Snow Brings
Record Cost
For Roads

RICHMOND, Mar. 81 (AP)
This winters bill for clearing
snow and ice from Virginia
roads apparently will set a rec
ord, the State Highway De-
partment said yesterday.
Not only that. but a late
winter thaw Is causing consid-
cradle road damage some of
it severe and necessitating full
scale restoration.
s. v. Munsey, department
maintenance engineer, said the
winter posed more maintenance
headaches than any winter
since 1886. He has been in road
maintenance for 43 years.
The winter maintenance bill
hasn't been tabulated, but the
department said it is almost
sure to top the 1961-62 one of
more than $50 million.
Frequent winter storms, not
necessarily with heavy snow
fall, have kept the highway
field forces at work almost
continuously throughout the
season. In the l2-county
Salem highway district, crew
we're mustered for emergency
storm duty 26 times.
The highway department

surrender his gun.
A police register dating back
to the l930s shows that approx
imately 10000 hand guns have
been registered in the District
either voluntarily or through
recording Of sales.
Mr.. Gimble said that under
the bill the Commissioners
would have the right to draw
up regulations TO exempt law
enforcement officers, bank
guards and others from pro-
visions of the measure.
The bill would not require a
person 10 have a license TO
possess a rifle or a shotgun.
However. an existing police
regulation requires that any
one who wants TO buy this type
OF weapon must make out an
application which is sent to
police.
Reads Police Comment
The bill would apply in the
District a provision in the Fed
eral Firearms Act which bans
sale Of weapons TO any one
who does not have a permit 10
purchase In jurisdictions which
require such licenses.
Mr.. Gimble read 10 the Com

licensing law in that State.
I'VE feel that this law is very
desirable as II does keep guns

initial help for technical studies

get regional projects started.
Position on Cuba
He also succeeded in proving
10 worried Central American
leaders that he is no dove"
about Communist Cuba, al
though Mr.. Kennedy steadfastly
refused to approve any Of the
"hawklike" measures several of
them originally sponsored.
Evidently he achieved this
delicate equilibrium by q de-
tailed expose Of the United
States commitment to the max

INTERPRETIVE REPORT

eceived in this particular
country.
Costa Rica has a long tradi-
ton of progressive democracy
and pro-Americanism.
Personal Magnetism
On the other hand these same
observers believe that Mr.. Ken
nedy displayed a quality of
personal magnetism here which
is making him modern idol Of
Latin America-over and above
the respect his high office
would naturally inspire.
Even staid diplomats are en-
Enthusiastically coupling his name
with Franklin D. Roosevelt,
perhaps the most loved North
American President in inter-
American history. "Mr. Ken
nedy gives off the vibrations
of a leader" said one local
public opinion expert. above
all else he has machismo.
Machismo is a peculiarly
Latin expression which has no
ready translation into English.
1t is dynamisrn, masculinity,
kindness, and firmness all
wrapped into one word.
Like What Was Said
HE is not only young and
Catholic" explained one young
doctor, HE also said what we
want to hear" The doctor was
referring to Mr.. Kennedy's
constant theme Of social
justice and economic progress
within democratic institutions
which he played at every turn
here.
Sophisticated observers are
quite aware Of the political i'm
pact Mr.. Kennedy's personal
triumph will have. It has
dramatized the Alliance for
Progress and shown that United
States prestige in Latin Amer
lea is not so low as critics
might claim.
Perhaps no other country in
the hemisphere has gone so far
as Costa Rica in putting into
effect the educational, social
and economic aims Of the al
lance.
Tributes to Alliance
Alliance slogans and posters
dress the walls and windows of
this city. A special Alliance
stamp has been issued. Even
the Alliance rhumba has been
composed. Unlike so many
other places in Latin America,
the Alliance seems to have
actually penetrated the daily
life of this country.
That does not mean the pro-
gram has had any more spec
tacular success here than else
where in lifting these Central
American countries out Of their
misery. Throughout his trip
Mr.. Kennedy constantly ad-
mitted dissatisfaction with the
rate of progress, but he has
raised popular expectations
that those defects can be
Overcome.

SAN JOSE, Costa Rica, Mar.
21.-This tiny capital lies
quietly exhausted today after
a three-day party which has
pushed President Kennedy's
prestige to unprecedented
heights in this part Of the
world.
HE accomplished everything
we wanted here" said Gonzalo
Facio, Costa Rican Ambassador
to the United States, Of Mr..
Kennedy's meeting with the six
Presidents of Central America
and Panama.
II must see him, I must see
him." squealed q university
coed as she joined the throng
which broke through police
lines to engulf Mr.. Kennedy at
the university campus just be-
fore his departure for WASH
ington yesterday.
Political Success Seen
Both reactions reflect two
sides Of the Kennedy mission
here. One is the so-called
working" side, the other the
ceremonial" side.
Together they add up to a
singular political success with
deep implications for the stat
ure Of the United States in all
Latin America.
The working side is fairly
well defined and few surprises
developed. In a day of talks
with the six other Presidents,
Mr.. Kennedy gave full support
to the drive for the economic
indignation of the Central
American isthmus.

Threatened Colonel

certain information immedi-
ately. He would call Deputy
Secretary Gilpatric at home
and advise him that the Air
Force would not comply with
the legitimate demands Of the
committee" the report said OF
Mr.. Nunnally.
The report said that there
were several other unprovoked
emotional rantings by Mr.,
Nunnally during the interroga-
ton"
On another occasion, accord
ing to the report. Mr.. Nunnally
interviewed Earl Crawford
an Air Force Tx expert, so
harshly that the following
morning Mr.. Crawford COL

medical care for a minimum
period Of two weeks"
When asked about the Air
Force charges, Mr.. Alderman
replied, MY only answer To
this is that the charges are
ridiculous. 1t appears that they
are trying TO divert us from the
investigation, but I will not be
deferred from my duty"

figures on the plane design.
The questioning was by Mr..
Alderman, Thomas Nunnally
and Robert E. Dunno of the
subcommittee staff.
Techniques Listed
Mr.. Nunnally was the first
interrogator," the report said.
He used the strongest kind Of
oral investigative techniques,
the kind commonly associated
with criminal interrogation.
Some Of these entrapment
techniques were:

native. Proper procedure for q
Government agency, faced with
a lack Of new money at the
start Of q fiscal year, Is to OPP
crate on a Continuing" basis.
That is, 1t goes ahead spending
money at the average level Of
the preceding fiscal year.
Last year, NASA's average
level was $500 million a month.
The level proposed in Presi-
dent Kennedy's fiscal "a budg-
ct Is about $475 million q
month. To continue spending
at the $500 million level would
cripple NASA's program, and
Congress knows this.
The agency has an addition
al problem that initiates its
spending right at this time.
Many Of its big contracts come
up for refinancing just after
the start Of a new fiscal year.
in mid-July and early August.
These have to be kept going
to avoid costly. time-consum-
ing stops and restarts in the
manned space flight program.
Right now, NASA Is SPEND
ing between $500 and 5000
million a month to keep these
big jobs going.
Were doing what we have
to do in July and August" the
executive said.
Delay Beyond March Risky
This spending rate will taper
off by fall, but by this time
may well have spent a
full third of its fiscal "a
money. There will be another,
lesser, peak in January, after
which the agency may find Its
purse pretty well emptied. De-
lay beyond March in obtaining
more money would wreak havoc
with space plans.
The story NASA is prepared
to tell the Senate Space Com
mittee in closed session next
week is approximately this:
"If you can't give us the
whole $5,712.000, 900 President
Kennedy asked for. give us as
much as you can. and give US
broad leeway in spending it.
Don't expect the Kennedy space
program for less money, how
ever. And don't give us part Of
It now and the promise Of q
supplemental later - because
we may have to come up for
more money next year in any
event."
