Explosion Rips Apart Yank Titan

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fila. (AP) A Titan, America’s biggest: mil- itary rocket, exploded into a roar-

ing inferno Saturday as it. lifted off on its most critical test flight.

The 98 - foot intercontinental- range giant barely struggled from its launch pad when it was ripped by an explosion of tons of burning fuel.

When the smoke eleared, the

Titan service tower was a fire blackened mass. None- of the 60 members of the launch crew, in a block house 100 yards away, was hurt. . The blowup was almost ident ical to the last Titan launching Aug. 14. That missile also rose a few feet, then was consumed in a holocaust,

FAULTY RELEASE,

The August explosion was blamed on a faulty release mech- anism. There was no indication of what caused Saturday’s blowup. Both the launches were aimed at igniting the Titan’s second

stage for the first time.

8 New Cardinals

Created

VATICAN CITY (Reuters)— Pope John will create eight new cardinals today, bringing interna- tional representation into the cen- tral government of the Roman Catholic Chusch to the greatest degree in its history.

Seven of the new cardinals will be given curia posts, Vatican sources said Saturday. Curia car- dinals are in effect ministers of the papal government, advising the Pope constantly.

After the secret consistory Mon- day, and the events leading to the final public crowning of the Princes of the church with their red hats Thursday, eight of the 31 curia cardinals will be non- Italian. There were 14 curia car- dinals when Pope Pius XII died

% October, last year, and only two were not Italians. INTERNATIONAL BODY

make the curia more an interna- tional body because of the forth- coming ecumenical council ex- pected in 1963 or 1964.

Domenico Cardinal Tardini, pa- pal secretary of state, has de- scribed the coincil as the first full-scale re - examination of the church’s organization, doctrine and discipline since the 16th cen- tury.

The Pope is believed to hope it will give a great new impulse to Christianity throughout the world and lead to the ‘reunification of all-the Christian churches,

79 CARDINALS

The consistory will raise the over-all number of cardinals in the world to 79, Italy having 31. The English-speaking world wil} have 12 cardinals, including six in the United States and two each in Canada and Britain. \

The pontiff will announce his choices at a secret meeting of the old cardinals Monday mor- ning.

On Wednesday, Pope John will

His audience thronged the Ra- mila Grounds—traditional scene of mass meetings in the city.

Eisenhower told the cheering

crowd, 60 acres of solidly packed humanity stretching” as far as the eye could see: “We believe that freedom ulti- mately will be won everywhere. Human hunger for it is far too deep-seated in human nature to be put off by contrived definition of man-made philosophy.”

SEEKS CLOSER TIES

He called for closer ties be- tween the United States and In- dia, declaring:

“Between the first largest de- mocracy on Earth, India, and the second largest, America, lie 10,- 000 miles of land and ocean. “But in our fundamental ideas and convictions about democracy we are close neighbors. We ought to be closer.

‘We who are free and who

‘prize our freedom above all other

gifts of god and nature must know each other better, trust each other more, support each other more.”’

After his speech, Eisenhower and Nehru met for a last talk over the dinner table, then issued

satisfaction at U.S.-Indian rela- tions.

This said Nehru reviewed Asia problems for Eisenhower. The communique did not mention Red China’s pressure at the Indian border, but James Hagerty, Eisenhower’s press _ secretary, said the matter of Communist China was discussed.

Ch‘town Ship Is Christened

SOREL, Que. (CP)—Mrs. Paul Comtois, wife of Canada’s mines minister, Saturday christened the icebreaker and supply ship Tup- per, sending the traditional bottle of champagne crashing against the hull of the transport depart- ment vessel.

In a brief speech her husband described the 1,890-ton Tupper— to be based at Charlottetown—as a worthy addition to the federal fleet and one that could serve in many ways.

The vessel was designed for icebreaking operations in shallow waters and harbors, search and rescue work and buoy and tender- placing service.

Jane’s predicted -the nuclear- powered sub may soon become the capital ship around which the navies of the future will be built.

The United States, Jane’s re- ported, plans to have 75 atomic subs by 1967 and about 40 of these will be armed with ballistic missiles. 5

Jane’s said Russia’s 500 subma- rines represent a formidable threat to the allied control of the seas.

It said it was. not surprising that the United States and Brit- ain reduced their. cruiser Bests in the last year.

“But it did come as a ssieiectinn when, during his recent visit to the United States, Mr. Khrush- chev said... that Russia was to scrap 90 per cent of her cruis- ers.”

CRUISER STRENGTH |

Jane’s gave Soviet crufser strength as 32 vessels, more than half built within the last few years.

“As Russia, no doubt with due deliberation and a fixed policy in mind, embarked on such a gigan- tic program only a few years ago, there would appear to be at least some good reasons for consider- ing that such comparatively new and sizable vessels still retain a fair . potential for active_service, both in actual hostilities and in a cold war.”

Life On Mars Is Seen Likely

LONDON (AP) — Soviet scien- tists have produced new data in- dicating there may be life on Mars, Moscow Radio reported Sunday.

“Physical conditions on this planet closely approximate those necessary for life,” said a broad- east report of research carried out at Pulkovo Observatory. “The new data now becoming available is gradually forcing the opponents of the theory of life on Mars to withdraw.”

CAPITAL EXPENSES

By ALAAN DONNELLY Canadian Press Staff Writer OTTAWA (CP) — A proposal

which could shake one of two pil- lars of Canadian income tax law has been put forward by a man who helped draft the law.

Kenneth Eaton, former assist- ant deputy finance minister and

:|now a private tax consultant, la--

bels as “utterly fantastic?’ the principle stated in the law that capital expenses cannot be de- ducted from the taxable income of a business.

His proposal: Rewrite the law to recognize the general principle —with some exceptions — ‘‘that all expenditures in business, both current and capital, are incurred for the purpose of producing prof- its and should be allowed as a deduction in computing profits.”

IN TAX JOURNAL

The thesis of the 65-year-old tax expert is published in the current edition of Canadian Tax Journal, magazine of the Cana- dian Tax Foundation, a private organization.

Mr. Eaton éonceded, at once, that there are two major excep- tions in the law which “remove by far the greater part of the dis- ermination which would other- wise exist.” These permit dedtic- tion of annual depreciation charges for plant, machinery and equipment, and of interest cost of borrowed money.

But he said there are many other capital costs which are dis- allowed.

Years ago when the tax rate was very low, unfairness in the = structure could be shrugged off,

Great Britain and the United States, and their clear intention is to isolate North America from Western Europe in the event- of war."

Jane’s listed the major strength of the world’s three leading naval powers as follows:

Britain — Carriers (light and heavy) nine, battleships one, cruisers 13, destroyers and fri- gates 157, submarines 56.

Soviet Union—Carriers and bat- tleships none, cruisers 32, de- stroyers and frigates 480 (estima- ted), submarines 500 estimated), nuclear submarines (under con- struction) three.

United States — Carriers (all types) 79, battleships and battle cruisers 12, cruise 51, de- stroyers and frigates , subma- rines 186, nuclear submarines 10.
