1m The-
Day's km
By FRANK JENKINS
From Washington:
Secretary of Defense Robert S
McNamara has told senators he
believes ONLY HARM can come
from their stormy investigation
of the TFX warplane contract
award.
He added:
'There is a lot of harm that
will accrue from this investiga
tion. 1 can not see ANY good
that will accrue from it."
If you are an average, every
day citizen, not too familiar with
the technicalities of politics and
legislation, you may wonder what
this TFX business is all about
Let's see if we can offer a little
clarification.
TFX is one of those fancy al
phabet terms that Washington is
so fond of. It means TACTICAL
FIGHTER, EXPERIMENTAL.
This TFX is a fighter plane so
designed as to be usable by ALL
the branches of our armed serv
ices.
The idea back of it is that such
a plane would save an immense
amount of money and if properly
designed and built would be just
as effective as SPECIAL planes
built or each service.
It's obviously a good idea if
such a plane can be produced.
So
Proposals to design and build
such a plane were invited. Two
proposals were received. One
was from the General Dynamic
Corp., of Fort Worth, Texas. The
other was from the Boeing Co.,
of Seattle. .
After an exhaustive investiga
tion, the job was awarded to the
General Dynamics Corp.
That's where the ruckus start
ed. It is a $6.5 BILLION job.
That's a lot of money. It
. represents an IMMENSE indus
trial development.
The General Dynamics Corp.
plant at which the planes will be
built is located at Fort Worth,
Texas. The Boeing Co. has plants
at Seattle and at Wichita, Kan
sas. Boeing had announced that
if it won the contract it would
build the planes at its Wichita
plant. Presumably, its Seattle
plant would have benefited ma
teriallyby the making of parts,
and otherwise.
Naturally, Texas was acutely
interested in getting an industrial
development of such magnitude.
So ... in the accepted Ameri
can manner ... it called on
its delegations in Washington to
give their utmost to get the $6.5
billion job for their state.
Both Washington and Kansas
were equally interested in getting
the job for their states. So the
Washington and Kansas delega
tions in congress came into the
battle in a big way.
H was an epochal fight.
Defense Secretary McNamara
was the umpire.
He ruled for Texas and the
General Dynamics Corp.
As every baseball fan knows,
the umpire has a tough job. .
Secretary McNamara had a
tough job. He is quoted as hav
ing said to the chairman of the
senate sub-committee that held
the final hearing and made the
final decision:
"Last night when I got home
at midnight, after preparing for
today's hearing, my wife told me
that my own 12-year-old son had
asked her how long it would take
for his father to prove his hon
esty." So there's the story of this TFX
ruckus that has been filling the
papers and clogging the air waves
for all these weeks.
It's quite a story, isn't it?
Job Riots
Seen Threat
LONDON i LTD The fester
ing unemployment problem, which
set off a riot at the houses of
Parliament, loomed today as a
major threat to Prime Minister
Harold Macmillan's government.
The riot by an estimated 5.000
unemployed Tuesday brought
new demands from the opposition
Labor party that Macmillan take
firm action to case the problem.
The Times of London called the
storming of the government build
ings "the wildest, most deter
mined demonstration" outside
Parliament since World War II.
The Daily Mail said it was the
"biggest threat to Parliament"
since the anti-Catholic rjots in
1780.
Nine men were arrested and
more than a score were injured
alter squads of 500 policemen
broke up the riot and forced the
demonstrators back out through
St. Stephen's Gate, the main en
trance to the houses of Parlia
ment. The trouble underlined one of
Macmillan's major problems in a
long list of issues that has had
his (tovernment reeling for the
past five months.

Swiss Typhoid Fever

ZERMATT, Switzerland (UPI)1
The typhoid fever epidemic that
broke out in this Alpine resort

The epidemic has made a vir

individual travelers have carried
the disease to many other West
ern European countries and to the
United states.
Two such cases were reported
in St. Moritz, the ski resort in
the Engadine Mountains in the
eastern part of Switzerland. A
third case is under study to see
if it is typhoid and a fourth case
was proved to be another disease,
St. Moritz Health Officer Dr. Ru
dolf von Plants said.
Two more suspected cases were
admitted today to the temporary
hospital set up in Zermatt's school
bringing the number there to 43.
An army spokesman predicted
about "half a dozen'; others would

Living Costs Jump
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Living
costs tied an all-time high in Feb
ruary as prices (or citrus fruits
and fresh vegetables continued to
climb, the Labor Department re
ported today.
The department said the price
index rose by one-tenth of 1 per
cent last month. That put it at
106.1, a figure reached only one
time previously. That was last
September.
The department's Bureau of La
bor Statistics said higher prices
for apparel also contributed to the
increase in living costs.
The index was 1.2 per cent
above a year ago.

Reapportion Plans
The plan proposed by the Con -
stitutional Revision Commission
would do away with the necessity
of drawing all districts along
county boundary lines, making it
easier to shape districts so that
there would be the same number
of voters per legislator
It would permit a variance in
voler strenglh no greater than 2-1.
The Bi-Partisan League to Re
lain Equal Representation would
go even further, tightening up the
criteria for districts so that one
voter's strenglh could not ex
ceed another's by more than 1-10.

A dozen physicians were ready

saio ui include a weak heart, a
bad liver, a blood condition and
asthma. An oxygen tent was

pray in the corridors of the hotel
where he has reserved an entire

MOSCOW (UPD The Soviet;
Union today lodged a formal pro-;
lost with the United States against
Ihe "piratical attack" by Cuban
exiles on a Russian ship at a
Cuban port last week.
The official Soviet Tass news
agency said tlie note charged the
ittack look place March 17
against the Soviet ship Lgov at
the Cuban port of lsabela de
Sagua.
It said that Cuban rebels, whom
Ihe Communists call "counter
revolutionaries," approached the
ship in a launch and fired several
bursts from a heavy machine
gun.
At the time, spokesmen for the
Cuban exile group known as "Sec
ond Escambray Front Alpha 66"
claimed credit for the attack
against the Soviet ship, but said
it occurred about dawn March 18.
(President Kennedy said at his
news conlerence last week that
such attacks could cause more
harm than good.)
The note forwarded to the U.S
Embassy here said the govern
meat of the U.S.S.R. expects "the
government of the United States
to take resolute measures for pre
venting similar provocative actsi
in future," according to Tass.
The Soviet note said that with-1
out the U.S. government's "ma
terial support" and the supply of
American weapons and ships,
"the handful of traitors" to Ihe
Cuban people who have taken
refuge on the territory of the
United Slates could not have en
gaged in provocations of this kind.

the United States is in fact lead
