Armstrong-Jones
Says It s Definitely
For the Birds . . .
Py Eddie Gilmore
LONDON (/Pi — Antony Arm
strong-Jones disclosed at his first
ever news conference what he’s
been up to since his honeymoon—
he’s beein designing a bird cage.
It is not for his wife. Princess
Margaret, or for himself. It’s for
the London Zoo.
“I did it in the evenings and
at weekends,” he told reporters.
Answering questions at the
zoo, he denied he planned a
career as a bird home architect
and added:
“I don’t want to be known as
an aviary man.”
The huge, super-modernistic
bird cage will house between 50
and 60 fluttery inmates. For
weeks, Armstrong-Jones has been
hard at work on the model.
“I used an old razor blade to
carve out the base of the model.”
he said. “It was made of balsa
wood. I used picture wire for the
superstructure.”
His ideas—avant garde when
compared with conventional
cages — have flowed from his
desk at Kensington Palace Gar
dens since he moved in with his
royal bride on July 12. Collabor
ating with him have been two
London architects, Cedric Price
and Frank Newby.
“In the design for this aviary
we have tried to achieve an ex
citing design in architecture as
well as allowing the birds as much
light and freedom as possible,”
said Armstrong-Jones, who has
been connected with the Council
of Industrial Design since Janu
ary.
It’s exciting, all right.
From its floor sprouts a tall
bare tree, below a roof of brist
ling geometrical design of angles
and points. And there are two
waterfalls. The finished aviary
will be 150 long, 63 feet wide and
80 feet high. Visitors will be able
to walk through the center pro
tected by a wire netting.
Tony said it was specifically
designed for ibises, lesser flamin
gos, perching ducks and wading
birds. It definitely is for the birds.
Sign in a reducing salon: “Stop,
look — and lessen.”

I Alaska Defense Adequate
But Not Balanced
SEATTLE UP> — Maj. Gen.
Frederick R. Zierath. who has as
sumed command of the Army
Corps at Ft. Lawton, says he
thinks the military defense struc
ture of Alaska is adequate, but
not balanced for the ability to
counterpunch.
Maj. Gen. Zierath, 50, was
Chief of Staff for the Alaska Com
mand Headquarters at Elmendorf
Air Force Base, near Anchorage,
before coming here last week.
“We have to retain our
strength,” he said. “Strength be
gets respect.
“We have never been an ag
gressor or overbearing nation, and
I think the world realizes that
and respects us for it.”
He declined to say whether he
thinks the United States and Rus
sia will eventually go to war.
“However, Em an optimist,” he
said. “Our problems are not mili
tary but socialogical. What we
need is a feeling cf mutual trust
and confidence between our
peoples and our governments.
“One day, the reasonableness
of man will prevail. It may not
be in our time or our children’s
time, but one day.”

Fidel Castro Reported
Personally In Charge
Of Fighting Invaders
HAVANA OP) — Prime Minister
Fidel Castro was reported to be
supervising mopping up opera
tions against anti - government
forces today as plans were made
for big victory celebrations.
The Cuban national radio net
work said the bearded prime min
ister was “engaged in supervising
the final destruction of the crimi
nals” who attempted to over
thrown his regime.
There was nothing here to bear
out Miami reports that Castro had
been “incapacitated” by a bomb
dropped last Monday. His last ap
pearance in Havana was on tele
vision last Sunday. Since then,
according to all reports, he has
been personally directing opera
tions against the invaders.
The Castro regime’s controlled
radio stations gave few details of
the fighting between government
troops and anti-Castro forces in
the invasion battle. Unconfirmed
reports filtering into the capital
said thousands had been killed in
battle in Matanzas province alone.
A broadcaster claimed govern
| ment troops had captured five
Sherman tanks and large quan
tities of American - made arms
from the rebels.

Exercise In Caribbean —
Kennedy Will not Attend
WASHINGTON UP — The Navy
has canceled a scheduled week
end exercise off the Florida coast
after the White House announced
President Kennedy would not at
tend.
Kennedy had planned to watch
the Navy flight and anti-sub
marine exercise from the carriei

and night. This was to have taken
place in the Atlantic several hun
dred miles from Cuba where anti
Castro rebels have launched an
invasion.
The White House news secre
tary, Pierre Salinger, Wednesday
attributed Kennedy’s cancella
; tion only to "the press of business

\ aside questions as to whether the
■ fighting in Cuba had anything to
do with the decision.
