Carrier Force is Best
Weapon, Declares Admiral
NORFOLK, Va. UP — The com
mander o fthe Atlantic Fleet Naval
Air Foree says the attack carrier
strike force is the single most po
tent weapons system ever devel
oped for conventional war. Vice
Admiral Paul Ramsey adds:
“And yet, due to its unique ver
satility, it also possesses a tre
mendous strategic nuclear strik?
capability, at only a slight addi
tional premium.”
Ramsey adds:
‘‘It is therefore capable of exert
ing whatever force is necessary tj
keep our lines of communication
free. No other weapons system can
be substituted in this task — a
task that is vital to us as a free
maritime nation, dependent on
freedom of the seas.”
Ramsey’s remarks were pre
pared for a luncheon aboard the
nuclear-powered aircraft carrier
“Enterprise.” The luncheon was
attended by delegates to the Na
tional Convention of Sigma Del
ta Chi, professional journalism so
ciety, in Norfolk.

Communists Invade
Venezuela Hospital
To Free Rebel Chief
CARACAS, Venezuela UP) — Pro
Communist terrorists invaded a
provincial hospital in Venezuela
today, killed three persons in a
gun battle and rescued a wounded
Communist leader who had been
1 captured.
The dead were a physician and
two policemen. Another policeman
was wounded critically in the at
tack on the hospital in Barquisi
meto, 1(55 miles west of Caracas.
Police said the gunmen were
members of the Armed Forces for
National Liberation.
Violence continued elsewhere in
Venezuela.
Police clashed with terrorists in
Falcon, killing a Communist lead
er, wounding three of his hench
men and capturing ten members
of the band. Police blamed the
gang for a rash of street bombings
and high school rioting in the city.
In Caracas, rebel gangs invaded
five movie houses and at gunpoint
forced the projectionists to show
F-A-L-N and Communist propa
ganda slides. There were no cas
ualties. The raiders escaped.
A Molotov cocktail set off a
fire that partially destroyed a high
school in Puerto Cabello.
The tradition of honoring an
unknown soldier stems from an
cient Greece. . . . The Athenians,
after a battle, entombed their dead
in a public sepulcher . . . and
always buried one empty coffin
to symbolize the missing soldiers.

Best Year Yet for
Nation's Stockholders
By SAM DAWSON
NEW YORK iff) — This is going
to be the best year yet for the
pocketbooks of the nation’s stock
holders.
Dollar totals of dividend pay
ments, already well ahead of last
year, are sure to hit a new rec
ord as the yearend outlays sweeten
the take.
And lucky holders of favored
issues that have shot up on the
stock exchanges will have sizable
capital gains if they cash in, or
paper profits if they hold on.
Corporate earnings seem likely
| to set a record high. They’re run
! ning well ahead of last year and
the present quarter prospects are
good. Even profit margins, pinched
since 1957, are on average back
to the level of 5 per cent of the
sales dollar.
The outflow of dividends will
help many small stockholders in
panning their own year-end spend
ing. Many look upon an added pay
ment as an extra goodie to be
spent at once. And retailers won’t
frown on that.
