Senators from both parties attack de Gaulle remarks
United States senators from both parties criticized Alain Peyrefitte after his remarks questioning Kennedy pledge to defend Western Europe.

Senator Javits backed Mansfield, stating Republicans and Democrats alike support Kennedy’s defense of Europe and the alliance. Humphrey urged a retract, while State Department officials reiterated the president’s clear stance on the matter.

Weston Hospital Chief Is Appointed
Dr. Alexander H Baranski of Mount Vernon Alabama has been named superintendent of Weston State Hospital replacing Dr. Neil M McFadyen who will assume a Veterans Administration post in Clarksburg. Baranski, a native of Poland naturalized in 1957, comes from Search Hospital Mount Vernon. A separate petition to free Ernest Stevenson of Huntington from prison was filed with the State Supreme Court after Stevenson was condemned to die for the fatal stabbing of Louise Davis at the Huntington fish market on February 5 1960 and appeals to state and U S Supreme Courts were denied. Attorney Tom Baker seeks habeas corpus relief contending improper custody of Stevenson during trial and illegal evidence. Gay Barron indicates a commission on the status of women may be created to expand women’s role in government programs following talks with Mrs Thelma Hall Madison associate chair of the State Democratic Executive Committee.

Three East German Guards Flee At Curtain Border

A recon car crossed a meadow by the Werra River, smashed three barbed wire barriers, and reached the border village Heringen where nearby factory workers greeted them. A second guard, 20, defected at the same place during the night after six months in the army. Officials cited increasing pressure and coercion of conscience as his motive.
