- - - Ratterman did, along with Miss Flowers, whose real name' Is Juanita Jean Hodges, of Houston, Tex. The indictments, brought under1 a federal law prohibiting tlte use of police power to deprive a per son of his constitutional rights, carry penalties of a $1,000 fine! and a year in prison on each count. Each defendant was indict ed on two counts.

U AW Poses Strike Stab At Chrysler DETROIT. Mich. (AP) - Chrys- ler Corp. had today what amount ed to a Thursday strike deadline from the United Auto Workers Union. The union gave every indication that it would attempt to avoid a walkout at plants of the only money-loser among the auto in dustry's big three, but the UAW international executive board said Friday night it was postponing until 8 p.m. Tuesday a decision on whether to serve 48-hour notice of contract termination. Notice of contract termination normally means strike notice, and a union spokesman said it would be in the case of Chrysler. The UAW executive board gave several reasons for delaying until Tuesday a termination notice for Chrysler, among them a request from William Simkin, director of the Federal Mediation and Con ciliation Service, "on behalf of the United Stales government." Delay was decided upon, too, the union said, because of "the real progress that has been made both with respect to national and local negotiations" on a new Chrysler contract The corporation offered approxi. mately the same economic pack age of wages and fringe benefits Friday that the UAW previously had negotiated with General Mo tors Corp. and the Ford Motor Co. The union estimates the pack age is worth more than 12 cents hourly over each year of the three-year contracts in take-home pay, and it broadly improves such fringe items as pensions and sup plemcntal unemployment benefits, Another reason for delaying of a fixed deadline, the union said, could be attributed to its recogni tion of the "precarious position" of Chrysler and serious loss in the corporation's historic percent age of the automobile market." The UAW said it wanted to give Chrysler's new management "an opportunity to take imperative steps to overcoming the serious deficiencies' of the past. The topmost stumbling block in Chrysler-UAW negotiations re-, mained at - the - plant working agreements, which will sup plement a national agreement. All but 12 bargaining units among the! UAW s 88 at Chrysler's 46 plants had reached local-level agree ments Friday night. But still outstanding was the Twinsburg, Ohio, stamping plant. A strike over local-level issues at Twinsburg would have approxi mately the effect of a company wide strike. Twinsburg is Chrys ler's rJo. 1 plant for the produc-i tion of pressed metal parts used by all car and truck divisions. Also still outstanding were set tlements at all assembly plants, except that at St. Louis, Mo.

The expensive trappings may Demo Team Eyes Bottle SPOKANE (AP) An Army demolition team from Ft. Lewis was to arrive here Saturday to! find out it there really is nitro glycerin in a bottle found Friday in an apartment house basement The demolition team was called after apartment house owner John McRae found the bottle while cleaning the basement in the five- unit building. Ammunition experts from near by Fairchild Air Force Base said it looked like nitroglycerin, but they couldn't be sure. Neither could police, so they evacuated the nine tenants and blocked the street to auto traffic. Some nearby residents got the jitters and pulled out with cloth ing and small apph; 'ces. The Air Force explosive experts said the pint bottle of whitish liquid if it does contain nitro would be equal to 60 pounds of TNT. They suggested that the entire block might have to be evacuated Saturday when the demolition team from Ft. Lewis makes its check. If it's nitro, the explosive will be carefully moved to a military firing range and detonated. attract a few bees, but they sip the honey and then fly away.

I used to clean the apartments when a tenant moved out. just as "Getting Tired" did. Finally I got tired, too, and quit. He had to hire two men to replace me. My husband neglects his teeth and they are falling out of his mouth. He refuses to see a dentist because "they charge too much." His eyes dre bad but he wears dime store glasses because eye doctors are "too expensive." Our old car is falling apart. Our home is a disgrace to the neigh borhood because it needs painting and repairing. I make all our child's clothes because my husband won't give me money to buy anything. I haven't had a new dress in five years. He claims he loves me, yet he says if 1 don't like the arrange ment I can move out.

Red Booklet Tells How To Survive Fallout MOSCOW (AP) - Come out ofi your shelter after seven days and wash everything, including the family pig and even the fish you cat. That's part of the advice given Soviet citizens who want to sur vive nuclear fallout. It appears in a pamphlet that sells for 10 kopeks about a dime. mere are no indications it is a! best seller. It tells how to build a simple shelter, but there are no exhibits around of such shelters, nor does one run into anyone who1 has seen a shelter. Villagers are advised to use eel lars.

Until it gels inside, the milk can be drunk. Or the cow can be eaten if killed early enough. The pamphlet, one of a scries dealing with air raids and the like, bears the date Dec. 21, I960. No mention is made of Soviet bombs. It says testing "by some imperialist states endangers peo ple even though explosions take place lar from inhabited regions.

Posfcard Girl Sfays In WASHINGTON (AP)-A voung woman whose post card touched off a furor about the Peace Corps in Nigeria, will stay with the corps in Washington. The announcement Friday that Margery Michelmore, 23, would be assigned here came shortly after it was disclosed that Presi clem Kennedy Had written her a brief letter of encouragement. Miss Michelmore of Foxboro. Mass., was among a group of Peace Corps teachers assigned to Nigeria. She wrote a post card describing living conditions in the African country as primitive and apparently dropped it. Nigerian students at lbadan University came in possession of the card and promptly demanded ouster of all corps teachers. Miss Michelmore apologized for the incident, offering to resign, then left Nigeria. In an interview at her home in Foxboro Friday night, Miss Mich elmore said she hoped the post card incident would be forgotten. She said she was disappointed at not being able to continue in Ni geria. "I was fascinated by Nigeria." she said. 'When I joined the Peace Corps. I wanted to go to Nigeria, but I didn't apply sp clfically for it. "I thought it was wonderful when I was assigned there." The letter from Kennedy, pub lished in the Boston Globe Fri day, was dated Oct. 18. It read: "Dear Miss Michelmore: "I want you to know that we are most appreciative of your steadfastness in recent days. We are strongly behind you and hope that you will continue to serve in the Peace Corps. "Sincerely "John F. Kennedy.' V Gradual? . Study Ran Uncovered SALEM (API A proposed Portland area graduate study cen-' ter was unveiled Friday before the governor's advisory commit-', tee to the State Planning and De-, velopment Department.
