Newspaper Page TextIn The- I Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS Grim note in the news: A hard-working mother of six small children was raped and killed early yesterday following a furious struggle in her neat Sun nyvale (California) home. She was Mary Ellen Stackhouso, pret ty 30-year-old wife of a Sloflett Field chief petty officer. She was left by her attacker in the hallway of her home her face battered, her blouse ripped and her throat slashed. A bloody butcher knife from the kitchen lay near the body. In the living room, detectives found a hlond- stained hammer. They theorize that she was in the living room watching TV when the attacker struck Her from behind with the hammer. Question: What will be done with him if he is caught, tried and convict ed? t Will he be put in jail to es cape later, maybe, and try it again? That's at least a thought for California's legislators, who are being importuned to forbid capi tal punishment-Avhich is admit tedly a grim and awful thing. There is only ONE excuse for it. ft puts that kind of people PERMANENTLY out of the way. Let's turn to pleasantcr news. Pan American World Airways announces that it has ordered supersonic (faster than the speed of sound) jet airliners that will fly 1,500 miles per hour and make trans-Atlantic flights in two and a half hours. Which is to say: If you live on the East Coast and have an itching foot and plenty of what it takes and get a yen at breakfast some morn ing to have lunch at the Clar idge in London or the Ritz in, Paris, all you'll have to do is to get to the airport along about a.m. That w ill give you time to make it, if you're lucky in the way of! taxicabs at the airport on the other side. And if the tralficl isn't too bad on your way down town. And- !( you choose Or if you have a dinner appoint ment with friends on this side for that same evening, you can still make it back home in time. This is getting to be quite a work!, isn't it? This new plane WON'T be an other America First. It will be built jointly by Brit ish and French corporations, with the aid of government subsidies. It can land or take off at exist ing airports and will cruise at weather-proof 65.000 to 70,000 feet altitudes some 12 to 13 MILES up in the air. uhn will K do into service? About l'J68 which will give! most of us just about time to save up enough money for the round trip.

(UPIl President Kennedy said today the Cuban crisis last fall demonstrated that military policy and power must be tied closely to political and diplomatic deci sions in the future. "Whatever the military motives and implications of that reckless attempt to place offensive missiles on the island of Cuba may have been, the political and psychologi cal motives and implications were equally important," Kennedy said. Tile chief executive flew to Col orado Springs on the first leg of a five-day Western inspection and speaking trip which the President extended at the last minute to in clude Hawaii. In a commence ment address at the U.S. Air Force Academy Stadium here, Kennedy told the young A i r Force officers that the nation would need military commanders who can foresee the effects of military moves on Die whole fab ric of international power."

The great doors of the world's largest Christian church swung1 open at 8 a.m. 3 a.m.. EDTi and immediately the crowd, made up of ordinary Romans, prelates, tourists and pilgrims, filed into, the basilica whore the body of thej 81-ycar-old pontiff was lying in. state, dressed in regal garments and raised high before the main1 altar. Tlie size of the turnout showed the great warmth felt for the Pope. Twice before there have been crowds of 100.000 in the square before the church once during an own air Mass Monday night as the pontiff lay dying In his Vatican apartment above me square, and again Tuesday when his body was borne in solemn pro. cession to St. Peter's.

"For we live in a world where the principal prob lems are not susceptible of mili tary solutions alone." In his prepared remarks Ken nedy attacked the suggestion that an Air Force career was "mor taged to an obsolete weapons sys tem, the manned aircraft." The President said there was no truth to the forecast that Air Force officers of the future would be "nothing more than so-called 'silent silo sitters.' " Fly Fastest Planes "Some of you will fly the fast est planes, reach the highest alti tudes and lift the heaviest pay loads of any aviator in history," he told the graduates. "Some of you will hold in your hands the most awesome destructive power that man has ever conceived.

The conclave to select the new pontiff, under church rules, must meet 15 to 18 days alter the Pope's death. It was expected to assemble about June 18. All 82 members of tlie College of Cardinals able to attend will remain walled and locked inside a section of the Vatican until the1 secret proceedings end with the naming of the new Pope. Open All Night In an action unprecedented in modern limes, the Vatican or dered the church opened all night tonight to allow tlie crowds to file past the body of the peasant's son who captured the world's af fection and admiration in his reign of scarcely four and one half years. The Poe's body will remain on view continuously until 5 p.m. (12 p.m., EDTI Thursday. Then Vatican guards will clear all outsiders from the basilica and the Pope's remains will be inter red temporarily in a vault in the ancient grottoes below the church.

And some of you will help to develop new planes that spread their wings in flight, detect other planes at unheard of distances, deliver new weapons with unprec edented accuracy and survey the ground from incredible Mights. Thus the President pictured what he called the "onrush of technology" which he predicted would lead to a constantly ex panding role for the U.S. Air Force. Kennedy also said the greatest value of "these new weapons of massive retaliation" lay in their ability to deter the very war which would require their use. Importance Not Diminished But he pointed out that the de torrent factor did not diminish the importance of new devices as weapons. "Nor will national security in the years ahead be achieved sim ply by piling up bigger stocks of bombs or burying our missiles under bigger piles of concrete, the President added. "For in an imperfect world where human failures and follies have too often been the rule in stead of the exception the surest way to bring on 'the war that cannot happen" is to sit back and assure ourselves that it cannot happen." The President said the exist ence of mutual nuclear deterrents could not be shrugged off as a mere stalemate. "For our national security, in a period of rapid change, w ill de iiend on constant reappraisal of accepted doctrine, on alertness to new developments, on imagination and resourcefulness and new ideas." he said. After his speech the President toured the academj and then went to the North American Air Defense Command Headquarters for a classified briefing before leaving for the White Sands, N.M., missile range.

Hosmer Fights lu,., J rWWCI lYICUSUI C WASHINGTON (UPD - Rep. Craig Hosmer, R-Calif., served notice Tuesday that he would seek to ridicule the Pacilic Northwest power preference bill to death. Hosmer announced he would of fer 50 amendments to the bill including eflorts to change its title to such "accurately descrip tive" terms as tlie "sacred cow act" and the "Pacilic Northwest charity act." The California Republican and Rep. John P. Saylor, R-Pa., have sought lo delay action on the bill designed to pave the way for con struction of high-vollagc trans mission lines to carry surplus power from Columbia River dams to California. Tlie bill would give the Pacific Northwest, including private cus tomers, lirit call on firm power produced at federal dams in the region. This, Hosmer contended would give the region super preference" over California cus tomers. the latter program is less than its share to tlie state.

The last general strike was in 1954. A spokesman for the Big Six said no action was planned im mediately to meet the strike. However, he said that tlie mem bers would meet today to plan a course of action. He said it was not known if a lock - out was planned by the four members of the management group not being struck. About 6,000 workers in both un ions were involved in the strike. The 1WA was striking U.S. Ply wood operations in Reedsport, Eu gene, Uoseburg, Willamina and Mapleton in Oregon and Seattle, Wash.; and St. Regis operations in Olympia and two at Tacoma, Wash. The LSW was striking U.S. Ply wood at Lebanon, Ore., and Red ding, Calif., and St. Regis at Morton and Seattle, Wash. Nelson said Tuesday that he had little hope for a quick settlement.

"This is the third time in the 29 years of bargaining history be tween the parties that a final of fer of the employers has been re jected," he said.
