Arms Plans
In Advance
Total Defense Outlay
Set Over $50 Billion
WASHINGTON (P) - Secretary
of Defense Robert S. McNamara
said yesterday the Pentagon is
making. a five-year projection of
military supply and research needs
to help business, workers and com-
munities gear their economic poli-
cies accordingly.
McNamara told the final session
of President John F. Kennedy's
Conference on National Economic
Issues the aim is to alert the pri-
vate economy well beforehand of
intended changes and allocations
in weapons orders and similar pro-
curement. He said the advance
plans will be laid out by industries
and areas.
The totaldefense spending, will
average well in excess of $50 bil-
lion annually for the next five
years, McNamara said.
h Asks Deficit Cut
Also at the conference, Secre-
tary of the Treasury Douglas Dil-
lon said the various steps being
taken by the government to cut
down the present $3 billion balance
of payments deficit are working
out. He said these steps will cut the
the deficit to an annual basis of
$1 billion. He said increased ex-
ports will have to make up the dif-
ference.
Secretary of Commerce Luther
H. Hodges kicked off an argument
about demands -of some labor un-
ions for a shorter work week.
Hodges said those who favored a
reduction in the 40-hour week are
pessimistsclacking confidence in
the nation's economic future.
Charles R. ihdn spokesman for
the National Association of Man-
facturers, said workers. could have
more leisure if they want it but it
wouldberat the expense of higher
living standards.
Predicts Shorter Day
John T. Dunlop of Harvard pre-
dicted work hours will be cut even-
tually in industries having per-
sistently high uinemployment.
The Economic Conference came
to an end with participants saying
that while it ,hadn't produced any
general agreements among the in-
dustry, labor and public groups
it had at least broken the ice for
more deliberate future considera-
tion of key issues.

Thailand
May Ask
More Aid
LONDON (IP-Four Southeast
Asia Treaty Organization allies
last night expected formal invita-
tions from the Bangkok govern-
ment to send token military forces
into Thailand.
Qualified diplomats said the
Thais have been urged by the
United States in the past few days
to make this request. The United
States already is building up a
force of 5,000 Marines and Army
soldiers to strengthen Thailand's
security. The Thais appear to have
been persuaded that other SEATO
forces would be a good sign of
solidarity.
The four awaiting Bangkok's
word are Britain, Australia, New
Zealand and the Philippines.
French President Charles de
Gaulle is expected to rule against
F r en ch participation. Another
SEATO member, Pakistan, is heav-
ily engaged in an old dispute with
India and has been somewhat dis-
gruntled lately over some aspects
of their military cooperation with
the West.
Ih Thailand's Foreign Minister
Thanat Khoman said an an-
nouncement would be made soon
about other SEATO nations' con-
tribution.
Authoritative sources in Canber-
ra said Australia may announce
the sending of jet fighters to Thai-
land.
Government
Plans To Move
Stored Grain
WASHINGTON (P)-The Agri-
culture Department, in a surprise
move, said yesterday it will re-
move all government grain from
elevators and warehouses owned or
controlled by Billie Sol Estes.
The only explanation offered
was that Secretary of Agriculture
Orville L. Freeman had decided
"that the best interests of the de-
partment would be served by mo-
ing this grain out in an orderly
manner."
Estes has declared his financial
empire bankrupt and is under in-
'dictment on fraud charges.
So far, there have been no
charges of irregularities inEstes'
grain storage operations, but there
have been allegations that Estes
received favored treatment in
keeping his facilities filled while
others in the areahad available
space.
George A. Barnes, an assistant
to Freeman, said the 42 million
bushels of grain stored in Estes'
facilities would be moved out
through regular channels over a
period of about 18 months. He said
there would be no "crash" pro-
gram to get it out.
The announcement came at the
first of a new series of two-a-day
briefings on the Estes case.

Dutch Move
Women Out
FAKFAK, West New Guinea (R)
-Ships and planes are withdraw-
ing about 700 Dutch women and
children from peninsular villages
of West New Guinea to remove
them from the hazards of a jungle
war between Dutch forces and in-
filtrating Indonesians.
Meanwhile Dutch Premier Jan,
de Quay appealed urgently to UN
Acting Secretary-General U Thant
to intervene in the fighting and
send observers to help check what
he called Indonesia's aggression,
"clearly prepared and intended as
such."
Lower House Debate
The Netherlands lower house
scheduled a debate at the Hague
tomorrow on the crisis.
The government in Hollandia
announced yesterday it is permit-
ting Dutch families to leave towns
and villages along a vulnerable
500-mile stretch of the west and
southwest coast which has been
the target for a half dozen drops
by Indonesian parachute troops.
About 400 Indonesian soldiers
are estimated to have landed in
the campaign by President Sukar-
no's government to capture this
island territory, which the Dutch
retained when they freed the rest
of the East Indies in 1949.
Military Base
The women and children will
be resettled on Biak, an island at
the entrance of Geelvink Bay on
the north coast. This was a Japan-
ese military base in World War II
and is now a relay station for
Dutch reinforcements from the
Netherlands.
Normal life has come almost to
a standstill in the southwest coas-
tal area.
Durant Files
Suit on Stahiin
DETROIT (M)-A $1-million suit
filed yesterday accuses Sen. John
H. Stahlin (R-Belding) and his
press aide of libel when they com-
plained Richard Durant was try-
ing to take over the Republican
Party in Wayne County.
Durant, a Grosse Pointe resi-
dent and "proud to be a member
of the John Birch Society," said
he will withdraw the suit he filed
yesterday if Stahlin "retracts and
apologizes."

the number rounded up and forc-
ibly returned.
Crowded Tenement
It is believed that at least 8,000
to 10,000 more got through the
border patrols and found haven
in Hong Kong's crowded tene-
ments. Normally about 60,000 ref-
ugees, legal and illegal, enter Hong
Kong each year.
Border police sources said tem-
pers were growing short on all
sides. The refugees, who at first
submitted docilely to arrest and
deportation, are growing more
truculent. Hong Kong's thousands
of Chinese residents crammed into
squalid quarters are increasingly
abusive of officials. And police
and troops are showing the strain
from almost continuous duty in
the three-week crisis.
Angry Chinese Crowds
"The situation can blowsup at
any time," a police informant said.
A British police officer was as-
sualted Monday by an angry Chi-
nese crowd which tried to stop
truck convoys forcibly returning
captured refugees to the Red Chi-
nese border.
U.S. To Study
Chinese Plight
WASHINGTON (AP)-Sen. Phil-
ip A. Hart (D-Mich.), announced
yesterday a Senate Judiciary sub-
committee will launch an inquiry
next week into the plight of the
Hong Kong refugees from Red
China.
Hart, chairman of the subcom-
mittee, said in a statement that
representatives of the State De-
partment will testify at the open-
ing of hearings Tuesday, to be fol-
lowed by officials of private relief
agencies with programs in Hong
Kong.

HONG KONG:
British Colony Braces
For Influx of Refugees
HONG KONG (j) - A dangerously explosive situation built
up in this British Crown Colony's refugee-infiltrated border area yes-
terday.
New waves of refugees seeking to flee from hungry Red China
were reported en route to the guarded border.
In the last 48 hours, it is estimated 9,000 refugees were caught
after they got through the barricades. Since May 1, nearly 50,000

WASHINGTON (P) - President
John F. Kennedy was reported to
have told Congressional leaders
yesterday that 'American Medical
Association doctors fighting his'
Medicare Plan are trying to con-
fuse the people and are not prop-
erly informed.
Senf. Hubert H. Humphrey of
Minnesota, Assistant Senate Dem-
ocratic leader, relayed this word
New 'eramic Glaze'

Protects. Nails

to reporters after a White House
breakfast conference of the top
Democrats and the President.
He said Kennedy repeated a
previous charge that the doctors,
who contend the provisions for fi-
nancing health insurance for the
elderly through social security
taxes means socialized medicine,
have not studied the administra-
tion measure.
The AMA mounted a nation-
wide, televised counter-attack last
night against pro-Medicare rallies
held, over the weekend -- one of
them adressed bykthe President.
Their leaders called it a "cruel
hoax" which would "heartlessly
ignore millions" needing coverage.
The Medicare issue, one of the
most controversial before Con-
gress, is under consideration by
the House Ways and Means Com-
mittee.

With the entire feminine
world of fashion buzzing in
excitement over the fabulous
Faberge collection of cosmetics
Extraordinairewomen are apt
to get so fascinated with all
the beautiful lipstick, Nail
Glace, and eye makeup colours
- and the exciting black-and-
white packages -that they
sometimes overlook the more
practical - but surely just as
newsworthy - creations.

Among the most important
and unusual of these Faberge
innovations is a most remark-
able new nail care discovery,
Ceramic Glaze. Developed by
Faberge after years of pains-
taking research and testing,
Ceramic Glaze embodies a
principle - glazing - used by
artists for centuries to protect
and beautify their precious
ceramic masterpieces. Once
this was laborious and time-
consuming; now, thanks to
Faberge, the same effect is
achieved through a marvelous
scientific formulation that
makes Ceramic Glaze so unique
and so amazingly effective.
Ingenious Ceramic Glaze
works in three separate ways
-- as base, as sealer, as a col-
ourless polish. Under colour,
Ceramic Glaze forms a shock-
absorbent foundation cushion
of super-adherence that actu-
ally fuses into the',colour you
apply over it... makes it cling
tenaciously. Over colour,
Ceramic Glaze continues this
incredible fusing action to
form a tough and flexible
sparkling coat of armor that
guards the manicure from
water, weather, wear- makes
it last longer, look more
"alive." As a colourless polish,
Ceramic Glaze gives dull, life-
less nails the rosy gloss and
glow of health, vigor, strength
...and it protects as it pretties
them!
