RCA Will Train
100 Alaskans
In Electronics
JUNEAU UO — The Bureau of
Indian Affairs said the Radio Cor
poration of America has announced
plans for sharp expansion of its
technical study program for Alaska
natives.
RCA started the program in
1960 when the Bureau of Indian
Affairs arranged for eight Alaskan
natives to complete electronic
studies at RCA institutes.
Returning to Alaska, the natives
readily found jobs in the White
Alice Communications network
and the program was continued
through 1961 and 1962.
Fred D. Chiei Jr., manager of
the White Alice project for RCA,
said 100 Alaskans would be select
ed for training this year and would
be assigned to RCA institutes in
Los Angeles.
The RCA courses are open to
Alaska native people with one
quarter or more of native blood,
between the ages of 18 and 35,
who have completed the tenth
grade, with study in mathematics
and general science.

JFK Joins Brothers
In “Waiting Game”
By FRANCES LEWINE
PALM BEACH, Fla. U!) — Pre
sident and Mrs. Kennedy are ex
pecting their third child in Au
gust and are elated.
The vacation White House an
nounced the news Monday and
said the first lady, 33, is in good
health but will cancel her official
activities.
Thus, the President, 45, joins his
two younger brothers in the wait
ing game. Atty. Gen. Robert F.
Kennedy’s wife Ethel is expecting
their eighth child in June. Joan,
wife of Sen. Edward M. Kennedy,
D-Mass., is awaiting their third in
August.
Not since the days of Grover
Cleveland has a first family had
such an announcement to make.
Cleveland was the father of five.
One daughter, Esther, was the first
child born to a President in office.
She was born in the White House
on Sept. 9, 1893.
The Kennedys have been ob
viously elated at the prospect of
another child and their good hu
mor has been evident during their
Easter holiday at this Florida re
sort community.
There had been persistent ru
mors in recent weeks that Mrs.
Kennedy might be pregnant be
cause since late December she has
virtually given up her favorite
sports of horseback riding and
water skiing.
But, when White House Press
Secretary Pierre Salinger announ
ced that he would hold a special
news briefing, the press corps
speculated on such weighty top
ics as steel price rises and the
President’s forthcoming trip to
Europe. So the announcement took
them all by surprise.
She will spend the summer at
Cape Cod with her children. She
expects to return to Washington
for the birth of the baby which
will be delivered by caesarean
section.
The first lady, who has a history
of miscarriages, has obviously been
taking it easy in recent months,
but her health and condition were
reported to be fine.
It’s more of a woman’s world
every day. A recent magazine poll
in Tokyo, once a bastion of male
strength, found that more than half
of younger Japanese husbands
“feared” their wives.

Republican Castigates
1 Passage of $450 Million
Public Works Money
WASHINGTON OP — Rep. Frank
Bow, fR-Ohio), chairman of a Re
publican budget-cutting group, said
yesterday the people of the United
States flunked the test on wheth
er they really favor economy in
government.
“Americans will pay dearly for
the $450 million worth of public
works the House voted last week,”
Bow said in a statement.
He said citizens had a wonderful
opportunity to go on record in
favor of economy during congres
sional action on the bill.
Bow noted that before passage
of the appropriation for acceler
ated works, the House Appropria
tions Committee had voted to re
ject it.
“This startling move of the ap
propriations committee was front
page news across the country, as
was the claim from the White
House that refusal of the funds
would be disastrous,” Bow said.
“Members of Congress received
hundreds of phone calls from the
officials back home who were
worried that they would lose a few
million free government dollars for
their projects.
“Where were the voices for
economy? I received two tele
grams.”
