Before his own checkup to-
day, the President visited his
seriously i'll father in st. Mary's
Hospital. Mr.. Salinger said
there was no change in the
basic condition of Joseph p.
Kennedy, partially paralyzed
and speechless from a stroke
he suffered a week ago yester-
day, but there was improve
ment in the mild pneumonia
that the older Mr.. Kennedy
developed over the Christmas
week end.
The President also arranged
to take a cruise this afternoon
on the 92-foot presidential
yacht Honey Fitz.
Mr.. Kennedy has a long
history Of trouble with his
back, starting with at football
injury while he was at Har-
ward. His back was hurt again
during World War II when a
Japanese destroyer rammed
and sank his PIT Boat 109. He
later under went two serious
operations that failed to fully
correct the back trouble.
While shoveling dirt in a
tree-planting ceremony on an
official visit to Canada last
May, the President sprained
his back again.

BADMAN OF OLD WEST?
Al Jennings Is Dead at SO

TARZANA, Calf, Dec. 27
(AP) Alfonso Jackson CAD
Jennings, train robber, ex-
convict, lawyer, lecturer, evan
gelist, politician, movie celeb
rity and chicken rancher, is
dead at SO.
The self-styled bantam bad
man from the Oklahoma bad
lands died yesterday in his
tree-Shaded white frame house.
His nephew, Tillman v. Eg-
gleston, said AL had been de-
Spondent since the recent death
of his wife Maude, 81, and twas
suffering the illnesses of old
age"
But despite AL Jennings
death, the controversy he Gre
ated still lives:
Was he really a desperate of
the Jesse James or Dalton
Gang caliber? Or was tiny AL,
only a lick and a spit over S
feet tall, just a onetime loser,
a luckless train-robber, who
caShed in on a legend.
AL said he was once a horse
thief and declared: Some of
the finest men I ever knew
were horse thieves" He also
claimed he killed more men
than he could count-all in
self defense.
But author Stuart Lake,
Western scholar and a biogra-
pher of Wyatt carp, says
There's no record of AL ever
killing anyone"
AL said he was a feared out

the new wave in the Middle
East. President Nasser could
hardly afford to remain tied to
the feudal Red Sea monarch,
who published a poem attackl
ing President Nasser's Arab
socialism after the break with
Syria.
The association between
President Nasser and the
Imam-theoretically co-presi-
dents in the UAS-neyer ap-
preached the working relation
ship that President NaSser had
with Syria. 1t was a limited
association in defense, cultural
and economic affairs. The
U. A. r. bore most of the cost.
Nasser Got Prestige
In return President NaSser
got the prestige of influence
outside his own country. The
Imam won immunity from the
stinging attacks Of President
Nasser's radio. Voice of the
Arabs. This immunity ended
last Saturday when President
NaSser made a speech accusing
Yemen, Jordan and Saudi
Arabia of opposing his sociali-
cation program.
Now that the hands-off pol
icy has ended, Yemeni exileS in
Beirut say the Imam and his
son, Crown Prince Mohamme6
Al-Badr, will be hard pressed
to defend themselves.
The Imam's throne has been
a shaky one recently. Last
March he was severely wounded
in an assassination attempt,
one of several close escapes
from his enemies.

from Yemen two weeks ago re-
ported the discovery CT another

New Vaccine Fiqhts
Exclusive Army Cold

tests eliminated up to 90 per
cent of the adenovirus cases
needing disqualification.
The vaccine was turned over
to private manufacture for the
Army. The maSs-production
vaccine was given recruits and
reduced disqualification Sc to 80
per cent.
Between February and April
Of 1860. all new recruits got the
vaccine. One immunized bat
talon had about two-thirds less
hospital admissions than a
comparable battalion that be-
gan training one week earlier
and missed the vaccine injec-
tionS.
Production difficulties stopped
the supply of vaccine in April
but it became available again
in August, 1860. It was routine
ly used for recruits until May
OF 1861, when a new monkey
virus called SV40 was isolated
and discovered in some patches
Of Salk polio vaccine and the
adenovirus vaccines.
The presence of SV40, though
not proved harmful, is enough
to take a vaccine off the mark
ct. A Public Health Service
regulation bars the sale of vac
cines containing virus strains
other than those needed in the
vaccine.
DR.. Robert w. Sherwood,
chief of the communicable dis
ease branch, preventive medi-
cine division, in the Office of
the Army Surgeon General,
said he hoped the Army's
adenovirus vaccine would be
cleared soon.

Sail to Meet
Iroq Threat

LONDON, Dec. 27 (AP).-
British officials today disclosed
a little armada is hurrying to-
ward the Persian Gulf oil
sheikdom of Kuwait to meet
a suspected Iraqi military
threat.
The Admiralty said that at
least six warships, led by the
27 ,000-ton aircraft carrier
Centaur, have sailed from the
East African base of Mombasa
for an unannounced destina-
ton.
Other officials reported that
the ships-which include two
frigates, a tank landing ship
and two big fleet auxiliaries-
are heading for the Kuwait
area. g..
They added several other
precautionary British fleet
moves are under way but are
still secret.
Reserve Alerted
Besides sending the small
armada toward Kuwait, the De-
fense Ministry alerted elements
of the strategic reserve in this
country, the Middle East and
East Africa for possible move
ment on 12-hour notice.
Ships sailing from Mombasa
included the frigates Plymouth
and Loeb Alvie, the tank land
ing ship Striker, and the supply

erance of the loose federation
that joined the little Arabian
peninsula kingdom of Yemen
to the United Arab Republic.
President Nasser broke the
tie with Yemen last night, ap-

the Imam Ahmed, to President
Nasser's accelerating program
to convert the U.A.R. to So

Three Princes
Meet in Laos,
Talks Collapse
PurIey Lasts Hour;
Sudden Outcome
Shocks Diplomats

VIENTIANE, Laos. Dec. q
(AP0 - The heralded three
princes meeting apparently
collapsed today in less than ar
hour.
After menths of maneuvering
by Laotian politicians and
pressure by foreign diplomats,
neutralist Prince Souvanna
Phouma and his pro- Communist
half-brother Souphanouvong
arrived for talks with pro-
Western Premiec Boun Gum
on formation of a coalition
government.
Prince Boun Gum neither
met them at the airport nor
went to the appointed meeting
place. Growing impatient, the
two visiting princes finally paid
a courtesy call on Prince Boun
Gum at his residence. The
meeting lasted less than an
hour.
Prince Boun Oum told news
men that AS far as he was
concerned there was no further
need of a princely meeting
adding:
"The two princes came tc
see me and we talked, there
you had your princely meeting"
Diplomats Depressed
The outcome astounded and
depressed diplomats in this
little kingdom, who had
watched the weeks of haggling
over trivial arrangements for
the meeting. Their hopes never
had been high. Some had
agreed it would take a miracle
for an agreement to be
reached.
On arriving in this capital
Prince Souphanouvong did
nothing to help the atmosphere.
He denounced American war
mongers" and Prince Boun
Gums pro-Western govern
ment. Prince Souvanna'S tone,
however, was conciliatory.
The quick breakup of the
meeting apparently angered
both. and they refused Prince
Boun Gums invitation to
dinner.
Although the quick fizzling
of the conference verged on
the comic, it could have tragic
consequences for this small
Southeast Asian nation which
was threatened with becoming
a Korean-like battle-ground all
through this year.
BOun Gum Adamant
Prince Boun Oum said he did
not plan to meet the two visi-
tors again. He told newsmen:
II told Souvanna Phouma,
You have not yet given any
proof of neutrality. Every time
you speak about neutrality your
troops and the Wet Mini

attack our posts. The people
and elite of Vientiane have no

uary was disclosed as the Pres
ident made plans to continue

sage, which the President plans
to deliver personally before a
Joint session of the Senate and
House soon after Congress re-
convenes January 10, and the
final budget review began at a

greSs last January was the
last of the Eisenhower admin
istration. AS practical matter,
however, Congress made so
many changes in it at Mr.. Ken

his own. Many of the changes
were increases in defense end
space programs.
Besides Secretary Dillon and
Budget Director David E. Bell,

Mr.. Kennedy are:

all-around aide who has the
title of special counsel; Walter
