SUMMARY

FILIBUSTER RESTING
} UNEMPLOYMENT LOW
} ALUMINIUM STRIKE

THE FILIBUSTER against the
administrator communications
satellite bill in the Senate was
ended temporarily Wednesday.
The filibuster was being led by
Sens. Wayne Morse (D-Oreg)
and Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn.)
who say the plan to put COM
nHunications satellites under con-
troll of a privately owned puD-
lcly supervised corporation is
a "giveaway. The Democratic
and Republican leadership
agreed to a Today referral of the
bill to committee so the Senate
could proceed with other bust
ness, and they finally procured
the necessary unanimous vote.
SEN. HARRY BYRD D-Va)
says he will carry his fight
against a key provision of the
President S tax reform bill to the
floor of the Senate. This pro-
vision would grant tax credits to
businessmen who nAOderniZe
their plants. but it has not ar
reused much support from bust
nessmen themselves who say
there are better ways of en-
couraging modernization. Byrd
said the bill may not be brought
up for debate in the Senate be-
fore that body considers the
trade expansion act. on which
the Senate Finance Committee
which he heads is now holding
hearings.
UNEMPLOYMENT fell to its
lowest point in two years last
month. Secretary of Labor Gold
berg announced Wednesday. The
ranks of the jobless decreased
by half a million during July
The report will presumably tend
to disuade President Kennedy
from asking for a general in
come tax cut this year.

Springfield Has
10th Anniversary
By JOSEPH B. BYRNES
Real Estate Editor

Springfield a few years
back was a whistle stop on
the Southern Railroad. To-
day, 10 years later 1t is a
busting community.
Now the mud patch that
the press and real estate
personalities walked over is
a reality. 1t is the home of
approximately 10000 per-
sons.
Extension of Shirley high
way in 1852 made Spring
field.
The development in Vir-
GINA started with nine
homes, built by Bernard
Steinberg and Carl Hengen.
They built over $500 homes
in the area on land assem-
bled by Edward R. Carr.
Since Mr.. Carr has built a
golf course and has highly
publicized the area.

 The disclosures which President Kennedy made to the nation Mon- day night wrecked the theory that the Soviets were supplying arms to Castro only for his own pro- lection. They showed that Cuba was being converted into Soviet military base with a destructive potential unequaled by any known base on the Communist side of the world conflict except installations in the Soviet Union itself.

Soviet Missile Installations In Cuba Caug Int US. Experts By Surprise

WASHINGTON R The Soviet Unions installation of nuclear mis- siles in Cuba caught US. experts by surprise and demolished, al most overnight, their carefully constructed estimate of Soviet strategy in the Western Hemis- phere.
 Until evidence of the introduc- ton of atomic striking power be- came available to President Ken nedy eight days ago, the belief of officials here had been that the Soviet Union intended to use Cuba only as a base for a politi- cal and guerrilla offensive against Latin America.
 That strategy did not require nuclear weapons in the Caribbean island. It required only that Prime Minister Castro be armed de fensively against any new limited

Defense Dept. Releases Photographs of Soviet Missile Sites In Cuba

WASHINGTON tR - The De- fense Department released today IA aerial photographs of what if said were Soviet missile sites, bomber fields and patrol boats in Cuba.
 The photographs were made public hours after some of the pic lures had been released in London
 Some had been displayed by Secretary of Defense Robert Me Namara when he briefed newsmen on the Cuban crisis Monday night after President Kennedy an- nounced an arms quarantine of Cuba.
 There are three pictures of mer- chant ships which the Defense De partment said were Soviet ships bound for Cuba carrying light jet bombers in crates visible on the decks.
 One high-altitude shot the Pen tagon describes as of a major air field and notes in an enlarged DOT ton jet bomber almost assembled and 18 crates containing more of the IL-28 bombers.
 In another, seven Soviet PIT boats are pointed out moored near an airfield. The Pentagon said the boats are armed with guided mis- sile launchers.
 Among others were air photos of what the Pentagon described as an intermediate and medium range missile base, surface-to-air missile sites, missile assembly depot and MIG 21 jet fighters at a Cuban airfield.

 Falling back on several fronts, the Indians said they were taking q heavy toll among the Chinese but gave no figures. The Indians were believed also suffering big losses.
 A government spokesman said at least 13 outsposts in Ladakh were feared lost No word has been received from the Indian garrison ia the GaIWan Valley of Ladakh region since the Chinese launched their offensive last Sat urday, and F other places are known to have fallen.
 In the face of these reverses, the 1 Nehru government rejected the Chinese proposal for cease-fire under which each side would pull back troops 20 kilometers =a25 miles from their present battle positions.
 Advancing 40 to 60 kilometers (25 to 3712 miles by blatant mili tary aggression, and offering t withdraw 20 kilometers provided both sides do this, is a deceptive device which can fool nobody, an Indian Foreign Ministry spokes- man said.

 elf Mr. Khrushchev wants to demonstrate that Russian protesta- tions for peace are genuine, he has an opportunity to demonstrate it in other ways immediately Ku- chel said0
 Before the Cuban crisis arose President Kennedy said he would welcome talks with Khrushchev if the Soviet leader went 10 the United States for sessions of the United Nations General Assembly.
 Diplomatic sources in Washing ton suggested the initiative for possible summit talks had come mostly from Moscow.
 There were reports in London today that Prime Minister Mac Milan was considering flight to Washington to confer with Ken nedy.
 Khrushchev coupled his appar- ent call for summit conference with repeated calls for the United States to back off from it's naval blockade of arms shipments to Cuba.
 He warned that the situation could get out of control and war might break out, adding:
 We fully realize that if war should break out that it would be nuclear war from the very first hours. This is very clear to us. But evidently it is not clear to the gov ernment of the United States o1 America.
