The pieces of cord were

Gen. LeMay Calls
 for Unified Control of U. s. Services

NEW YORK, R - Air Force Gen. Curtis E. Lemay said Satur- day that all the strategic forces -"must come under central con- trol."
 The Deputy Chief of Staff of the Air Force apparently referred to the previously proposed plan for centralized overall direction of the strategic long-range bomb CTS, missiles and carrier lanes of the various services. But in a pre- pared Armed Forces Day speech LeMay did not go into details on this point.
 The general, former Chief of the Strategic Air Command, summed up the present strength of the Air Force, Army and Navy, and referred to new weapons and warning systems now coming into use. Then he said:
 "The Soviets can overtake us but l don't think the Soviets can do this unless we let them. They can't if we plan for the future. To keep this from happening we must keep on developing new and more advanced weapon systems, such as the BIO, Ca long-range supersonic bomber) and Minuteman Ga solid fuel intercontinental ballistic mis- sile) and all the strategic forces must come under central control.
 "We must have force that in- sures re-strike capability. This assurance comes with a strategic force that has quality, quantity, dispersal, adequate early warn ing, mobility and alert capability.
 ''This is a counterforce = forces able to destroy the war making capacity of any aggressor.
 "A counterforce gives us an um- brella under which we work for better ways to solve our world problems.

 Minagawa's fatigue clothes were filthy, his patched shorts held up with piece of cloth. In two pouches he carried dirty bandage and brown wooden statuette - a carved image of Buddha.
 The man appeared in very good health. He had lived his lone ly years on coconuts, wild fruits and other jungle foods.
 In 1914 about a week before the United States invaded Guam, he said, his army unit broke up in Sumay where the Japanese 3219th Artillery was located.
 He moved from place to place in the jungle for about two years, careful to avoid farms, villages or roads and finally set up a her mit's hideaway in the area where he was caught In nearly 16 years he did not speak to anyone
 Minagawa is in hospital while immigration officials decide his status. Officials say the holdout story is being investigated and at present the soldier is conidered an alien.

Red Climbers Scale Mt. Everest The Hard Way

TOKYO, tR A radio report said Thursday Soviet-Chinese noun taineering team reached the top of Mt. Everest from the northern slope, a route to the worlds high est peak never before taken suc- cessfully by man.
 An announcement by the Nepal- csc government said the joint Communist team, racing an Indian expedition, lis reported to have reached the peak of Mt. Everest from the northern slope, which was for so long considered in- surmountable."
 In Katmandu, however, govern ment spokesmen said it is "hard to believe" that the Communist team is at the summit.
 Everest first was conquered in 1853 by British expedition climb ing the south side of the peak, a Swiss expedition repeated the feat twice in 1856.
 A report to the Times of India said the Communist expedition is predominantly Chinese although the leader is Russian. The news paper said the expedition prob ably was designed to bolster Chi nese claims on the mountain, which most maps show straddling the border between Nepal and Tibet.
