GIVE IT TO JUAN . . .
LONDON UP1 — Prince Philip
was offered a silver trophy by his
wife Sunday — but he waved it
away.
The Prince's Windsor Park polo
team defeated a French team 9-6
to win the Westbury Cup. Philip
failed to score in the match while \
Argentine ace Juan Cavanagh i
chalked up five goals for his team, j
When Queen Elizabeth stepped
forward to hand her husband the
trophy as captain of the winning
team, he smiled and said: “I don’t
want it, give to Juan. He did all
the work.”
The Queen obeyed.

In England, it was predicted that
traveling 30 mph would cause in

CACHE IN BARBER SHOP
SAN FRANCISCO I/P — Prokopy
Dema died of a heart attack in a
downtown theater Sunday. Known
to his friends as Peter, a barber in
his 60’s, he had $2.37 in his
pockets, the coroner reported.
Three city investigators search
ing the back room of his barber
shop Friday, found cartons of
medicine, old magazines and in
sides of clocks and watches.
Under a carton-heaped mattress,
they discovered $40,000 in cash.
Another $31,000 was scattered
around in cigar boxes and en
velopes. A bank book showed an
account of $40,000.
Friends said Dema claimed he
was born in Juneau, Alaska, Feb.
14, 1901, of Finnish parents who
returned to Finland six months
later. He also claimed to have at
tended medical schools, that he
fled from Russia into China before
coming to the United States in
1927.
In 1948 Dema rented the barber
shop for $50 a month. He repaired
clocks and watches in his off hours.
Investigators are certain of at
least one thing: Dema did not
make the $111,000 from the $1.25
he charged for each haircut.

Three British
Mothers Will Get a
Taste of Army Life
LONDON — Three British
Army recruits are going into the
Army this week — with their
mothers.
The mothers will remain at the
army camp only one week. Their
sons, all volunteers will stay con
siderably longer.
The mothers will go on special
invitations from the British Army.
“We aim to show the mothers
exactly what goes on in the early
days of a recruit’s training,” ex
plained Maj. Edward Smeeden, a
Royal Engineers adjutant.
The mothers and sons are Mrs.
Olywn Billett and her son Eric,
19; Mrs. Grace Collingsworth and
Barry, 19; Mrs. Joyce Bowler and
Neil, 18.
“When Eric told me he was
joining the army, I told him he
must be out of his mind, Mrs.
Billett said.
“Getting into something with all
that getting up early and disci
pline. Then they invited me to
come and see for myself.”
Mrs. Collingsworth, who said
her week with the army will be
her first week away from house
work for 25 years, told a reporter:
"I want to see their kitchens.”
The mothers will be billeted
with married army families.
Mrs. Billett had the next to last
word: “They promised not to get
us up at 6 in the morning.”
SPONSORS OF JFK’S
MEDI CARE PLAN PREDICT
IT WILL PASS THE SENATE
WASHINGTON UD — Sponsors
of President Kennedy’s social se
curity health care plans for the
elderly predicted Saturday it would
pass the Senate by Wednesday or
Thursday.
Their confidence was bolstered
by a voice vote defeat Friday of a
Republican substitute in the first
voting test — but not a very con
clusive one — on the strongly
disputed legislation. Only about 15
senators were present at the time.
The substitute was offered Sen.
Thruston Morton of New York. He
proposed that the program be fi
nanced from general revenues of
the Treasury and provide federal
payments for private health in
surance premiums for persons over
65.
Democratic leaders originally
had pushed for passage of the ad
ministration plan last week. But
their hopes were dashed by ab
senteeism over the Fourth of July
holiday and determined opposition
from foes of any social security
approach.
Republican leader Everett Dirk
sen of Illinois said he probably
would be willing to consider a
limitation on debate by Wednes
day. Dirksen blocked such a time
limit Thursday, contending there
was a need for further discussion.
Surveys show that teachers, so
cial workers, clergymen and
writers are the people most happy
in their work.

McNamara Warns
Russia of U.S.
Striking Power
WASHINGTON UP) — Secretary
of Defense Robert McNamara has
let the Russians know the United
States has not locked itself into
a commitment to spare Russian
cities from destruction in the event
of a nuclear war.
Informed sources said Saturday
this was the import of words Mc
Namara used Friday in answering
questions to military targets as
much as possible.
In a speech three weeks ago at
Ann Arbor, Mich., McNamara said
the United States has concluded
that, so far as is feasible, principal
military objectives in event of nu
clear war “should be destruction
of the enemy’s military forces, not
of his civilian population.”
He said then that “we are giv
ing a possible opponent the strong
est imaginable incentive to refrain
from striking our own cities.”
At a news conference Friday,
McNamara stressed the flexibility
of U.S. nuclear strategy and said
“we have a force so large that we
can be certain that it can absorb
a full first strike by any potential
enemy and survive with sufficient
power to destroy the military
capabilities of that potential en
emy.
“This permits us, should we
choose to do so, to apply ... a
strategy that would direct the sur
viving force . . . against the mili
! tary targets of that potential
enemy.”
McNamara added: “I emphasize
the words ‘permit us,’ however,
rather than stating that it would
be necessarily planned to be used
in that fashion.”
