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.

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.

THREATENED KENNEDY Russell W. 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.

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.
