Kennedy Sets
2 Wide-Open
TV Interviews
To Be on Longer
News Programs
Os 2 Networks
HYANNIS PORT, Mass.,
Aug. 31 (AP).—President Ken
nedy plans two no-holds
barred television interviews in
the next 10 days. The pro
grams will be akin to a longer
television interview that at
tracted much attention last
December.
The occasion for the ques
tlon-and-answer sessions will
be the inauguration of half
hour evening news programs
by the Columbia Broadcasting
System next Monday and the
National Broadcasting Co., a
week later.
Each interview will last
about 10 minutes, according to
White House Press Secretary
Pierre Salinger, who said there
would be no restrictions on
questioning within the time
limit.
Seen As Useful
The December program,
which Mr. Kennedy felt was
useful from a political stand
point and as a method of pre
senting his views, lasted one
hour. It was a co-operative ef
fort of the three major tele
vision networks CBS, NBC
and the American Broadcast
ing Co.
Mr. Salinger later made a
formal announcement of the!
interviews, saying:
“The President is appearing
on these programs in recogni
tion of this advance in tele
vision journalism.’*
The two programs and their
new broadcast times are: CBS
news with Walter Cronkite,
6:30-7 p.m. (EDT), and NBC’s
Huntley-Brinkley ' Report, 7-
7:30 pin.
The CBS interview on Mon
day will be conducted by news
caster Walter Cronkite and will
be filmed on videotape several
hours in advance. Special mo
bile units were en route to the
Kennedy summer home here
for the occasion.
Mr. Salinger said he did not
know who would conduct the
NBC interview September 9.
Plsns Quiet Week End
Apart from the Monday in
terview, Mr. Kennedy, accord
ing to Mr. Salinger, planned a
quiet family week end until he
returns to Washington Tues
day or early Wednesday. The
long Labor Day holiday may
turn out to be a substitute for
his annual fall vacation.
Mr. Kennedy accomplished
some serious business yester
day, the first day of his Labor
Day stay at the family’s sum
mer home, by getting Gen.
Lucius Clay to stand beside
him and plug for restoration of
a $585 million' House cut in
his $4.5 billion foreign aid pro
gram.
Mr. Salinger said this was
the first and last business con
ference of the Labor Day week
end, apart from daily intelli
gence briefings by Mr. Ken
nedy’s military aide, Maj. Gen.
Chester V. Clifton.
The plan was to reserve the
balance of the holiday for
yachting, swimming and other
family fun with Mrs. Kennedy
and the two Kennedy young
sters, Caroline and John, jr.
Mr. Kennedy is expected to
spend another week end at
Hyannis Port, then make a few
week-end trips to the summer
home of Mrs. Kennedy’s parents
at Newport, R. I.
The first family usually takes
a vacation of a week or 10 days
at Newport in the fall. However,
plans this year are uncertain
because Congress is expected to
remain in session for several
months to deal with civil rights
and tax-cut legislation—the top
priority items on the adminis
tration program.
How important are apart
ment extras? Are they the
driving force behind the
area's unprecedented apart
ment boom?

Angry Folcroft Neighbors
Fail to Bar Negro Couple
FOLCROFT, Pa„ Aug. 311
(AP). A Negro couple who
moved under a heavy police
escort through a jeering, ugly
tempered crowd into their home
in a previously all-white area
tried settling down today for
what they hope will be a long
stay. *
More than 100 State troopers
augmented by a detail of a
dozen horses remained ready to
contain any new outbursts or
demonstrations such as last
night’s rock and egg throwing
that threatened to become an
all-out riot.
Maj. Singleton Shaeffer said
anyone not living on the for
merly peaceful street where the
Horace Bakers now reside
would be kept out. At the peak
of the fury last night a thou
sand or more jammed into the
area of modest brick row
houses in this Philadelphia
suburb.
The Bakers, once inside, kept
all lights off.
Hopes for Future
Early this morning, long after
the crowd had dispersed, Mr.
Baker, 26, came out of the
house briefly and told a State
trooper: “Sorry I caused all
this trouble. But I hope every
thing will turn out satisfac
torily.”
He shook hands with a priest
on the street and several
neighbors again began jeering.
One shouted, “Let me shake
your hand, nigger.”
Mr. Baker returned inside,
where his wife and several
companions were sitting in the
' dark.
By this time only a dozen
troopers were patrolling in the
immediate vicinity, challenging i
everyone who appeared. How
ever, 132 troopers in all were
ready at a momeiit’s notice.
Determined to Stay
Mr. Baker Indicated his de
termination to stay even be
fore he moved late yesterday
into the house whose interior
had been wrecked by vandals.
A fire bomb was hurled
through a window early yes
terday.
He said: "This is a chal
lenge. And if we can’t live up
to a challenge, we have no
place to go.”

HOW TO HIDE $7 MILLION?
LET WIFE LOSE IT IN HOUSE
LONDON (AP).—The Dally Mirror announced today
the winner of its contest for suggestions on how to hide
a stack of stolen cash. The prize went to the man who
said he would give it to his wife.
The competition was inspired by Britain's $7-milllon
train robbery of three weeks ago. Intrigued by how the
bandits hid their loot after the shareout, the Mirror
asked, “How would you hide 250,000 pounds <$700,000)
in fivers?”
Suggestions poured in for hiding the cash in toilet
rolls, beehives, garbage can* and burying it in the fore
court of Scotland Yard.
But the 50-pound ($140) prize went to H. Mcßride
of Doncaster who said: “I would give it to my wife.”
Mrs. Mcßride, the winner said, had a vast talent for
losing things around the house—"l feel that she is capable
of concealing a herd of elephants in the cupboards which
would defy all the resources of Scotland Yard to find."

Open for Use in Crises

The historic “hot line” be

is open for business—business
that officials hope will never
come.
Now a tinkle of a bell in the
White House or Kremlin—at
either end of the emergency
communications system may

But it may also keep nervous
fingers from pressing the but

Completion of the circuits,

Mr. Van Dyk, charged with

Mr. Van Dyk referred to the
screams of “Nigger. Nigger
. . . you dirty niggers—you'll
never live here in peace” that
were shouted as the Bakers,

entered the home.
The” feeling erupted into it

Volunteer Enters Mine,
Bova Not in Chamber
'lmage of Man' Picked Up on Camera
Was a Plug, Rescue Worker Finds
HAZLETON, Pa., Aug. 31 (AP).—A courageous volunteer
last night ended speculation that missing miner Louis Bova
might be entombed in the same underground chamber from
which two companions were rescued.
With this hope for finding the 54-year-old Bova ended,
drillers continued work today on several 100-yard deep shafts
which might provide some clue
to the whereabouts of Mr. Bova,
who has been missing since a
mine cavein at nearby Sheppton
August 13.
So hazardous was the mission
performed last night by volun
teer Andy Drebitko, 36, of
Pottsville, that his identity was
not disclosed until after he had
been hauled back up a 308-foot
shaft and reported: No trace
of Mr. Bova.
The shaft went to the cham
ber from which Mr. Bova's
companions, David Fellin, 58.
and Henry Throne, 28, had
been rescued last Tuesday after
two weeks entombment.
Camera Picked Up Plug

A remote-controlled television
camera lowered into the cham

to be the image of a man.

Ocean City Seizes 49
To Block 'Annual Riot'
By WALTER GOLD
Bt»r Staff Writer
OCEAN CITY, Md., Aug.— ;
Police arrested 49 youths early |
itoday in an effort to dry up
chances of another teen-age (
riot during the closing days of
the beach season.
Forty-three youths, includ
ing 17 from the Washington
area, were picked up under
emergency curfew regulations, i
In addition, two Alexandria
brothers and four other young
men were arrested on disorderly
conduct charges.
The crackdown, Police Chief
V. Jack Phillips said, carries
this clear message:
“There will be no annual riot
in Ocean City this year.”
Four-Day Curfew
There was no violence and
there were no injuries during
the early morning arrests, po
lice said.
The four-day curfew, which
went into effect at 12:01 a.m.
today, is aimed at keeping
youths under 21 indoors after
midnight.
The town council put the
curfew regulations on the books
for the first time this year
as an added weapon to help
block off a last-fling teen-age
riot during the long holiday
week end.
In 1959 and 1960, full-scale
riots broke out here during the
closing days of the season. In
1961, about 4,000 students
raided City Hall.
There are an estimated 150,-
“A 21-foot Lincoln Conti
nental automobile, and three
other family cars, in addition
to Secret Service vehicles, and
the regular White House fleet,
"A special railroad car,
“Two yachts.
“Another yacht available
from the Navy, and
“A racing yawl supplied
through the Coast Guard.”
Senator Byrd, in a speech
prepared for his 41st annual
apple orchard picnic, noted
that a House subcommittee had
approved the President's re
quest for two new twin-jet
helicopters costing $1,125,000
each.
“Maybe all of this is neces
sary.” said Senator Byrd. “But
somehow or other it seems to
me the President could set an
example by getting along with
a little less."
Senator Byrd repeated sev
eral times a quote from Presi
dent Kennedy's inaugural ad
dress:
I “Ask not what your country

Rope was curled around the

Tunnel Impossible
Mr. Drebitko added:
“My Inspection of the area
where Fellin and Throne had
been indicated that it would
have been impossible to tunnel
from there to where Bova night
be entombed on the opposite
side of the slope.”
As soon as Mr. Drebitko made
his report, the drilling rigs—
which had been quiet along
with everything else except a
generator supplying power for
electric light—started to chum
again.
Mr. Drebitko, about 5-feet-8
was lowered into the shaft by
about a dozen men, holding
onto a thick rope. Two dozen
others manned three safety
! lines.
Everybody’s eyes were on
the 20-foot hoist, to which the
rope was attached to provide
additional leverage. Suspense
hung heavily over the crowd

;Day week end.
Crowd Seen a* Test
I
Late last night, nearly 1.000
i persons gathered around the
city’s traditional trouble spot
at Ninth street and the board
walk. Chief Phillips saw the
gathering as a test of whether
the town really meant to en
force the curfew.
Shortly after midnight, Chief
Phillips sent uniformed city
policemen through the crowd
to seek out the juveniles.
Fifteen canine corps dogs and
. scores of Maryland State
troopers were stationed nearby,
but were not used in the ar
!rests.
After nearly a dozen youths
were arrested without incident,
the crowd, made up mainly of
adults, gradually melted away.
The only girl arrested was a
20-year-old from Williams
burg, Va.
List of Those Arrested
Those from the Washington
; area arrested today and charged
with violations of the curfew
were:
Pat J. Amato, 18, of the 1400
block of Monroe street N.W.;
William M. Burgard, 18, of the
5100 block of Flanders avenue.

can do for you—ask what you
can do for your country.”
When he first entered the
Senate 30 years ago, Senator
Byrd said, "there were only
two major so-called Federal-
State aid programs—for land
grant colleges and roads.”
Today, he said. Government
economists advocate spending
more and cutting taxes at the
same time.
"These ideas don’t sound like
men looking for New Fron
tier*. They sound like Rip
Van Winkle.”
Senator Byrd predicted that
the national debt will reach
$325 billion within three years
if Congress passes the tax
cut recommended ty President!
Kennedy.
The national debt now is
close to the $309 billion tem
porary limit set by Congress
The Virginia Senator said the
tax cut recommended by Pres
dent Kennedy “wouldn't buy a
package of cigarettes in many
places” for the individual tax
payer.

United States officials re-i

Guard Strengthened
The additional Marine guard;
was ordered as a precaution!
against incidents that could

Southeast Asian nation and its

Two more American advisers
were killed yesterday in the war
against Communist guerrillas.
Government troops carrying
rifles with bayonets guarded
the mall in front of city hall
and were posted at the four
boulevards leading into the
demonstration area. Soldiers
with portable radio units were
deployed several blocks from
the mall.
By early morning, about 30,-

gathered at the amll, milling
under huge banners hailing
Mr. Diem.
The demonstrators from
pro-government revolutionary
groups to civil servants and,
women in traditional silken;

pink, yellow, green and blue
banners proclaiming support

“Colonialists” Assailed
“Down with all colonialists,

Another said: "We ask the
government to give the right
punishment to those who
violated national security.”
Officials claimed a turnout
of 200,000 persons, but ob
servers estimated the crowd
numbered about 60,000.
Most of the spectators ap
