District Home
Raiders Find
Modern Still

Revenue agents and District
police yesterday raided a North
west still and found $50 gallons
of fermenting mash and nine
gallons of whisky ready for
bottling.
Agents said it was the first
raid in the city in more than
a year, although there have
been raids in nearby areas.
The raid was made on a brick
row house in the 400 block of
Ridge street NV. by five agents
of the Alcohol and Tobacco
Tax Division and three District
policemen.
The kitchen of the house
was occupied by a 100-gallon
Stainless-steel pot-type still
which W. M. Kiefer, the agent
in charge, described as rare
in this area. He said the still
was of the average" size found
in cities but small by rural
. standards.
Mr.. Kiefer said the still was
in operation at the time of
the raid. The nine gallons of
whisky were found in a round,
open-topped pot beneath the
condenser coils. Seven large
vatS held the fermenting mash,
which Mr.. Kiefer said would
produce 40 gallons of whisky.
Gallon jugs and 48 half-pint
whisky bottles also were found.
The agent in charge said the
whisky is known as Sugar
Head" and is usually sold for
$3.50 a half pint.
He described the distilling
process as elementary but
effective" Consumers, how
ever, he said, run the risk of
getting lead poisoning from the
lead solder around the copper
tubing used in the condensing
process.
The only occupant of the
house was taken into custody.
He was Robert Ford, SO, of the
900 block of N street NV. He
listed his occupation as a
butcher when he was charged
by District police with possess
sion of untaxed whisky.
Mr.. Kiefer said Ford also
faces Federal charge of fail
ure to register a still.
The agent said he believed
the still had been in operation
less than six months.
He based this on the compa-
ratively clean condition of the
kitchen floor, which would be
torn up by barrels being moved
around. He also pointed out
that neighborS soon would have
noticed the fumes from the
fermenting mash as we'll as the
delivery of corn, rye, sugar and
yeast.

PROVIDENCE, R. l., Aug. 26
(AP).-A couple of Rhode Is

returned home from two weeks
training today, telling of a
dockside chat with the Pres

with the Kennedy clan.
Anthony M. Ferraro, 25, q
CranSton English teacher in
civilian life, and Howard H
Irving, 25, a Providence social
worker, were stationed at Otis
Air Force Base on Cape Cod.
Their softball game, incident
ally, was called at the end OF
five innings to allow the Pres

second base.
Their social saga began
Thursday, when they took
refuge from rain in the base
gym to shoot some baskets.
They were soon joined by two
boys and girls, and basketball
drill led to piggyback rides and
wrestling on the gym mats.
The children asked the air.

said they had to get back to
the barracks. About that time
along came Sandy Eiler, the

Chief While, an engineering

Squadron 661 will be sta
toned at least at present, at
the Patuxent River Naval Air
Station, too far away for Chief
While to commute. His family
will stay in Baltimore.
Many of the units activated
by the order are highly skilled
groups trained to do special
jobs. Squadron 661 is no ex-
ception. It's a 12-plane squad
ron charged, for the most part,
with spotting subs along the

is a first line of defense.

is typical of the activated
units. If it is, the communities
in which the newly activated

Families Can't
Go TO Europe
With Reserves
By the Associated Press

The Army said yesterday
that National Guardsmen and
reservistS who may be sent to
Europe cannot take dependents
with them during their travel
overseas.
But later families can be
brought over under regular
procedures.
In a news conference Friday,
Secretary of Defense Nc
Namara said that ANY aug
mentation Of the forces in
Europe will be made by forces
without dependents" At an
other point he was asked "if
any National GuardSmen go
they will not take along de-
pendents?"
THAT is right" Mr.. Nc
Namara replied.
Army Clarifies Remark
When Army Spokesmen were
asked yesterday about this they
said that apparently the ex-
planation given at the confer
ence was not complete. They
said the situation will be this:
Dependents will not be per-
mited to accompany guardsmer
or reservists who will go to Eu-
rope under the concurrent
travel provisions.
However, once the Servicenlar
arrives, he will be entitled to
apply for permission to bring
dependents, if he qualities. Tc
do this, he must be of a grade
Of at least corporal and have
four years or more of service
in a unit.
This also entities him to ap-
ply for government transporta
ton of dependents.
Cite Quarter Difficulties
Upon arrival overseas, he
may put himself on a waiting
list for dependent order quar-
terS. The wait varies from a few
weeks in some areas to as much
as 36 weeks in others.
If he does not want to wait
or prefers housing other than
government provided quarters
he can rent a house. He pays
the rent, although he does gel
some rental allowance to help
out.
On other points concerning
the dependents, Secretary Nc
Namara said that no action OF
decision has been taken on re-
turning dependents already in
foreign countries. The depend
entS of regular military person
mel who already are in Europe
are continuing to move to ioin
the SerVicemen.

Five Top Ranking Soviet
Officers Die in Air Crash

LONDON Up = The Soviet
News Agency said yesterday five
high ranking officers of the So
Wet armed forces have died in an
aviation catastrophe.

The others were identified as
Gen. S. N. PereVertkin, 1t. Gen

Kelpakchi, 81, was a veteran of

held various commands during
which he won many decorations,

1856.
Tass provided no details Of the
accident, but it seemed likely a
number of other persons must
have been killed. In addition to
the flight crew, an aircraft with
SO many high-ranking officers
aboard would almost certainly
have carried a number of their
aides.
The announcement gave no
clues to the point of origin or
destination of the fatal flight.
The secrecy aroused specula-
ton that the accident might have
had some connection with So
Wet space exploits.

Soviets Agree to
Help Supply Laos
Peace Commission
BY Arthur Gavshon

GENEVA Up = Under prodding
by Canada, the Soviet Union
agreed today to help solve the
urgent problem of supplying the
Control Commission in Laos with
equipment needed to preserve the
peace.
The 14-nation conference here
sent off a message to the COM
mission what it needed in the way
of planes, helicopters, trucks and
communications equipment for
patrolling the Laotian jungles.
Foreign Secretary Howard c.
Green of Canada brought up the
question of supply, declaring the
need was imperative. Conference
sources said he thus put the issue
squarely up to Soviet Foreign
Minister Gromyko.
Rather than assume a stalling
attitude before the conference,
Gromyko agreed to Green's pro-
posal, these sources said.
The action represented the first
fully defined achievement in four
days of lengthy and complex con-
ference negotiations on Laos.
Indian delegate V. K. Krishna
Menon told neWsmen he under
stood the United States, Britain
and the Soviet Union were ready
to help out the truce teams with
planes, heicopters and other
equipment.
India is chairman of the three

Canada are the other members.

dian pilots could fly the Western
aircraft and Poles the Soviet ma

Death Ruled as Homicide
80 Years After Fight

DETROIT, Mich. Up = Joseph
Fields lived 80 years with a knife
blade in his chest. He died last
Monday at SO.
Yesterday his death was ruled
a homicide.
There will be no prosecution,
however. Under Michigan law a
death occurring more than a year
and a day after an assault can
not be legally attributed to the
assault.
An X-ray in 1859 showed a
broken 3-inch knife blade i'm
bedded in Fields chest. He said
it was a pocket knife blade which
broke off in a fight "about 80
years ago."
Doctors decided it was too dan
gerous to attempt to remove the
blade.
Fields had been i'll with dia-
betes and a heart condition be-
fore his death. But after an au-
topsy DR.. Theodore S. Rosen,
ruled his death homicide.

JFK Signs Legislation
Creating 70 New

WASHINGTON Up = President
Kennedy today signed legislation
creating 70 new federal judge
ships, including one in Alaska.
Kennedy put his signature to
this bill in a White House cere-
mony attended by group Of
legislators. He used 10 pens and
distributed them.
With 70 new judgeships and %
present vacancies, Kennedy will
have more judicial appointments
to make than any other President
at one time.
This is sore spot with Repub
licans. Some of them have charged
the Democratic-c controlled Con-
gress was creating more judge
ships than necessary in order to
provide Kennedy with choice
political patronage. They contend
too that there was stalling of
action while Republican Eisen
hover was President.
Federal judges are appointed
by the President for life with APP
proval of the Senate District
judges are paid $22,50O a year
and Circuit judges $4,000. They
continue to receive full pay after
retirement.
