u. 5. Considers
Tariff Rise
BY GARRETT ID. HORNER
Star staff Writer

Guar Quail WAAteE
The United States took the
first step today toward raising
tariffs on such things as wine
and brandy in retaliation for a
European Common Market
move to freeze out American
poultry.
Christian A. Herter, former
Secretary Of State now serving
as President Kennedy's special
representative for trade nego-
tiations, announced that public
hearings will begin on Septem-
Der 4 to help decide which
items will be assessed higher
tariffs.
Mr.. Herter spoke Of the i'm
pending measures as designed
to restore a balance Of con-
cessions in trade between the
United States and the six Com
mon Market countries.
He noted that American
poultry exports to the Euro
Ipean Economic Community
have been severely curtailed for
more than a year by a system
of variable tariff increases.
On poultry exports to West
Germany, repeated increases
have raised the duty from 40
cents per pound to lS.43 cents
tper pound.
He emphasized that the
United States has patiently
but unsucceSsfully sought to
negotiate notifications of the
poultry levies.
He listed 10 items being con-
sidered for possible withdrawal
Of tariff concessions. He said
the items were selected care
fully to insure that any in
crease in duties finally decided
upon would have minimum eff
fects upon trade between the
United States and countries
outside the European Economic
Community.
Besides wine and brandy, the
list includes trucks and buses,
Photographic papers and film,
gelatin, cigarette papers, flower
bulbs, scissors, RoQuefort
cheese and electric shavers.

They set up three traps Tor
Communist patrols that have
been striking into United Ma
tons territory and on occa-
sions launching strong attacks
on United States units.
The exact number Of Ameri-
can troops involved was CLASH
fled, but the force is known to
have been much larger than
the small patrols that nor
mally guard the United States
sector Of the 151-mile truce line
established after the Korean
War.
1t is obvious that the United
States command is determined
to stop all North Korean move
ment-by large Red forces or
small units-into what the 1853
armistice agreement termed
U. N. territory.
Planning on Highest Level
Planning was done on highest
level. 1t. Gen. Harvey H. Fis-
cher, commander Of Corps,
flew to the front and talked
to the local commanders a few
hours before the operation be-
gan.
Orders were given that the
American force hold its fire
until Communist troops moved
in close.
1--WE were to use grenades and
bring back the meat" one SER
geant said.
Armored personnel carriers

yards of the demilitarized zone

fight developed.

half a dozen major narcotics
rings to prison in recent years
on conspiracy charges.
In these rings are men who
have worked together for years,
They may have become bitter
enemies some time between ar
rest and conviction. They may
suspect each other Of becom-
ing informers.
Run Out Of Prisons
Since Federal prison officials
don't know the current hates
among the new arrivals in jail,
and are anxious to keep them
apart, anyhow, to avoid prison
cliques, the usual arrangement
is to spread members Of the
ring among various Federal
prisons.
The difficulty arises when
the gang is large and the num-
Der Of Federal prisons with
maximum custody Of long
termers is small.
1--WE run out Of prisons" an
official put It simply.
Those convicted of narcotics
violations in the major con-
spiracies are all longtermers-
usually sentenced to is or 20
years.
The particular problems are
the big shots Of crime like Vito
Genovese, now tagged as the
kingpin Of a Nationwide syn
dictate. Men like him usually
attract a group Of followers
within prison walls-as well as
an assortment of convicts who
deeply resent them.
When the big shots arrive,
a Federal prison official said,
they exert a lot of influence
over their fellow prisoners at
first. Later, however. the level

formless frocks wear it only
to a girls social. AS for
Miss Streisand's couture, it
was parted in the middle
and combed straight down

mode prescribed for the role

sing. She's pulling down
close to $4,000 q week for

VANCOUVER, B.C., R An ar mored car driver, described as deeply interested in his work, |" was missing today along with a quarter of a million dollars.
 Police charged Douglas John Brown, 35, Surrey, B. C., with ''theft of over $50" last night sev- eral hours after the Loomis Ar mored Car Service reported the disappearance of a half million dollars and one of it's drivers.

Astronauts Plug For More Mercury Missions

NEW YORK LR - Alan Shep- ard Jr., and the nations other six astronauts, will take their plea for a 10th mission in the Mercury space program to President Ken nedy, the American Broadcasting Co.,, said Tuesday.
 ABC's science editor, Jules Berg man, reporting astronaut Gordon Cooper's reception in Washington, said an internal revolution among the astronauts erupted when a National Aeronautics and Space Administration official said last Sunday there would be no more Mercury missions.

Two SWedes Head Back
 Over Pole in Light Plane

ANCHORAGE R Two Swed- ish tliers who made the first flight over the North Pole in a single engine plane last weekend, left Anchorage early today on the re- turn trip.
 This time the flight in the Piper Commanche will be over the tip of Greenland, enroute to home base in Stockholm.
 Aboard the plane were Sigurd Hallstrom, 45, a Stockholm real estate broker and a partner in a shipyard, and his pilot-navigator, Olof Ringstand 21.
 They left Anchorage Interna- tional Airport at 3:42 a.m., with Fairbanks as the first scheduled stop to replace fuel used on the one-and-one-half hour hop.
 From Fairbanks, the pair ex- pected to fly directly to Bodoe. Norway, crossing the tip of Green land.
 Hallstrom and Ringstrand said they would stop at Nord for fuel if necessary, but apparently hoped to make Fairbanks the last stop before Bodoe if possible.
 The flight from Norway to An chorage took about 30 hours of flying time, with stop at Barter Island on the Arctic coast for fuel before the final hop to Anchorage.

Millions of
 New Workers Cheer Astronaut Cooper

NEW YORK R Millions of New Workers cheered astronaut Gordon Cooper today along Broad way in a tumultuous ticker tape parade-the city's salute to nation al heroes.
 A maelstrom of tape, confetti, and torn paper sWirled from sky scrapers in the city's tribute to the smiling Air Force major who last week orbited the earth P times.
 The crowd along lower Broad way alone was estimated unoffi- cially at two million - with miles more of the city still to be travelled enroute to civic luncheon at the WaldorfAstoria Hotel.
 The cheering sometimes seemed to verge on the point of hysteria.
 Crowds jammed the sidewalks of the Canyon of Heroes" and work CTS leaned from office windows, shouting their acclaim.
 Dozens of persons broke through the police lines, shouting, Hello, Coop" Wonderful job, Coop" and GO, Go, Gordon.''
 "This is wonderful, exciting" he was heard to remark. "This is great stuff"
 The accolade began when the spaceman's airplane landed at La Guardia Airport from Washington The astronaut was accompanied by his family and Vice President l Lyndon Johnson.
 l The 36-year-old major from Shawnee, Okla, told his welcom- CTS at the airport:
 'Small-toWn boys know you are
 indeed a success when you're in
 vited to a parade in New York City. It is a great honor and I thank you all very much" Cooper came here fresh from the cheers of thousands of persons in Washington, the praise of Pres ident Kennedy and thunderous ap- plause from a joint session of Congress.

 US. and British officials re- ported that Secretary of State Dean Rusk and Foreign Secretary Lord Home announced the commitment at the first closed session of the North Atlantic NATO) Council.
 At the same time, Canada's For eign Minister Paul Martin told his NATO colleagues that his country's air division in Europe, compris- ing IA fighter -bombers, also will be assigned to Gen. Lyman Lem nitzer, supreme allied commander in Europe.
 Earlier, the ministers heard Canada's Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson appeal for an equal part nership between North America and Europe in the direction and guidance of the alliance.
 Pearson addressed the opening session of a three-day NATO min isterial session which seeks to patch up differences over the fu- ture role of nuclear weapons in it's defense plans.
 The nuclear force was the main business before the foreign and de- fense ministers of NATO at their annual three-day spring meeting.
