Cab Reports

Montgomery County Police
have been asked to investigate
a report that taxis were COM
mandeered ''by some official
group" to remove persons from
q potential trouble area at Glen
Echo Amusement Park Easter

ser yesterday asked County
Manager Mason A. Butcher to

members commended County
members commended county
amusement park crowd.
Mr.. Hiser said yesterday that
while a three-page police report
on the Easter Monday situa-
ton appeared to be complete.
"the information persists that
a number Of cabs were used to
move people from the area"
Cabs were not mentioned in
the police report, although po-
lice noted that "as many as a
thousand persons" attempted
to board two or three buses
and presented difficult prob
lem for police officers"
This operation continued to
be q problem for the evening
hours" the police report said.
Mr.. Hiser commented:
1T should be ascertained, on
a factual basis, whether or not
cabs were used for this purpose
and If so, who authorized their
use and how they were paid
for their services"
Twelve county policemen and
two dogs were assigned to
Glen Echo on a tip from Met
ropolitan police that there
might be trouble at the park.
County police. along with
seven park patrolmen and their
dogs, hired by the management,
made no arrests in the Easter
Monday crowd that numbered
about 1000 at all tirles and

Bullet-P Wood
Demonstrated By
Virginia 4-H'er

Ever hear of bullet-proof
wood? w. A. McElfresh. forest
er at VPI, cites a recent DEM
onStration given by Jean Thomas
a All member from Floyd coun-
ty, which showed way to hard
en- green pine until it is almost
mbreakable. yet lightweight.
Miss Thomas ran many tests
to find the properties Of ner
wood soaked in water glass and
baking soda" One of the tests
showed that the wood was al
most bulletproof. Two national
ly known companies also ran ex-
tenSive tests on the properties of
the wood. Housewives may be
surprised to learn that one of
the by-productS Of the demon
Stration turned out to be a high
gloss furniture polish.
McEfresh says someday wood
treated in such a manner may
have special uses. For instance.
it may be possible to have
beautiful pine floors that won't
dent or scratch under furniture
or the heels of women's shoes.

WASHINGTON, M a + c n 8 -
Defense Secretary Mcnamara
delayed disclosure of those
Russian reconnaissance bomb
er flights over four u S. car
riers is only part of this jolting
story.
What the at-times -circuitous
Pentagon boss didn't reveal is
even more significant than what
he finally did make known.
For security reasons most of
these chilling untold facts can
not be divulged as yet. They are
still tightly classified-a although.
of course, no secret to the Rus
slams; only to Americans.
But it is possible to publish
the following extremely impor-
tant information that Mcnamara
withheld:
In each of these olninous car
rier overflights the Soviet recon
Nuisance bombe1s flew direct
to their nnd-ocean targets by
the h or t e S circular routes
from bases in Russia. The giant
Red planes known in the West
as Bears did not search for the
carriers. They set course 5
straight for them and flew over
them.
Such extraordinary "bulseye"
flying as it IS being termed BY
members of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff. is possible only in two
ways, as follows:
*Possession by Russia of a
secret space satellite or other
high level reconnaissance sys-
tenn that enables the detection
and tracking of ships.
4Advance Soviet knowledge of
the exact location and courses
OF the four carriers - the En-
terpriSe. Forrestal. Kitty Hawk.
and Princeton.
Military authorities are con
vinced the former is the case.
These highly revealing Incl
dents confirm for them a grow
ing belief they have had for
some time that the Russians
have in orbit one or more re-
connalSsance satellites with the
same capabilities as our very Sc
cret Sanos and Ferret.
These U. S. satellites take
photographs and monitor com
muncations. The Air Force has
at least six Samoses in orbit
from $50 to 300 miles above the
earth. These satellites snap pic
lures of Russian areas and in
stallatlons and transmit them to
ground receiving stations. The
Ferret, in addition to being
equipped with a camera similar
to those in the Samos, has
complex electromc system for
monitoring communications.
Both the Samos and Ferret
can take photos at heights Of
several h u n dr e miles from
which individuals on the ground
can be identified.

ton and tracking system are the

The Allen-Sc0tt Report
Vital Story in What Mcnamara Didn't Tell:
Planes Knew Carriers Locations Before Leaving Russia
BY Robert S. Allen and Paul Scott

which Secretary Mcnamara was
Enthusiastically vague:
The Navy reported that the
Bear reconnaissance bomber
that flew over the 75,OOO-ton For
restal southeast of the Azores on
February % was tracked some
2,100 miles from base in
northeastern Russia. From the
very start the Soviet plane made
a Decline for the carrier and
flew directly to it by the short
est circular route.
Throughout. the ding
Bear was under surveillance
either by radar, radio or plane.
Two Ferret satellites were tuned
in on the Russians. What was
learned is classified.
For two brief periods radar
lost its clock on the Soviet
plane. This was due to the Reds
using a new type Of metal chaff
that temporarily bloted our ra-
dar contact. But surveillance
was maintained through other
methods, and interceptors of the
ForreStal We're in the air long
before the Bear hove into sight.
However, intelligence experts
point out that is not as impor-
tant as 1t may appear to be.
They cite the fact that the
Bear has the capability Of being
armed with a known Soviet air
to-gromd missile that can be
launched some $50 miles from a
carrier definitely out Of the
range Of U. S. carrier based in
terceptors.
One Navy report on the Incl
dents also not mentioned by
Mcnamara -- stated that a Bear
that overflow a carrier was
equipped with racks that could
have carried nuclear bombs of
more than 20 megatonS. Photos
were taken of this Communist
plane showing the bomb racks.
An intelligence report stressed
the point that, in direct con-
trast to these "bullseye' over
flights, it took the Navy four
days to locate that hijacked
Venezuelan freighter.
Senator Barry Goldwater, R.
Ariz.. had much to do with
forcing disclosure of these SIMS
ter overfhghts. He questioned
M N m a I a about the Kitty
Hawk incident during the lat
ter's closed door appearance be-
fore the Senate Armed Services
Committee. Obviously startled
a n d disconnected, Mcnamara
admitted the accuracy of Gold
waters information.
Later, after comforting with
the President, the defense chief
hurriedly summoned a pres S
conference and announced the
oVerflights.
