I Thursday, October 11, 1962 New Conservation Program Features Helium Pipeline AMARILLO 6T) — Helium is expected to start flowing into an underground storage field north west of here within a week in a new conservation program dedi cated Wednesday. A 430-mile pipeline to Bushton, Kan., has been completed and the gas will move from a new extrac tion plant there. Helium is used in nuclear fis sion and in aircraft. John Kelly, assistant secretary of the Interior Department, said the new program “brings together government and industry in a way that exemplifies the American way of getting things done.” The nation’s original helium plant is located west of here and a commemorative plaque was un veiled there. The conservation program will be self-liquidating and will not require a heavy increase in fed eral personnel, Kelly said. He said it will provide a new opportunity for the investment of private capi tal creating hundreds of jobs in Texas and Kansas. Four other plants will be oper ated by' private industry and are scheduled for cdjnpletion within eight months. Two plants will be in Kansas and two in the Texas Panhandle. \Band Carnival At Consolidated Slated Saturday Plans are shaping up for the annual band carnival at A&M Consolidated High School Satur day, with activities to begin at 5 p.m. Chairman of the carnival this year is Mrs. Frank Brown III and co-chairman is Mrs. Roy W.

It was learned reliably in Wash ington, however, that the govern ment has agreed to underwrite the shipment of about $13 million in medicine and food to Cuba if Castro frees the men he captured in the abortive Bay of Pigs in vasion of April 17, 1961. The amount presumably would be augmented by private sub scriptions raised by the Families Committee. Castro originally ask ed ransom totaling $62- million. Some individuals already have been ransomed by relatives of friends for as much as $100,000, and 60 sick or wounded captives were returned £o Miami last April on “credit” aginst future payment. In Washington and Miami, Cub an exiles expressed concern over whether touchy dealings for the prisoners’ release would be af fected by the announcement of a Puerto Rico-based anti-Castro ac tion group, Alpha 66, that it raid ed Isabela de la Sagua on Cuba’s north coast before dawn Wednes day, killing 20 20 in a battle with Cuban militia and Russian mili tary men. Pan American World Airways, which operates jets capable of carrying 1744 passengers each, has said it will make these avail able if needed to fly Castro’s cap tives to the United States. Whatever amount the U.S. gov ernment contributes toward free ing the captives, reaction seemed certain in Congress. Some mem bers have voiced sharp opposition to any payment of what they call ransom. It was learned $3 million al- ready has been appropriated which could be used for helping free the prisoners. Thei'e was a reported dispute over whether $10 million more could be provided from the Central Intelligence Agency or whether it must be ap propriated also. The World Telegram and Sun’s story said Donovan was asked by Atty. Gen. Robert Kennedy last June to undertake negotiating for release of the men captured in the abortive invasion which the United States backed. It said the president’s brother told Donovan the White House had a “moral obligation” to free the prisoners, Met JFK Through Hoax Three 17-year-old St. Paul high school boys wear bra smiles after telling how they posed as German exd students to fool Secret Service men and Sen.

Kennedy Declares Disaster Area WASHINGTON — President Kennedy declared Wednesday that a major disaster area exists in Mississippi because the danger surrounding efforts to recover four tanks of liquid chlorine from a sunken barge. Army Engineers are preparing to raise the tanks from a barge that sank March 23, 1961 in the Mississippi River near Natchez. The President’s declaration is a legal preliminary to protect civil ians in the area. The declaration, requested by Gov. Ross Barnett, makes it pos sible for the federal government to pay the expenses of Mississippi National Guardsmen used in the recovery attempt. In a tape-recorded talk present ed at Natchez, Barnett said he ex pected no emergency to arise from the salvage operation. Kennedy said extreme care is being exercised but he has been advised that the operation pre sents a very substantial hazard. If one of the steel tanks should rupture, poisonous chlorine gas could spread through the area. This might make an emergency evacuation of civilians necessary. “But some of the teachers having ulcers,” said Bill Wat 17. “They’re Democrats, andii of the stories said we did! thing to make fun of then dent.” Not so, said the yout|, just wanted to meet him, tS all.” It all happened Saturday, id President Kennedy arrived a downtown Minneapolis hotel« weekend politicking trip to I nesota.
