May Cut Force
Washington, D. C. --The Army
Is expected to bring an armored
cavalry regiment ? about 3,000

Europe before the end of the
year.
This would cut the number of
tank - equipped, fast - moving
United States armored cavalry
regiments in West Germany
from four to three. Their mis
sion is to operate as a screen
along the Iron Curtain, to con
test any Invading Russian force.

On Gromyko
Washington, D. C. ?Senator
Lausche (D., Ohio) crltlclied
President Kennedy's willing
ness to discuss with the Sov
iet Foreign Minister, Andrei
A. Gromyko, the possible re
laxation of East-West tensions.
Lausche said In a prepared
Senate speech that because Gro
myko "deliberately lied" about
the presence of offensive So
viet missiles in Cuba last year,
"I am loathe to believe that
President Kennedy, .could ever
again place any credence In what
Mr. Gromyko might have to
say."
New Postmaster
Washington, D. C.? President
Kennedy nominated John Gro
nouskl, 43, to be postmaster
general.
Gronouskl, a Wisconsin tax
chief termed the appointment
"the greatest honor of my life."
The Post Office Job has been
vacant since J. Edward Day re
signed August 9--the longest
period In United States history
without a Postmaster General.
Peace Corps
Washington, D.C.? President
Kennedy has asked Congress to
appropriate $108,000,000 for an
expanded Peace Corps.
The money would provide
funds to enable the corps to
place some 13,000 volunteers
In training or abroad by Sep
tember, 1984. This will be
a 4,000 Increase over the num
ber expected to be enrolled by
the end of this year.
Struck Twice
Hltchln, England? John Hud
son, 20, just doesn't agree with
the adage that lightning never
strikes twice.
He was recently blown out
of a telephone booth by a bolt.
Five years ago he was struck
while standing on the front lawn
of his home. The last time he
was badly shaken up and had to
spend several days In the hos
pital.
A Big Promise
Southhampton, England ? A
bride-to-be has promlaM to
serve her future husband break
fast In bed every day of his
life.
The parents of 19-year-old
Brian Monney objected to his
marriage because they were
afraid he would not get the
same treatment after marriage
that he was used to. His mother
said she had pampered him all
his life and she was afraid the
?hock would ruin his marriage.
Janet Bull, It, promised to
serve him breakfast in bed
?very day. This seemed to con
vince the parents and they gave
their consent.
