Two American F-104 jet
fighter planes we're struck by
lightning and damaged while
on a training mission over
Spain, United States Air Force
officials reported today. Both

tendorf, Iowa, and Woodruff
B. Halsey of Manchester, N. H.
Neither was injured.
1t. Halsey said they were
flying at 10000 feet in thick
clouds last Friday when "the
bolt hit Linihan's ship first,
then jumped to mine. 1t lit
up Linihan's plane like a neon
sign"

Welfare Secretary Ribicoff, ex-

expected to arrive momentarily
on Capitol Hill.
Senator Morse, Democrat of
Oregon, asked for the letter last
week after his school grant
idea was rejected in a House
floor vote.
Mr.. Ribicoff was expected to
show clearly that the District
allotment would not be taken
from money otherwise avail
able for States and that the
principle justifying the pro-
gram was identical in the Dis
trict and the States.
This principle is that the
Federal Government owes To-

BERLIN, Sept. 25 (AP).-
Gen. Lucius D. Clay, President
Kenredy's new envoy to Berlin,
had an hours talk with West
German Presiednt Heinrich
Luebke today on the situation
in divided Berlin and Ger

A spokesman for Mr.. Luebke
said the meeting was held in a
cordial atmosphere at Bellevue
Castle, Mr.. Luebke's official
residence in Berlin. No details
Of the talk were disclosed.
Gen. Clay arrived in Berlin
last week. President Luebke
who lives in the West German
capital of Bonn, came Satur-
day to open West Berlin's new
opera house. In a speech yes

full confidence in the Western

come here to surrender Berlin,
but to defend it as he did ir

the thousands already waiting

The third chair on the
podium, normally filled by the
Secretary General, was empty.
When Mr.. Kennedy entered,
the hundreds of delegates rose,
clapping. Some of the Russians
glanced at Foreign Minister
Andrei Gromyko. He already
was on his feet. He was clap
ping politely.
Mr.. Kennedy's manner today
was much the same as his
solemn bearing when he took
the oath of office last January.
Looks Toward Russians
From time to time he stabbed
toward his manuscript with the
first finger of his right hand.
This was his only gesture.
Frequently, he turned his head
toward the Russians. They were
sitting in front-row seats on his
left. AS he spoke, some appeared
to be following the speech from
a printed text. Others kept
earphones on. Once, a Soviet
delegate exchanged a smile
with Mr.. Gomyko when Mr..
Kennedy said lit is absurd to
allege that we are threatening
war"
Most of the hundreds of dele
gates, however, kept their eyes
riveted on the President. The
six outburStS of applause seemed
wholly spontaneous.
AS he came to his last words,
Mr.. Kennedy dropped his voice.
He raised his head, so that his
jaw jutted slightly. Slowly, he
intoned the words:
a. and then we shall earn
the eternal thanks of mankind
as peacemakers, the eternal
blessings of God"
He bowed slightly.
The chamber, for a split sec
ond, was a vast pool of stiffness.
Then it exploded with applause.

UNITED NATIONS, N, Y

UNIT E D NATIONS, N. Y,
Sept. 25 (AP).-John F. Ken
nedy was never more solemn,
and never more forceful, than
when he stood before the United
Nations today in one of its most
dangerous hours.
His audience in the huge
General Assembly hall listened
intently, hardly moving-except
when they burst into applause.
Six times in the 38-minute
speech, waves of laundering ap-
.proval for his words swept
across the chamber. When he
finished speaking, the clapping
lasted nearly 40 seconds.
The Soviet delegation Saluted
him only once. That was when
he entered the hall. They did
not applaud when he closed his
speech.
Mr.. Kennedy has been more
eloquent. During his campaign
for election, he often stirred
crowds to wild frenzies of feel
ing.
Like An Attorney
Today, he seldom raised his
voice, seldom stressed a word.
His keynote, perhaps, lay in the
simple statement, this is not
the time Or the place for i'm
moderate tones"
He was like an attorney, in
a summation speech to the jury,
pleading for reason and careful
judgment.
His wife, Jacqueline, heard
the speech from a seat on the
floor, to the left of the dais. She
entered the chamber some 10
minutes before he did and sat

In addition, it allows broad

Electors Bound by Oath
The final version of the
measure requires the listing or
the ballot of presidential anc
vice presidential candidates
rather than all electors.
1t also binds electors by oath
to vote for presidential and vice
presidential candidates of their
parties.
The bill was handled on the
floor today by Representative
Davis, Democrat of Georgia,
who earlier this year conducted
hearings on how the 23rd
Amendment should be imple-
mented. He explained to House
members that the legislation
merely amends an existing
statute under which local citi-
zenS have been able to vote for
delegates to national political
conventions.

today gave the United Nations
a new three-stage Program
for General and Complete Dis
armament in a Peaceful World"
The action followed Presi-
dent Kennedy's announcement
of the nuclear disarmament
sections of the new plan.
American officials described
the new plan as very original"
and very bold"
The boldneSS, it appeared,
Stemmed from United States
willingness to move immedi-
ately in the first stage of dis
armament toward deep cuts in
both conventional and nuclear
power.
| Would Cut Forces
The plan calls for a reduc-
ton in armed forces for the
United States and the Soviet
Union to 81 million men.
Previously the United States
had proposed cuts to only 2.5
million men. but the first stage
of the earlier program covered
a shorter period of time.
The United States also pro-
posed prohibiting the transfer
of fashionable materials or nu-
clear weapons to non-nuclear
powers.
This has been United States
policy in the past, insisted upon
in Congress where there has
been fear that United States
nuclear weapons will fall into
the hands of irresponsible for
eign elements.
The first stage of the United
States plan calls for establish
ment of an International Dis
armament Organization within
the U. N. framework; reduction
of armed forces and arma-
ments; containment and reduc-
ton of the nuclear threat; lini-
ations on strategic delivery
systems for nuclear weapons;
peaceful use of outer space;
reduction of war risks from ac-
cident, miscalculation or sur
prise attack; strengthening of
United Nations peace-keeping
machinery, including establish
ment of a U. N. peace obServa-
ton group stated by a stand
ing corps of observers.
Drops Aerial Inspection
The surprise attack section
dropped the Eisenhower ad-
miniStration'S emphasis on
aerial inspection, but kept the
Russian proposal for ground
observation posts at ports and
rail, motor and air centers.
| The plan calls merely for
"such additional inspection ar
rangements to reduce the dan
ger of surprise attack as may
be agreed"
Stage 2 provides for enlarg-
ing the powers and RESPONSE
bilities of the International
Disarmament Organization;
further reductions of armed
forces and ornaments below
the 81 million-man level, but
to no stated ceiling: further
reduction of nuclear Stockpiles;
further reductions of missile
stocks; and establishment of a
United Nations Peace Force to
take over progressively the ad-
ministration of the world in
which war would be becoming
less likely.
/ Stage 3 envisages the COM
pletion of disarmament and
the establishment of a system
of world order centered in the
United Nations.

United States announced agree

Seven years after the Su-

House 10 Offer
Compromise
On Aid Funds
Senator'S Ponder
$50 Billion Plan
To End Delays
BY J. A. OLEARY
Star Staff Writer

House conferees were pre-
pared today to offer the Senate
a compromise figure of $3,907,-
100000 on the foreign aid bill,
one of three measures prevent
ing adjournment of Congress,
If the Senate managers accept
this Stttlement, which is half
way between the $4.2 billion
voted by the Senate ard the
$3.6 billion approved by the
House, adjournment would be
close.
Senate Democratic Leader
Mansfield indicated he hopes
Congress can complete its work
tonight or tomorrow.
Consent Needed
Much will depend on whether
he can get unanimous consent
to take up the 81 billion catch
all supplemental appropriation
bill today. Under the rules,
one objection could put it off
until tomorrow.
Shortly after noon, Senator
Prouty, Republican of Vermont,
made that objection, but said
he might change his mind later
in the day.
The third bill still pending
is the $50 billion domestic
public works bill and confereeS
are in session trying to settle
the differences in that bill.
1t is understood the $3.9 bill
lion foreign aid offer by the
House managers includes the
first year cost of the Peace
Corps.
1t was not clear whether it
includes carrying forward un-
expended balances from last
year.
Time Lapse Noted
The big argument to be ad-
vanced by the House conferees
for their compromise is that
one quarter of the new fiscal
year, during which the program
has operated on a temporary
resolution, already has passed.
Although the dupont TAX re-
lief bill is still pending in the
Senate. Sen. Mansfield said the
prospects of reaching vote are
dim. The Democratic Policy
Committee has authorized the
majority leader to put this off
until January Is.
The bill is an outgroWth of
court orders in an antitrust
suit. requiring DUPONT to dis
pose of its 63 million shares of
General Motors stock. The pur-
pose of the measure is to ease
the tax burden on dupont
shareholders and to protect
General Motors stockholders
from having the value of their
investment diminished.
Final Decree Pending
A group led by Senator Gore,
Democrat of Tennessee, is op-
posing action now on the
ground that the Federal court
in Chicago has not yet issued
the final decree setting forth
the terms under which dupont
must get rid of the stock.
Senator Gore and Senator
Douglas, Democrat of Illinois,
had planned to leave Sunday
on overseas trips for Senate
committees, but remained here
to continue their fight against
the dupont bill.
Senator Humphrey of Min
nesota, Democratic whip, said
yesterday that when Congress
returns on January 10, Presi-
dent Kennedy will press for
action on Federal aid to all
public schools and for medical
care for the aged under Social
Security. He appeared on a
television show with Senator
Kefauver, taped for use in
Tennessee.

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Sept. 25.-President Kennedy
told the United Nations today
the United States and its allies
will defend their vital interests
and deep commitments to the

matter what the cost. But it
is absurd" he said, to charge
that the West threatens war
merely to prevent a treaty
between Russia and East
