1862 Called
Turning Point
By Kennedy
BY the Associated Press

President Kennedy sees 1862
as the year the momentum of
Soviet offensives, after its
space successes, was halted.
Future historians, looking
back at 1862, may we'll mark
this year as the time when the
tide Of international politics
began at last to flow strongly
toward the world of diversity
and freedom" he said.
The President made his
assessment in a foreward to
the 1862 volume Of Public
Papers of the President Of the
United States"
Just published by the Ma
tional Archives and Records
Service Of the General Services
Administration, the l,020-page
book is the 18th in the public
papers series covering the
period beginning with the Tru-
man administration in 1945.
After the launching Of Sput-
mix in 1857, Mr.. Kennedy said,
the Soviet Union began to in
tensify its pressures against
the, nom Communist world. The
Soviet successes in space were
taken as evidence, he said, that
communism held a key to the
scientific and chronological fu-
ture.
People in many countries
began to accept the notion that
communism was mankind's in
evitable destiny" he said.
1852 stopped this process
and nothing was more impor-
tart in debating the notion o.
Communist invincibility thar

provocations in Cuba" b..

The FBI was at a loss to

dispose Of the car practically
on the doorstep of the couple

Actually, the holdup gang
employed two cars stolen in
Washington to do the bank Job.
The first car, also a white

found parked on the Anacostia
parkway near Sousa Bridge by
Washington police less than an
hour after the holdup.
1t bore only one license plate,
RH-805. It was soon estab-
lished that the first car had
been left on the parkway long
before the holdup took place,
and the search continued for
the second car. The other RH-
805 license plate had been
transferred to the second car
for use in the holdup, investi-
gators deduced.

Impeachment Failed
Two attempts to impeach
him in the Congress have
failed, mainly because the OPP
position could not agree on
whom to put in his place. Mr..
Arosemena's vice president was
Reinaldo Varea Donoso, who
was tainted with scandal by
his connection with speculation
in United States surplus mill
tary equipment.
Since Mr.. Arosemena was
brought to power II months
ago on the wings of military
and civilian revolt against his
predecessor, Jose Maria Velasco
Ibarra, the military and mod
crate civilian politicians have
become increasingly disturbed
by mis- indecision against the
extreme left. His fits of drunk
enness have led to a mounting
cry that Communists have in
filtrated the government with
out his being able to control

dental cabinet, resigned. He

Panel 10 Quiz
Rail Principals
BY the Associated Press

President Kennedy'S special
finding committee met for
an hour today and agreed to
consult Monday with the par
ties involved in the railroad
labor dispute.
Secretary Of Labor Writ,
chairman, told newsmen he
expects all six members of the
panel to be present for the
first time.
Mr.. Wirtz said representa-
tives of the carriers and the
unions involved in the four
year long dispute will be cues
toned on their exact position
on various issues.
The Secretary has said pre-
viously that many people are
not aware of the many facets
of the dispute. thinking merely
that it is just a question of
dismissing some firemen whose
jobs are regarded by the car
riers as unnecessary.
The rail and union repre-
Sentatives can be expected to
fill in that void, Secretary
Writ said.
Staff Named
The committee, holdings its
first meeting yesterday and
continuing today. ironed out
its operational procedures and
lined up a staff of about a
half-dozen specialists from the
Labor and Commerce Depart
mentS to aid In assembling the
facts Of the dispute for Mr..
Kennedy.
Mr.. Writ said that only the
staff will continue work
through the week end.
In addition to meetings with
the two sides in the dispute
on Monday and again on
Tuesday, Mr.. Wirtz said, the
six-member panel will hold
afternoon meetings of its own
those two days.
There was no sign that any
opportunity for actual media
ton in the dispute by indi-
vidual members Of the board
had opened up. It was agreed
in yesterdays initial meeting
that there is nothing to bar
such activity If the opportu-
nifty arises, even though the

chore is fact-finding.
No Plans
Stuart Saunders, president
of the Norfolk & Western
Railway, told newsmen he had
no plans at this time to serve
