"You can't get divorced be-
cause you're not married"
That summation of a Rich
nond judges ruling threw three
Navy families into a turmoil
today. In each case Filipino
husbands are married to nom
Filipino wives.
Virginia has an anti-mis-
cegenation law making it a
felony for Caucasians and non
Caucasians to marry.
On this basis Circuit Judge
Clyde H. Jacob affirmed a
lower courts view Tuesday that
Navy Air Steward Gear Calma,
35, and his wife, RoSina Lehr
Szafran Calma, 81, could not
be divorced because-in Vir-
ginia-they aren't validly mar
ried, the Associated Press re-
ported.
Further, he enjoined the Cal
mas from living together.
His ruling started a Filipino
chain reaction.

a critical and direct RESPONSE
bility of the President" Frank
B. Ellis, director of DEP says,
I'VE shall be relying heavily on
the initiative of Governors and
heads of government at all
levels"
Twenty-six Governors have
appointed officials to work with
the DEP on postwar recovery
management, DEP says, and
80 States have taken steps to
provide continuity of State gov
ernments in time of war.
Virginia and Maryland are
among the States which have
approved constitutional amend
ments designating persons who
will take over high State Of
fices in time of disaster, the
DEP says. They have also pro-
vided temporary State capitals
to be opened in non-target
areas.
The DEP wants similar plan
ming at the city and county
level. 1t is urged also that
businessmen and civic leaders
be designated to take over local
government functions if Off
cialS are killed and that civil
ian groups plan to direct emer-
gency distribution of food, fuel,
etc.
The DEP hopes that each
individual home will have a
small stockpile of food, water,
blankets, simple medicines, etc
Two thousand packaged, 200
bed hospitals already are stock
piled around the Nation, and

Nehru Talks
Ending Today
Kennedy Differs
In Several Areas
BY the Associated Press

President Kennedy and Prime
Minister Nehru of India wind up
four days of consultations today
with differences still existing
between them on nuclear test
ing and other major cold war
problems.
Divergence of views may be
reflected in the communique
to be issued by the White House
after a farewell call from the
Indian neutralist in midafter-
noon. Earlier, Mr.. Nehru speaks
at the National Press Club.
At a news conference yester-
day, Mr.. Kennedy made plain
his high regard for Mr.. Nehru,
which the President said had
been heightened by their talks.
But, Mr.. Kennedy also said:
I'VE are going to disagree,
but 1 am sure it is possible
for us to disagree in the frame
work of not charging each
other with bad faith"
Sees New Rapport
An Indian Embassy spokes-
man said that if there is a
disagreement sit can be only
on matters of detail, not on
principle"
The spokesman added that
Mr.. Nehru felt that his meet
ings with Mr.. Kennedy had
established a rapport between
the two men.
Areas of differences between
the two leaders included these
Nuclear testing-Mr. Nehru
wants a voluntary moratorium
resumed; Mr.. Kennedy will not
commit the United States to
a second moratorium with the
Soviet Union.
Summit-Mr. Nehru has
urged Soviet Premier Khru-
shchev and Mr.. Kennedy tt
meet again to avert the threat
of a nuclear war; Mr.. Kennedy
said he has mo plans for 9
summit meeting.
South Wet Nam-Mr. Nehru
is opposed to any introduction
of United States forces on the
grounds it would only worser
matters; Mr.. Kennedy said he
would carefully review the sit
uation and consult with the
Wet Nam government before
deciding what steps are needed
to bolster its fight against Com
munist guerrillas.
Praises Indian
Mr.. Kennedy declared at hi.
news conference that he die
not know of any other worlc
figure more committed to in.
dividual liberty than Mr.
Nehru.
Picking up a phrase used BY
an Indian correspondent whit
asked him if he believed tina
Mr.. Nehru tends to be pro,
Communist, Mr.. Kennedy said
II have never thought tina
Mr.. Nehru works consciousl.
or unconsciously for the Com
munist movement and I know

maintain individual cities and
counties as going concerns
without State or Federal help.
The first planning session
for local post-attack survival
was held recently in Las Vegas.
Two hundred leading citizens
and State and local officials
met with DEP representatives
to tackle the problem.
Similar conferences will be
held in the next few months
in every State, according to
DEP spokesmen. The District
of Columbia has a special sta
tus and is not included in the
DEP program.
DEP officials are convinced
that if local communities are
able to stand on their own
feet for 80 days after an attack
the whole country can survive
But if towns and counties can
not start their own recovery
programs, then the Nation as
a whole might not recover.
Local officials must be able
to perform all of the functions
which in previous emergencies
have been the responsibility OF
State governments, DEP Off
cials say.
They must have standby ra-
tioning and price. rent and
wage control programs. They
must be ready to distribute
food, clothing, medicine and
other necessities, get the econo-
my running, and start decon-
tamination and reconstruction

ton.

Effort 10 Delay
Loop FreeWdY
Planners Told
Lack of Approval
Would Hurt Area
BY GILBERT GIMBLE
Star Staff Writer

The Districts Engineer Com
missioner today attacked pro-
posals to delay the Inner Loop
freeway as lacking facts to sup
port them.
At the same time, the
Commissioner, Brig. Gen. Fred
erick ]. Clarke, announced es-
tablishment of an advisory
board of architects to review
future designs to make certain
new highways meet high es-
thetic standards.
His statement at a crucial
meeting of the National Cap
ital Planning Commission,
warned that delay in the high
way program means delay in
development of the city and
entire region. At the same
meeting spokesmen for the Ma
tional Capital Transportation
Agency and the Fine Arts Com
mission testified in favor of
delay.
II do not know of any facts
or studies which are available
today upon which one could
logically base a request for re-
consideration" Gen Clarke
declared.
He argued that failure by
the planning commission to
approve going ahead with Inner
Loop projects would be a re-
nunciation" by the commission
of its responsibility to provide
sound planning guidance for
development of the Metropoli-
tan area.
He added this warning: 1T
would create an atmosphere of
uncertainty throughout the re-
gion and a loss of faith in the
guidance Of the National Cap
ital Planning Commission and
the Regional Planning Council.
Advisory Role
The NCPC acts in an ad-
visory role to the District
Commissioners on highway
planning. The Board of Com
missioners already has de-
cided to send the Inner Loop
budget items to Congress for
approval but District Build
ing observers say NCPC ap-
proval would help win the ap-
preparations.
In an effort to relieve those
who fear that the highway
program will leave scars across
the city Gen. Clarke said high
way officials will get advice
from the new advisory board
and that it will review all de-
signs.
The three-member board will
include an architect we'll
known in the academic field, a
landscape architect and one Of
recognized standing in the
field of structural design.
Highway officials also will
continue to require consult
ants to hire architects in
preparation of structural de-
signs and will continue to sub
NIT plans to the Fine Arts
Commission for advice.
Gen. Clarke also put in a
strong plea that, along with
continuation of the freeway
, program, support, be given to
development of a rapid tran
sit system now under study
by the National Capital Trans
portation Agency.
IN this manner" he said,
I'VE can provide, on a timely
basis, the highways that are
needed in addition to rapid
transit. At best rapid transit
is = substantial number of
years away but also needs to be
energetically planned and de-
veloped."
Four Action Items
The planning commission
must act on four controversial
Inner Loop items:
Construction of the loop from
Theodore Roosevelt Bridge to
Maine avenue with a tunnel
beneath the Lincoln Memorial
Construction of a large inter
change at Eleventh street S.E
north of the Anacostia River tC

of the loop.

route to basic training, includ- (

who died near here last night 3
in the flaming crash of an
Airlines Constellation.
Only the pilot and the flight
engineer of the big plane sur
vived when it slammed into a
marshy woodland ravine while
trying an emergency landing at {
Byrd Field with two of its four
engines dead.
Working in freezing weather
and in the glare of a battery
of spotlights, firemen played
streams of foam extinguisher on
the Smoldering skeleton Of the

and identifying bodies got un-
derway at daylight.
A Civil Air Patrol officer at /
the scene, 1t. Col. Alfred c..

might never be complete.
"All the bodies were con-
sumed that we're left in the
plane" Col. Nowitsky said.
There was nothing anybody
could do except contain the
fire"

The pilot of the plane, Capt.

Capt. Conway suffered frBm
burns, smoke inhalation and
shock. Mr.. Poythress was
burned about the hands and
face.
In a brief statement to news
men in the emergency room of
the Medical College of Virginia
Hospital, the pilot confirmed
he was trying to land at Byrd
Field and said he wouldn't
want to add anything to it,"
Capt. Conway told his wife
from a hospital bed that his
face had been badly cut.
II can't remember anything
else" Mrs. Conway said at
Hollywood, Fla, after the call.
I'm shaking like a leaf. I'm.

Army Lists 20 Recruits
Earlier, Capt. Conway told
newsmen there were 78 recruits
aboard the plane with its crew
of five. Army lists Of the pas

Thus, in the last test series

fallen only five megatons short
