France Didn't Doubt
Kennedy’s Pledge
PARIS UP) — A government
spokesman said Thursday France
never has doubted President Ken
nedy’s intention to defend West
ern Europe but wondered if this
policy will be carried out by his
successor.
The direct reply to Kennedy’s
speech at Frankfurt Tuesday came
from information Minister Alain
Peyrefitte, obviously speaking on
behalf of President Charles De
Gaulle.
In a luncheon talk to the Pari
sian Parliamentary Press Assn.,
he declared:
“The French government has
never doubted the resolution of
President Kennedy, but it may
well ask what the successor of
President Kennedy may say in
ten years time.”
Did you know that men and ants
are the only creatures that wage
mass warfare?

I Germany Seeks Revenge
MOSCOW W — Tass, the Soviet
news agency, said Thursday that
President Kennedy’s visit to West
Germany demonstrated American
support for West Germans seeking
revenge for their defeat in World
War II.
Tass, summing up the President’s
trip, said his Berlin visit contra
dicted his pledge to seek ways to
rid mankind of the threat of war.
Tass was especially bitter at
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer serv
ing as host in Berlin where, it
asserted, the West German leader
had no legal right to be.
The Soviet Union claims that
West Germany has no connection
with West Berlin, which it in
sists is purely an enclave controll
ed by the Soviet Union, Britain,
France and the United States.

K-15 Pilot Warms Up
For Altitude Record High
EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE,
IJalif. Lfl — Air Force Capt. Robert
Rushworth, warming up for an
altitude record try, guided the X-15
rocket plane more than 50 miles
ligh Thursday to earn his astro
naut’s wings.
The veteran test pilot, dropped
from a high-flying bomber, zoom
ed an estimated 3,545 miles an
hour to more than 286,000 feet,
which is a little more than 54
miles.
Rush worth, sandy - haired and
self-assured, became the Air
Force’s primary pilot in the X-15
program with the recent transfer
to Germany of Maj. Bob White,
who holds the X-15 altitude mark
of 314,750 feet.
Rushworth later this month is
expected to soar to at least 350,000
feet. Goal of yesterday’s flight was
to familiarize the pilot with how
the little edge-of-space research
craft handles at extreme altitudes.
His previous high was 223,000 feet
June 18.
Anchorage School Board
Proposes 2% Sales Tax
ANCHORAGE UP> — The An
chorage Independent School Dis
trict Board of Directors has voted
unanimously to put a proposed 2
per cent sales tax issue on an
Oct. 1 ballot here.
The sales tax proposal, often
defeated by Anchorage voters, will
appear on the same ballot as a
proposed $7.5 million general ob
ligation bond issue to finance new
school construction.
Officials estimated the proposed
sales tax would produce $2.9 mil
lion, equal to a mill levy of 8
mills on property taxes.
The board said in a resolution
that it had determined “the fi
nancial needs of the district will
require, for general operations and
debt service, greater sums than can
be provided by the present level
of property tax levy.”
The sales tax would be imposed
on all retail sales, rents and serv
ices. Such items as medical ex
penses, salaries and wages, whole
sale sales and so on would be
exempted.
