THAILAND SATISFIED
WITH U.S. SUPPORT FORCES
BANGKOK, Thailand <#> — The
United States held out hopes today
other Southeast Asia Treaty Or
ganization powers would send
forces to Thailand but Thai offi
cials were reported satisfied Amer
ican 'support is enough to ward off
any Communist incursions from
neighboring Laos.
Gen. Paul D. Harkins, com
mander of U.S. forces in Southeast.
Asia, said after an inspection tour
of the border front that his men
had the “situation well in hand.”
Tanks were on the way from
Hawaii with the buildup moving
steadily toward a total strength of
5,000 men.
United States Ambassador Ken
neth Young said the Americans
would remain as long as the Red
threat to this pro-Western king
dom existed and would welcome
troops from other SEATO nations
joining them.
With the exception of France,
all other members of the eight
nation anti-Communist alliance
have indicated a willingness to send
token forces if Thailand asks for
them.
The Thai government called on
the Americans but there has been
no report further help would be
sought from others, at least at
this time.
The Laotian border was quiet,
but the Communist bloc warned
the massing of American troops
along the frontier threatened to
stir up trouble.
The Soviet Communist party
organ paper Pravda warned the
American landings in Thailand
may “cause retaliatory action from
the other side.”

ARMY WILL DEPLOY NEW
SHOOT AND SCOOT MISSILE
WASHINGTON W — The Army
will deploy its new “Shoot and
Scoot” battlefield missile — the
Sergeant — overseas next year. It
can carry a nuclear warhead.
Secretary of the Army Elvis J.
Stahr, announcing this Saturday,
did not disclose the number of
Sergeant battalions to be sent nor
their future bases.
The solid fuel missile is de
signed to replace the older, liquid
fuel Corporal, in use for the last
half dozen years and now in the
hands of troops in West Germany.
Stahr also announced that two
more Sergeant battalions will have
been added to the Army by June
30. They will be the 3rd and 5th
Missile Battalions of the 77th
artillery Regiment. They will
train at Fort Sill, Okla.
By using solid instead of liquid
fuel, the Sergeant can be fired
far faster than the Corporal and
be constantly ready for use, the
Army said.
Both weapons have about 75
miles range.

REP. PELLY SEEKS
JUSTIFICATION ON
FOREIGN CARRIER USE
WASHINGTON W) — A justifi
cation of the use of foreign in
stead of American carriers for a
recent government shipment to
Alaska was requested by Rep.
Thomas M. Pelly, (R-Wn.).
The request was in the form
of similar letters to Administrator
N. E. Halaby of the Federal Avia
tion Agency and to Administrator
Bernard Bountin of the General
Services Administration.
Pelly said he had been advised
that the FAA recently shipped
14,000 tons of electronic and other
equipment to Alaska.
“In this connection,” he wrote
Halaby, “this shipment was made
by foreign carriers, including the
subsidized, government -owned
Canadian National Railroad, to
Prince Rupert and thence to Whit
tier, Alaska, by foreign flag barge
service.
“I believe this shipment left
Prince Rupert on May 10, 1962.”
Pelly added that he would ap
preciate “being advised as to what
justification there was for using
foreign carriers rather than Amer
ican railroads and other carriers.”

HOFFA INDICTED ON
CHARGES OF COLLECTING
$1 MILLION ILLEGALLY
NASHVILLE, Tenn. UR — Team
sters Union President James R.
Hoffa was indicted by a federal
court jury here Friday on charges
of violating the Taft-Hartly Law
and collecting some $1 million il
legally.
The two-count indictment, which
involved payment through an auto
transport firm incorporated in
Nashville, was revealed in Wash
ington by Atty. Gen. Robert Ken
nedy. The Attorney General, along
with his brother President Ken
nedy, then a senator, participated
in an investigation of the firm by
the McCellan Committee looking
into improper labor practices.
Hoffa, who pleaded innocent
earlier Friday to a charge of as
sault pressed by a union aide, de
clined to discuss the new indict
ment with newsmen. But a Team
ster official in Chicago said Hoffa
“shed no tears” when informed
of it.
Hoffa, who flew to Chicago for
j two scheduled talks after his
Washington court appearance, sent
Harold Gibbons, executive vice
president of the Teamsters, as a
substitute at a scheduled Chicago
press conference.
“If it (the indictment) is any
thing like other indictments against
labor leaders in this country,”
Gibbons told news men, “the es
sence of it is anything but the
truth.”
