Soviets Plan
More Cuts
In Military
MOSCOW lUPD Tlie Soviet
Union, which has announced a
$AA0 million cutback in military
spending over the next two
years, said today that the possi
bility of "some further reduc
tion" in the strength of its
armed forces is being contem
plated. The disclosure as made by
Pravda, the Communist party
newspaper, as discussion contin
ued in the Supreme Soviet on
the budget and economic plan
for IHR4 and 1965.
The military spending cuts
were announced to the Supreme
Soviet Monday. Tliey are part
of the steps Premier Nikita S.
Khrushchev is taking to provide
funds for his W6 billion program
to treble the capacity of the
chemical industry in the next
seven years. He hopes to use
the increased production of
chemical fertilizers to solve his
farm crisis.
Pravda charged the United
States was trying to "aggravate
tension and worsen the atmos
phere around Cuba" and repeat
ed its warnings that "revolu
tionary Cuba will not remain
defenseless if attacked by ag
gressors." But at the same lime, the
newspaper called fur pcacclul
coexistence between the capital
ist and Communist world.
"The U SS R, not only calls
for a bigger effort aimed at im
proving the international cli
mate." it said. "It seals its
readiness for this by important
practical deeds.

DURHAM. SC. 1 CPU -Blonde
little Vicki Wray won a
second Christmas and a re
prieve from total blindness
Tuesday. But her parents re
ceived the greatest gift hope.
Doctors at the Duke Univer
sity Medical Center said there
was a slight possibility the two-year-old
girl may not have to
undergo an operation for tlie
removal of her remaining eye.
Vicki's left eye has been sub
jected to high intensity radia
tion and chemical agents in an
effort to stop the spread of can
cer, which cost her her right
eye last July.
"The treatment has in some
cases preserved both the vision
and cured the cancer." a medi
cal center spokesman said.
'"But we would not want to
speculate at this lime" about
Vicki's case.
Doctors did promise the girl's
father, Robert Wray. a $50-a-week
textile worker from Boil
ing Green. S.C.. they would not
perform the operation, if it is
necessary, until after Christmas.

By Prosecution Witness
Mrs. Ada Thompson of Beatty
testified today in the murder
trial of Archibald Foster. 26, of
Salem that she saw Foster with
a rifle just before Mrs. Rich
ard Biss was shot April 22. but
didn't see tlie actual shooting.
"I saw him pick the gun up
and 1 didn't think that would
happen," she said.
Mrs. Thompson said the in
cident occurred in front of her
house and she had been looking
out a window. But. she said,
the shot rang out just as she
straightened up and she didn't
see the actual shooting.
She placed the time of the
shooting at be.'ore 3 p.m. April
22. The prosecution has contend
ed it occurred in tlie afternoon,
but the defense has sought to
place the time of death at 10
p.m.
Mrs. Thompson said that aft
er the shot she looked back
through the window and saw an
other man, James Godow a, run
ning up a nearby hill with the
rifle.
She pointed out her house, the
road in front of it. the window
she looked through and the hill
in two slides projected upon a
screen in court.
On cross-examination, t h e
defense altornev drew from
Mrs. Thompson the statement
that at the time of the shooting
Mrs. Biss was sitting in t h e
right side of the rear seat of
her car. The body was later
found on tlie left side of the
seat.
The attorney asked Mrs.
Thompson;
"How can she be shot in the
right side o.r the face if she
was shot from the left side of
the car?

As the group moved single file
to their seats, the Klamath High
School Band started up a
sprightly tune from among a
tiny gathering of civilians and
three squadrons of airmen and
an honor guard standing in for

Moments later the leader of
the honor guard snapped a com
mand and the drill team exhib
ited a series of complicated
marching maneuvers, before fi
nally returning to their positions
next to the squadrons of air

"Isn't it true that when you
saw Eunice Biss she was parsed
out and locking forward?"
She answered;
"So, I guess 1 didn't see her
move."
The attorney further q u e s
tioned the woman about tlie re
lationship of tlie persons in
volved and proposed that Fos
ter didn't know Mrs. Biss well
while the other man, Godowa,
was a close friend and "drink
ing companion."
Mrs. Thompson testified that
the rifle appeared in Foster s
hands after he had had an ar
gument with Wilma Williams.'
