BiII.Sets Up
Permanent
u. S. Office
BY the Associated Press

President Kennedy today pro-
posed the establishment of a
permanent United States dis
armament agency. 1t would
have sweeping powers to draw
up disarmament plans, negoti-
ate and handle enforcement if
any international arms control
agreement is reached.
Administration aides contend
the new United States agency
first of its kind in the world
would underscore the impor-
lance the United States attaches
to the disarmament problem.
Mr.. Kennedy sent his propo-
sal to Congress in the form of a
bill to set up a United States
disarmament agency for world
peace and security"
Autonomous Bureau
The new, autonomous Federal
bureau would replace the
United States Disarmament
Administration" which now
operates in the State Depart
ment under John j. McCloy,
Mr.. Kennedy's special adviser
on disarmament.
The basic idea is to create
a long-term agency to deal with
a long-term cold war problem
how to check the spiraling
arms race.
A White House statement
said Mr.. Kennedy's plan would
carry out a 1860 Democratic
platform promise. The state
ment said the bill also includes
elements of an arms control
research institute" bill Mr..
Kennedy proposed as a Senator
and peace agency proposals
made by ather Democrats.
The new agency would ex-
pand on the disarmament ad-
ministration. whcih former
President Eisenhower set up
last October.
Mr.. Kennedy wants the new
agency to be headed by a
$22, 500-a year subcabinet-level
director who would be the
Presidents disarmament adj
wiser and would report both
to the President and to the
Secretary Of State,
Foster Name Mentioned
William C. Foster. Who has
held important disarmament,
foreign : affairs and defense
jobs under the past two adj
ministrations and is assisting
Mr.. McCloy now, has been
mentioned for the top post.
Sources said Mr.. Kennedy has
not yet made a decision. Mr..
McCloy, now engaged in pre-
liminary disarmament negotia-
tons with Russia, intends to
retire to a purely advisory role.
Preliminary plans call for
stepping up the 8o-man dis
armament staff to some 200
the first year, raising its budget
from 100000 to .$6-7 million,
and retaining, offices in the
State Department Building in
recognition of the close link
between disarmament and for
eign policy.
The eventual budget could
conceivably run into billions
if an international arms agree
ment is reached that requires
much policing. Kennedy ad-
visers, however, believe Russia
is backing away from any dis
armament accord.

Respiration Tips
Will Save Lives

The swimming and boating
season is at its peak. Swim
ming and boating are lots of
fun. But these summer past
times can turn quickly from
fun to stark tragedy.
1t is particularly important in
the summer to know how to
give artificial respiration to the
swimmer who sinks. The vic.
TINS life may depend on quick
and educated action. Few peo-
pie can survive more than six
minutes without oxygen and
many would be dead in four
minutes.
The two most commonly used
methods of artificial respiration
are mouth-to-mouth breathing
and the back-pressure arm-lift
technique, according to an ar
ticle in the August issue of To-
days Health, the magazine of
the American Medical Associa-
ton.
The mouth-to-mouth method:
Lay the victim flat on his back
and tilt his head backward.
Hold his jaw forward. Take a
deep breath. Seal your mouth
around the vic tim S mouth.
Blow into his lungs. Stop blow
ing when you see his chest ex-
pand. Listen to him exhale
while you inhale. Repeat the
cycle 20 times a minute.
The back-pressure arm-lift
method: Lay victim face down,
hands under cheeks. Turn his
face to one side so nose and
mouth are exposed. Place your
hands on the victims back,
thumbs almost touching and
fingers spread. The base of
your palms should be just be-
low his shoulder blades. Keep
ing elbows straight, rock slowly
forward, exerting gradually in
creasing pressure. This expels
bad air. After pressing down
ward, grasp victims arms above
the elbows and rock slowly
backward. Draw victims arms
Upward until you feel tension
at his shoulder. This will ex-

Mehring reasoned the office
on the strength of a Montgom-
cry County Circuit Court ruling
that ousted his elected success
sor, A. Victor Gentilini, on a
technicality.
Gentilini, who defeated Mayor
Mehring in the town election
last June, was disqualified be-
cause he failed to appear before
the clerk of the Circuit Court to
be sworn in within 30 days af-
ter the election. At Monday
nights meeting. Mehring pre-
sided over the council for the
first time since the court order.
The interim mayor-Gentilini
appeared at the meeting and
demanded Mehring's resigna-
ton "if he really is interested in
realizing the wishes of the peo-
pie" His suggestion was greet
ed by applause from the aud
fence, but Mehring made no re-
ply.
However, the council did pro.
pose that q special election be
held on April 10 to settle the
mayoralty issue, but declined to
