JFK CALLS UPON
Organized Labor
To Create a Better
World to Live In .
NEW YORK W) — President
Kennedy urged all organized labor
Saturday to help the country com
plete its unfinished business and
create a better world in which to
live.
Every generation, Kennedy said,
must build a road for the next
generation to follow.
Speaking at the dedication of a
$40 million cooperative apartment
project, Kennedy rejected the
theory that society can rest on its
laurels.
“I can’t accept that at all,” he
said.
The President spoke to a crowd
estimated by police at 15,000 to
20,000 assembled on the concrete
plaza of the huge apartment de
velopment, erected by the Inter
national Ladies Garment Workers
Union.
They stood under a broiling sun
and 95-degree temperature to hear
the President, Gov. Nelson Rocke
feller, AFL-CIO President George
Meany and ILGWU President
David Dubinsky.
As he rose to speak, Kenendy
received a hearty birthday greet
ing from the trong, which sang
the familiar “Happy Birthday to
You.” He becomes 45 on May 29.
Taking note of the oppressive
heat, Kennedy got a laugh when
he said he wanted to register a
protest against “the sweatshop
conditions under which we work
today.”
The garment district workers,
who used to grieve vigorously at
sweatshop conditions of their daily
jobs, got a kick out of that one.
Kennedy held out the ILGWU
project as an example of a contri
bution Of the general nnhlic that
other unions would copy.
Then he called upon all of
organized labor to help complete
“the unfinished business of our
society.”
GRENADE INJURES
THREE U.S. SERVICEMEN
SAIGON, South Viet Name UFI—
Three American servicemen and
eight Vitenamese were injured
Saturday night by a grenade ex
plosion on a street before a U.S.
military billet in downtown Sai
gon. The attack fanned specula
tion that Communist guerrillas
have launched a new Algeria-style
terrorist campaign.
The bombing followed a similar
incident Thursday when a grenade
explosion at a sidewalk cafe fre
quented by U.S. servicemen in
jured two Germans.
The latest attack coincided with
the birthday of Ho Chi Minh, lead
er of Communist North Viet Nam,
which is supporting the Communist
push against this Southeast Asian
country.
None of the victims were be
lieved to be seriously injured.
Military sources said the gren
ades used in both attacks were
homemade.

WHITTIER UR — Having suc
cessfully launched an 810-mile
route extension to Alaska for

COUNTER AN INVASION
BERLIN UPl —- Gen. George II.
Decker, U.S. Army Chief of Staff,
said Saturday U.S. troops in Thai
land have no orders to counter an

there were an invasion, we would
have to reconsider the orders.”

U.S. forces in Laos will have to do
any actual fighting. He said there
presence is a sign of American

forces are under orders to defend
themselves if attacked. That is
the responsibility of any com
mander.”
There are no plans now to send
any additional troops to Thailand,
he said, but added it is still an
American objective to reach a po
litical solution in Laos.
Gen. Decker held the news con
