U.S; Navy Takes Issue With Critics In Britain WASHINGTON' (UPIl - Navy sources agreed today that the U.S. fleet needs modernizing, but they took issue with the pessimistic status report issued by Britain's authoritative Jane's Fighting Ships. In the latest edition of the fa mous reference work, out today, editor Raymond V. 8. Black man said the United States has too much World War II naval deadwood and must modernize its fleet to counter the chal-. lenge from the Soviet Union. Blaekman said the Russians al ready possess the most power ful submarine force in the world. But U.S. authorities believe their comparisons with Russia are more favorable to the Unit ed States than tliose presented by Jane's.

KERNS 734 So. 6th En-uimmiiM n TU 4-4197 As far as surface vessels are concerned, Jane's credits the Soviet Navy with a "new look" aimed ac global influence, al though the Russians have no aircraft carriers and as far as is known are not planning to build any, U.S. sources say. Partisans of the carrier be lieve the American flat-tops led by the huge, nuclear - powered Enterprise, are the basis of all modern surface power. Any Navy lacking them, they say, is limited to operations close to its own shores. Jane's claims that the Soviets have 25 nuclear-powered subma rines and are threatening U.S. superiority in that category. U.S. intelligence credits the Russians only with "12 or more" nuclear subs, compared to 33 already on duty with the American fleet and 42 others built, building or authorized in the Navy's construction pro gram. Navy sources also took issue with Jane's figure for the U.S. fleet of "3.250 vessels, largely composed of older tonnage." They said that to arrive at such a large figure Jane's must have included landing craft and other relatively small boats. The Navy figures it has 850 vessels in service, more than half cf them of World War II vintage, with another 650 ships in mothballs. All of those in the reserve fleet are older types.

McLarry, 21, a student in a night college at Port Worth, Tax., was ar rested Thursday by FBI agents for allegedly making throats on the life of the late President Kennedy. Young McLarry said he would have liked to see Kennedy im peached, but called the threat a joke. UPI Telephoto Threat On Kennedy's Life Only Joke, Texan Claims FORT YORTH,.Te.. (UPD The Secret Service charged Rus sell M. McLarry, 21, a night college student, Thursday with threatening to kill President Kennedy. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas Nov. 22, allegedly by Lee Harvey Oswald. There was no suggestion of a connection be tween McLarry and Oswald. The Secret Service said Mc Larry made the threat "on or about Nov. 21," the day before the President's visit. The charge, filed in the U.S. District Court clerk's office, said McLarry "made certain threats to take the life of and inflict bodily harm to John Ken nedy, then the President of the United States." "He said he would be work ing near the Trade Mart in Dal las when the President spoke and he would be waiting with a gun to get him," the charge said. federal agents also have been investigating scurrilous pamph lets found on the Arlington State campus Nov. 21. Walker Sees Conspiracy Behind Killing Of Oswald HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls. Ore. Friday. December 20. 1963 PAGE JA Fleet Of Limousines 'Amputated' By Johnson KANSAS CITY, Mo. (UPI) -Former Maj. Gen. Edwin A. Walker said Thursday Lee Harvey Oswald, accused of as sassinating President Kennedy, was slain "to erase a Marxist Communist conspiracy." Walker told newsmen "many things" led him to his opinion about why Oswald died. But Walker, to support his claim would point out only that Oswald was about three blocks from the home of nightclub op erator Jack Ruby minutes after the assassination. Ruby shot Os wald to death two days after Kennedy was killed. Walker, who was relieved of his division command in Ger many because of alleged politi cal indoctrination of troops, said he thought it was Oswald who fired a shot at him through the window of his Dallas home ear lier this year. An FBI report given lo Dallas police concluded it was ballistic-ally impossible to tell if the same rifle was used to fire at Walker and the President. "What it says is that the bul let could or could not have been fired from the same rifle," Dal las Detective Chief M. W. Stev enson said Thursday night. "In other words, it's inconclusive." The bullet fired into Walker's home was badly distorted, hav ing smashed through a window frame and into a wall. It was reported that Oswald's widow, Marina, told federal of ficers that her husband boasted to her that he was the sniper who fired on Walker. "The (Walker) case is slill open," Dallas Detective Captain O. A. Jones said. "Based on all the Information that has come out about this." Walker said, "I would say it is conclusive" that Oswald fired the shot. Walker said no federal Inves tigators had contacted him about the shot fired at him, about Kennedy's assassination or about Oswald or Ruby. Walker was here to partici pate in taking a deposition from a newsman involved in a libel suit the former general has brought against the Associated Press and several newspapers. The libel action grew out of re porting of his activities during the integration riots at the Uni versity of Mississippi. FIRE DEATHS According lo a U.S. national group of fire underwriters, 11, 800 persons died in fires during 1962 and property damage dol lar losses rose to more than $1 billion. Ph.

J.W.COPELAND Lumber Yard 66 Main, K. Foils Chiloquln WASHINGTON l'Pl - The Budget Bureau said it was a cutback but to Washington's status-conscious bureaucrats it was more of an amputation their cherished limousines had to go. The bureau, as part of Presi dent Johnson's economy drive, issued an order Thursday that would eientually eliminate 75 per cent of Hie limousines and other "prestige" cars now be ing operated by civilian and military agencies around t h e world. "The whole effect of this is to get these status symbols off the street," one official said. The number of limousines and what the government calls "heavy se dans" in the capital is scheduled to shrink from the present total of 131 to 20. Hie total now in use around the world is 491. Under the new ruling this will be reduced to about 136. The order has no ef fect on limousines provided by Congress, which is quite gener ous w ith them, nor those in use by the White House. But otherwise the cutbacks appeared to out across t h e board. Under the new system, tlie brass-studded Defense De partment will be allowed ten limousines, the State Depart ment will have two, and the other cabinet departments will be limited to one apiece. A Budget (Bureau spokesman said tlie Pentagon cars are for the secretary of defense and his deputy, the secretaries of t h e three armed services, and the chairman and four members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The directive dooms t h e "heavy sedan" in Washington. This refers to the cars below the limousine level Lincoln continentals, Chrysler Imperials and Cadillacs w itiiout the glass partition that distinguishes a limousine. Federal agencies wril be re quired to replace them w ith me dium or light sedans in 12 months or less, if the replace ment price docs not exceed the resale price of the car now in use. Tlie same rule will apply to limousines beyond the new max iminn of 20. Tlie directive also forbids re newal of leases on limousines and heavy sedans if they are not justified under the new stan dards. More than 15 per cent of tliese cars are rented. Overseas, the Budget Bureau said, ambassadors or chiefs of major missions will be al lowed a limousine if their re sponsibilities require a car of that class. Otherwise, a heavy sedan will be permitted. Consu lar posts and Agency for Inter national Development (AID) missions will be entitled to a heavy sedan and other diplo matic or military posts abroad will be limited to a medium se dan unless they can specifically justify the need for a prestige car. Translating government jar gon, a medium sedan Is a me dium priced car and a light se dan is a cheap car.
