THE ASSOCIATED PRESS By -ALVIN SPIVAR WASHINGTON (UPI) White House Press Secretary Pierre Salinger fired back at the news critics Friday by accusing certain editors of publishing untrue or slanted stones that amounted to management in its purest He said that by and large the news being managed fairly by the news But he said there had been many recent lapses ranging from the Billie Sol Estes

press Salinger a former night city editor of the San Francisco Chronicle replied to a group of publishers editors and broadcasters who charged before a House committee Tuesday that the administration lied to the press during the Cuban crisis At a panel discussion on conducted by the House Government Information subcommittee the news executives denounced any use of news as weapon of propaganda warfare" Sylvester Main Target The main target of that criticism was Arthur Sylvester assistant secretary of defense for public affairs Sylvester was among head-table guests during speech and the White House press aide expressed in ability to handle his job In rebuttal to the Tuesday Maine Today was a very difficult Salinger replied was taken because we felt that the only chance for real success was to keep the Russians guessing on how we would react should they attempt to run the blockade We bad to keep the element of Salinger cited the following examples of what he considered to be untrue news stores or unfair display of dispatches: Devotes More Space heavier devotion of space in one unidentified eastern daily newspaper to the Billie Sol Estes case involving actions by Democratic officials than was devoted to the mineral stockpiling actions of a Republican administration case of great newspaper wljich printed and completely stories that Russian planes had overflown the southeastern United States Salinger said he offered to have any top government official including President Ken nedy call the editor and tell him the facts if the editor would admit his newspapers were wrong He said the editor never an-wered the proposal manner in which a Midwestern newspaper and national magazine conducted a public opinion poll Salinger said the questions were so phrased that the administration had to come out loser The press secretary said there is only legitimate place where news can be that is at the desks of our city editors and managing editors and at the desk of our radio and television station news directors" Those who view the phenomenon in its totality are not likely soon to forget it The earth will darken until the light is only about half of that during a full moon If you look around in the heavens you will see the stars And then after this awesome interlude it will be light again The DED pamphlet warns those who will view the eclipse in any of its phases not to do so through a telescope field glasses or even little opera glasses or serious damage to the eyes may occur The time-honored way is to look through heavily smoked glass or heavily exposed film suggested the booklet says to buy a pair of cheap Polaroid glasses break the frame in two and look through both lenses superimposed By turning one with respect to the other the density may be varied to give ther best results" Anyway it promises to be a great show and' hope we have a good day SERVING MAINE The vice president presented the first detailed comparison a high

we have seen only a partial one and even though the approach to totality may be close it the same thing by far For example just about anywhere in Maine you will be able to see 98 per cent of the light cut off but even so it will be only a according to Merriam compared with what those within the path will see The coming eclipse will enter Maine about a quarter to six on the afternoon of July 20

Board (CAB) said Friday that birds are a major air safety problem The possibility of modern airliners being wrecked by birds hitting them in flight was called a threat and the CAB said it is necessary to develop new protective measures The concern was expressed in a report on an accident involving a United Air lines Viscount which crashed near El-licott City Md last Nov 23 kjll-ing all 13 passengers and four crew members The CAB said the tragedy was caused by a large whistling swan striking the horizontal (tail) stabilizer which weakened the elevator and rendered the plane uncontrollable Unofficially the CAB already had reached this verdict But its report on the accident said bird strikes once regarded as a minor nuisance now must be considered a major menace It pointed out that changes in aircraft design have made tail sections in particular more vulnerable to potentially disastrous damage from bird impact The CAB said that on its rec ommendation the Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) is conducting a series of tests on bird collision damage The FAA the report added also exploring all aspects of the overall problem from both the engineering and opera tional point of view" In less technical language this meant the FAA is looking into ways of strengthening tail sections without affecting flight a goal which could involve considerable engineering problems

where the rare spectacle which will travel in a diagonal northwest to southeast direction in a comparatively narrow band may be reached easily The Maine Department of Economic Development which views the coming phenomenon as a tremendous boost for next Summer's vacation travel trade has alerted the communities that lie within its path to be prepared for something of an invasion predicting that at least 100000 from outside the state and an equal number from places in Maine outside the area of totality will be on hand One thing is certain and that is for a day at least Maine will capture headlines all across the nation- From past experiences say that the number of those who will cover the event for the newspapers television radio magazines and for scientific institutions will run well into the thousands This alone will bring considerable business to the state In order that all who wish so may be fully prepared for the event DED has prepared an excellent comprehensive although economical pamphlet that was prepared by Carroll Merriam of Prospect Harbor In collaboration with Maine college science professors In case you want a little early information here's the path the eclipse will take It will enter Maine with its central line about twelve miles south of Jackman The band will be about 55 miles wide at that point thus Jackman is well within it Progressing southeasterly its central line before passing out to where it will be 53 miles wide will be at Bar Harbor If you want to get this path more firmly fixed in your mind just get out a Maine map and draw a line reaching from about twelve miles south of Jackman to Bar Harbor Now draw two other lines each about 27 miles parallel to either side of this central line and have the band The pamphlet prepared by Mr Merriam and his colleagues contains a great deal of interesting material much of which will come asasurprisejomanytof us Many of us seem to think that an eclipse of the sun is rather ordinary but the chances of one striking any part of the surface will compete in the District Demonstration tonight in the Ellsworth Methodist Church at 7:30 Plans were discussed for the International Festival
