SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, Mar.
9 (AP) The Federal Aviation
Agency pressed an investigation
yesterday into the case of a
private cargo plane forced
down in the Dominican Repub-
lie by a Dominican Air Force
fighter.
The Gas, en- route from
Haiti to Puerto Rico with a
load of beef, was forced down
at Santo Domingo yesterday
and later released.
Richard A. Flood. FAA area
co-ordinator here, said he felt
the incident could have been
avoided. He added he was not
sure whether the three-man
Gas crew could be relieved of
responsibility for not having
filed proper flight plans. .
Mr.. Flood said his report
was urgently requested by
Washington. He said it con-
tained material to the effect
that Dominican officials never
got a flight plan forN the craft.
A Dominican spokesman said
that was the reason for fore
ing down the Gas, and Mr..
Flood said he felt the Domin-
leans were within their rights.

Gen. Aung Cyl said the

will hold to its traditional
neutrality in the cold war and
said it will continue to accept
aid from both the Communists

Mr.. Kennedy told the Ad-
vertising Council it performs
"a real national service" with
its $l00 million annual adver-
tising campaign for public
causes. He added:
II hope that this year you
will devote yourself especially

gram"
Mr.. Kennedy said the swift
development of Europe, helped
by some $13.5 billion of Ameri-
can aid since the Marshall
Plan, is. creating a stable and
valuable base across the At
lantic from which we can
expand the cause Of freedom
around the world"
He noted that Soviet Premier
Khrushchev has devoted long
speeches to his agricultural
problems. The United States
has agricultural problems too,
Mr.. Kennedy went on, adding:
But L certainly would not
exchange problems with him.
Our problem is overproduction,
his is under production"
The President said he be-
lieves many Americans do not
fully realize how great a bur-
den the United States is bear
ing in order to maintain the
stability and prosperity of other

whether the function Of Con-
gress is solely a negative one in
Withholding authority on funds
and preventing something from
being done but not able to ex-
ercise a positive authority and

Agree on Resources
Agreeing with Secretary Nc
Namara that the Nations re-
sources must not be wasted,
Chairman Vinson nevertheless
insisted:
Il do not join him in his
belief that the BIO should
be pursued at the low level
that it is today. We have
stopped building bombers and
unless we take this action it
won't be many years before we
will be out Of the bomber busi-
ness entirely. This is not safe.
This is not right. And I guaran-
tee you that our example is
not being followed by the
Soviet Union. They are de-
veloping newer and faster
bombers all the time"
The overall $13,065, ,772, 900
bill approved by the committee
today contained aircraft au-
thorizations of approximately
$3.6 billion for the Air Force.
$2.1 billion for the Navy and
Marine Corps and $273 million
for the Army; missile authori-
cations Of $2.5 billion for the
Air Force, $3.50 million for the
Navy, $22 million for the Ma
rine Corps and $3.50 million for
the Army; and $2.9 billion for
Naval vessels.
Wants Three Wings
The Air Force, according to
a Defense Department spokes-
man, wants three wings of B.
70s, $50 to $50 aircraft, for
use in the late 1960s and early
1970s. The first wing would be
ready by 1867 or 1868. The
whole program, according to
Mcnamara, would cost about
$40 billion.
The plane would carry out
a mission hitherto divided be-
tween two types of aircraft:
BomberS and reconnaissance
planes. For this reason, the
BIO" strictly a high-speed
high-altitude bomber has been
all but rejected by the Defense
Department while the "RS-70"
dual purpose plane is getting
further consideration.
The two planes would differ
largely in the special recon-
naissance and attack equip
ment on the RS model.
The RS-70 would not bomb
pre-planned targets. This, in
the coming missile age, would
be done by rockets based in
the United States or Europe.
The RS-70 would fly low over
enemy territory after ICBMs
had struck, looking for missed
targets and for missile launch
ers not previously pinpointed.
High defense officials be-
lieve that this sort of mission
will be necessary in a future
war, but they are not sure that

BY MIRIAM GUTENBERG
Star Staff Writer


The administration wants to
give the American people and
the world an image of Amer
lea unafraid of communism at
home and firmly meeting its
challenge abroad.
That was the impression left
yesterday by three Cabinet Of
ficers briefing the 18th WASH
ington Conference of The Ad-
vertising Council on national
problems.
Since the council represents
the major advertising media of
the country and Government
advertising campaigns in the
public interest last year we're
valued at more than $100 mil
lion, the direction taken by the
administration spokesmen was
considered particularly signi-
ficant.
Warn of False Alarms
In different ways, Secretary
of State Rusk, Attorney Gen.
eral Robert F. Kennedy and
Welfare Secretary Ribicoff con-
veyed this picture:
Well-meaning but confused
citizens like many members of
the John Birch Society create
false alarms and false notions
about the Communist threat
within this country.
The reason Communists are
effective abroad is because
they have a built-in organiza-
ton in many countries which
the United States does not have
but must combat with truth.
The Communist effective
ness, however, has not led the
new nations to go behind the
Iron Curtain and, in this hem
isphere, the "early bloom of
the Castro regime" has worn
off.
Instead of worrying about a
Communist threat at home
which doesn't exist, this coun-
try and its travellers abroad
should sell the realities of
America - that power is not
concentrated in the hands of
a few Capitalists" and that
America does more for its
people than any other country
in the world.
Kennedy Found Affection
Attorney General Kennedy
said he found a great affection
for the United States abroad

about their mission with the
exception of certain specifica-
tions about the aircraft.
No Suicide Order
The CIA report also stressed
that pilots were not expected
to commit suicide, and that
carrying the poisoned needle
for use to escape torture by an
enemy was purely optional with
the flyer.
When Senator Russell ex-
pressed surprise that the Rus
slams treated the American re-
connaissance flyer as we'll as
they did, Mr.. Powers agreed
that he, too, was surprised and
had expected much worse than
he got.
After the hearing, a COM
mittee member told reporters
he understood that another
prisoner who was put in the
cell with Mr.. Powers told the
American it was lucky for him
he had been captured during
the Khrushchev regime in
stead of when Stain was alive.
II reckon you got off easier
than a Russian spy landing in
this country under similar
circumstances" observed Sena-
tor Russell, adding that it
might depend on where the
Russian landed. The Senator
said he felt sure that. a Rus
sian flyer landing in Georgia
would have been dealt with
more harshly.
Explosion Near Plane
Mr.. Powers detailed account
of the day Of his Inflated flight
differed only in minor detail
from the story as released early
yesterday in the CIA report.
HighlightS of his testimony
we're:
He feels sure there was an
explosion outside and to the
rear of his plane just before it
went out of control and started
to plunge toward the earNS. But
he could only speculate, as
others have done, on whecEr
it was a Russian missib or
rocket exploding near the plane
Shortly after he parachuted
into an open field and was
being placed in an automobile
by several Russians, who had
taken away his pistol and knife
Mr.. Powers said he saw a Sec
ond parachute descending in
the same area.
The flyer said he knew there
had been no other parachute
in his plane except the one he
was wearing. He told Senator
Russell the second parachute
was too high when he saw it to
tell whether it was fastened
onto a man.
One thought that entered his
mind was that if the explosion
near his plane had been from
a rocket, this parachute may
have been bringing down the
first stage of the rocket.
Senator Russell wondered il
it was possible the Russians had
shot down one of their own
planes in trying to hit the Pow
erS' plane.
Tore Up His Map
| Mr.. Powers said that as he
descended in his parachute he
remembered he was carrying 9
map. which he tore into bits
and scattered to the wind.
Senator Russell asked him i.
he had been quoted correctly al
saying in Russia that he was
sorry for what he had done anC
would not do it again.
Mr.. Powers said he wa.
quoted correctly, but that ht
meant that his main sorrow
was that his mission had failed
He said naturally he could mo-
say there what was really il
his mind.
