By FRANK JENKINS
Tlie big news today?
Let's put it this way?
There isn't anything in it that
people with weak hearts need to
be afraid of.
Perhaps the most interesting
story in today's news concerns
"what is known in the news as
Exercise Big Lift. It will send
14.000 Army tank troops to
West Germany in more than 200
Air Force transports. An ad
vance party of 440 went over
on Saturday.
Heading across the Atlantic
at the same time will be a 116
plane composite air-strike force
numbering about 1500 men. This
strike force will provide air sup
port for the armored tank troops
in maneuvers after the troop lift
is complete.
The purpose of I he exercise
is to show the world that the
United Slates can put a striking
force of 16,000 Army and Air
Force men, with supporting air
craft, into Europe within 72
hours.
Why is that so important?
The BIG THING is that it
promises the outdating of OC
CUPYING armies.
To make it work effectively,
of course, there will have to be
BASES Uiere for the t r o o p s
when they arrive. But the bas
es won't have to be so heavily
manned.
And-
The bases can be largely
manned by our allies in Europe.
This system of AIRLIFTING
military forces could mean that
the time is near when the U.S.,
as the most powerful and the
most advanced nation in t h e
world, will no longer need to
keep a HUGE military establish
ment (at great cost to U.S. tax
payers, and with drastically un
favorable effects on our balance
of payments) in the foreign
countries that are friendly to us
and to our way of life.
The lift, of course, will cost
a lot of money.
But what it will cost is in
finitesimal in comparison with
the cost of keeping big military
forces overseas for years and
years.
So
'You see
Modern progress offers even
opportunities for SAVING MON
EY FOR THE TAXPAYERS. '
That would be something.
More news that doesn't blow
your hat off:
Yugoslavia's Tito is still in the
United States.
He got bitten by a flu bug
and so far hasn't been able to
get OMt to the Far West but
it's barely possible that we
may be able to survive that dis
appointment. He has invilcd our JFK to
come to Yugoslavia for a return
visit, and it isn't improbable
that the invitation will be ac
cepted. Question:
Do you reckon all this inter
national visiting around is worth
what it costs the taxpayers?
It's hard to say.
If such a visit STOPPED A
WAR FROM HAPPENING, it
would be worth while.
' However
It's quite unlikely that 1 h e
U.S. and Yugoslavia will ever
go to war. Yugoslavia is a little
too small for us to jump on un
less the Yugoslavs insulted us
in some unforgivable way and

East Coast Menaced
By Hurricane Ginny
CAPE HATTERAS. N. C.
(UP1 Hurricane Ginny
stalled 100 miles off the North
Carolina coast today and bat
tered a destroyer escort adrift
with 10 persons aboard with
howling winds and 40-to-30-foot
seas.
Winds of about 90 miles per
hour were reported near the cen
ter of the storm, seventh of the
season and the first to threaten
the eastern coast of the United
States.
Hurricane winds of 75 miles
an hour extended out 60 miles
in all directions from the cen
ter of tlie storm, which boiled
up Sunday night and sent gale
winds and high tides crashing
against North Carolina's storied
Outer Banks.
A late Washington .Weather
Bureau advisory located Ginny
about 100 miles southeast of
Cape Hatteras. "' . ' -
In this same vicinity the dis
abled destroyer escort USS Fogg
was adrift after its tow rope
snapped two days ago. Ships
and planes searched through
blinding rain for the stricken
vessel.
"With just 10 men aboard
they're probably just doing their
best to hang onto the rails in
40-to-50 - foot seas," a Coast
Guard rpokesman at Ports
mouth, Va., said.
Storm Moves Slowly
"Hurricane Ginny is expected
to move very slowly during the
next 12 hours, probably towards
the east-northeast about 5 miles
per hour. Intensity should re
main about tlie same during the
next 12 to 24 hours," the Weath
er Bureau said.
Gale force winds raked the
Outer Banks but the hurricane
wise inhabitants of the sand
spits off the North Carolina
coast refused to move out un
til the hurricane took on a
more definite pattern of move
ment. United Press International
staff photographer Joseph Hollo
way Jr. reported from Manteo,
N. C. that strong winds almost
toppled the phone booth from
which he was talking.

Heavy surf pounded the
silvery dunes along the Dare
County coast early today. Wind
gusts up to 70 miles an hour
were reported in the Nags Head
area.
Ship Is Helpless
The Fogg, a decommissioned
destroyer escort, was bouncing
helplessly in the hurricane with
its engines and most of its equip
ment not operating.
Two ships and two airplanes
were in tlie area searching for
the vessel. They were hampered
by the heavy rain which cut
visibility to zero.
Tides from the Virginia Capes
southward along the North Caro
lina coast were expected to con
tinue 2 to 3 feet above normal
today and tonight with some
flooding at time of high tides,
the Weather Bureau said.
Rough . heavy pounding - surf
along the outer coast will con

Red China
Seat Denied
UNITED N A T I O N S, N. Y.
(UPI) The General Assembly
today rejected Albania's bid to
seat Red China in place of the
Chinese Nationalists by a vote
of 57-41 with 12 abstentions.
The margin in favor of retain
ing the Chiang Kai-shek regime
as China's legal U.N. represent
ative was two votes greater
than last year.
The wecklong debate on the
China representation issue
wound up with a new attack on
the United States and National
ist China by Albania, the only
European Communist country
on good terms with the Peking
regime.
The vote was on a resolution
sponsored by Albania and Cam
bodia to oust the Nationalist re
gime and give China's scat to
the Chinese Communists. A
similar resolution, sponsored by
Russia, was defeated last year
by 56-42 vole with 12 absten
tions. . The percentage of members
present and voting in favor of
the Taipei government rose to
57.9 per cent, the strongest ma
jority in the assembly for the
Nationalists since 1939.
Britain. Denmark. Norway
and Sweden joined the solid
Communist support of Red
China's seating, together with a
mixed representation of the Afro-Asian
bloc led by India, In
donesia and Pakistan.

Pure Gospel
Requested
By Bishop
VATICAN CITY (UPD-Ecu-mcnical
Council fathers today
heard an eloquent plea from a
native Afiican bishop against
colonialism under the guise of
religion.
Archbishop Raymond Tchidim
bo of Conakry, Guinea, told the
fathers, "We want only one
thing, tlie pure Gospel. We do
not want to be colonials of any
one but Christ."
The African archbishop pro
tested religious colonialism dur
ing a debate on the place of the
layman in the Catholic Church.
He indicated that international
Catholic organizations often feel
the necessity to try to dominate
the native laymen working for
the church in missionary lands.
The debate followed the first
of a series of votes on reforms
of the breviary, the book from
which priests say their required
daily prayers.
The fathers approved the first
of two amendments to the docu
ment on the breviary, which is
the fourth chapter of a liturgy
draft debated during the coun
cil's opening session last fall.
Today's two amendments,
overwhelmingly approved, dealt
with insertions in the text say
ing that the priestly work of the
church is reflected in daily
prayers and stressing the sim
ilarity between the priests'
prayers and those of Christ.
A liturgy commission mem
ber, Bishop Joseph Martin of
Nicolct, Canada, reported on
the 13 amendments before the
voting and explained the com
mission's efforts "to arrive at
some workable proposal to bring
about reforms in the Divine Of
fice." Voting will continue Tuesday
on the Divine Office, which is
the technical name for the pray
ers in the breviary, when
amendments come up for letting
priests say the prayers in their
own language instead of Latin
and for a general shortening of
the breviary.
Archbishop Tchidimbo spoke
forcefully about the colonial
problem, which he said was not
so much political today as re
ligious in some areas.
He urged Catholic organiza
tions not to develop "dominat
ing attitudes" in directing and
helping the apostolate of a coun
try. The African bishop said times
have changed and native bis
hops have taken over the whole
responsibility for the church in
many areas. They do not wel
come organizations which, under
the guise of bringing help, try
to superimpose their own plans.

Policy Shift Seen
In Troop Airlift
WASHINGTON (UPI)-Opora-tion
Big Lift that begins tonight
is more than just a troop exer

permit reductions in both
American forces and expendi

But predictions now are that

Gilpalric said national de
fense was entering the "new
phase" when shifts could be
made in overseas deployments
without impairing military
strength or support for U.S. Al
lies. Calling attention to Operation
Big Lift, he said the exercise
"will demonstrate our ability to
project our military power far
more quickly over far larger
distances than has ever been
tlie case in the past."
"By employing such a mulli
base capacity, the United States
should be able to make useful
reductions in its heavy over
seas military expenditures," he
declared.
In a question session follow
ing his speech Gilpatric took is
sue with a magazine article by
former President Dwlght D.
Eisenhower saying that one di
vision i n Europe is enough and
that "is inconceivable to me to
day," The trip-wire concept
calls for use of tacticle nuclear
weapons to meet any Soviet at
tack. "For tlie foreseeable future,"
Gilpatric said in his speech,
"the U.S. will maintain both
large overseas deployments and
'Significant capabilities to rein
force such military power with
great rapidity. However, some
shifts in tlie form our military
presence has taken in recent
decades are beginning to be
practicable."
The defense official said that
the United States now has the
ability to deliver large quanti
ties of s u p p o rt abroad
quickly by air and could send
combat planes over oceans "in
no more time than it took pre
viously to deploy planes sta

Troops Roll
On Berlin
BERLIN (UPD-A U.S. Army
convoy rolled over the East
German Autobahn today while
troops of tlie American garri
son in Berlin were called out
on a dawn alert.
Today's convoy was a small
one with only eight men in four
trucks. All were considered
crewmen, not passengers.
The Soviet checkpoint officers
never have tried to make tlie
crews of allied military ve
hicles dismount for a head
count and did not do so today,
an Army spokesman said.
The convoy was the first of
several this week which will
demonstrate tlie U.S. right to
use the 110-mile highway be
tween West Berlin and West
Germany.
Most of the convoys were ex
pected to be small ones in
which the dismounting question
on which the Soviets held up
British and American convoys
recently will not , arise, in
formed sources said.
Hence, any Soviet challenge
on the access routes would
have to be on different grounds.
Allied officials are watching all
convoy movements closely to
see if such a challenge will be
made, these sources said.
Today's convoy drove from
Berlin to West Germany and
passed the Soviet checkpoint at
the West Berlin end of the Auto
bahn in 20 minutes, an Army
spokesman said.
Other U.S. troops were called
out of barracks in full combat
kit at 5 a.m. today.

JFK Policy
SAN BERNARDINO, Calif.
(UPI) Sen. Barry Goldwater,
addressing a National Newspa
per Week observance over tlie
weekend, accused the Kennedy
administration of endangering
the nation's security through
what he called "flagrant news
management."
The Arizona Republican is
sued the accusation at a News
paper Week meeting sponsored
by the San Bernardino Sun
Telegram. He specifically attacked the
administration's handling of the
announcements of four recent
international developments
tlie nuclear test ban treaty, the
deal to sell surplus wheat to
Russia, the United Nations res
olution banning nuclear weap
ons in outer space, and tlie
Geneva disarmament plan.
Terming the U.N. resolu
tion "the most flagrant mis
management of all because It
made us close the door to the
real military use of space," tlie
potential GOP presidential can
didate said U.S. agreement to
any of the four events should
never have been given without
more bargaining to this nation's
advantage.
Goldwater said the American
people would have demanded
changes in all four of these in
ternational developments had
III known abuut them far
enough in advance. But he said
the announcements came ton
late for opposition to be mm.

At a news conference earlier
