Veterans Day - 1962
f | TODAY WE OBSERVE the anniversary that started out as
Armistice Day at the end of World War I and developed
into Veterans Day to encompass those brave men and women
who gave their lives in conflicts since that time for their country
and the American Way of Life.
It was not and is not a day of celebration, but a day of re
membering and one of observation on the meaning of keeping
the peace.
On that first Armistice Day the Department of the Army said:
"Resolved — that America shall remain strong."
America has stayed strong to keep the peace and its strength
was tested when the President of the United States issued the recent
warning to Russia to remove the missiles from Cuba. It must be
made clear to the people of all the nations on this earth that no
possible gain can come from aggression.
We have built and are maintaining a superior strength (al
though there are weak spots, such as Northwestern Alaska de
fenses). This strength will be used when Freedom is imperiled.
This monument of strength, dedicated to those who have given
their lives to keep peace, can be a Monument of Peace for gen
erations to come.

GOP Presidential Timber
SANTA CLARA, Calif. —
Arizon’s U.S. Sen. Barry Gold
water says fellow Republicans
Gov. Nelson Rockefeller of New
York and Michigan’s governor
elect, George Romney, could be
the 1964 Presidential timber.
Rockefeller “is much closer to
the conservatives than most con
servatives want to admit,” Gold
water said. But Romney “ran out
side the party organization and
one Eisenhower in a decade is
enough.”
The conservative senator said,
“I’m not running” when asked if
he might enter the 1964 California
primary. He added, however, that
he could not stop anyone from
entering his name.

Udall Announces
Safe Fish Product
For Consumption
WASHINGTON (;P> — Secretary
of the Interior Stewart Udall has
announced that a special panel of
the National Academy of Sciences
has concluded that “a wholesome,
safe and nutritious product” can
be made from whole fish for hu
man consumption.
Udall told a news conference
this gives his department a ‘'green
light for accelerated research into
manufacture of fish protein con
centrate. a new source of food
for the world’s hungry."
He said he agreed with the
special panel that until a suitable
and acceptable fish protein con
centrate product, also sometimes
called fish flour, can be made
a vail a b ! e commercially there
should be no hearings by the Food
and Drug Administration on a pro
posed definition and standard of
identity for such a product.
Tine FDA ruled last January
that in order to be sold in this
country for human consumption
fish flour would have to be made
of cleaned fish, after the discard
of heads, tails, fins, and other
parts.
The agency was asked by ob
iontnr.'s tn finHiticr ton o
public hearing for June 18, but
this was definitely postponed after
Udall asked the Academy of Sci
ences to study the product.
The report, sent to Udall last
week by Dr. Frederick Seitz,
academy president, said in part:
“The committee concluded that
a wholesome, safe and nutritious
product can be made from whole
fish. The committee accepted the
definition of a ‘wholesome product’
to be a product which healthful
and promotes physical well-being.
It stressed the necessity of main
taining high standards in the pre
paration of the concentrate.”
The committee found there is
no immediate nutritional need for
such a product in this country but
i held that it would be of "great
value in meeting food problems
presented in times of emergency
or by expanding wrnrld popula
tion.”
The Bureau of Commercial Fish
eries is working on processes to
produce protein concentrate by re
ducing fish to a fine white powder
or a liquid by chemical or other
means.
Udall said the resulting product
could be added to any foods. He
added that by utilizing the unhar
vested catch of fish in U.S. waters
alone it is estimated a sufficient
quantity of animal protein could
be produced to supplement de
ficient diets of one billion people
for 300 days at a cost of less than
one-half cent a person a day. He
added that most of these fish today
are not commercially marketed.

j Soviet Fn'i^liltT
Balks io Uncover
Missiles Fully
The following is an eyewitness
account of the interception of a
Soviet freighter outbound from
Cuba. It was written by an
Associated Press reporter who
flew in a Navy plane over the
Atlantic during the meting of the
freighter and a U.S. destroyer.
By Jim Becker
WASHINGTON — A Soviet
freighter refused Saturday to com
pletely uncover missiles lashed to
its deck, despite repeated requests
from a U.S. Navy destroyer steam
ing along side to inspect its cargo.
Crewmen aboard the freighter
Anosov, stripped to the waist in
the bright early morning sun, tug
ged the heavy brown canvas off
a portion of two of the eight mis
sile-shaped objects so the destroyer
could take a look.
A thin gauze covering remained,
but the Soviet ship would not re
move that, despite requests from
the destroyer Barry.
At one point, the destroyer re
ported by radio that it was “satis
fied" with the results of its in
spection. A few minutes later it
renewed the request for the mis
siles to be completely uncovered,
and apparently wanted all of the
missiles revealed for photograph
ing.
It was not clear why the de
stroyer changed its mind or wheth
er the Soviet ship was required
to comply under the U.S.-Russian
agreement on inspection of the
missiles being removed from their
Cuban bases.
The Soviet freighter replied that
further uncovering was “against
the orders of the Soviet govern
ment,” and said it had already
done more than it was supposed
to do.
The Barry asked the commander
of the Atlantic Fleet at Norfolk,
Va., for further instructions, and
continued to cruise in tandem
with the Anosov.
There appeared to be no doubt
that the eight oblong objects on
the deck of the freighter were
missiles. They were 60 to 70 feet
long and about a dozen feet in
diameter. Two Navy anti-sub
marine planes with newsmen
aboard hovered over the scene. It
was the first time newsmen have
been allowed to witness the in
spection techniques used to verify
the removal of Soviet missiles.
Later, a Pentagon spokesman
said, the inspection was completed
without incident.

j LiggcU & Myers Co.
Not Libel for Damages
PITTSBURGH UP) — A federal
court jury ruled Saturday that
cigarette smoking was a cause of
Otto Pritchard's lung cancer but
said the Liggett & Myers Tobacco
Co. was not liable for damages.
The jury of eight women and
four men returned the verdict in
the second day of deliberation.
In answer to eight specific ques
tions handl'd them by Judge John
Miller of U.S. District Court, the
jury said that:
1. Smoking Chesterfield ciga
rettes was "the cause or one of
the causes of cancer in his right
lung.”
2. Liggett & Myers, maker of
j Chesterfields, was not negligent.
! 3. Liggett ^ Myers did nothing
to induce Pritchard to purchase
the cigarettes.
4. Pritchard assumed "the risk
of injury by his smoking of
Chesterfield cigarettes.”
Finally, the jury ruled Pritchard
cannot receive any damages from
Liggett it Myers.
Pritchard, a 64-year-old Pitts
burgh carpenter, had sued the
cigarette manufacturer, contending
Chesterfields caused his lung can
cer.
Pritchard’s attorney, James Mc
Ardle, had asked the jury for a
$213,000 verdict.
During the six - week trial,
Pritchard testified he smoked
Chesterfields regularly from the
1920s until 1953 when the lung
was removed.
Several doctors, testifying for
Pritchard, said they believed the
cigarette smoke was responsible
for the cancer.
Other doctors testified for Lig
gett & Myers that there was no
evidence to link cigarette smoking
with lung cancer.
