Ellsberg testifies on
'63 diplomacy crisis

NOW
THE MOVIE THAT ASKS THE QUESTION:
"Must Co-Eotus Always Be Interruptus?"
IS HERE

LOS ANGELES (Reuter) -
Pentagon Papers trial defend-
ant Dr. Daniel Ellsberg said on
the witness stand yesterday that
a crisis over the manufacturing
of the Skybolt Missile in 1963 led
to a near rupture of relations be-
tween the United States and Bri-
tain.
Ellsberg, describing the top-
secret work he did for the U. S.
government as he began the sec-
ond day of his testimony, said
he was called in by a Special As-
sistant to President Kennedy to
make a report on the Skybolt
crisis.
"President Kennedy was en-
tirely surprised (by the crisis),"
Ellsberg testified.
Ellsberg is standing trial on
charges of espionage, conspir-
acy and theft for leaking the
top-secret Pentagon Papers on
I the Vietnam War which burst
into world headlines in 1971.
But he has not yet reached in
his testimony his association
with the preparation of the Pen-
tagon Papers, dealing so far on-
ly with work he did for earlier
crises - like the Cuban Missile
Crisis and the Berlin Blockade
Crisis.
On the crisis over the air-de-
livered Skybolt Missile Ellsberg
said: "The President had not ex-
pected it to cause any trouble."

He said Britain had expected
to be given a large part in manu-
facturing the missile because it
was to be used to equip a major
section of Britain's strategic
sources.
"Therefore, when we canceled
production of the missiles, Bri-
tain's Prime Minister MacMil-
lan reacted with very great an-
ger and a political crisis erupted
in Britain."

RUSSIANS PAY $120 EACH:
Jeans boom on black market

Ellsberg

MOSCOW (Reuter) - Genuine
American jeans are the hottest
line now being peddled in the sec-
ond-hand markets of Soviet cities
despite police action to stamp out
their sale.
They sell for a standard black
market price of 100 roublesI
(about 120 dollars) a pair in the
used clothing markets of towns
like Odessa, Baku, Lvov, Moscowa
and Leningrad. This represents aI
profit of more than 1,000 per cent
which is split up between the "im-
porter," often a sailor - and the
black market hawker.
Ownership of a pair of Ameri-
can jeans brings its own prob-
lems - chief among them a high
risk of loss.
A young Frenchman in Moscow
who went to a city swimming
pool dried off and went to re-
trieve his clothes, only to find his,
American jeans had disappeared.
Fortunately,einstheir place, some-
one had left a pair of tattered Rus-'
sian pants.
