New Landings
Are Reported.
In Panama
Troops Dispatched
To Area; GAS
Group Leaving

PANAMA, May 4 APP
National Guardsmen today has
tened to isolated beach $50
miles from Panama City to in
vestigate reports of new mys-
terry landings by about 30 men.
Aerial observers said the
band landed Saturday night
from four or five outboard
motorboats at Bahai Hondo in
Veraguas Province.
Guardsmen we're dispatched
to the area. But the difficult
terrain prevented immediate
contact with the men.
A government spokesman did
not appear overly concerned
when he discussed the latest
reports. Nor did he call the
reported landing a new lnva-
sion.
OAO OrOup hetuTHlHS
John Dreier, United States
Ambassador on the investiga-
ton commission of the Organ
ization of American States,
said his group had not been
notified of any new landings
and would return home today
as planned.
GAS military advisers are
staying on, however, and will
be filed in on developments.
The GAS team said last night
Panama's invasion crisis had
ended with the surrender OF
the last six members of the
band Of intruders from Cuba.
The holdouts gave up yester-
day near the Caribbean coastal
town of Nombre de Dios, where
the main band surrendered
Friday.
Brazilian Ambassador Fer
nando Lobo. president of the
GAS commission, said the
quick action by the GAS to
counter the attempt to over
throw President Ernesto de la
Guardia should discourage any
further invasion plots in the
Caribbean.
Mr.. Lobo described the Gu
ban invaders whom he visited
, in jail as "a mixed up bunch
of young boys"
Surprised at Destination
1.-TWO told me they thought
they were heading for Mica
ragua and we're surprised to
learn they were in Panama,
I he said.
One GAS delegate limited that
| the commission would recon-
mend clemency for the Cubans
Mr.. de la Guardia's government
had only promised so far tc
spare the invaders lives If they
surrendered.
The United States Caribbean
Command described the GAS
action as an excellent example
of United States and Latir
American military teamworE
that is going off like clockwork.
The United States, Colombia
Ecuador and Guatemala teamed
up to help the GAS investiga.
ton. From Tuesday through
Saturday so surveillance flights
we're flown along the coast tt
spot any additional invasion
that might be tried.

surances from different sources.
Senator Humphrey had the

three days Of prospecting in
the Golden State. found nothing
that contradicted the polls
showing him way ahead in
popular favor. He also found
some bright young men who
are more than willing to take
his case to the people.
His Face Is Familiar
For Senator Kennedy this
would be manifestly easier than
for Senator Humphrey. Senator
Kennedy's face is familiar in
California. Whenever he hur-
ried through an airport or a
hotel lobby, a flicker Of recog-
milton passed over many coun-
tenances, and he left a wake
of swiveling heads. Senator
Humphrey went largely unre-
marked on in public places.
The comments as Senator
Kennedy passed were largely di-
rected at his youthful appear
ance.

Force Missile Choice,
McE|roy Asks Capitol
Calls Dispute
On Bomurc,
Nike Worst
BY RICHARD FRYKLUND
star star Writer

Secretary of Defense McElroy
today invited Congress to force
the Pentagon to a decision on
abandoning either the Army's
Hercules or the Air Forces
Bomarc anti-aircraft missiles.
Mr.. McElroy, appearing be-
fore the Defense subcommittee
Of the Senate Appropriations
Committee, had been asked by
Senator Stennis. Democrat of
Mississippi. why the Defense
Department continued to spend
money on the two roughly SINH
lar defensive weapons.
I'VE haven't done very we'll
in making this decision" Sec
rotary McElroy replied. I'VE
wouldn't mind if you held our
feet to the fire and forced q
decision"
Mr.. McElroy said the dispute
between the two weapons was
1.-The most difficult matter I
have had to deal with" He
said the Pentagon was assum-
ing that the principal Soviet
weapon "for some years" will
be fast bombers carrying guided
missiles.
Floss Seen as Defense
The defense against this, he
said, would be a line of F-l08S
"a long-range fighter which
he called "a combination plane
and missile" with speed three
times that of sound--along the
northern edge of Canada,
backed up by 400-mile-range
BomarcS in Canada and the
northern edge of the United
States.
Specific target areas in this
country would be defended, he
said. by the Nike Hercules.
He pointed out that the
Nike Hercules could not be in
tegrated into the SAGE" de-
Tense warning and guidance
system, while the Bomarc can.
What Senator Stennis had in
mind was a reduction in con-
gressional authorizations for
further Nike Hercules equip.
ment, and greater emphasis on
Bon1arcs, rather than a sharp
chopping of of one in favor of
the other.
Force for Emergency
Senator Robertson, Democrat
of Virginia, asked Mr.. McElroy
if the budget would provide a
force sufficient to handle emer-
gencies in Berlin OF Iraq.
The Secretary said forces In
being from this budget would be
adequate" to handle any emer-
gency short of an actual armed
conflict or large movement of
troops. A small conflict, he said,
would require supplemental APP
preparations.

Truman Hits
Sd Term Ban
Presidents Hands
Tied, He Says

The two-term limit on the
presidency has made a lame
duck" of President Eisenhower
and will do the same to every
man who wins a second term,
former President Truman told
Congress today.
He told a Senate subcommit-
tee considering a proposal to
repeal the limitation that it was
put over by Roosevelt haters'
who sold the country a bill OF
goods"
Although the amendment was
passed by the Republican 80th
Congress, Mr. Truman said. lit
is ironic that the first lame
duck President to be ham,
strung by this amendment is
one of the Republicans own"
The outspoken Missourian
said the overriding reason for
repeal is that is sends the
President out to fight battles
of the free world with one
hand tied behind him because
everyone knows he can't run fol
reelection "
Would Give Him Tools
at makes no sense to treat
a President this way-no mat
ter who he is-Republican Oh
Democrat" Mr.. Truman con-
tinued. HE is still the Presi-
dent of the whole country; anc
all of us are dependent on him
and we ought to give him the
tools to do the job.
IF he is not a good Presi.
dent, and you don't want tt
keep him, you don't have tt
re-elect him. There is a way
to get rid of him and it doet
not require a constitutions
amendment"

the last few years one parish

turned over to Negro congre-
CATION. At present another
church is in the process Of

In addition, about a half
dozen other Episcopal churches
within the city are now facing
the problem of whether to stay

Bishop Dun pointed out that
this change in city populations

On Bid Basis,
Advised
FILA Commissioner
Voices Objection to
Negotiated Soles
BY ALFRED ALIBRANDO
star stan Writer

Federal Housing Administra-
ton Commissioner Julian H.
Zimmerman today advised the
District Redevelopment Land
Agency to sell or lease SUM
cleared land to the highest
bidder rather than to negotiate
with q single developer.
Mr.. Zimmerman, in response
to a question from an RIA Of
fetal at a housing and rede-
velopment conference here,
said:
Local authorities would be
a lot better of If they stopped
so much negotiating and mar
keted land more comparatively"
Mr.. Zimmerman's advice had
a direct bearing on Washing
toms Stun clearance program.
The RIA has negotiated solely
with New York developer Will
liam Zeckendorf on the lease
of 20 acres Of land for a shop
ping center in Southwest
Washington.
Delays Ruled Out
At a public hearing some
weeks ago. Washington builder
Morris Cafritz offered higher
rental. While this offer was
turned down, it delayed start
of construction on Town Center,
scheduled for this spring.
Since the hearing. the RIA
and Mr.. Zeckendorf have been
negotiating new agreement.
However, still another delay is
expected because the Federal
agencies involved in approving
the transaction can not agree
on who should re-appraise the
land.
Some Washington real estate
and construction interests have
maintained for a long time
that the RIA should auction
land to the highest bidder
rather than negotiate with a
single developer. RIA officials
have replied that the expert
ence of urban renewal agencies
in other cities indicates that
better results are obtained from
negotiation.
While Mr.. Zimmerman said
after his remarks in a panel
discussion that he was not
specifically advising District
officials. his remarks had a
direct application to the Town
Center.
Steiner Urges Speed

missioner Richard l.. Steiner
called for faster completion of
Stun clearance projects. such
as the one under way in
Southwest Washington.
To-day, after nearly 10
years the number of COM
pletions stands at 13-two of
which were added last month"
Mr.. Steiner said.
