Warren Ber, Mrs. Jacob Landry, JFK Takes Time For Conferences By MERRIMAN SMITH UPI White House Reporter HYANNIS PORT, Mass. (UPI) -President Kennedy takes time off from his holiday vacation day confer with -ranking officials of his administration. Labor Secretary Arthur J. Goldberg arrived here late Sunday night from Washington and had a morning appointment with Kennedy at the President's summer home where the Chief Executive and his family are spending the long Fourth of July weekend.
The two men were scheduled to discuss the coast-to-coast maritime strike and the possibility of seeking Taft-Hartley injunction that would temporarily end the dispute for an 80-day cooling-off period. Dr. James Killian, chairman of the President's board of consultants on foreign intelligence activities, scheduled to meet with Kennedy. Plans for overhauling the Central Intelligence Agency, which has been under study since the unsuccessful Cuban invasion, could come from chis meeting although no immediate announcement was expected. If management and union negotiators in New York have not reached a settlement in the maritime strike by the time Goldberg sees the President, the secretary was prepared to recommend federal action toward an injunction.
Killian's foreign intelligence board was in session in Washington over the weekend and the chairman was due to report to Kennedy on the conferences. Kennedy and Secretary of State Dean Rusk conferred via long distance Saturday night and again Sunday morning, largely over the crisis in Kuwait. The White House said that in the call Sunday, the President and Rusk also talked about the upcoming U. S. reply to Russia's note on Berlin and the, Soviet intention to conclude separate peace with East Germany.
The reply, coordinated similar communications from France and Great Britain, may be delivered to the Soviet Union later this week.

A long span three bearing swivel-mount eliminates extreme steering stresses, resulting in dependability with less steering friction and reduced wear. The unit swivels and tilts in a full gimbal suspension system which is more dependable, more rugged, and in exterior appearance than the yoke arm structure used on other drive units. High strength heat treated aluminum alloy is used in the gimbal ring, steering arm and propeller.

The MerCruiser can be easily removed and reinstalled without disturbing the engine installation. The single reservoir supply eliminates the need for an oil pump and simplifies maintenance. The MerCruiser stern drive has a number of advantages over conventional inboard installations. It permits safe operation in shallow water and in water with submerged or floating obstacles. It is steered by propeller thrust, rather than by a rudder, and SO reacts positively to the steering control at even the lowest speeds; this makes the extremely maneuverable.
It solves docking, mooring, trailering, launching, and propeller access problems presented by conventional inboard powerplants.

Number 3 Page Nine Kuwait Is Turned Into Armed Camp By DAVID DUGAS United Press International KUWAIT (UPI)-British troops, tanks and warships, joined by Saudi Arabian army units, turned the tiny oil-rich sheikdom of Kuwait into an armed camp today for defense against a possible attack by Iraq. The military buildup seemed to dispel some of the fears that have gripped Kuwait's 300,000 inhabitants since Iraq laid claim to the Persian Gulf sheikdom last week. Baghdad Radio and Iraqi spokesmen at the United Nations in New York insisted that Iraq would not use force to implement its claim. The arrival of Saudi.
Arabian troops Sunday served to increase Iraq's isolation from its fellow Arab states over the Kuwait question. The United Arab Republic has led the Arab criticism of Iraq's Premier Abdul Karim Kassem for move against Kuwaiti "independence." The Soviet Communist party newspaper Pravda accused Britain of "aggressive acts" for dispatching troops to Kuwait. The official paper charged Britain with creating tension in the Middle East. Britain, which gets 40 per cent of its oil from Kuwait, landed a second of troops from the carrier Bulwark Sunday to reinforce the land, sea and air forces sent in Saturday. At least 1,000 British troops were on hand.
The forces were landed at the request of Kuwait's ruling Sheik Abdullah As-salim As under terms of an agreement signed with Britain last month. The pact ended Kuwait's status as a British protectorate, but provided British military assistance if requested. The ruling sheik stressed in an interview that all and Saudi Arabian troops Britishla be withdrawn immediately "after the end of the crisis." He said "Kassem alone can determine the necessity of these forces remaining in Number 1 Guillotte, Elizabeth Landry, Roxie Pitre, Mary Gerami, Carol George, Lenora Babin, Peggy Green, Libby McGee and Eva Leger.

Teeners Confess In Abbeville To Disgraceful Acts -Abbeville The Abbeville City Police reported they are still investigating a series of teenage rampages today although they recently nabbed two boys and seven girls after a series of disgraceful acts. A series of incidents which have occurred in Abbeville recently has terrorized the citizenry. Recently a woman was followed by two teenage boys from her place of business then came the stints of two boys and seven girls. The two boys confessed to City Police Chief A. L.
Lene regarding sending a Priest on a fake call to administer Sacraments to an alleged dying person, sending groceries to the same place, sending taxi cabs on false calls and other things. After locating the two boys, seven girls went to work on the Abbeville residents by placing feminine hygenic items on the lawn and attaching notes of scorn. The teenage terrorism continues in Abbeville with a series of show windows being broken, some 40 street lights were put out of commission with pellet guns and a number of incidents have occurred. Number 4 en to clear the title to the land itself," Willis said. Legislation introduced by ConWillis, of the Third Congressional District of Louisiana, would correct the situation by requiring the secretary of the interior to issue to those concerned which do not reserve the minerals in favor of the United States.
In cases where patents to the land were recently issued under the Color of Title Act, but the minerals were reserved, because existing leases, would be issued without reservation of minerals. In all cases where the government has granted a lease to a third party the Secretary would be required to transfer the lease to the landowner and the landowner would receive the rents and royalties under the lease. CONGRESSMAN Willis' bill lists lands located in the Third District but other members of the Louisiana delegation in Congress may offer similar legislation for the benefit their constitutents. "All of the Nation's land was of course in the beginning by the government, and title must pass out of the government by a patent," Congressman Willis pointed out, "but for one reason or another no patents were issued lout of the government covering the lands involved in my bill. My attention has been called by attorneys to a number of cases in which most of the landowners concerned became aware of the vulnerability of their titles only after Federal mineral leases had been issued to third parties by the government.
some cases patents were issued" by the State of Louisiana to Louisiana residents on the assumption that title has passed from Federal to the State government under the Swamp Land Grant Acts, but United States now claims that the title was never divested in favor of Louisiana. Some owners went ahead and ob-1 tained Color of patents with the government reserving mineral rights. Others apparently took no action, while still others have been contesting claims and are possibly still negotiating Federal Government or with the State of Louisiana in an effort to straighten out their Willis said.

Some Agreement Reached But later two shipowners groups representing about 321 of 900 commercial ships flying the U.S. flag reached agreement with the last of several unions involved in walkout.
It could not be learned, this whether the development administra- had eased the pressure on shipping affecting the health and safety of the nation, eliminating the necessity of a Taft-Hartley injunction. The Engineers Union, which has not settled with the biggest group of shipowners, told David L. Cole, head of the presidential factfinding group, that it would fight a Taft-Hartley injunction on grounds that its members were supervisory personnel and did not come under the law's jurisdiction. About 300 of the 900 ships actually are tied up on the nation's three coasts now. The most seriously affected area was the island state of Hawaii which has only a two-week supply of food on hand.
The major obstacle to a complete end to the walkout was a demand by the Marine Engineers Benevolent Association that 450 U.S. owned ships which fly foreign flags to cut costs and save on taxes be brought under union organization jurisdiction. Owners Refuse Demand The American Merchant Marine Institute (AMMI), which represents shipowners who control more than 450 U.S. flag vessels, refused to comply with this demand. The AMMI has reached agreements with all other unions involved on their vessels, including the National Maritime Union, Masters Mates Pilots, and the American Radio Association, but the ships cannot sail without engineers.
Some 250 ships were freed by Sunday's agreement between Gulf Coast operators and the Masters. Owners of 71 other ships whose engineers belong to another union, also reached accord yesterday enabling them to operate. The inter-union wrangling over how to settle the strike exploded Sunday into seven different brawls among seamen and one egg-andbottle throwing session at Paul Hall, president of the Seafarers International Union. The Hotel Edison, where the negotiating sessions were being held, asked the federal mediators to leave and the talks were adjourned to a federal mediation -building where more fighting broke out. No rests were made.
