estate Alert by Police
Averts Medical Mixup

A 15-State police alert today
prevented a father from giving
his i'll son some possibly dam
gerous medicine.
Raymond Shear, the 35-year-
old father of Belmont, N. Y,
was driving through Baltimore
this morning when he heard a
radio broadcast warning him
not to treat his son, but to get
in touch with police imme-
diately.
The search for Mr.. Shear be-
gan after the doctor called
Washington police shortly be-
fore 8 a m. and asked for help in
locating the father, believed en-
route to Florida or returning to
his home in Belmont.
He told Washington police
the father had called him ear
lier today asking for instruc-
tions because his son had be-
come i'll. The doctor said he
prescribed a certain medica-
ton. but changed his mind
after the telephone conversa-
ton because Of the age Of the
child.
He wanted to talk further
with Mr.. Shear about the
child's illness. but couldn't con-
tact him because Mr.. Shear
had said he was leaving the
motel Immediately. The physi-
clan didn't know the name Of
the motel or its location except
that 1t was about 20 miles from
Washington.

Court Defendant HurIs
Pitcher at Prosecutor

A powerfully built defendant
at a District Court robbery
trial today flung a water pitcher
at the prosecutor. who was
struck in the shoulder as he
sat at a nearby counsel table.
The incident occurred as the
prosecutor, Special Assistant
United States Attorney H. Ken
meth Schroeder, jr., 26, was
leaning over in his seat ex-
amining trial notes. A court
room marshal wrestled the de-
fendant to the floor, and he
was taken to a cell.
"All / know is he let fly with
the water pitcher and it broke
on my shoulder" Mr.. Schroeder
said. II think he is trying to
convince the jury he is crazy"
Lawyers said an insanity is

Demolition Expert
An Army demolition expert,
1t. Leland D. Eisenhower (no
relation Of the former Presi-
dent) from Fort McNair, who
had been called an hour earlier,
pulled the suitcase from be-
meath the car and opened it
carefully on the grass about 80
feet away.
There was nothing but Ari-
zona newspapers and a flash
light inside.
Traffic flowed again on
Pennsylvania avenue, and the

at one point, indicating a wire
running out of the suitcase
and into the car. Would any
thing happen?"
That's something I know
and you DON'T" replied Wise.
Police considered flushing
Wise out from under the car
with high-pressure fire hoses,
but finally decided tear gas
would be more effective.
At 1:55 pm, four members
of the Civil Disturbance Unit
took up positions around the
car. in steel helmets and gas
masks.
From a window in the Justice
building, Sergt. Willie Harps
lobbed the first of eight tear
gas grenades under the car.
Wise stuck it out briefly, but
then came crawling out, sob

tion to his aides for review.
Mr.. Brown, in Washington to
discuss his States problems,
said Mr.. Morgan had come to
see him before releasing his

While U. N. aid is not sup
posed to have political strings,
an American spokesman said,
nevertheless IAN obligation
clearly exists to take account
of political circumstances when
such circumstances will affect
the economic soundneSs of a
project"
The exodus of qualified Gu
ban technicians; the slaughter
of livestock: the "plundering''
of other resources; and the
general disorganization of Gu
ban agriculture through the ap-
plication of Communist agricul-
tural doctrines" all contribute
to making the project insult
able, he contended.
The Cuban project, involving
less than half of per cent of
Special Fund aid money, is the
only one of 289 projects to
which the United States OBJ
jects. All others go to coun-
tries aided by the United States
or Britain.
THE massive influx Of Com
munist technicians under BIZ
lateral programs" the Ameri-
can spokesman said, raised the
question whether the supply OF
technicians is the real problem
in Cuba, especially given the
fact that these (Soviet) tech
nicians are dedicated to the re-
organization of Cuban agricul-
ture along Communist lines
No u. s. Dollars
Mr.. Hoffman said, appar-
emily in reply, that Cuban, not
Soviet counterpart personnel
would have to be ready to work
with the U. N. before the prof.
ect could go ahead.
He said Cuba's financial con-
tribution. nearly So million
would have to be "in the bank
in advance. No American dol
lars will be used, he empha-
sized.
The use of currencies other
than dollars is essentially a
bookkeeping device" he ac-
knowledged but one regarded
as important in Washington
No personnel or equipment will
be obtained from the United
States, and thus no dollars will
be needed.
Il believe with Gen. George
c. Marshall" Mr.. Hoffman
said," that aid-like Marshall
Plan aid for Europe-is not
against any country or doctrine
but against hunger, poverty
desperation and chaos"

diversity Cuban agriculture.
Mr.. Hoffman argued to a
packed news conference here;
/. That he did not "see how
(the add could possibly affect
the political situation in Cuba
that is, that it could not help
solidify Fidel Castro in power.
The scale of the project is too
small and its impact will be
too delayed, he claimed.
2. That "of course" the pro-
gram would be Cancelled If an
other major crisis blew up like
the missile base controversy of
last October November, or if
for any other reason the project
could not be carried forward
successfully"
3. That he had great con-
fidence in the Judgment of the
United States Congress" and
did not believe there would be
reprisals against U. N. aid
funds.
Mr., Hoffman denied that
American objections. Cuban
pressure, or 80 much as a
raised eyebrow" from Secretary
General u Thant had influ-
enced his decision to give Cuba
the green light.
Delay Protested by ROa
Cuban Foreign Minister Raul
Roa had blasted Mr.. Hoffman
Sunday for procrastination and
appealed to Mr.. Thant to in
tervene. The timing of this
demand gave some observers
the impression that either Mr..
Hoffman had buckled or Mr..
Thant had ordered him to bow.
In fact, Mr.. Hoffman told
his news conference the Roa
letter arrived after a decision
was all but complete, and pro-
duced the opposite effect from
the one intended. 1t prompted
Mr.. Hoffman to consider can
ceiling the go-ahead.
Mr.. Thant confirmed this Sc
quence in a letter to Cuban
Delegate Raul Primelles. He
quoted from a hitherto private
cable Mr.. Hoffman had sent to
B. r. Sen. Indian director-gen-
eral of the U. N. Food and
Agriculture Organization. The
cable indicated Mr.. Hoffman
was ready to 60 as early as
January 80.

Kennedy Asks
MoreLand for
Recreation

President Kennedy urged
Congress today to approve a
"pay-as-you-go" program for
the Federal Government and
the States to buy more lands
for outdoor recreation use.
He submitted proposed legis-
lation similar to a bill which
died in Congress last year, but
putting new emphasis on State
action.
The measure would establish
a Land and Water Conserva-
ton Fund, financed largely by
user fees" to pay for acquisi-
ton of outdoor recreation facil-
tiles.
Grants to States
About go per cent Of the
money would be used for grants
to States, with the other 40
per cent to be used directly by
the Federal Government for
adding to the national park
and national forest systems.
A memorandum from Interior
Secretary Udall. sent to Con-
gress along with the proposed
bill by the President, said the
most significant change in the
measure from the one proposed
last year is the provision for
grants to States.
Mr.. Udall explained that au-
thority was being asked for so
per cent matching grants to
the States for planning, and 30
per cent grants for acquisition
and development, of needed
outdoor recreation resources.
Surplus Land Sales
The land fund would be fl
nanced by proceeds from:
l. Entrance, admission and
other recreation user fees or
charges at Federal land and
water areas, with authority
given the President to estab-
| lish such fees.
2. The sale of surplus real
estate owned by the Federal
Government.
3. The 4 cents a gallon tax
on gasoline and special motor
fuels used in motor boats.
To get the program started,
advance appropriations aver
aging $50 million a year for
eight years would be authorized
beginning with the third year.
But the bill calls for repayment
of these advances from so per
cent of the revenues available
to the fund after the eighth
year.

drew fire from Senator Thomas
j. Dodd, Democrat Of Con-
necticut, and from the Citizens
Anti Communist Committee Of
Connecticut.
But the protest generally was
mild, and came chiefly from
within the university.
Senator Dodd. in a statement
from Washington, said Mr..
Halls appearance violates all
the purposes of the university.
For a leading Communist, he
is a declared enemy of our ira
ditions."
Under Indictment
Mr.. Hall is under indictment
for failure to register as a for
eign agent, as required by the
Carran Act,
Mr.. Hall told the students
that the concept Of violent
overthrow of Government 'is
an infantile viewpoint and not
Marxist."
He said Communist policy
for the last 20 years has been
based on peaceful transition
TO socialism"
He said American Commu-
nists do not want to be Sc
cretive. He added that they
want to run party members for
office.
Students laughed when he
said 1--WE can't run for office"
then paused, and continued.
"as Communists"
Mr.. Hall spoke for 30 minutes
then held a one-hour question:
and-answer period.
At one point he drew a laugh
at Senator Dodd's expense. II
hope that the Senator can sleep
well (tonight) and that I am
not a clear and present dan
ger to the State of Connect
cut" he said.
Mr.. Hall spent most of his
talk denouncing the McCarran
Act, the Federal law which req
quires Communists to register
as agents Of a foreign power.

Man Held for Mental Tests
After Bomb Scare at FBI

A mentally disturbed Arizona
man, who threw Washington
into a turmoil yesterday by
threatening to blow up the
Justice Department, was being
held for psychiatric examina-
ton today in d. C. General
Hospital.
Nathan Wise, 80, drove his
car UP the steps Of the Justice
building in the 900 block Of
Pennsylvania avenue NV. q
few minutes after noon yester-
day, and held police at bay
for nearly two hours by threat
eIling to set off q bomb from
beneath the car.
After failing to talk the man
into surrendering, police finally
flushed him from under the
Car with tear gas.
The bomb" turned out to
be a small suitcase filled with
newspapers and a flashlight."
Area Blocked Off
But police, unwilling to
gamble with hundreds of lives,
blocked off the area, ordered
the first two floors of the
Justice Department evacuated,
and kept patrons from leaving
stores and restaurants across
the Avenue.
Wise told police he staged his
dramatic stunt to force an in
terview with FBI Director j.
Edgar Hoover, to whom he
wanted to present evidence that
would bring about the i'm
peachment of President Ken
nedy and his cabinet.
In Phoenix, his wife, said:
Hes sick. He needs help"
In fact, Wise is in the midst
Of a sanity hearing in Phoenix.
Superior Judge Laurens l.. Hen
derson said he had continued
the hearing until March / to
allow Wise to seek private psy-
chiatric help.
.Wise's immediate future was
not clear today. 1t has not
been decided whether he will be
held for hearing here or sent
back to Phoenix.
Drove Up Steps
The dramatic lunch hour
siege and capture began at
1915 pm, when Wise drove
his dirty white sedan across the
broad sidewalk on the south
side Of Pennsylvania avenue
and up the four broad steps of
the Justice buildings main en-
trance.
Police were called to what
appeared to be a traffic ac-
ciqent, and two officers walked
UP to question Wise, who was
sitting behind the wheel.
Wise threatened to blow him
self up If the officers tried to
arrest him. He had the suit
case next to him, with an i'm
pressive array of wires leading
ont Of it. In the back seat
were three 5-gallon gasoline
cans.
The officers backed away.
CIutching Suitcase
sThen Wise scurried out of
the car and crawled under it,
clutching the suitcase. +
More police-30 all told-ar-
rived on the scene, sirens 81
lenced to keep from frightening
Wise into setting off his ap-
parent bomb.
while the precautionary evac-
uation measures were being
taken, various officers tried to
talk Wise out of his hiding
place. He chatted amiably
with them, but flatly refused to
come out.
;Sergt. Allison A. Meiklejohn,
asveteran officer experienced
at talking with disturbed per-
sons, spent an hour trying to
persuade Wise to give himself
up, but to no avail.
Sergt. Meiklejohn chatted
with Wise about world affairs
and his family in Arizona. He
offered Wise a cigarette-"I
don't smoke" said Wise-and
a cup of collective got heart
