Os Future U. S. Development
By JAMES BIRCHFIELD
Star Staff Writer
President Kennedy dedicated the new Dulles Interna
tional Airport today as a fitting symbol for the future',
development of the Nation.
Speaking on a platform overlooking the vast airport,
the President said the new terminal will signify the future'
of this Nation as the preservation of Lafayette Park in
Washington signifies the past
He said it is fitting for us t<
honor the past and look to the
future.
Mr. Kennedy spoke undei
overcast skies before an esti
mated 60,000 persons.
“This is a great airport and
a great time in the life of oui
country,” the President said
He also described the airport
as: “This distinguished orna
ment of our great country.”
Site Selection Praised
Mr. Kennedy praised the
foresight of former President
Eisenhower and former Federal
Aviation Administrator Directoi
Elwood P. Quesada for theii
work in selecting the new site
and said it should be one that
would put America’s best fact
to visitors from all over the
world.
He commended those whe
will work at the airport and ai
other air and ocean port:
throughout the country. The
Chief Executive urged them te
put America’s best face for
ward in meeting those froir
foreign lands who enter this
country.
Gen. Eisenhower, who pre
ceded the President on the
platform, reviewed the histotj
of the airport.
The general, removing hi:
topcoat to make his remarks
said he was happy to receive
from N. E. Halaby, FAA chief
“a tribute for my little part ir
the initiation of this big proj
ect.”
He said even before jet air
planes first appeared, Gen
Quesada “convinced me thal
Washington required a jet air
port of its own.”
Program Started in 1957
Gen. Eisenhower recallec
that the program started a:
long ago as January, 1957. H:
also recalled that in 1959
shortly after the death of “mj
very close friend. John Fostei
Dulles.” he rjamed the airpor
for Mr. Dulles “because i
seemed fitting to honor a mat
who had spent most of hi:
life serving the cause of hi:
country and world peace." Mrs
Dulles listened as Gen. Eisen
hower praised her late hus
band.
Other Dulles family mem
bers listening to Gen. Eisen
hower’s remarks included Mrs
Dulles’ three children, Mrs
Robert Hinshaw, J. W. F. Dul
les, and the Rev. Avery Dulles
a Jesuit priest; three sisters o
the late Secretary of State
Eleanor Lansing Dulles, Mrs
James Seymour and Mrs. Deai
Edwards; and a brother, Allei
W. Dulles, former director o
the Central Intelligence Agency

es tate
He toured the new buildini

Oxford Jury
Blames Riot
On McShane
Secret Indictment
Said to Name
Chief Marshal
By CECIL HOLLAND
Star Blatt Writer
James P. McShane, chief
United States marshal, was re-;
ported today as having been
indicted by a grand jury at
Oxford. Miss., on charges grow
ing out of the rioting at the!
University of Mississippi Sep
tember 30.
The Lafayette County grand
jury in a report yesterday
blamed Mr. McShane and Fed
eral marshals “for agitating
and provoking violence" on the i
Ole Miss campus. It returned
two secret indictments.
No names were released by
Mississippi officials pending
steps taken to arrest the two
persons named in the indict
ments.
However, informed sources in :
Mississippi made it clear that ,
one of them was Mr. McShane, .
who was in charge of the mar
; shals sent to the university ,
ito help enroll Negro student
James H. Meredith.
No Word Here
Justice Department officials
here said they had received no
notification concerning Mr.
McShane. They also denied the
! grand jury’s allegations that
marshals were responsible for
the wild disorders which left
two dead and scores injured.
Distr ic t Attorney Jesse
Yancy. jr„ said in a telephone
i interview that warrants had
been turned over to Lafayette
County Sheriff Joe Ford for
the two persons named in the
indictment.
Circuit Judge Walter M.
O'Barr, under whose direction
the grand jury investigated the
rioting, said the two individu
als were not residents of Mis
sissippi. The other person was
reported to be a military po
, lice private from Fort Dix, N. J .
who was among the Federal

Peace Corps U. S. Increases Pressure
In U. S. Slated On Reds to Remove Jets
Kennedy Expected
To Order Study
By GEORGE SHERMAN
Star Staff Writer
After more than 18 months j
of behind-the-scene probing,
President Kennedy today is
scheduled to take the first con- ,
Crete step toward establishing ,
a domestic peace corps.
He is believed ready to name ■
a cabinet-level task force to j
make an intensive and fast |
study of whether such a na- j
tional peace corps is feasible. j
The main task of the home
force would be to help States ’i
and local communities tackle 1
social problems. It would in- i
elude everything from slum 1
clearance and work with urban i
juvenile delinquents to aid to 1
poor migratory workers and In
dians on the Western reser- '
vations. i
The cabinet officials ex- •
pected to be named to the 1
Government task force are ;
Attorney General Robert F. ■
Kennedy. Labor Secretary
Wirtz, Interior Secretary Udall
and Health, Education and
Welfare Secretary Celebreeze.
Speedy Action Sought
The President is said to de- J
sire that their feasibility study
on the new corps be ready by
the middle of December, so
that firm steps can be taken:
to establish it during the early
stages of the new Congress.
The juvenile delinquency ex- '
perts in the Justice Depart- !
ment have been carrying on an
intensive study for some time.
They have drawn heavily on
the training and selection pro

By the Associated Pres* |
The United States is reported
, to be increasing its diplomatic |
1 pressure on Russia for prompt j
removal of Soviet jet bombers
■ in Cuba.
Withdrawal of the planes
- the last of the “offensive
weapons” to which the United
States made specific objection ;
presently dominates all
United States-Soviet contacts,
including personal exchanges
between President Kennedy and ;
Soviet Premier Khrushchev, in- |
formants said.
Mr. Kennedy is understood j
’to have made clear to Mr. ,
Khrushchev that it will be im- j
possible for the United States ,
to move on any other front of
diplomatic relations until the
bomber problem is settled.
The President and his ad- |
visers regard it in large part (
as an issue of good faith, since
Mr. Khrushchev promised to j
take from Cuba all the offen
sive weapons to which Mr. ,
Kennedy objected and not just •
the 42 missiles cleared out last '
week end.
Still Prime Issue
Washington officials said the
bomber issue is of greater con- 1
, cern than Prime Minister Fidel
Castro’s threat to shoot down
United States reconnaissance
aircarft.
Their confidence apparently
i rested on a belief the Russians
would not support Mr. Castro
[in any military action which!
was sure to bring United States
retaliation.
There also is a conviction
here that Russians man the 22
anti-aircraft missile batteries
in Cuba and that they are not
subject to Mr. Castro's orders.

Russia Reported Favoring Brazil's
Program on Cuba. Page A-2
Mr. Castro got Soviet verbal
support yesterday as United
States Delegate Arthur Dean
and Soviet Delegate Valerian
A. Zorin clashed on the issue
before the United Nations
Political Committee in New
York.
Mr. Zorin called the Cuban:
leader's warning against United
States flights “perfectly legiti
mate.”
Mr. Dean declared the United
States will continue scouting
missions over Cuba as long as
necessary and give its planes
protection if need be.
Calls Flights Unlawful
Mr. Zorin said any attempt
by the United States to violate.
Cuban sovereignty, “cannot but
provoke universal condemna
tion.”
Mr. Zorin called, the United
States flights unlawful and
said the decision to continue
them caused “deep concern for
the peace of the world."
The exchange yesterday was
triggered by Cuban Ambassador
Carlos Lechuga who interrupted
the committee’s disarmament
debate to announce that Mr.
Castro's warning went into ef
fect "as of today.”
Authorities said that Mr.
Castro certainly has the power
to fire on and perhaps to knock
down some United States
1 planes. There was no denial
that if this happened it would
bring a rapid increase in ten
sions in the Cuban crisis.
Whether it would also have
the result of causing Mr.
Khrushchev to look more care
fully at his policy on the IL-28
jet bombers is a question.
Since Mr. Khrushchev has
lost Cuba as a major nuclear
missile base, authorities here
find it hard to believe he would
INTERPRETIVE REPORT
AF's Hot RS-70 Program
Believed on the Way Out
By RICHARD FRYKLUND
Star Staff Writer
Despite the Air Force's mas
sive effort to rescue its RS-70
bomber program, the contro
versial multi - million - dollar
project appears headed for ob
livion.
Civilian officials and many
Air Force officers say privately
that a new study made by Sec
retary of Defense McNamara
under pressure from Congress
did not turn up anything to
dispel Mr. McNamara's doubts
about the RS-70. ?
The Air Force may get a bit
more money to expand its pro
posed development program,
but there is virtually no hope
today that the futuristic bomb
er will ever patrol the skies for
the Air Force.
The official decision on the
fate of the RS-70 will not be
made until President Kennedy

Explosives Seized,
U. N. Attache Held
In Terrorist Plot
Three pro-Castro Cubans accused of conspiring
to commit sabotage in this country were seized by
the FBI in New York last night, together with a cache
of explosives and incendiary bombs.
FBI officials in Washington announced that the
three men, one a newly arrived member of the Cuban
Mission to the United Nations, were rounded up late
yesterday and early this morning. The Government
identified them as:
Roberto Santiesteban Casanova, 27, an Attache to the
Cuban U. N. Mission; Antonio Sueiro, 22, of 35 Hamilton
place, New York, and Jose Garcia Orellana, 42, of 139 West
Eighty-second street, New York.
Two other persons named as conspirators in the Federal
complaint, but not arrested, were identified as Jose Gomez
Abad, 21, and his wife, Elsa. 20. Both are attached to the
Cuban Mission and have diplomatic immunity.
The United States’ delegation to the U. N., however,
asked Cuba this morning to send Gomez and his bride home
on grounds that they participated in a conspiracy to commit
sabotage.
The United States also notified U. N. Acting Secretary
General U Thant of the arrests.
Federal agents said the three men reportedly were bent
on launching a series of terrorist attacks in New York
department stores, using grenades and miniature fire bombs.
I Arms Cache Uncovered
Weapons seized by the FBI in a jewelry workshop on
West Twenty-seventh street, New York, included several
hand grenades, seven incendiary devices, a dozen or more
cylindrical detonators and a .45-caliber pistol.
Santiesteban, the FBI said, resisted arrest and was sub
dued by FBI agents. He was carrying a fully loaded Mauser
semi-automatic pistol and tried to swallow written formulas
for explosives when arrested, they said.
i The FBI said Santiesteban was not entitled to diplomatic
- Immunity. He had joined the Cuban Mission in New York
- on October 3, but his request for diplomatic status was still
j being processed when he was apprehended.
Government officials said the three men arrested were
charged with violating two Federal statutes: Section 2155,
Title 18, prohibiting injury to, or destruction of, national
s defense materials, premises or utilities during peacetime,
>|and Section 951, Title 18, dealing with failure to register
• as agents of a foreign government.
. i The incendiary devices and grenades confiscated by FBI
> agents were hidden in a workshop operated by Garcia, the
FBI said. Agents located the grenades in a safe and the
incendiary devices and detonators in the hollow interior of
a detached electric light fixture.
Agents said that several of the pencil-shaped detonators,
. a pistol and an incendiary device were found in an envelope
clearly marked: “From: 155 East 44th street, 31st floor,
New York 17, N. Y.”
The Cuban Mission to the U. N. occupies the entire
31st floor at the Forty-fourth street address.
The envelope, the FBI said, was inside a brown paper
bag, tied with a string and marked: “Krasdale for better
flavor."
Linked to Castro Groups
>
. Both Garcia and Sueiro have extensive backgrounds of
; participation in pro-Castro organizations in New York City,
• the FBI declared. A bureau spokesman said both have been
• members of the July 26th Movement and were members of
the Casa Cuba Club at 691 Columbus avenue. New York, a
J suspected haunt for admirers of Cuban Premier Fidel Castro.
!; The suspects, in their schemes for sabotage, had agreed
■ to obtain the assistance of as many pro-Castro Cubans as
possible, the Government charged.
During the roundup of the alleged conspirators, the
’ FBI took a 26-year-old New York woman into custody as a
, material witness. The woman, identified as Ada Marie
, Dritsas, was with Antonio Sueiro when he was picked up at
•iThird avenue and Twenty-fourth street, the FBI said.
1 Each of the two Federal charges against the three sus
? pects carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison. A
s SIO,OOO fine may also be imposed in the sabotage charge,
jiand a $5,000 fine may be added to a jail sentence in con
? nection with the second charge.
The Federal complaint filed with the charges also ac
