is startled at the success of a
new rat exterminator which he
recently purchases. He has been
bothered by the number of ro-
dents about his home and, an
Mous to get rid of them, bought

went into the cellar, where he
found fragments of a shattered
rat sticking to the walls and
floor above. Muldoon has con-
cluded the rat exterminator is
an explosive which blows apart
rodents which eat 1t.

tanned three wounds, one on the
forehead which was a mere
abrasion of the skin, another In

Roy COIN Is Indicted
On Perjury Charges

NEW YORK, Sept. 4 tAPD.-
Roy M. Cohn was indicted to-
day by a Federal grand jury
which accused him Of perjury
and conspiring to obstruct
justice.
Indicted with Mr.. Cohn, an
aide to the late Senator Joseph
Mccarthy and a former as
sistant United States attorney,
was Murray E. Gottesman, a
Manhattan attorney.
Both were accused of giving
false testimony before the
grand jury.
United States Attorney Robert
M. Morgenthau said the grand
Jury was investigating whether
there had been a conspiracy
to bride any public official and
obstruct justice in connection
with 1859 investigation of the
United Dye stock fraud.
The l0-count indictment was
handed up by a grand jury
which had been sitting since
March, 1862.
After stepping into the ma
tional limelight with the Nc
Carthy-Army Senate hearings,
Mr. Cohn began TO build a
business empire. In the course
of this, he was closely asso-
ciated with Paul Hughes, in
dicted as a co-conspirator in
the United Dye case. Mr..
Cohn loaned Hughes $4,000

Treaty Pushed
ByDemocrats
Pact Called Step
To Arms Control

Senate Democratic Leader
Mansfield Joined with the For
.eign Relations Committee to-
day in urging Senate ratifica-
ton of a partial nuclear test
ban treaty.
Although formal debate on
the treaty is not scheduled I'M
til Monday, Senator Mansfield
gave a strong defense of the
pact in a prepared Senate
speech.
He called it "a testament to
the universal vitality of rea-
son." and affirmation Of
human life" itself.
And he asserted, those who
put their faith in continued
testing suffer from "a most
dangerous and tragic obSes-
sion."
He said the only insurance
that further testing would
provide is that if "our civiliza-
ton is put to the nuclear torch
By any hand others will be
consumed in the same stupen-
dous blaze"

secretary of State George w.
Ball also will suggest that the
Kashmir territorial dispute be-
tween India and Pakistan be
put in cold storage, these
sources say.
One longtime confidant of
Gen. Ayub said the president
will attempt to convince Mr..
Ball that oveIkealous military
buildups by the two countries
could ruin their developing
economies.
President Ayub, according to
this source, does not seek fresh
offers of United States military
hardware which would mean
increased defense expenditures
in PakiStan's already lopsided
budget.
Gen. Ayub, according to this
source, remains genuinely anti
Communist and is afraid to
carry flirtations with Red China

GORILLA BEATS PARALYSIS
Zoo Favorite Walks Again
BY JERRY OLEARY, Jr.
Star Staff Writer


His legs are withered and
he has lost 100 pounds, but
Nikumba, the Washington Zoos
priceless gorilla, today is taking
the first steps he has been able
to manage since he was strick-
en- with paralysis last June.
1t was on the morning of
June 8 that keeper Bernard
Gallagher entered the area
shared by Nikumba and his
mate, Moko, and saw that the
325-pound gorilla had fallen.
His legs had suddenly lost
their strength, and he could
only roll around the cage like
a child.
The drama OF the fight for
the gorilla's health and life
began that moment. Associate
Zoo Director j. Lear Grimmer,
DR.. Clinton w. Gray, the vet
erinarian, and Mr.. Gallagher
put the l0-year-old animal to
sleep with a hypodermic shot
from the capture gun and ran
a spinal tap.
They feared they would find
a meningitis condition or the
trace of blood that would indi-
cate a brain tumor. But the
test was negative, and the
gorilla's malady was, as 1t is
today, a mystery.
Nikumba's appetite for his
usual daily 10 pounds Of fruit
and vegetables and three quarts
Of milk fell off. His legs shrank
TO the size of mans arm.
The Zoo rallied its resources.

Admiral George w. Ander-
son, former Chief of Naval OPP
erations, said today There are
some tendencies which give
me great concern" in the civil
ian management of the De-
Tense Department.
For the first time since De-
Tense Secretary Mcnamara de-
clined to recommend him for
a second term as Chief of Ma
val Operations, Admiral Ander-
son presented a detailed public
account of his views. The &C.
casion was a National Press

II am gravely concerned that
within the Department of De-
Tense there is not the degree
.of competence ana trust be-
tween the civilian and military
.echelollS that the Importance

This two-way responsibility

understanding from both sides

tive civilian authority. He
added:
Civilian officials and staff
assistants should recognize that
forceful expressions of contrary
views in proper channels for
frank response to congressional
inquiry do not represent a
challenge to the valid concept
of civilian control. There is no
such challenge.
Our civilian officials should
appreciate that the standard of
service integrity equals that of
religious communities and must
be kept that way. Mutual con-
fidence and trust are built the
hard way and can be broken
down quickly by one of two
impulsive actions or intemper-
ate judgments"
Decision Making Discussed
Admiral Anderson in his pre-
pared text made no reference
to reports that Mr.. Mcnamara,
among other things, was un-
happy over testimony given on
several subjects by Admiral
Anderson when he was Chief
Of Naval Operations.
He also discussed decision
making by civilian operations
analysts in the Pentagon, and
said:
II am disturbed because now,
in the Department of Defense,
the operations analyst-prop-
erly concerned with cost effec-
tiveneSs-seems to be working
at the wrong echelon, above
the professional military level
rather than in an advisory
capacity to the military who
should thoroughly appreciate
his assistance.
Specialists cannot, without
danger, extrapolate their judg-
ments into fields in which they
do not have expert knowledge.
Unfortunately, today in the
Pentagon an unhealthy i'm
balance has resulted because
at times specialists are used
as experts in areas outside
their fields.
This has resulted in a tend
ency to draw conclusions befort
all the evidence has been
examined"
