Is Slated , KennedySoys

Several hundred American
troops will be brought back
from South Wet Nam before
the end of the year, President
Kennedy told reporters today.
He indicated the possibility
that the number leaving by De-
cember 81 would be fewer than
the 1000 originally expected to
be Withdrawn after Defense
Secretary Mcnamara and Gen.
Maxwell D. Taylor, chairman
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
surveyed the South Wet Nam
csc war against C m m u n S t
guerrillas in October.
Reports that Gen. Paul Har-
kins, commander of the United
States military mission in
South Wet Nam. has lost his
usefulness because he lost
touch with the new generals
running the country are Who'll
ly untrue" the President said.
To Keep HarkinS

GEN. Harkins," Mr.. Kennedy
declared. There may be some
who would like to see Gen.
Harkins go, but I plan to keep
him there"
The exact number of Ameri-
can soldiers to be withdrawn
from South Wet Nam will be
decided at the meeting of Amer
lean officials from Saigon
and Washington scheduled for
November % in Honolulu, the
President told his news confer

3-Yeor TrioI Suggested
For Medical Program

Mr.. Celebrezze and Surgeon
General Luther Terry, who also
appeared, seemed surprised by
Mr.. Harris suggestion.
His idea is that if the medi-
cal-dental school program is
coming along well at the end
of the three years it could be
extended by Congress.
Mr.. Celebrezze finally said
he would not have any objec-
ton to cutting back the 10-year
construction program" but re-
peated that limiting the stu
dent loan program to three
years would not be satisfactory
Boost Is Required
DR.. Terry, in a prepared
statement, noted that Presi-
dent Kennedy in his state-of-
the Union message said even
the minimal goal Of maintain
ing the present ratio of doctors
and dentists to the population
would require a so per cent
boost in medical school capac-
ity and a 100 per cent increase
in dental school capacity over
the next 10 years.
The administration plans for
spending some $700 million in
matching grants for construc-
ton of new medical schools or
expanding old ones. There is
also provision for additional
planning grants.
A $72.3 program is provided
for student loans. some of
which would be forgiven" If
the student goes into certain
categories of service such as the
Public Health Service.
Evening star., 1963-02-06
BY the Associated Press

The administration has re-
vived its 1913 million, 10-year
program of expanding the Ma
tion's medical and dental
schools. and has run into a
suggestion that the program
cut back to a three-year trial
program.
The suggestion came yester-
day from Chairman Harris,
Democrat of Arkansas, of the
House Commerce Committee,
and therefore carried consider
able weight.
Welfare Secretary Celebrezze,
reinstituting a bill that got lost
In the closing shuttle of the
last Congress, told Mr.. Harris
the three-year idea might work
on the construction grant part
of the program but on the stu
dent loan provisions II don't
see how 1t could possibly work. "
The student loans would total
$72.3 million over a basic five
year period under the bill in
troduced this year. which is
almost identical with the bill
approved by the Commerce
Committee last year.
Involved Medical Students
Mr.. Celebreeze said four
year terms for medical students
are involved, and cutting these
off after three years would
make it unavoidable. He added
that it would take a year or
two to get the program set UP
anyway.
II am fearful 1t would be
just too short a period to do
the job we have in mind" he
said

HIS FAVORITE CANDIDATE
BarryHas Busy Week, KennedyNotes

err, when asked to run through
the list of Republican candi-
dates, always mentions at least
four - Goldwater, Rockefeller,
Romney, Scranton. and just in
the last week Nixon. But Presi-
dent Kennedy likes to concen-
trate on Goldwater. Unlike
Gen. Eisenhower, he does not
find Senator Goldwater's views
''unclear."
Naturally, Republicans find
the Kennedy relish of Gold
water candidacy a bit discon-
certing. 1t raises the unsettling
thought that the master politi-
clan in the White House thinks
Senator Goldwater would be the
easiest to beat and therefore
plugs his nomination at every
opportunity.
The G.. o. P. suspicion is well

commanders overseas be per-
mitted to use nuclear weapons,
and attacking the president of
Bolivia while he was here in
the United States, and involv-

The Presidents interest in
and concern for the Goldwater
candidacy is so close and de-
tailed that he has even been
reported to have advised his
potential rival to hold off until
the last possible moment to
announce his availability. The
President, according to some
inside stories. told the Senator
that if he had it to do over
again-which he undoubtedly
will-he would wait a little
longer.

Pistol Seen Linking Woman
To Alexandra Staying Case

Alexandria police today re-
vealed that a mystery wom-
an" bought a .22-caliber pis-
toll two weeks before the fatal
shooting of 35-year-old Robert
Powers, using a photostat of
the birth certificate of the best
friend of the victims wife to
make the purchase.
The gun became a key ele-
ment in the shooting of the
Radio Corporation of America
craftsman after three men,
beachcombing on the Potomac
River flats between Duke and
Prince street, found the weapon
where the lowest tide since
1881 had exposed it.
The pistol, of the same cali
Der as the one that killed the
father of five on the night of
october %, has been traced to
the N. F. Strobe Gun Works, at
5404 Marlboro Pike, Coral
Hills, Md, according to Alex
andria Police Chief Russell
Halves.
Chief Halves, at a press con-
ference today, disclosed that
the gun was sold on October 8
to a woman who falsely identi-
fled herself as Miss Ann l..
McKilleget, %, of Sill Bashford
lane, Alexandria.
Miss McKilleget was de-
scribed by Chief Halves as
probably the closest friend
Mrs. Rosemary Powers has. "
He said the two women have
keys to each others residences
and Miss McKilleget has been
a frequent visitor to the

in Saigon and has declared a

If the revolutionary coup
committee is led by so power

here that President Ngo Dinh

Another top figure in the
revolt is reported to be Gen.

of the joint general staff,
equivalent to the post in the
United States held by Gen.

of the Joint Chiefs Of Staff.

believed here to command

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. l
(AP).-The bodies sprawled
grotesquely all over the ice,
the crumpled colors of the
victims opening night garb
starkly contrasted against
the white rink.
Crimson pools pock-marked
the ice. where the explosions
grim debris lay in still finality
amid the surrounding pande-
monium.
Moments before, SO skaters
had glided across the ice to
the Dixieland jazz of the
Mardi Gras finale to the
Holiday on Ice show. The
Halloween night opening had
brought many Of Indianapo-
lis fashionable to the State
Fairgrounds Coliseum.
Then they were dead. So
many.
An explosion, apparently
from a gas leak, catapulted
spectators into the air, some
with their chairs. Huge slabs
of concrete rose straight UP
under the seats and smashed
down on the bleacher occu-
pants.
The explosion came within
only three minutes of the end
of the show. The show had
started IS minutes late.
A Mortified spectator told
of people flying through the
air like cannonballs" as the
blast reverberated on the con-
crete tiers of the arena.
A fireman who arrived
amid the immediate con-
sternation told of people
grabbing at me and cussing
because I couldn't help them
right away"
A dazed young man,
streaks of blood caked on his
face, wandered among res
cuers. A policeman offered
him transportation to a hos
pital. but he refused: 81 have
a little girl in there. I want
to wait even though I don't
think there's any hope"
He told of sitting in the
center of the fatal section
and feeling the blast lift him
into the air.
Rescue trucks, wreckers and
a giant construction crane
were pulled onto the ice to
search for bodies still under
the debris. The crane tower
doomed against the blue and
white satin backdrop of the
stage trappings.
Indianapolis Mayor Albert
Losche, who was in the audi
ence, said in horror, This
