Senate Preparedness Group Considers
Stripping Joint Chiefs of Commands
By JACK BELL
WASHINGTON, GPV—The Sen
ate Preparedness Subcommittee
has under consideration a series
of proposals that could lead to
legislation shearing the Joint
Chiefs of Staff of their military
commands.
The subcommittee, headed by
Democratic Leader Lyndon John
son of Texas, has heard contra
dictory testimony from military
leaders and scientists about the
amount of service rivalry that
still exists under supposed unifi
cation of the armed forces.
War Crimes Psychiatrist
Takes Own Life With
Poison Goering Took
BERKELEY, Calif., —Dr.'
Douglas McGlashan Kelly, chief
American psychiatrist at the
Nuernberg war criminal trials, is
dead at 45 of the same poison
which killed Nazi Air Marshal
Hermann Goering.
Police said Kelley apparently
was worried over ill health on
Wednesday afternoon when he
swallowed a small souvenir vial
lie had brought back from Nuern
berg. ,
Dr. Kelley built an internation
al reputation as a criminal psy
chologist and has been professor
of criminology at the University
of California since 1949. He had
been under medical treatment for
a severe stomach ailment, police
said.
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
The management of Nomerama
Theater wishes to call attention
to the fact that the name of the
theater was changed some time
ago to "Nomerama Theater." In|
the future they wish all corres
pondence, lulls, remittances, etc.,
to be addressed as above.
But it can be said that most of
the subcommittee members now
are convinced there has been so
much confusion and -bickering
among Army, Navy and Air Force
leaders in the Pentagon that the
nation’s missile and satellite pro
grams have been sriously handi
capped
Following this up in prepara
tion for resumption of hearings
Monday, the subcommittee’s staff
has delved far back into the rec
ords in its effort to determine
where this conflict best can be
dissolved.
While there is no unanimous
opinion, the prevailing impres
si6n among subcommittee mem
bers seems to be it might be best
to start at the top of the military
structure in • any recommended
shakeup. This could take the form
of relieving the Joint Chiefs of
their command duties.
The Joint Chiefs, consisting of
the heads of the three services,
have the dual roll of over-all mil
itary planning and of operating i
the individual services.
This has led to some sugges-1
tions that their loyalty to their
individual services has interfered
with their decisions on over-all
military plans, altho Gen. Nathan
F. Twining, chairman of the joint
chiefs, has denied this.

Nixon Will Have
Fast Jet Transport
For Official
WASHINGTON, (^-Vice Pres-I
ident Nixon will have a record
breaking Air Force jet transport
available for his use on official
trips.
The plane, a modified transport
version of the Boeing KC-135 jet
tanker, is the same craft in which
Air Force Gen. Curtis E. LeMay
set new recrods in November on
flights to and from Buenos Aires.
Nixon will use the four-engine
plane, which travels 600 miles an
hour, as a time saver on his flights
to various parts of the country.
He may also use it if he flies to
Europe later this year as tenta
tively planned.
The vice president heretofore
has done much of his flying by
commercial airline, often on coach
flights. But there have been re
ports that the Secret Police con
tended the vice president needs
greater protection.

Teen-Age Pirates
Board Yacht on
Family Cruise
KEY WEST, Fla., Of)—A Winter
Park family’s holiday cruise was
turned into a 14-hour gunpoint
ordeal when three teen-agers
boarded their yacht like pirates
of old and demanded to be taken
to Mexico.
A note smuggled ashore brought
rescue for Richard Sias, his wife
and four children aged 10 to 15.
Today their brash captors from
San Antonio, Tex., faced court ac
tion by officials who considered
bringing charges of kidnaping and
even the archaic crime of piracy.
The four young pirates are
Mike Moore 17, Tommy Edwards
15, and Johnny Cox 16.
The Sias family were shaken
but physically unharmed in the
nightmarish captivity that began
New Year’s Eve on their sumptu
ous 40-foot power yacht, Fiesta
II, at Craig in the Keys.
Sias said the boys first insisted
they should take off right away
for Mexico and he persuaded
them it would be necessary to
take on more fuel.
While the Fiesta II lay in the
port of Islamorada, one of Sias’
boys, David, 14, slipped ashore
with a note which he handed to
a docker.
Ten minutes after the yacht put
to sea sheriff’s deputies caught up
in a motorboat and arrested the
three Texas teen-agers.
