security. in a period Of rapid
change. will depend on con-
slant reappraisal Of accepted
doctrine. on alertness TO new
Developments, on imagination
and resourcefulness and new
ideas"
ScOffs al staIemate
Mr.. Kennedy combined his
soothing at the notion Of an
effective nuclear stalemate with
ridicule Of the idea that "the
future Of the Air Force is
mortgaged to an obsolete weap-
ons systematic manned air.
craft"
After saying that mutual nu-
clear deterrents cannot be
shrugged off as a mere stale
mate" he added, with evident
sarcasm:
'Stalemate' Is q static term
and no one Of you would be
here today II you believed you
were entering an outmoded
service requiring only custodial
duties in a period Of 'nuclear
.stalemate.'"
Mr.. Kennedy said an "onrush
Of technology" guarantees q
bigger and more challenging
role for the Air Force. the
youngest Of the three military
services.
The President also empha-
sized that academy graduates
must be more than military
commanders because military
policy and power cannot and
must not be separated from
political and diplomatic de-
cisions."
In last October's Cuba crisis,
he said, political and psyche
logical motives and implica-
tons were equal in Importance
to "the military motives and
implications Of that reckless
attempt to place offensive mis-
siles on the island Of Cuba"
Giving another example, Mr..
Kennedy said current discus
sions about sharing nuclear
responsibilities with European
allies and achieving a proper
balance between nuclear and
conventional forces, cannot
possibly be dealt with in mar
row military terms alone"
He said they require great
political wisdom and diplo-
matte skill as well as modern
military knowledge"
Mr.. Kennedy's appearance at
the Air Academy marked the
first of two commencement adj
dresses on his Western sched-
ule and preceded a tour Of
the neighboring headquarters
of the North American Air De-
tense Command.
Five-Satte Tour
Altogether, Mr.. Kennedy
planned stops in Colorado,
Texas, New Mexico, California
and Hawaii before returning to
Washington Monday.
He will visit two campuses
and five military bases, watch
Naval exercises in the Pacific
from the bridge Of an aircraft
carrier and take part in two
Democratic Party functions
both in Los Angeles.
There also was a chance he'd
drop IN at the senior prom Of
9 Burbank (Calif.) high school
to make amends for a bac
scare given the seniors when
Los Angeles Democrats nearly
bumped them from a hote
ballroom to make way for one
of Mr.. Kennedy's political APP
pearances.

strongly-worded statement at

of recommended rule changes

Congress.
Under a 1884 statute, the
high court is authorized to
prescribe rules Of procedure
which take effect 80 days after
being forwarded to the Con-
gress if the legislative branch
takes no contrary action on
them in that period.
The recommendations sent to
Congress yesterday contain pro-
posed changes for Federal rules
of procedure for civil cases.
Observers said they could not
recall that Congress has ever
thrown out Supreme Court re-
concentrations for the rule
changes.

said the judicial conference, to
whom they would turn over

Richard Downing Is
 Guest of Ice Bloc Meet

The famous Ice Bloc which meets regularly in Juneau had Richard Downing, Commissioner of Pub- lie Works, as a guest at it's last meeting.
 MT. Downing gave the members present a rundown on the airport at Kotzebue showing why the air port should be leeward instead of seaward as earlier recommended. The estimated cost is about $1.4 million and the contract will not be let for bid until July at the earliest. It is estimated it will take two seasons to build.
 Priority of bush airfields in 1963-64 include: New Stuyahok, Koliganek, Ekwok, Russion Mis- sion, Egegik, Buckland, Shung- nak and Amber River. The Ice Bloc recommended that the Vain wright bush airfield be moved in the priority list because of the need. There is a DEW Line air field close to Wainwright, but ac- cording to Sen. Eben Hopson, commercial planes are not allow ed to land on it.
 Airports for which money has been appropriated include: An chorage, Dillingham;, Fairbanks, Gambell, Homer Mccarthy, Noa- talk, Seward and Sitka.
 The Ice Bloc also got together to support an appropriation for $25,OOO for state trooper to be stationed at Barrow to cover the northern part of the Second Dis trict.
 Present at the meeting were Sens. Lester Bronson, Pearse Walsh, Eben Hopson, Neal Foster, David Harrison and John Coghill as guest.

Seagulls Plague
 London's Airport

LONDON R - Seagulls can be fooled once, or twice, then they get wise.
 British air officials today re- ported finding this out to their dismay.
 Seagulls flock on some airports looking for food and when they're disturbed they swarm off in clouds. That's dangerous for planes, es- pecially jets. Several planes have had to be warned off from land ing at London Airport, officials said.
 Somebody got the idea of making tape recordings of the danger cry of seagulls. The recordings were played at London Airport and the gulls were off like shot. It worked a second time. Then the seagulls quit paying any at tention to the recordings.
