NAVY TRADITION TOPPLES; NAVE GETS SEA ~- DUTY--san Diego (AFPs )--"The Navy has told ne I'm sort of trial balloon," says Wave IT Charlene Suneson, whose assi gnnent as a line officer aboard the Gen. V. A. MANN topples a l86yea1t Navy tradi tion.
 "If they don't send any more Wome1a to sea-" adds the lieutenant, "you'11 know why. /"
 Her assi gmnent to the Mann, which ferries troops and dependents betWeert the West Coast and the Far East, ,real4 izes a longtime ambition of IT Sunesor1, z veteran of seven years in the Navy.
 She plans to acquire a good working knowledge of nautical terms and ship-I board procedure before reporting. There is 8 shortage of male line officers, she added. TT think live been assigned to sea duty so the Navy can find out what jobs women can do effectively"
 Navy line off cers deal primarily with naval commands, dis tinct from staff officers who serve in supply and medical and other special fields.
 Aboard the Mann, where she will rel port early next, year, IT Suneson will shoro- laundry and mess facilities with the other ships off icers but will have a private room of her own.
 Chief Funcleon says having woman for a boss isn't new to most of the Navy's married men.

 HOLY???
 By: FRANCIS A. FAY
 You hear it dozens of times each day, because it is a word that has been recently given wide and repeated use. Within an hour I heard it used to describe a high-ranling naval off, ficer, a country doctor, a parish priest.
 Unlike the words which fill half dictionary column, the word under consideration has only two 1.eanings. The secondary meaning is Ian inscrlp- tion on gift." The primary meaning is the process of solerm1y setting apart for sacred use." Since few people seem to use the word in . con- text calling for its secondary mean ing, one must presume that when peo- pie use the word 'dedi icati on" they are aware of it's sacred or religious implication. ....~-. .. . dedicated nan is one who has been set aside for holy purpose.

Pope John xxHI
 Makes Strong Plea | or Christian Unity In Modern World

VATICAN CITY R Pope John xxIII Saturday made the most powerful plea of his reign for Christian unity in the modern world.
 The Pope made his appeal in issuing an encyclical on Pope Leo I, the great Fifth Century Pom tiff.
 Appealing for the unity of all Christians, Pope John expressed the hope that the day bringing "the dawn of universal recon ciliation" would come soon.
 Leo, who became a saint of the Roman Catholic Church, stood up to Attila the Hun, dissuading him from attacking Rome.
 But the great Pontiff was es- pecially noted for his light for church unity at time when the church faced heresy both in the East and the West, and the de- clining power of the Roman em- pire faced the assaults of bar barian hordes.
 Vatican sources said that the Pontiff obviously intended h:s encyclical on Leo as call to the worlds Christian forces to band together against the threat of atheistic Communism today.
 The encyclical, from it's open ing words in Latin, is named "Aeterna Dei Sapienta" the eternal wisdom cf God.
 Its issuance in advance of the Roman Catholic Church's first Ecumenical Council in nearly 100 years emphasized Pope Johns deep concern with Christian unity. a subject upon which he has fre- quently touched in the three years of his reign.
 The Pope is expected to an nounce the openilig date of the Council soon. possibly in his Christmas message to the world or Dec. 21. The Council will be pri. marily devoted to internal affairs of the Roman Catholic Church but Pope John has indicated his hopes that it would be a ster toward union of all Christians. II | is expected to start in about a year.

Congo Operation To Cost LIN. $1Q Million Per Month

UNITED NATIONS, NY. R The General Assembly got the sad news Saturday. It will have to continue paying out at least $10 million month to keep the JUN. Congo operation going.
 Acting Secretary General U Than. told the 103-nation world body that the blow-up in Katanga made 1t impossible for him to es- innate how high the Congo cost would run in 1862. But he made plain 1t would not go below the $l0-an;llion mark for months to come.
 The task of guiding the Congo operation becomes possible of achievement,' Thant said in his 600-word message, "only if can count on the good will of member governments and especially their readiness to provide financial sup port"
 Thant has been trying to drum up approval for his plan to float a $200-million bond issue to keep the UN. out of bankruptcy until September when the next As sembly convenes.
 This would mean borrowing three times the amount of the an nual JUN. budget. It results from refusal of the Soviet Union and other nations to pay cent toward the Congo bill or for the LIN. emergency force in the Middle East.
 The United States, in addition to paying its Congo assessment of nearly $36 million, is contributing more than SIS million to help de- fray 50 per cent or more of the assessments of the small nations.

 Krenalin's Bomb Arsenal Is Ready Should War Come

MOSCOW R Premier Khrush- chev asserted Saturday the Soviet Union has nuclear bombs of even bigger than 100 megatons and for the first time seemed to tell the world the super bomb is a terror weapon in dealing with the West. The rockets that sent Soviet as- tronauts into orbit can deliver super r-bombs any place on earth, he warned.
 Declaring the Soviet super- bomb arsenal is ready should war come, the Premier said the Vest ern powers do not yet have nu- clear bomb of even 30 megatons and added:
 The 50 and 100-megaton bombs will always hang over their heads like the sword of Damocles.''
 His voice sometimes rising to a shout, Khrushchev addressed more than I ,0O0 labor leaders from around the world assembled in the Kremlin for the Congress of the Communist dominated World Federation of Trade Unions. In a wide-range speech, he also laughed off President Ken nedy's recent proposal for inter national control over supply lines to West Berlin.
 The audience sat icy still when he uttered his Sword of Damo- cles" sentence. This referred to the ancient Greek tale of the court flatterer Damocles, forced to sit at Dionysius table with sword suspended over him by single hair.
 But Khrushchev was cheered repeatedly as he spoke of Soviet might in world politics with weap- ons exceeding the equivalent of 100 million tons of TINT. He vow ed never to use the weapons ex- cept in defense of the Soviet Union.
 sBut we shall certainly use this weapon against the enemy if they unleash new war the Premier added,
 Again accusing the West of war preparations and forcing the So- viet Union to resume nuclear tests including a 50-megaton shot in September, the Pre- nier said i've would be slohber- Ing Idiots if we did not carry out the nuclear tests. ,

grew steadily, although the Gu
ban fiasco accounted for a tenn
porary dip. He convinced certain
wary ProteStantS that, as the first
Catholic in history to be Presi-
dent, nothing terrible would oc-
cur.
But though Mr.. Kennedy was
highly popular. according to pub
lie opinion polls, some of his do
mestic plans and foreign policy
moves were not. And there seemed
to be, according to Republicans
who elected a Senator from Tex
as for the first time, and some
independent observers, a conserv-
ative trend in motion in the
United States. If this is so, the
congressional elections next No
vember could produce a Congress
which would make the second
half Of his term more difficult,
legiSlatively, than the first.
Mr.. Kennedy faces the new
year with great problems to be
met, where wrong steps could
easily lead to disasters and de-
featS. But, as he himself has said,
the opportunities are even great
er. And, it might be noted, he is
President of 185,227 ,492 million
persons as of midnight to-
night. That is nearly 3 million
more Americans than there were
when he took office,

He appointed a Negro Ambas-
sador, Negro judges. Negroes in
sub-cabinet posts. He appointed
Vice President Lyndon johnson as
chairman of a revitalized Presi-
dents Committee on Equal EN-
ployment Opportunity. He ordered
an end to discrimination within
the Government and by Govern
ment contractors. His brother,
the Attorney General, was quick
to defend Negro rights and prose-
cute those who sought to abridge
them.
This was a good deal in one
year, but it was not as much as
Mr.. Kennedy and the Democratic
Party platform had promised, nor
as much as the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement Of
Colored People demanded. The
President did not recommend new
rights legislation.
