In 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

weather-proof 65.000 to 70,000 feet
altitudes some 12 to 13 MILES

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.
(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

Kennedy told the young A i r

would need military commanders

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

he told the graduates. "Some of

dinals discussed the nine days of
official funeral services that will
follow the entombment Thursday.
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.
Tlie body will be removed for
permanent burial in the Basilica
of St. John Latoran
The new levy is W,343."4 more
than the figure for last year and
means that the county taxpayer
will pay about six per cent more
in property tax than he did fnr
the period of 19t;2.

same for this yean the owner of
a house valued at $10.0(10 would
pay about $214 in taxes on his
dwelling this jear, compared to
$212 last year.
The new budcet is within the
six per cent limitation again, so
no special tax levy will be re
quired. It will nnl be sicned by
.the County Court until after a pub

with the oldest techniques of the
jungle.
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.
From Colorado Springs the
President planned to go to New
