Kennedy Gets Mobbed
 By High School Students

WASHINGTON lR - President Kennedy was mobbed Thursday = in his own back yard - by more than 2,500 high school students from 56 countries who converged on him in hopes of a handshake or autograph.
 Kennedy took a severe buffeting, as the youngsters pushed and showed to get to his side after clanbering over and around rope barriers.
 Secret Service agents an d White House police had to use el- bows and shoulders in a not-too- gentle struggle to keep the crowd from knocking the President down and possibly causing new injury 10 his weak back.
 One White House policeman, It. Edward Teehan, collapsed while trying to control the mob and was carried into the cabinet room by two officers.
 The mob scene erupted on the south lawn of the White House after Kennedy addressed the cheering, singing students, who soon will return to their home lands after spending a year in American schools under an Amer ican field service exchange pro- gram.

CAMP PENDLETON, Calf. lR

CAMP PENDLETON, Calf. P = Two Marine parachutists, their chutes tangled in a jump mishap, tugged, scrambled and grabbed during 2,000-foot fall = and landed safely.
 Gunnery Sgt. Wm Bierd said it happened this way:
 Cpls. Wilbur Kirchoff and John Cox, both P, made a routine train ing jump Tuesday night with the Fleet Marine Force Pacific's 1st Forest Reconnaissance Go.
 Cox dove through Kirchoff's s shroud lines and his own chute un- furled behind him but didn't open.
 q thought I was falling too fast but when I looked up, I saw a parachute canopy. The only trouble was, it wasn't mine" said Cox.
 Both chutes tn tangled and collapsed.
 Kirchoff's opened, closed, and then popped open again at 700 feet. Meanwhile, Cox jerked open his reserve chute but it snaked out of the pack without ballooning.
 Kirchoff, still tangled with Cox, grabbed Cox's main chute and wrapped it tightly about his own reserve parachute.
 We were still going fast, but I realized it wasn't enough to do any more than break my legs, , Cox said.

NEW YORK R - An uneXpect- ed telephone call from President Kennedy involved Dr. Milton s. Eisenhower in lone of the most amazing and muddled incidents in the history of inter-American af- fairs" the former Presidents brother says.
 Dr. EisenhoWer's book, "The Wine Is Bitter: The United States and Latin America" published by Doubleday, relates sequel to the Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba. He calls the episode the most ex- asperating six weeks of my life ,
 The story concerns the attempt to liberate Cuban invasion prison CTS in return for $3-milliOn worth of tractors, Eventually, a year and a half later, the cost was 20 times that much in medical supplies. Dr. Eisenhower intimates the episode nearly brought disaster on US. prestige Fortunately" he writes, the terrible mistakes made in the Cuban invasion and the clumsy fumbling displayed in the tractors for prisoners deal have not characterized other efforts of the Kennedy administration in the Latin American area.
