Military Ponders
Easing Of Curbs
On Dependents
BY the Associated Press

The White House says the
Defense Department is con-
sidering various plans to ease
restrictions on the travel of
dependents to join servicemen
overseas.
Applying on President
Kennedy's response to ques-
tons about the plight of mil
itary dependents at his news
conference, Assistant Press
Secretary Andrew T. Hatcher
said alternative proposals
drawn up by each of the serv-
ices still would fall short of
lifting altogether the present
curb on transportation of de-
pendents.
Mr.. Hatcher said the order
by which Secretary of Defense
Mcnamara. with Mr.. Ken
nedy's approval, directed the
movement of 10000 troops to
Europe last September su-
spended transportation of de-
pendents.
The order applying to de-
pendents went into effect
October 9, Mr.. Hatcher said,
and since then the Govern
ment has not paid for the
transportation of any service
families to Is European coun-
trieS-from Great Britain to
Greece-in which United States
troops are stationed.
Mr.. Hatcher said he had no
statistics on Europe alone, but
estimated that SIS per cent of
United States servicemen In
foreign countries around the
world have dependents with
them.
Mr.. Kennedy had noted at
his news conference that most
of the servicemen now in
Europe have their families
with them"

pressureS on Russia to share

He pointed to the example
OF international cooperation in

valuable feature the Soviet
Union was presumably deprived
OF in the orbital flights of Yuri

President Sees Benefits
In Brothers World Trip

President Kennedy says he
thinks the round-the-world trip
of his brother, Attorney Gen.
eral Robert F. Kennedy, has
been worthwhile in helping to
communicate the true story of
America in areas where it Is
not we'll understood. :.
The President was asked at
his press conference yesterday
what he thought was behind
hostility from some student
groups encountered by the At
torney General in places like
Japan and Indonesia.
A Reason for the Trip
The President said one of
the reasons he was anxious for
his brother to make the trip
was because of this rather
curious factor" of resentment
OF the United States among
foreign student groups.
you would feel" he added,
that students who are intellec-
tually curious would be attract
ed by a free society which
gives that intellectual curiosity
a chance to develop rather
than a totalitarian society,""
He said he is sure the At
torney General, who has spo-
ken at colleges and universities
in nearly every country he has
visited, will have some views on
that matter when he returns
to Washington.
The President said he also
has been curious as to. why
many students abroad still
have a stereotyped, Marxist-
oriented view of the United
States almost so years old"

Boys, Is, Accused
Of Making Coins

TULSA. Okla, Feb. % (AP)
-Four 13-year-old boys we're
questioned yesterday in con-
nection with bogus half dollars
which police said had been
made in a junior high school
manual arts shop.
The investigation began when
a cafeteria cashier became
suspicious of a half dollar given
to her. 1t was normal in size and
shape but appeared scorched.
Police said one of the BOYS
told them he made the coins
in a mold fashioned by using
a real half dollar. Officers
said the coins were sold to other
boys for Is cents each. ONLY
a few coins were made, police
said.
The youths were turned over
to juvenile authorities.

President Expresses Regret
President Kennedy, who was
holding a press conference as
the House voted, expressed re-
greet at the outcome and pre-
dicted that sooner or later"
such a department will be
created.
Il believe it is vitality i'm
portant, said Mr.. Kennedy,
land regret that Congress did
not see fit to adopt it. I don't
think it is so much the admin
istration's loss as it is loss
for the cities and the country"
The President said the crea-
ton of an urban affairs depart
emnt is as necessary and in
evitable as were the Depart
ments of Agriculture and
Health, Education and Welfare.
Mr.. Kennedy said one trouble
was that many who are not
in urban areas were against
the plan. He added that if sec
tional votes of this kind were
carried to their ultimate extent
this country would come to a
grinding halt"
In announcing his urban af-
fairs plan several weeks ago,
the President said that if the
new department were set up he
would name Housing Admins
traitor Robert c.. Weaver to
head it which would have
placed the first Negro in a
Presidents cabinet.
Calls Weaver Qualified
At yesterdays press confer
ence the President was asked
about the future of Mr.. Weaver,
presumably because of SUCCESS
tons by Republicans that he
be appointed to some other cab
met post.
Mr.. Kennedy replied that Mr..
Weaver would have been ad-
mirably qualified for the new
position since he is head of the
largest division which would
have been included in the new
department.
Il see now that various peo-
pie who opposed the Urban De-
partment are now ready to
support him for any cabinet po-
Sition he wishes - Defense.
State. Treasury, everything else.
I consider him admirably quail
fled for this particular position
because of long experience, and
while I am sure he is grateful
for those good wishes for a
cabinet position where there is
no vacancy, I think he would
have been-this country would
have been-better served to have
voted for an urban department
and permitted him to continue
his services in that capacity
Mr.. Weaver will get along all
right, but I think the question
is the people in the cities"
