BY GARNETT d. HORNER
Star Staff Writer


President Kennedy said today
that he sincerely believes this
country's ability to retain its
world position and security will
be strongly tested" in the next
four years.
The President also told his
news conference that while he
hopes the United States is
fully secure" in its defenses,
at the moment he has no clear
answer as to whether there is
a missile gap-that is, a Rus
sian lead over this country in
missile strength.
Mr.. Kennedy made his COM
ment on the outlook for the
next four years when a reporter
asked him whether he had been
painting the picture blacker
than it was for "shock pur-
poses."
Mr.. Kennedy affirmed that he
sincerely believes what he said
in his state-of-the- Union ad-
dress about Americas position
being strongly tested over the
next four years. He added that
he believed anyone would come
to the same conclusion who
looks at the globe, at the in
creasing power Of the Com
munist bloc and the beiligerency
which marks that bloc, par
ticularly the Chinese Commu-
niStS.
First Question Asked
On the matter Of missile
strength, the first question
asked Mr.. Kennedy urged him
to clear up confusion about
whether there is a missile gap''
between the United States and
Russia.
A reporter reminded him that
an official identified in some
newspapers as Secretary of
Defense Mcnamara has been
quoted as saying that the missile
gap which was expected and
talked about so much did not
exist. nor did he see prospects
Of it." The reporter added that
Pierre Salinger, White House
press secretary. had denied
these stories.
The President replied that
Mr.. Mcnamara had told him
that mo study had been con-
Ncluded in the Defense Depart
ment which would lead to any
conclusion at this time as to
whether there is a missile gap
or not" The Defense Secre-
tary hopes to have a prelimi-
nary STUDY completed Dy FeDru.

Senator Harry F. Byrd. Dem

Senate to reject President Ken

borrow funds from the Treas

Ten-Year Plan
The City Council had been
considering annexation fol-
more than 10 years before il
filed a petition in the winter
of 1860. Although the city and
county almost reached agree
ment for an uncontested an
nexation in 1859, the atmos-
phere a year later was ex-
tremely hostile. The supervisors
met with groups all over the
county in the summer Of 1850
and petitions in opposition to
annexation were filed with the
court on behalf of approxi-
mately $500 persons.
At that time the county con-
tended that for the city to take
1925 pc rcent Of the county's
total taxable values would
wreck the county financially

in 1859, buN told the Alex
andria Federal Court he doesn't
have it now.
Mr.. Austin and his wife, Vir-
ginia, of 204 Westfield street,
is named in three suits as a CO.
defendant, along with the gov
ernment Of Cuba.
Two of the firms, the Ber-
lanti Construction Co., Inc, of
New York, and the Reynolds
Metals Corp, are seeking dam
ages against Cuba totaling $l2.5
million.
In claims filed early this
week, the Berlanti firm said
Cuba owes it IS million for
breach of contract and the
Reynolds company said Cuba
seized some 81 million worth of
its property.
Later, a Dallas CTexD firm,
Tecon, said a Dade County
(Fla) circuit court awarded it
a SIS million judgment against
Cuba for breach of contract.
All three firms asked Judge
Albert v. Bryan of the Alex
andria Court to take their
claims out of the $12.5 million
check they said Mr.. Austin
received, as a trustee, from the
Cuban government in 1859.
Judge Bryan, however, ruled
yesterday his court has no
jurisdiction over the Berlanti
claim because legal papers have
not been served on Cuba. He
continued the suit and an at
tachment served late Tuesday
against the AustinS, barring
them from getting rid of the
check Mr.. Austin says he
doesn't have. for 20 days while
Berlanti attorneys attempt
service.
At the same time, after Mr..
Austin'S testimony yesterday,
Judge Bryan denied a motion
for an injunction that also
wound bar the AustinS from
disposing Of the check.
Mr.. Austin testified he was
