2 -k tHE KANSAS CITY STAR, MONDAY, AUGUST 17, 1964 NATO CUT 1 Withdrawal of "Necessary Army, Naval, and Air Units" to Meet 'Turkish Threat" on Cyprus Is Announced Fear for U. N. Diplomat With Clot on Brain (Continued From Page 1.) suffered what was described as a light cerebral stroke. Informed sources said Thant, U. N.

secretary-general now must name a successor to Tuomioja in the negotiations for a Cyprus compromise. The sources said Tuomiojas work would be taken over provisionally by Galo Plaza Lasso of Ecuador, U. Thant's special representative in Cyprus. the viaduct and are making In excess of $100 to $150 a week and their children are the recipients of welfare aid." He said some deserters were told by their lawyers, Nothing can or will be done. Spencer said there is plenty of room in the Jackson County jail for those deserters who might continue to refuse to make support payments.

The assistant prosecutor said that in seeking warrants he will present records to magistrate courts showing that the defendants have violated court orders. Gepford said recently his office last year received 1,200 to 1,500 requests to obtain support from fathers out of the state. Gepford has pledged to seek legislation in the next session of the Missouri General Assembly that would permit the prosecutors office to file felony charges against deserters. The offense is a misdemeanor now. A DENAUER ON VACATION Cadenabbia, Italy (AP) Konrad Adenauer, former West German chancellor, came here today on vacation, but said it would be a working holiday.

He is busy writing his memoirs. DESERTERS TO BE EXTRADITED (Continued From Page 1.) heartened by an offer of Sheriff Arvid Owsley to provide manpower in extraditing the defendants. He said he planned to consult with Owsley when the sheriff returns from a vacation. Id like to be able to drop everything and bring back 15 a day, Spencer said. Were going to begin a strong crackdown within the next month.

When we start the first wave of warrants against these men, I believe the others will come in and do what they are supposed to do for their families. A lot of these men will not want to give up their good jobs. Owsley has said that the cost of extraditing defendants across the Kaw would be negligible. Spencer said a tremendous amount of welfare money is paid to families of fathers who refuse to make support payments. To Trim the Rolls We can eliminate many families from welfare rolls by making the fathers live up to their responsibilities, he said.

Only one defendant has been extradited to Jackson County for trial for the crime of nonsupport in the last six years. In a report to Lawrence F. Gepford, Jackson County prosecutor, in May, 1963, Spencer called the deserters untouchables. Today he said he no longer considers such deserters untouchable. I think weve got the support to go get them, he said.

In his report to Gepford, Spencer said some of the deserters in Kansas City, Kansas, cursed him when he has tried to arrange a conference about their refusal to make support payments. Across the Viaduct Many defendants, the report said, are living just across 9 P. M. off to college!

A LEGAL JOLT 1 1 I Supreme Headquarters Notes Such Action Is Permissible Athens (AP) Greece in- formed the North Atlantic Treaty organization tonight it is withdrawing the nec-; essary army, naval and air force units from the al-: liance to defend Cypruss independence and to ward I off the constant Turkish threat.

Turkey notified NATO in Paris a week ago that she was withdrawing some df her air force for use in her national interest on a temporary basis. Provided in Treaty Supreme Allied Headquarters for Europe noted, in announcing Turkeys move, that such action is permissible and provided for under the NATO treaty. The Greek move suggested a further splintering of the 15-taa-7 tion alliances southeastern flank. In addition td pulling out planes, the government announced it has decided to trans-: fer the headquarters of its NATO detachment from Izmir, Turkey, on the Aegean sea 180 miles east of Athens, to Salon-T ika, in Northern Greece. Spyros Kyprianou, Cyprus for- eign minister, returned from Athens to Nicosia today with assurances of Greek government support in the event of new Turkish attacks.

May Go to Moscow Asked by newsmen if he would go to Moscow to negotiate on a Cyprus aid offer made by Premier Khrushchev, Kyprianou replied he might. Greece welcome Khrushchevs warhing to Turkey, describing it as an important contribution to peace. In London, the British foreign office urged the Soviet Union to avoid inflaming the critical sit-! uation on Cyprus. A Foreign Office spokesman told newsmen: We expect the Soviet gov- ernment to conform to the I United Nations security council resolution of August 9 which (in paragraph 4) called on all states to refrain from any ac-7 tion that might exacerbate the situation in Cyprus and broaden the hostilities. British authorities privately 7 reject Khrushchev's charge that Britain and other Western powers have been encouraging the Turks to intervene in Cyprus.

G.O.P, DISPUTE TO THE FINISH (Continued From Page 1.) Mansfield Pries At Impasse on Apportionment (Continued From Page 1) Everett M. Dirksen, proposed attaching an amendment imposing a mandatory delay in reapportioning state legislatures. Mansfield and Dirksen have since offered a comprosime version of Dirk-sens plan. We thought it was a reasonable compromise, Mansfield told a conference of Democratic senators. But apparently some members do not think so.

So there it is. The President needs the foreign aid legislation; reapportionment is riding on it. I see no alternative but to stay with it until it is disposed of one way or another. Democratic liberals have launched a marathon talk attack against the apportionment rider. It is aimed at delaying the effectiveness of i-ordered reappportion-ment of state legislatures on a population basis.

Mansfields statement was regarded as an ultimatum to the liberals to halt their talk or face an extended session of Congress after it recesses Friday for the Democratic convention. The statement also served notice that the leadership has no intention of laying the apportionment proposal aside even if it entails coming back after the convention. Mansfield said our hopes for a sine-die adjournment before the convention, I am afraid, have been reapportioned. make an offer to the International Union of Electrical Workers (I. U.

for Strike Detroit (AP) The United Auto Workers union said today that the first two Chrysler locals taking strike votes had reported 100 per cent support for walkouts, if necessary, to support new contract demands. The U. A. W. said local 140 at the Dodge truck plant in Hamtramck, and local 868 at an Atlanta parts plant were those reporting no negative strike votes.

Still Talking Here Local negotiations between the U. A. W. and four General Motors divisions in this area are continuing on a daily basis. They concern about 3,500 employees at the Buick-Oldsmobile-Pontiac assembly division in the Fairfax district; 3,500 in the Chevrolet motor division and Fisher body division in Leeds, and 500 in the Delco-Remy battery plant at Olathe.

B. J. Plea for Peace in Space Washington (AP) President Johnson has voiced the hope all nations will join to place the peaceful realms of space off-limits the designs of aggressors on earth. This hope, and the suggestion that it be accomplished through the United Nations, was contained in a statement yesterday announcing he was sending to leaders of 110 nations photographs of the moon taken by cameras of Ranger 7 before it hit the moon July 31. He said he was sending the sets of pictures in the name of the people of the United States as an expression of the desire that human knowledge be used for human BID TO U.

A. IV. BY BIG THREE (Continued From Page 1.) ue the so-called annual improvement factor under which hourly rated workers receive an automatic 21 per cent yearly wage increase to compensate for costsaving technological advances automation. From 6 to 13 Cents G. M.

said its offer would raise wages six to 13 cents hourly over a 3-year period, but did not specifically mention the annual improvement factor. Chrysler estimated its offer would add six to 12 cents hourly. All three proposed to continue the current cost-of-living escalator on which wages rise or fall with changes In the Index of the bureau of Labor statistics. And all three offered to write into the basic wage scale the 9 cents added to pay checks since current contracts were written in 1961. In other words, workers could lose only five of the 14 cents they now get under this clause, if the cost of living nosedived.

The companies offered to increase pensions from $2.80 monthly for each year of service to $3.25. At Chrysler, at least, the increase would apply only to workers retiring in the future. The U. A. W.

has demanded that the pensions of those already retired be raised, as well. Retire at 60 They also proposed retirement if mutually agreeable at age 60. Retirement now is possible at 65, mandatory at 68. In addition, the companies offered an incentive for early retirement, proposing in effect to pay workers as much between 60 and 65 as they would be entitled to from both company pension and Social Security at age 65. Vacation maximums would be increased to three weeks after 15 years and to four weeks after 25 years.

The general rule now is two weeks, regardless of years. The companies offered to pay the full cost of group life and health insurance for active employees. The cost now is shared, and Ford said this item alone would represent a take-home-pay increase of $4 to $8 a month. Good Friday would become a paid holiday at each firm. Aid for Widows Additional benefits also were proposed for widows and families of deceased workers, plus an increase in supplemental unemployment benefits paid on top of government-paid benefits to laid-off workers.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates the current average hourly wage in the automobile industry as a whole is $3.01, but the Big Three say their averages are higher. The U. A. W. adopted higher wages, increased pensions and earlier retirement among its top goals for 1964, but made No.

1 its demands for improved working conditions. Among other things it is demanding what amounts to two 10-minute coffee breaks on assembly lines to relieve the tedious monotony. Workers now get two- 12-minute breaks to attend to personal needs. Not in Proposals None of the companies mentioned this or other proposed working condition changes. Since work breaks represent cost items to the companies, breaks possibly could be swapped for something else.

Chrysler demanded that the U. A. W. reduce immediately the ratio of union representatives to employees. It said its ratio was higher than at G.

M. or Ford. Union representatives are paid by the company when processing grievances or otherwise attending to union business in the plants. General Motors said it would Jack HeNirv Country Club Plaza Kansas City Bruce Dishman was booked at the South Bend, police station following his arrest yesterday in connection with the kidnaping of 9-year-old Kristin Yvonne Smith Saturday.

ASK A CALM FOREIGN VIEW (Continued From Page 1.) realistic, Stevenson said, I suspect that if the Republican platform writers had studied the matter a little more carefully, they would have discovered that the formula they propose increases the relative voting strength of the Communist members of the U. N. Rusk did not mention Sen.

Barry Goldwater in his prepared testimony. President Kennedy faced the missiles in Cuba and President Johnson the attacks on American naval vessels in the Gulf of Tonkin, Rusk said. We do not draw back from the confrontation between the free world and the world of coercion. He went on: Only once in history, in October, 1962, (the date of the Cuba missile crisis) have nuclear powers come face to face with imminent possibility of nuclear exchange. It is not an experience to be lightly repeated.

Insisting that our basic national policies are producing good results, Rusk said: This is no time either to quit or to indulge in reckless deeds or words which would cost us the confidence of both allies and other free nations and stimulate irrational action by our adversaries. Under President Lyndon B. Johnson, we are on the right track. Let us keep on it. Rusk said this country wants victory for peace and freedom.

But, he said, it must be won without a great war if possible The devastation of a nuclear war is not the sort of victory we want. Therefore, the secretary continued, our policy toward our Communist adversaries is something more than implaca-jle hostility We must stop Communist aggression. At the same time, we must seek areas of possible agreement on matters of common interest arfd mutual advantage. We must also do what we can to encourage trends toward independent and more open societies within the Communist world. SLIGHT TOGLIATTI GAIN Rome (AP) Palmiro Togliat-tis' condition was still grave today, although some signs of improvement were noted by his doctors at Yalta in the Soviet Crimea.

It will be in a lot at 5144 Oak street, near the Central Methodist church, from 9 oclock in the morning until 9 oclock at night. The van is making a ward-by-ward tour of the city in a drive to increase voter registration before the general election. backers have not been impressed with the effort made by Jones and Buffe in Shepleys behalf.

In his support of Jones, Buffe said Jones has worked seven days a week for the state committee without charging it a cent. He added: I dont think youll find too many of these people. And, I dont think the state committee will let Jones go for one who possibly could not work for the party all the time and who would expect the committee to reimburse him. Buffe added he thinks it would be extremely unwise to change horses two months before a general election in a presidential year. FLIES TO THE BEATLES As Owner Still Hopes to Lure Them Here Todays children are tomorrows baseball fans.

With that explanation, Charles O. Finley, owner of the As, mentioned that he would fly from Chicago to San Francisco today, still hoping to lure the Beatles to stop in Kansas City on their second American tour which begins Wednesday. Finley, accompanied by a son, Paul Finley, 11, took with him four Kelley green and gold baseball bats and four orange baseballs he will present as gifts to the Beatles. The British quartet opens its new tour in San Francisco. Im still not convinced that they cant come to Kansas City, Finley said as he prepared to leave his Chicago insurance office today.

I want to do all I can for the kids of Kansas City to bring the Beatles there. Finley said his financial offer to the Beatles would not exceed the $100,000 previously offered and turned down. HOFFA GETS 4 5 -YEAR TERMS (Continued From Page 1.) here it be concurrent with the Chattanooga sentencing. Austin replied: This court feels that the sound of the clang of a jailhouse door has a salutary effect on defendants and other citizens. Judge Austin denied all defense motions to set aside the jury conviction and for a new trial.

Included was a surprise move by- Walsh, chief defense counsel, to upset the conviction by calling an alternate juror as a defense witness. The juror Walsh said, had made notes of conversations between jurors which the defense said violated judge Austins instructions. Hoffa, 51. was sentenced to eight years in a federal penitentiary earlier this year in Chattanooga, for tampering with a jury in Nashville. That penalty is under appeal.

He and six co-defendants were convicted of conspiracy and fraud by a U. S. District court jury in Chicago July 26. The prosuection charged that Hoffa and his associates employed misrepresentation in obtaining a total of 25 million dollars in loans from the 280-million dollar teamsters pension fund and received in kickbacks a total of 1.7 million dollars. The trial began April 27 and the jury reached its verdict July 26.

Housftig Project Link The government charged that the defendants set up the loan scheme to bail out Hoffas interest in a housing project in Florida. Hoffas attorneys vere ready to carry the Chicago trial to an appeals court. But Hoffa faced more immediate trouble from his union on the question of his stewardship and the issue of payments of attorneys who have represented him in his series of cases. The 20-year-sentence was the maximum Hoffa could have received. The fine was $3,000 under the $13,000 maximum.

DIXIE BARRIER FALLS Negroes Are First in a Rural Louisiana School Greensburg, La. (AP) Three young Negroes entered Greensburg high school today without incident. They are the first of their race to desegregate a rural Louisiana school. The Negroes, granted a transfer last week under terms of a federal court order, registered under a heavy security guard. They were identified as Georgia Lea Gordon, 17, David Howard, 18, and Charles Hall, 17, all of Greensburg.

In declaring he is still a can-: didate for re-election, Jones said he pledged he would serve through the November 3 general election if it was the state com- mittees desire. But he said he would not actively campaign for the job himself. It will be the decision of a political organization, he said, 3 adding it is quite possible Zi that a floor fight may occur.
