Craftsmanship Reaches
A Peak in Colorado

The Nations highways al
ways produce most of the zany
driving around holidays, par
ticularly around July A. and
the pleas for safer and saner
performances are out.
But you can bet right now
that there'll be more hair-rais-
ing driving in Colorado Thurs
day than in any other one
place in the country. That's the
day of the 41st annual Pixies
Peak Hill Climb, one of the
worlds toughest and most de-
manding competitions for man
and car.
BY a long stretch of the
word, even pleasure" driving
up the l4,000-foot peak is a
real cliff hanger experience. AS
a two-time survivor, here's my
promise never to do it again.
Most Of the road is gravel,
just the right texture for skids.
There are no guard rails and
some of the switchbacks re-
quire a very slow low.
There is craftsmanship! Like
a sheer drop of 1 500 feet.

Peru Returns Today

LIMA, Peru. July 81 (AP).-
After q year under military
control, Peru returns to civilian
rule tomorrow with the inau-
guration Of Fernando Belaun-
de Terry, a United States
educated architect, as President.
Promising to build homes for
the poor and give land to peas

Belaunde takes the leadership
from Gen. Nicholas Lopez Lind
| ley, one of the military men
who took over one year and 10
days ago ouSting President
Manuel Prado at the end of his
term.
A non-Communist leftist, Mr..
Belaunde is widely considered
to be pro-United States and
has said his government would
make no moves to re-establiSh
diplomatic relations with Cuba.
Peru was among the first of
the larger Latin American ma
tons to denounce Fidel Castro's
regime in Cuba.
Foreign Policy Unclear
But Mr.. Belaunde has never
spelled out fully what kind of
foreign policy his government
would follow. Instead, he con-
centrated on the domestic and
social problems Of Peru.

INTERPRETIVE REPORT-
Governors Cool to GoIdwater
BY DAVID S. BRODER
Star staff Writer

Last weeks Governors Con-
ference in Miami Beach showed
a surprising flabbiness In Sem
ator Barry Goldwater's support
among Republican governors.
It is not q critical weakness
lyet. for most of the @. o. p.
State executives are even more
skeptical Of New York Gov.
Rockefeller's credentials for the
presidential nomination than
they are Of Arizona Senator
Goldwater's.
But If the GOODNESS toward
1.-THE Arizona conservative per-
sists. 1t could represent quite q
problem for his undeclared
campaign.
There is apprehension al
ready among some Of the Sem
ator's hackers about the 1864
Governors Conference, to be
held in Cleveland. The tenta-
tive date for the meeting is
June Ia few days after the
big California presidential pri-
mary and only five weeks ahead
of the Republican National
Convention.
Eye POstpOnement
The Goldwater hackers would
like to see the conference put
off until after the July IS NOM
mating convention, This same
view is held by some high Off
cials Of the Republican Party.
The party officials would like
the poStponement for reasons
of harmony. A Governors Con-
ference on the eve Of the con-
vention would necessarily be q
battle-ground between hackers
Of rival candidates, they believe.
If the conference came after
the convention, on the other
hand, they think the @. o. p.
governors could be united for
maneuvers designed to help
the Republican nominee and
hurt President Kennedy.
The Goldwater hackers have
a special reason for disliking
the June Z meeting date. The
California primary will be held
on June 2. 1t is rated the State
where it would be toughest for
Senator Goldwater to beat Gov.
Rockefeller.
Should the New Yorker win

/ Since his election last month,
Mr.. Belaunde has been working
on social and economic pro-
grams for the nations nearly
II million people, most Of them
descendants Of the. ancient In
cas-.
He has promised to improve
the living standards Of the COM
mon man through development
of housing, education and
health programs. He wants ag-
rarian reform measures and re-
Mobilization for the Indians,
who live mostly on the noun
tainsides.
One top priority project Is
building highways to the In
terror of the country to tap the
nations rich natural resources
Working to his advantage is
that Peru's economy, based on
fish meal, cotton, minerals and
sugar exports, is considered one
of the soundest in Latin Amer
lea.
Reds May Be Problem
To his disadvantage may be
| the Communists. They had
thrown unsolicited support his
way in the election. Some in
Lima fear they will try to dom
mate Mr.. Belaunde and infil-
trate his government.
But Mr.. Belaunde Is likely to
try to keep the Communists at
bay. This could mean the
Communists might switch to
the opposition camps of Victor
Haya de Ia Tore and former
dictator Manuel Odria in an at
tempt to sabotage his admin
istration.
Mr.. Belaunde named q H.
man cabinet Friday night. 1t is
headed by Oscar Trelles as
Prime Minister and Interior
Minister. Fernando Schwalb
is the new Foreign Minister.
Mr.. Belaunde, 81, attended
the University of Miami and
the University Of Texas. He is
one of Peru's leading architects.
He is separated from his wife.
His daughter and two sons, all
teen ayers, live with him.

According to close friends of
former President Truman there
is increased concern about his
health.
They have received word that
the MiSsourian. who will be 20
in May, has not recovered as
quickly and FULLY as expected
from his recent operation. At the
time, the surgery was reported
to be for relieving a hernia con
dition.
Because of his aihng and at
the insistence of his physician,
Truman is turning down all
speaking invitations. He has
cancelled one scheduled for
Washington.
Also the former president is
staying at the nome of his sister
near Independence. This is for
the purpose of affording him
greater privacy and quiet. Mrs.
Truman is with him.
Friends also consider it distur-
bingly significant that unlike III
the past, Truman did not come
to New York for the birth of his
latest grandson.

which prevailed for covered

Also figuring in the plan will
be a proposal for giving a bet
