The Justice Department
moved today to intervene in
the Pan American Trans World
Airlines merger case pending
before the Civil Aeronautics
Board.
A department spokesm a n
said the step. taken in a petit
ton asking the CAB to allow
Government participation in
the case, did not indicate that
the department has any posi-.
ton on the merits of the pro.
posed merger.
The department has entered
its opposition to another majol
airline merger, the American.
Eastern Airlines unification.
Pan American and TwA are
the only American air carriers
carrying passengers on trans
Atlantic runs. They and Sea-
board World Airlines, Inc, are
the only American cargo car
riers on those routes.
In another motion filed at
the same time with the CAB,
the department asked the board
to consolidate the Pan Am
TWA merger case with the
transatlantic route renewal
case. The latter involves CAB
review Of passenger and cargo
routes assigned to American
air carriers.
The department said the two
cases involve "inextracably re-
lated" factors.

u. S. Reported Set to Fight
De Gau|Ie's European Plan

! Mr.. Ball, who spoke at a
dinner in New York where Mr.
Monnet was honored, described
the present as "a time OF
crisis" and clearly implied how
the Washington Government
feels about Gen de Gaulle's
policies.
Mr.. Ball said that Mr.. Mon
net has recognized that history
is not static and that events
must be directed toward meet
ing the needs "of an evolving
new age"
He has, therefore, never
been tempted into the unhappy
error-induced by a nostalgia
longing for a world that never
was-of seeking to recapture
the past" Mr.. Ball said.
The United States for more
than a decade has supported
the efforts Of Mr.. Monnet and
other European leaders, in
cluding Mr.. Adenauer, TO forge
economic strength and politi-
cal cooperation in Western
Europe to degree which the
Continent had never known in
the past.
More recently the United
States has thrown its strength
and prestige behind the drive to
get Britain into the European
Common Market along with the
countries on the Continent.
and to form a nuclear striking
force under the North Atlantic
Alliance as a means of dis
couraging the development Of
national nuclear forces.
Within the past two weeks
Gen. de Gaulle has under
taken to block British member
ship in the Common Market
completely, though he said that
Britain might enter the organi-
zation some years from now.
In his speech at the dinner.
Mr.. Monnet said admission of
Britain to the Common Market
was essential for preservation
Of world peace and freedom.

Eisenhower
Says He Had
No Air Plan

NEW YORK, Jan. "a (AP).-
Former President Eisenhower
says no plan was drawn up dur
ing his administration for q
United States air cover for q
refugee invasion of Cuba.
Asked about the decision not
to Use United States air power
In the disastrous Bay Of Pigs
invasion in 1861 after he was
out Of office. Gen. Eisenhower
said Of his own administration
There was no way. We didn't
even know at that time
whether these refugees would
be sufficiently numerous and
strong to do more than go into
the eastern part of the
island, in the mountains, and
start a counter revo-
luton -.
I'VE more or less were think
ing of guerrilla type of action
until we could get enough
forces to do more than that.
We did hope to get there to find
a man that was acceptable
to the Cuban people that
was our general feeling, but
there was no specific strategic
or tactical plan developed be-
fore I had left. -"
Gen. Eisenhower said, how
ever, that he had mo kick with
the plan" for air cover for the
invaders.
IF that had been DONE" he
added, that might have made
the difference, because once
these forces we're ashore, ready
to take care of thmselves, it
might have been easy to get
more reinforcements through
from the island itself and, fl
nally, to recognize a govern
ment there"
The United States decision
not to supply air cover has
been blamed widely for the
failure Of the Bay of Pigs in
vasion.
Gen. Eisenhower's comments
last night were in a television
interview on the CHS Reports
program. The long inter-
view was taped last Monday at
Palm Desert. Calf, where Gen.
Eisenhower is vacationing.

People in Britain and on the

OF the obsolete and static idea
that Britain, being an island,
is bound to be insular, that
she does not belong to I'D
rope and that her commercial
policies and interests will keep
her forever apart from -ti1e
natural trend towards Euro
pean unity"
Gen. de Gaulle also has re-
Jected the plan devised by~Nlr.
Kennedy and British Prime
Minister Macmillan last moth
for a NATO nuclear force =
Gen. de Gaulle has chosen
instead to go forward with the
development Of a French Nu-
clear force, a course which Mr..
Kennedy and his advisers, fear
would some day lead to sde-
mands in Germany for a iGer-
man nuclear power. -
Officials said the United
States has no objection what
ever to the treaty for military,
commercial, political and ctlI-
tural cooperation which Mr..
Adenauer and Gen. de Gaulle
have signed provided that 1t be-
comes a force for unifying Eu-
rope within a broad Atlantic
framework instead of a force
for dividing the Western ALI

They are encouraged by the
fact that other countries in. the

his plan to unity Western
Europe under French leader.
ship without close British ano
American ties.
The main thrust Of United
States diplomacy within the
NATO alliance in coming
months, informants said, will
be directed toward trying to
prevent the new De Gaulle
agreement with West German
Chancellor Adenauer from be-
coming the basis for a Euro
pean system dominated by
France.
President Kennedy faces the
delicate problem at his news
conference late today of making
clear the United States position
on the Allied situation without
hardening the split in the alli-
ance If he can avoid it.
At the same time it is under
stood that he wants to leave no
doubt in the minds Of Euro
pean leaders opposed to Gen,
de Gaulle's aims that they have
full United States support In
trying to create a different kind
Of Europe.
While the State Department
declined comment yesterday on
the Adenauer-De Gaulle treaty
for French German co-opera-
ton which had just been con-
cluded in Paris, Mr.. Kennedy
and Undersecretary of State
George w. Ball welcomed the
opportunity to pay tribute last
night to another French leader,
Jean Monnet. He has worked
for many years for European
unity set within a partnership
with the United States.
Mr.. Kennedy in a letter
praised Mr.. Monnet as a man
who was in fact unifying Eu-
rope through the force of a
constructive idea.

Laos Leftists
Demand u. 5.
Withdraw Aid

VIENTIANE, Laos, Jan. "a
(AP).-The left wing of Laos
shaky coalition government de-
manded today that the United
States Aid Mission get out of
Laos at once because it is
committing flagrant violations
of the 1862 Geneva agreement. ="
The pro-Communist Pathet
Lao also demanded the with
drawal Of Air America, a char
ter company hired by the
United States aid group.
The leftists charged that Air
Americas planes "are illegally
flying over territory controlled
by neutralist and Pathet Lao
forces, dropping arms, ammu-
milton, food and men originat-
ing from the United States Aid
Mission and other American
organizations"
The Pathet Lao also called
on the International Control
CommiSsion-made up of India,
Canada and Poland-to "in-
vite both these organizations
to get out of Laos and to super
wise the withdrawal which
should be effected as quickly
as possible"
Charges Called False
IF the United States refuses
to do So" the leftists said, "it
must be responsible for any
consequences"
A United States Embassy
spokesman termed the Pathet
Lao charges "baseless, ridicu-
lous and entirely false"
Information Minister Phoumi
Vongvichit. spokesman for the
Pathet Lao, made the demands
in a letter to Foreign Minister
QUINN PholSena. Mr.. Phol-
sena heads the National Com
mittee for Application Of the
Geneva agreements, which
ended the civil war in Laos and
set up Premier Prince Sou
wanna Phouma's coalition gov
vernment of Neutralists, right
lists and leftists.
The Pathet Lao letter
claimed that both the United
States Aid Mission and Air
America operated in the past
as para-military organizations
and are continuing to fulfill the
same mission in Laos as they
did before"
Two Americans Killed
Air America has been drop
ping supplies furnished by the
United States to isolated Meo
tribesmen who fought the
Pathet Lao during the civil war
Two such mercy flights have
been shot down, and two Amer
leans were killed in one of the
crashes.
After repeated complaints by
the Pathet Lao, Premier Sou
wanna Phouma announced last
month that the United States
had agreed in principle to turn
over planes to his government
to airlift the supplies.
Western observers regard the
leftist charges as the opening
of a propaganda barrage
against American aid opera
tions here In an attempt to
discredit the United States role
in neutralist Laos.

MINNEAPOLIS lF - Attorney Eugene Thompson was accused in a Minneapolis court today of ar ranging the staying of his wife so he could collect more than $1- million in insurance on her and marry another woman.
 Prosecutor William Randall said in his opening statement at Thomp- sons first degree murder trial that we will show the man married to Carol Thompson advised an- other woman back in early 1862, Just give me eleven months to ar range affairs so he could marry her.

To The Editor:

Sometime ago a boy of years old was shot in the eye with a BIB gun. Very luckily Wiens have a Cessna 180 stationed out here at Gambell Pilot Thor Tjontveit of Wiens Airlines took the injured boy over to North East Cape in very unfavorable weather. Then from there another Wiens plane took him to Nome for treatment From Nome, he was transferred to Anchorage Hospital by Dick Gal leher of Munz Northern Airlines
 These people gave all the help they can give to save the boys eye, whom they don't even know. This shows how much Wiens and Munz think of the people whom they serve for long time, and yet all they get is criticism.
 I don't think this is the first time this kind of mercy flight is made. l am pretty sure this was done in the past. I can say freely they have served the villages they serve.
 l, as member of the village coun- cil, give my Thank You to Wiens Airlines and Munz Northern for the job well done. I especially give my thanks to the pilots of these planes. l am pretty sure that the of this boy thank you, too. Keep up the good work.
