1 Surge of Volunteers
Follow JFK's Call to
Build U. S. Armed Forces
WASHINGTON OP — A sus
tained surge of volunteers has
followed President Kennedy’s call
for a buildup of U. S. armed
forces and the announcement of
higher draft calls.
Defense Department sources
said yesterday a sampling enlist
ment trends in widely scattered
areas showed there has been no
letup in the increased rate that
followed the President’s speech
two weeks ago.
Major emphasis is on the Army
which is authorized to add about
133,000 men to build up to over
1 million men.
The Defense Department and
Army now are completing de
tailed plans for adding manpower,
training men and converting three
divisions to combat outfits. Then
they will be added to the 14 com
bat divisions now in the Army.
The threat of the draft is spur
ring voluntary recruiting for all
services. Only the Army uses the
draft. President Kennedy, in his
July 25 nationwide address, said
draft calls might be doubled or
tripled. Subsequently, the quota
for August, which had been set
at 8,000 was boosted to 13,0o0.
Annoucement of the September
quota is expected within a few
days. Secretary of Defense Mc
Namara has said it will h* at least
20,000.
NOISY EVIDENCE . . .
FRANKLIN SQUARE, N. Y. (/Pi
; — Bill Hunting’s car has a noisy
, muffler, and when he comes to
’ call just about everybody knows
! its.
That’s a handy thing for a
handyman — which Bill is. But
. it’s mighty embarrassing for a
! burglar — which police say Bill
also is.
One of four victims whose
homes were burglarized Sunday
listened to the burglar’s car pull
ing away, picked up the phone
and told police: “Bill the handy
man was here and robbed us.”
Police picked up Bill and
charged him with burglary.
"God Be With You" . . .
JOLIET, 111. OP — Mary Shep
ley won $2,000 at a Knights of
Columbus lottery drawing Mon
day on a ticket she did not pur
chase.
Mrs. Shepley has been giving
Jennie Bertino of Joliet, free au
tomobile rides downtown. In ap
preciation Mrs. Bertino sent Mrs.
Shipley a lottery ticket with a
note reading, “God be with you.”
Cosmonaut Titov
Savs He’s Ready
For Another Flight
MOSCOW (£•) — Maj. Gherman
Titov said yesterday his space
ship survived 17 orbits of the
earth as well as he did and every
thing is “fine and in working
order — ready for another flight.”
The Soviet Union’s second Cos
monaut was interviewed by cor
respondents of Pravda, the Com
munist party paper, at the undis
closed landing area as Moscow
prepared a hero’s welcome for
him.
The newsmen described Titov
as in execellent health and having
an “almost bronze-colored face, as
if tanned by outer space.
Although Titov said he en
countered no trouble aboard the
spaceship for more than 24 hours
— “conditions of weightlessness
are good for working” — he did
confess to one difficulty: He was
homesick for solid ground.
“I knew that there was some
thing in the nature of homesick
ness called nostaliga, but I found
there is also a homesickness for
the earth. I don’t know what it
should be called but it does exist,”
Titov said.
“There is nothing more splen
did in the world than Mother
Earth on which one can stand,
work and breathe the wind of
the steppes.
“I saw the fantastic sun and
stars, the extraordinary, unearth
ly colors. The cosmos awaits its
own painters and poets, and of
course, scientists.”
Titov also came up with ex
pected praise for Premier Khrush
chev. The Cosmonaut said a multi
orbit flight could have been ac
complished before now, but
Khrushchev “insisted that the de
signers should reduce the risk
to a minimum not only to life, but
to the health of the Cosmonaut
who would spend such a long time
in outer space.”

Born Minutes Apart
. . . They are Not Twins
CLEVELAND, Ohio UP> — The
odds on Mrs. Leonard Shaffer
giving birth to two children not
twins — at the same time — were
anywhere from 608,503 to a mil
lion or more to one — depending
on whose statistics you use.
Last Saturday Mrs. Shaffer
gave birth to a boy and a girl,
two minutes apart. They are not j
twins.
The pediatrician said the babies
were conceived at different times
and were not from the same egg.
Her doctor said the case was
rarer than the birth of quadrup
lets. According to the World Book
Encyclopedia one theory says
quads are born once in 608,503
births. Another theory says they
are born less than once in a mil
lion births.
The girl, Michelle Lynne, was
an eight-month baby and her
brother, Michael Lee, was a nine
month term baby.
Somewhere the earth is always
in storm. An average of a hundred
lightning bolts flash every min
ute of the day.
