II KINGSPORT NEWS Friday, January 21, 1066 Thant Urges Peace Talks Cenllnuwi From Page 1 United'Stales'and the Soviet Union. However, much 'of what secretary general stated was a repetition of the views he frequently exprescd to visitors and in informal private conversations with UN diplomats and the press. DISCUSSION 'CAUTIOUS' Thant appeared cautious and even reticent in his discussion of possible peace efforts. He explained thai he had "very severe limitations with respect to my actions or statements," and therefore had to be "very discreet." In Ihis respect he.did not even wish to present a common denominator of the various opposing positions and demands, nor offer any formula for solutions. Thursday, however, was the first time that lw publicly called for the participation of the Viet Cong in a reconstructed Saigon government.

According to reliable sources, he has long held the view thai a stable regime in Saigon Js an imporlanl ingredient for peace in the region and thai Ihe former could only be achieved through parlicipalion of Ihe Viet Cong and also of some of the Vietnamese Nationalists who are in self- imposed exile in France and the Philippines. PRACTICAL QUESTIONS? Thant did not explain how a reconstruction could be pul Into effect, but wondered aloud if "the time has come to raise such practical questions." The secrolary general concluded (hat "in spite of Ihe horrors of war and however grim the situation still remains," there has been "an undeniable rapprochement between the positions of the parlies." "Ail agree now that (the) Geneva (14-power conference) offers Ihe most appropriate framework for discussions all sides now recognize lhal any lasling setllement musl have the unanimous support of ail the great powers, including, naturally, China," he added. Budget 'Slides' With War Continued From Page 1 additional money will be spent, tlw war on poverty is expecled to get more than this; year's $1.5 billion. There have been reports Johnson would ask for $1.7 billion for the anti-poverty program. Other reports have gone as high as $2 billion.

An increase of $5.8 billion in Viet Nam spending and $3.2 billion for the Great Society comes to $9 since the budget itself is rising.only $6.4 billion, Johnson has had to cul $2.6 billion from less essential programs. Actually, officials said (hey had found savings of $4.5 billion but that these have been partly offset by about $2 billion, in "unavoidable" increases other than Viet Nam and the "Great Society." Savings Include $1.5 billion'in defense oulside of 'Viet Nam and $1.5 billion in civilan programs. In addlion, the administration hopes to pick up $1.5 billion by selling mortgages and oUier government-owned assets and by gelling private lenders to take over some loans now made directly from Washington. Another windfall' will -be realized.by reducing the silver content of half dollars and eliminating the metal altogether in and nickels. Estimates of the amount expected to.be realized this way have ranged up to $2 billion, although officials said only that it will play a "quite significant" part in keepng the defcit within bounds.

The "unavoidable" spending increases include $300 million in federal pay raises, both civilian and 'military, $700 millon more ifor interest on the national debt, and $1 billion in bigger work loads throughout the government. As usual, military spending will account for about half the total budget. Including the costs of Viet Nam, the defense budget will rise from $54.2 billion in fiscal 1966 to $58.3 billion in fiscal 1967.

Candace Has Court Visitor From Page 1 Candace is on trial wilh her handsome 20-year-old nephew, Melvin Lane Power, for the June 30, 1964 slaying of Caridace's husband, Texas financier Jacques Mossier, 69. The trial was not disrupted by the appearance of King.

A recess had been called but Mrs. Mossier and other' principals Were in the courtroom- Earlier Candace said that a wan had written her several tellers claiming to know the person who killed her millionaire husband. She said the writer, who signed his letters "Ted," had promised to step forward and "save me" if a jury convicts her of the murder. A. millionairess many times ever, Candace also disclosed Thursday she is living on borrowed money.

She said most of Mossler's $28-niillion estate was tied up in probate courts and that she now owes more than $100,000. The former model made her comments oulside the courtroom where the defendants high priced legal talent sparred with the stale for the fourth day over selection of a jury. Circuit Judge George E.

Attorney Woody said he thought police had been apprised the letters bul Assistant Prosecutor Arthur E. Hulloe would not comment on the mailer.

Defense atlomeys have indicated to prospective juroi-s thai they cxpecl the stale to presenl lurid testimony in an effort to show (hat Powers killed Mossier so he could continue his love affair with Candace. To each of would be jurors Foreman has asked Ihe same basic question: "If you had adultery, fornication a nd incestuous relationships proved beyond a reasonable doubt, bul were not satisfied Hie prosecution had shown homicide, would you convict them (the defendants) of murder?"

BIG STONE GAP A Big Slone Gap dairy farmer was recognized for i "distinguished achievements" last night during the'annuial banquet of Ihe Virginia Dairymen's Association at the: John Marshall Hotel In Richmond. Douglas' terpstra, presidenl of Clinch Haven Farms, received a certificate "in recognition of his meritorious services in promoting the development of the industry of agricullure and.home economics." It was awarded by the Virginia Tech board of visitors and faculties of. the of Agriculture and Home Economics. The award has been given annually since 1923 fo Virginia citizens who have made outstanding contributions to agricullure and family living. Making the presentation was Dr.

Wilson Bell, dean of agriculture. The certificate bears file signatures of Harry C. Wyatt, rector of the board of visitors; Dr. T. Marshall Hahn Virginia Tech president; Dr.

Laura Jane Harper, dean of home economics; and Bell. A native of the Friesland area of Holland, Terpstra came to the. United States before the turn of the century, when he was in his teens. His family had been cattle breeders since 1750, and Terpstra of I en slept with the cows at calving time. He as an electrical and mining engineer in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York Big Stone Gap Farmer Honored By Dairymen and Virginia before be settled at Big Stone Gap and began de-i veloping his farm.

He now has 600 acres, grazing about 200 head of Holsfein cattle. The corporation is set up on 'a profit sharing basis for all its employees, with the stipulation that it continue in operation after Terpstra's lifetime. One of (he original Tennessee Valley unit lest demonstration farms, Clinch Haven Farms emphasizes paslure, green crop feeding, silage and hay.

He donated the entire amount he received to the area 4-11 club camp. Terpslra and his wife, "Miss Sallie," have been responsible for the education of six boys and girls. "Contentment comes by learning to do without things and doing things for others. It is all so simple we make it compli- caled," he explained. Road Approved Continued From Page 1 streets.

City Manager Charles K. Marsh indicated doubts that storm, drainage could be controlled adequately on the sleep slope. Alderman Joseph H. Lewis said he resented-the fact that the slreet already had been graded and rocked before the plat was submitted for approval. And Vice Chairman T.

M. Divine, in an obvious understatement, said he 'couldn't vole for the proposal "with much en thusiasm." But when it finally came to vote, no dissent was heard. Regarding the fact that the street had already been built, surveyor Richard S. Key explained that the owner, E. B.

Mays had it graded to provide access to his own home atop the hill before he decided to subdivide the remaining land. When Key took on the task of planning the rest of the subdivision, the steep road already was there. It was reported that the county road commissioner had looked at the street and indicated he would approve it when the plat comes before him. The subdivision is oulside the city. The planning commission approval was contingent on a rough hard surface being placed on the street before any lots are sold.

The Mays Addition is on the easl side of Forest View Road the area north of Bloomingdale Road. It contains 6.29 acres to be divided into nine ofs. Other subdivisions granted reliminary approval were: Laurel Manor, on the south side of East Slone Drive ad- oining the eastern city limits. )wned by W. L.

Calhoun, it contains 13.41 acres to be divided into 24 lots. Deward ane is in charge of engineer- ng. Larkspur Eslafes, one mile norlh of Bloom in gdale Road at he intersection of Forest View and Gravelly Road. Owned by (he Suburban Development Corporation, it con- 43.11 acres to be divided nto 92 lots. Carter and Eachus Surveyors are in charge the engineering.

La Mesa Estates, in the southwest quadrant of the Stone Drive-John B. Dennis Highway nlerchange. It contains 8.79 acres to be divided into 19 lots. The property is owned by H. R.

iVidener, and Carter and Eachus are the surveyors. A Resubdivision of Lot 4, Block Acre'Heights, to be divided into two bis, was granted both preliminary and inal approval. The property is owned by J. M. Fluce, and Deward Lane is in charge of mgineering.

In this case (he commission granted a variance from the usual 50-foot minimum slreet width requirement. Clark said no purpose could be served by requiring Fluce to provide additional right of way for the presently 40-foot Plantation Road, since it.is in a fully developed area and it would be impractical to require (he ad- dilional right of way from adjoining properly owners. Granted final approval were: Addilion No. 1 'to Historic ills. This subdivision is in the ock Springs area between aclolus Road and Rock Springs oad in the 13(h Civil District.

Tie 11.75 acres, owned by Marin Goodman, is to be divided nto 23 lols. Approval for this subdivision ad been withheld earlier be- ause some of the lots lacked sproval of Ihe County Health cpartment for septic tanks, lark reported adjustments had een made, providing for addi- onal land fill, and the health epartment had indicated it ould approve them wilh the hanges. Haywood Addition. This sub- ivision of 3.99 acres into nine ols is on Belden Road-in the loomingdale Area adjoining 'alien Acres. It is owned by aywood Bowen, arid Deward ane is the surveyor.
