Fulbright's Idea To Give VC Peace Role Stirs Capitol (Continued from Page One) LAUDERDALE NEWS, Jan. 25, 1966 tiations and that it is one of those things that is not wrong to leave to the judgment of the people in the executive branch." Case referred to President Johnson's State of the Union address nearly two weeks ago. The President said the United Slow Jury Selection Irks Judge (Continued from Page One) of "misstating and misrepresenting the law." He objected to the state attorney "instructing the jury in law." When Gerstein explained he was "attempting to do SO briefly," Foreman still would not let him alone. "It's entirely too brief to suit me," he declared, grinning appreciatively as spectators chuckled over Gerstein's discomfort. He broke up Gerstein's examination of prospective jurors with, "I object His question is not only duplicious it's triplicious.

It's three questions in one. GERSTEIN CRITICAL Time and again, Foreman rose slowly, and painfully to his drawing himself up to his full 6 feet, 4 inch height, as watchful as ever, despite recurring pain from an old back injury. Gerstein also got in his points. "Nobody but a Philadelphia lawyer could understand that!" he exploded, after one of Foreman's meticulously worded, lenghy questions to the jury box. And still another time, Foreman, equally vehement, told Judge Schulz, "I'm tired of the state attorney telling me how to ask my questions." "We're all very cognizant of the great experience of counsel, was Gerstein's sarcastic reply.

"The insinuations and innuendo implied by Mr. Gerstein's last remark are not to be considered by the jury," Foreman commented wryly. Foreman is a man but with one objective to get the best deal for his client. A prospective Juror, A. Lain Ketcham, 63, told Foreman he is a retired elevator supervisor whose "outside interests" are now limited to playing the horses.

Foreman looked at him slyly. "Would this period of time you'd be devoting to court as a juror for this trial seriously inconvenience you?" he asked. Tomorrow's court session will recess at noon, Judge Schulz said. Funeral services are to be held tomorrow afternoon for Circuit Judge Pat Cannon, who died at his home Sunday. Gitmo Cuban Jobholder Is Outcast (Continued from Page One) and children in the world of want.

He's getting pot-bellied. He wolfs down all the Navy chow he can get. He does not eat. at home so that his family can have his food rations. Jose and his 300 Cuban coworkers share the working day on the base with other Cubans--about 400 exiles.

The two camps regard each other warily. An anti-government word travels fast to Cuban village police. Exiles with loved ones behind fear retaliation. Jose seldom mixes with neighbors. A gusano's life is not a pleasant one in the village.

Trouble with a neighbor could cost him his job. There are troublemakers, even some wearing uniforms. More than 2,000 Cubans were "fired" by the U.S. Navy during the water crisis. Jose was checked out and found to the United States.

He carries this loyalty like a He and his family stay to themselves. A bottle of rum and his backyard help. But the frustrations gnaw. On $40 a week a Cuban should be able to buy tires for his car. Jose did not mention Castro's name during an interview.

Neither did he talk for or against his government. But he talked of the tires he wants as though they were a symbol. "Someday I'll get them," he said. Filibuster Is Threat Mansfield May Use Trick In 14B Fight is ready to discuss and consider "the views of any group." The reference was broad enough to include the National Liberation Front, political arm of the Viet Cong guerrillas. Mr.

Johnson had said previously this issue could be resolved. MORSE GIVES VIEWS Sen. Wayne Morse, outspoken critic of administration policy in Viet Nam, agreed with Fulbright. Morse said in a telephone interview, "There is, in my judgment, no hope for any peaceful settlement in South Viet Nam until the United States is ready to negotiate with the Viet Cong in the South and the North in the north. They are two separate, distinct groups." Reps.

F. Edward Hebert, D- and Clement J. Zablocki, denounced any possibility of negotiating with the Viet Cong as a major party, 'BUNCH OF BANDITS' Hebert, a member of the House Armed Services Committee, called the Viet Cong "just a bunch of bandits." He said "I don't feel the VC are in this picture at all. The representative government is the Hanoi government, and all dealings should be with Zablocki, a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said "We don't recognize them as the representative group. They were not elected to the office.

"I would subscribe to the policy of Mr. Johnson that dealings must be with Hanoi, and if Hanoi chooses to bring in any other parties such as representatives of the Viet Cong or Peking, that is up to NEWS TO FORD House Republican Leader Gerald R. Ford said he wasn't aware that Viet Cong representation was a problem. He said the only stumbling block to negotiations of which he was aware was an apparent lack of response from Hanoi to recent peace feelers by the United States. "The President on down has not identified any stumbling block this sort." Ford said.

"Maybe Fulbright has some additional information that don't Asked about the lull in the bombing of North Viet Nam targets, Fulbright said: FAVORS BOMB LULL "I think the resumption of the bombing would mean that we have given any hope of a settlement and 'n, (the war)) would proceed to higher, ever-increasing escalation." Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey, speaking last night at a Democratic party function in New York, said the Communists had tried unsuccessfully to undermine the U. S. peace effort. "By their refusal to come to come to the conference table they have exposed their war.

like, aggressive ambitions," Humphrey said. GROUP HEARS GENERAL Meanwhile, senators get the Navy, Marine and Air Force view of the Viet Nam war today after hearing. Army chief of staff Johnson outline the possibilities of the war exploding into a much broader conflict. And, on the House side of the Capitol, Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara continues his marathon testimony to congressional committees.

Sen. Richard B. Russell, D- chairman of the Armed Services Committee, said Gen. Johnson concluded his appraisal in secret testimony yesterday before senators weighing the administration's request for $12.76 billion in additional Viet Nam funds this year. Johnson, Russell said, found "the over-all military situation had improved somewhat over what it was a year Johnson gave much of the credit to "the morale of the Vietnamese people, which has improved Russell said.

Jet Crashes In Straits KEY WEST. (UPI) A supersonic Air Force F102 jet fighter plane exploded and crashed into the Florida Straits before dawn today just after takeoff from Boca Chica Naval Air Station here. Navy officials said the pilot was the only occupant of the plane, which went down about three and a half miles east of the air base. The pilot's fate was not known and he was not immediately identified. The Navy said that the plane exploded in air" but it did not know the Icause.

WASHINGTON. (P) Senate Democratic leader Mike Mansfield may use a parliamentary devise today in an effort to steer a union shop proposal past a filibuster threat and onto the Senate floor. The proposal would repeal the which authorizes states to outHartley Act's, section 14B law union shop contracts. Such contracts require all employes covered to join a union. Mansfield renewed the 14B battle yesterday.

Republican leader Everett M. Dirksen who directed a successful filibuster against a similar move last October, launched at once a two-hour, 16 minute speech against Mansfield's motion to bring the repealer before the Senate. BENNETT NEXT Dirksen was followed by Sen. Wallace F. Bennett, R-Utah, who talked for an hour and three minutes until the Senate quit.

But Mansfield took the unusual step of adjourning the Senate last night instead of recessing as is the normal procedure when there is continuing business. This had the effect of displacing his own motion to bring up 14B. up a two-hour "morning hour" period when the Senate convened today. In that period, set aside by Senate rules for transaction of normally routine business, Mansfield can make a nondebatable motion to bring the 14B repealer before the Senate if he can get recognition. IMMEDIATE VOTE Such a motion would be subject to an immediate vote.

Dirksen's task will be to see that Mansfield does not get the opportunity to make the motion. He plans to do that by requiring that the journal of the previous day's proceedings be read and by other dilatory moves. Once the two hours have elapsed Mansfield can renew his motion to consider the bill. But then it again will be debatable and the filibuster can go on. Most Yanks To Fly Home From Cuba HAVANA.

(Reuter) The majority of American citizens living in Cuba will be airlifted home soon at their own request, authoritative sources here have indicated. Close Cuban relatives will be allowed to accompany them on the direct flight to Miami, they added. Between 400 and 500 of the 600 U.S. citizens living here were expected to take advantage of the arrangements, a sideline development of the agreement reached between Cuba and the U.S. last November for an American-operated airlift to Miami of Cuban citizens wishing to leave their country.

SNAIL PACE Recently Cubans and Americans alike had to wait for the snail pace exit procedure by twice weekly flights to Mexico. The Americans, some of whom are children born in the U.S. to Cubans living there at the time, will leave by American planes. It was hoped to begin the airlift Feb. 5.

Mansfield, in starting the fight yesterday, said, "I anticipate a great deal of difficulty perhaps, tell in insurmountable, reaching only the point of discussion of the merits of this bill." Dirksen, sipping milk throughout his speech, said, "I have no choice but to adopt whatever weapons are available under Senate rules to prevent what I believe to be offensive legislation." The House passed the repeal bill last July, 221 to 203.

Funeral Home. WASHINGTON (UPI) fense Secretary Robert S. McNamara went before Congress today to defend the logic of his plan to give more weight to the missile as a defense weapon and less to the long range bomber. Listening to his argument was a House armed services subcommittee which was opening hearings on the proposal. "We conceived have ideas absolutely about no Rep.

Edward Hebert, D- chairman of the panel, said. "We are simply going to ask the secretary to justify it for us." What McNaara has to justify is a plan he announced in December. He said then that between now and 1971 the nation's fleet of 80 supersonic B58 bombers and 345 aging B52's would be scrapped. Kashmir Pullout Started NEW DELHI. India.

(P) India and Pakistan began pullling their troops back today four sectors along the cease-fire line as provided in the Tashkent agreement. The agreement signed earlier this month in Tashkent, Russia, by the late Indian Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri and Pakistani President Ayub Khan calls for troop withdrawal all along the line by Feb. 25. An Indian spokesman said the process has started as scheduled in the Chaumb sector Southwest Kashmir, Sialkot in West Pakistan, in the LahoreIndia's area, and in Rajasthan State. PULLBACK PLANS Under the withdrawal program worked out Saturday by army commanders of both na-.

tions, troops of each side were to pull back 1,000 yards from the line in the four areas. Along Pakistan's Ichhogil Canal, which helped stop Indian tanks in the September war, frontline units were required to withdraw only 200 yards. The agreement did not specify how far troops must pull back in hilly areas where India punched deep salients into the Pakistaniheld part of disputed Kashmir. Local commanders in such areas were to work out the disengagement with the help of U.N. observers if necessary.

U.N. officers have patrolled cease-fire line in Kashmir since 1949 and have patrolled the line between India and Pakistan since the recent hostilities endled Sept. 23. almost no contact with the insurgents, and a government spokesman said the allied forces have "completely lost" the North Vietnamese regiments known to have been in the country since before Christmas. The Viet Cong, in their first major action since the lunar New Year truce, made an intensive before dawn 15-minute the mortar U.S.

attack, on base at Da Nang, 380 miles northeast of Saigon. Three Americans and two Vietnamese were killed, and 11 Americans and 14 Vietnamese were wounded. The barrage of 42 rounds missed a half dozen jet fighterbombers parked on the strip but damaged several vehicles and a mobile crane. NEW THREAT The shells included big 120mm mortars, 35-pounders only recently reported in the Communist arsenal. Nine of these miniature blockbusters, which are fired from equipment weighing about 1,800 pounds, landed near a Hawk antiaircraft missile site.

A hit on a missile site would have been regarded as a major propaganda achievement for the guerrillas. U.S. military sources said the 120mm mortar presented a new threat to the base because of their range, about four miles. The Viet Cong have used 60mm and 81mm mortars in similar attacks. The guerrillas apparently slipped through the base's outlying defenses in the darkness.

They ended the attack when the Marines began counter mortar barrage, firing more than 100 81mm shells at the suspected enemy positions. "The Viet Cong never fired a round after we started." said Maj. King D. Thatenhurst of the Twentynine Palms, executive officer of the 1st Marine Battalion. The Vietnamese war report for the past 24 hours listed only 20 minor harassments and one act of terrorism, the murder of a village councilman in the Thu district just outside Saigon.

LahoreIndia's BOSTON. (PA South African freighter moved slowly toward land today after it became immobilized in stormy seas and To replace them McNamara would build a defense force centering on an arsenal of missiles and 210 new FB-111 aircraft. But some congressmen have said they don't like the implications of the plan. They claim that the appears to be toward complete reliance on missiles instead of both missiles and bombers. For McNamara, today's appearance on Capitol Hill was just another in a long series.

He spent most of last week and yesterday testifying before two Senate committees on President Johnson's $12.3, supplemenItal defense request for Viet Nam. He is due back before them next Tuesday. BACK TOMORROW Yesterday the defense chief appeared before a House-Senate economic subcommittee on the progress of his cost reduction program. Tomorrow he is scheduled back for another House appearance. McNamara told the joint economic subcommittee that some shortages were bound to occur for U.S.

forces in South Viet Nam. But he denied they were affecting combat operations. who has had experience with large supply systems knows that somewhere, sometime, something will be lackhe said. He added that no matter how much is spent for defense, "someone in our far flung organization will be short some item at a particular time." George E. Sprackline DEERFIELD BEACH George E.
