Warlike Front-Page
Photo is Rectified In
Pacific Stars and Stripes
WASHINGTON UP) — Some
body apparently forgot to brief
editors of a service newspaper on
the official line that American
soldiers are advising and support
ing South Viet Nam’s anti-Com
munist forces — not fighting.
It’s been rectified, but not be
fore a warlike front-page photo
graph published in the Army
supervised Pacific Stars and Stripes
caused considerable distress at
command level.
Under the heading “pouncing on
a Viet Red,” the photograph in
the May 26 edition showed a hel
meted American helicopter crew
man pointing a rifle against a half
naked Communist captive while
frisking the frightened - looking
man. identified in the caption as
a Viet Cong soldier.
The caption did not mention
any participation in the raid by
South Vietnamese troops, although
the job of U.S. helicopter outfits
there is to carry native soldiers
on strikes against the Reds.
The Pacific Stars and Stripes—
whose masthead describes it as
“an authorized publication of the
U.S. Armed Forces in the Far
East”—is published in Tokyo and
distributed to American service
people throughout Asia.
The Army said it is “not aware
of any reprimand to the Stars
and Stripes organizations, or any
member thereof, for the use of the
picture.”

j Betancourt Orders
j Arrest of Venezuela’s
! 400,000 Communists
CARACAS, Venezuela MR—Pres
ident Romulo Bentancourt ordered
the arrest of Venezuela’s estimated
400,000 Communists and pro
Castro extremists Wednesday night

assassination attempt.
Bentancourt said three Commu
nist terrorists plotted to assassi
nate him Wednesday with a time
bomb at the Roman Catholic Arch
bishop’s Palace in Ciudad Bolivar,
a river port 275 miles southeast of
Caracas.
The president told a national
radio audience that police nabbed
two of the terrorists as they en
tered the palace with three sticks
of dynamite and a timing device.
The third plotter got away.
“Society cannot be subject to
continued risk to property and life
by a group of pyromaniacs and
terrorists,” Bentancourt said in
ordering Interior Minister Carlos
Perez, to start an immediate, na
tionwide roundup of members of
the already banned Communist and
MIR parties. The MIR, or Move
ment of the Revolutionary Left, is
a pro-Castro revolutionary move
ment.

subversives who began moving
against him shortly after he took

He has survived three previous
known plots against is life and
two revolts against his govern
ment.

Marine History Is
Scooped Off Ocean Floor
SEATTLE Wt — Millenium after
millenium of this old earth’s his
tory arrived here yesterday, pluck
ed from the ocean floor four miles
and more below the surface of the
Pacific.
These thousands of years of ma
rine history were packed into seven
cylinders of earth 2Vi> inches in
diameter and from 11M> to 18V£
feet long.
They arrived in a freezer com-,
partment of the U.S. Coast and
Geodetic Survey ship Surveyor.
The Surveyor gathered them at
5- degree intervals along the In
ternational Dateline from Hawaii
to the Aleutian Islands.
The deepest of these cores of the
ocean bottom was taken in the
Aleutian Trench, at a depth of
3,800 fathoms. The shallowest was
taken at 3,200 fathoms—standard
6- foot fathoms.
The Surveyor's skipper. Capt.
F. J. Bryant, is slow to claim these
as the deepest cores ever taken
off the ocean bottom. He's sure
these are among the deepest cores
ever taken.
