    Strike Warned
At Huge Missile
Testing Center
BROWNSVILLE, T e x.,
(AP)—The board of a union
which has threatened to put
pickets around a guided
missile testing center yester
day offered to submit their case
to a Senate investigating commit
tee.
In a telegram to Senate Majority
Leader Lyndon Johnson (D-Tex)
the union leaders said, “We would
welcome an opportunity to present
the facts in the dispute which
threatens a strike against Pan
American World Airways at the
guided missile testing center at
Cape Canaveral, Fla.”
The board, representing some
7,000 clerical workers of Pan
American including about 1,000
employed at the missile center, has
authorized its executive committee
to set a strike date after Nov. 23.

Fourteen young men from eight

Friday the youths, who have
been in the United States to study
the country and its people, com
plete their visit which has covered
a period of six months.
The group seemed impressed by

some stated that they would like
to come to A&M to further their
education.

Soviets Taunt TJ.S.
For Losing Race
By The Associated Press
MOSCOW, Nov. 6 <d?) — Nikita
Khrushchev and Mao Tze-tung, the
two top men in world communism,
made a double-barreled attack to
day on the United States gibing
at its lag on launching Sputniks
and accusing it of plotting trouble
all over the world.
Khrushchev, the Soviet party
boss, and Mao, the master of Red
China, spoke from the same plat
form before 17,000 delegates, here
from 60 nations to mark the 40th
anniversary of the Bolshevik Rev
olution.
Both predicted an inevitable vic
tory of communism over capital-
Walter T. Coleman, general
chairman of the union, said the
telegram to Johnson was unani
mously endorsed by the 14-man
board.
The telegram said the union
Would like to present their side of
the case “to the Senate Armed
Services Committee which is in
vestigating the lag in the U. S.
guided missile program since we
know the complete record will show
that the union has done everything
over a four-year period to avoid
a strike.”
Coleman said the board had seen
newspaper stories that Johnson
planned to have the Senate com
mittee investigate the lag in the
missile program.
“If he’s going to investigate why
the program is lagging, he might
as well look a why the program
may all of a sudden stop,” Cole
man said.

PINECASTLE AIR FORCE
BASE, Fla., <A>>—The Strategic
Air Command said today its crews
know exactly — or almost exactly
—what every potential target in
Russia would look like.
That is, they know how it would
look as viewed by radar from a
bomber eight or nine miles up.
Some of the secrecy about the
constantly improving atomic bomb
ing capability of the Air Force was
stripped away at SAC’s annual
bombing, navigation and reconnai-
sance competition conducted here
and at Carswell Air Force Base,
Tex., during the past six days.
Another disclosure was that the
SAC does most of its bombing by
offset-by deliberately aiming at
a point a known distance away
from the target.
At a ceremony here this after
noon, Lt. Gen. Francis Griswold,
deputy commander of SAC pre
sented 21 trophies to the winners
among the 90 crews from 45 wings
—tops among all the bomber
crews in SAC and the British
Royal Air Force-that took part.
Crew members talked in guarded
terms about the offset bombing
technique, and more freely about
radar studies of possible targets
in Russia. They were able to talk
on the basis of recent declassifi
cation of some of this information.
Presumably the material has
been made public not only because
it probably already has become
known to the Communists but be
cause the United States wants the
Soviets to know for sure that
armed aggression by the Rfeds
would bring swift nuclear retalia
tion.
ism. Both proclaimed a desire for
world peace.
Khrushchev _ proposed a world
summit conference to rule out the
possibility of another big war. He
said the enormous devastation of
such a war would be the death of
capitalism and he made a plea
for an understanding especially
with the United States on disarm
ament.
He predicted the Soviet Union
would beat the United States at
its own game and surpass it in in
dustrial production in 15 years.
He again charged that the United
: States was inciting Turkey and
Israel to attack Syria.
Mao, who received a huge ova
tion, praised Soviet “firsts,” in
cluding the earth satellites, and
hailed as wise the political meas
ures of the Soviet Communist
party from the de-Stalinzation pro
gram down to the ouster of Mar
shal Georgi Zhukov.
Khrushchev’s three-hour speech
was filled with taunts at the (United
States.
The launching of Sputnik I and
of. Sputnik IT, he said, “struck
fear and confusion into the camp
of the enemies of communism.”
“Our Sputniks are going around
and around the world waiting for
the American Sputniks to come up
and join them.”
And now, he added, the Ameri
cans are pretending they never
were in a race with the Soviet Un
ion.
“A new war would produce
enormous devastation,” he said
later. “We are convinced that as a
result of a new war, the capitalist
order will perish. However, we
Communists are not striving to
victory by such a path.”

LITTLE ROCK, Ark., (AP)
—The Army announced yes
terday it would remove half
of th^ federal troops and Na
tional Guardsmen enforcing
school intergration here.
The announcement came a few
hours after Little Rock voters had
narrowly rejected a pro-segrega
tion city government.
There was no indication that the
voting influenced the Army’s de
cision to make its second troop re
duction but it was announced just
a few hours after a moderate group
known as the Good Government
Committee candidates won control
of the city government.
The Army said its decision to
pull out about 275 of its 500 reg-“*
ulars and defederalize about 900
of 1,800 National Guardsmen will
be carried out forthwith because
of “the steady improvement in
community stability noted current
ly in Little Rock.”
An Army spokesman said he ex
pected that the regular troop re
duction would be effected before
the end of this week.
Gov. Orval Faubus who main
tains Little Rock will remain “an
occupied city as long as one fed
eral soldier remains” commented:
“They ought to go ahead and
remove the rest of them. I think
they would have long before now
if they had had a graceful way to
do it.”
Integration at Central High
School, which exploded with viol
ence that reverberated internation
ally, is now in its seventh week
but quiet.
, At the height of the integration
turmoil, the Army had well over
1,000 regular troops of the 101st
Airborne Division from Ft. Camp
bell, Ky., and federalized 10,500
Arkansas National Guardsmen.
The regular Army force was
halved Oct. 14 after the integra
tion process became routine at
