The Russian started to per­spire. "Now, let me get this straight You're betting six an-tis and seven missiles against my four antis and five mis­siles?"

"That's correct," Smith said. "What if I told you we had

"According to my calculations you left out one anti-, so if you fired the missile you would knock down your own weapons instead of ours."

The Russian said, "It's im­possible. I gave you nine antis and 10 missiles."

"I counted," Smith said. "You only had eight antis. Why don't you try it again?"

"No! Not again," the Rus­sian cried. "I'm sure our coun­tries could work out some other solution."

Education center plan has vision, foresight

Inside Washington

Reds boost missiles to Viets ^

By ROBERT S. ALLBtand PAUL SCOTT

Plattsburgh State's challenging of­fer of a demonstration center for con­tinuing education for the Elizabeth-town area is the opportunity of a life­time •

It gives that community the chance to have what could be the most sign­ificant educational advance ever in Essex County.

The primary function of the center, os explained by Dr. George Angell, PSUC president who unveiled the plan a few days agor is to provide contin­uing education—the necessary updat­ing of education in law, medicine, education, engineering, and other fields. Yet the scope actually goes far beyond this for the center could offer courses in almost anything where com­munity interest warranted.

It's program would have such flex­ibility that a non-college graduate could learn while working to support himself and his family. The full range of subjects would be tailored to fit the needs and desires of everyone from the graduate student to the housewife, from courses with college credit to vocational classes.

lb* center, using the most advan­ced teaching methods, would use video-tapes, educational television, computeNprogt-ornmed teaming and otfcer Innovations to that a student could advance through a course ot rws opn apeea.

The coet to the Elizobethtown oreo apparently would be slight, only the I d * of the taxable land chosen for Jhe.-Stak

Yet its benefits seem incalculable. It offers the community an education­al complex whieh would permit area residents t6 continue their education throughout their lives, keeping up-to-date with the latest knowledge and trends in their professional fields.

The Elizabethtown area is a natural choice for the location mokes it easy to reach from Clinton and Essex coun­ties and even more distant places.

The knowledge explosion today makes a center to meet the changing demands of the times an imperative need for the area. The college grad­uate of just a few years ago finds it almost impossible to keep up with­out adequate facilities available. This center would make the latest advances and techniques available to profes­sionals and others in the area.

Dr. Angell has asked that the Eliza­bethtown area determine the degree of support for the idea which he and Dr. Nicholas Troisi, director of con­tinuing education of the college, have developed. He wants to know that the proposal has wide-spread support be­fore he approaches State University with it.

Details of the plan remain to be worked out.

But this bold, imaginative idea for a %tep into the future is one of the most challenging offered to the area. It's a new approach to a long-time problem that deserves the whole­hearted support of everyone.

WASHINGTON — Russia is putting more new missiles into North Vietnam.

In addition to numerous ground-to-air SA-2 missiles for use against U.S. planes, the So­viet is now delivering ground-to-sea coastal defense missiles, an dspeedy patrol boats arm­ed with guided missiles.

U.S. reconnaissance planes have photographed the unload­ing of an estimated 50 coastal defense missiles in the past five weeks from Russian freighters at Haiphong, chief North Viet­nam port.

One of the Soviet vessels was the SIMFEROPOL, a wide-hatch ship that carried missiles to Cuba prior to the 1962 crisis.

• • • The "cruise-type" coastal de­

fense missiles, with an estimat­ed range of 30-40 nautical miles, have a warhead capable of sinking warships of any size

with a direct hit. ^ , While none of these missiles

is known to be operational as yet, the indication is t h a t launching sites for them will be ready by the end of Jan­uary.

Radar installations for guid­ing the missiles are under con­struction in several coastal ar­eas. The building of similar sites in Cuba preceded by about four weeks the actual deploy­ment of these coastal defense missiles.

The Soviet missile build - up Is the reason behind the recent unannounced change in U.S. policy under which warships were barred from bombarding shore targets in North Vietnam unless first fired on.

At the urgent request of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, President Johnson lifted this restriction. Now U.S. destroyers can shell these missile radar instalia-

For example, n September the Food and Drug Adm&btr*-buied from interstate com* iDerce in electrical device for

''magic" pills which are magic only if we alter our diets too.

What are the facts? To put them bluntly:

TTiere is no such thing as "effortless1' reducing. Loss of pounds is directly dependent on using up more calories by exer­cise than you consume in food and drink.

Calories DO count. For any major weight • reduction pro­gram, you should enlist the help ot a physician.

Weight reduction gimmicks such as vibrating machines, plastic or rubber clothes and phonograph records won't work — if you don't also follow the usual roles of diet restrictions and exercise.

Uons in an effort to keep them from becoming operational.

In one attack, the USS JOHN CRAIG a*d the USS HAMMER fired more than 2.000 5 - inch shells -at such sites. Since then, there has been no more work on these installations.

• • • KEEPING GUARD UP - In

patroling the Tonkin Gulf, U.S. warships also are keeping a close watch for Russian - built KOMAR patrol boars.

Several of these fast torpedo boats, with modified hulls to carry two missile launchers, were spotted in Haiphong har­bor. After sailing from t h i s sanctuary, the boats disappear­ed and haven't been seen since.

While missiles on the KO-MARs have only a line-of-sight range of 10-15 nautical miles, this distance can be tripled if overhead planes are used to guide them.

Intelligence authorities be­lieve the arrival of the new coastal defense missiles is link­ed to the shipment of 100 MIG-21s to North Vietnam.

• « •

Once pilots are trained and available for these late-model jet fighters, U.S. officials an­ticipate they will be used by North Vietnam to safeguard its armed patrol boats.

To counter this, the Air Force and Navy are seeking Presi­dent Johnson's authorization to bomb the five airfields on which the MIGs are based and a number of the '•cruise-type" missiles are known to be stored.

On two of these fields near Hanoi, the MIGs have b e e n photographed lined up in the open almost wing to wing, easy targets for attack.

So far, White House policy has barred air strikes against these North Vietnam bases.

• • • RED "VOLUNTEERS" -

More than 2,000 additional Rus­sian military technicians and advisers have arrived in North Vietnam in the past two months to work on the con­struction of the new missile and radar sites.

This brings to around 10,000 the number of Soviet military personal in North Vietnam. In addition. L\S. authorities have reliable information that 55,000 Chinese military construction troops, 500 North Korean air­men and maintenance person­nel, and 2,006 military techni­cians from other Iron Curtain countries and Cuba also are

SIGNIFICANT STAND -House Republican leaders have decided to support the growing move to bar Representative Clayton Powell, D-N.Y., chair­man of the Labor & Education Committee, from taking h i s seat in the new Congress.

This unannounced decision was disclosed by House Lead­er Gerald Ford, Mich., in a phone conversation with Speak­er John McCormack, D-Mass. The latter and Ford discussed organizational matters of the 90th Congress when it convenes January 10. In the course of their talk, McCormack asked Ford: "What position does the Republican leadership plan to take on seating Powell? Have you made any decision?"

1 We have no choice," replied Ford. "Powell is in contempt of court and can't even return to the district he is supposed to represent. Until he purges himself of contempt he should be barred."

When McCormack said noth­ing about what the Democratic leadership planned to do, Ford inquired: "What are y o u r plans?"

4There,s been no decision," replied McCormack. "We have­n't had a chance to discuss it. That is one reason I wanted your opinion so I could pass it on to the otters."

• • •

"There will be an overwhelm­ing Republican vote against seating Powell," added Ford. "Our members report t h e i r mail is running heavy against him. They say his antics and activities are the most discuss­ed news in their districts."
