...views on agriculture match Kennedy's: he favors high price supports, fat acreage cuts, and an all-out food-for-peace program. A second possibility for the job-and one eagerly promoted by such farm-state influences as Stuart Symington and Hubert Humphrey -was Missouri Farmer Fred V. Heinkel, 62, who for 20 years has been president of the important Missouri Farmers Association, the biggest statewide farm cooperative in the nation. If Heinkel got the nod, Kennedy planned to make George McGovern chief administrator of the food-for-peace program...
...make tanks, already manufactures Hispano-Suiza armored troop carriers under license. In fact, close to half of Bundeswehr procurement now benefits German firms. Germany's once huge aircraft industry has been pulled together into two big "North" and "South" industrial units, composed of such famous firms as Heinkel, Messerschmitt and Dornier. The government has already awarded them contracts to make 200 F-104s and other foreign planes under license. A Krupp subsidiary, "Weser" Flugzeugbau, has been commissioned to design a medium-range transport. In March, Strauss's Defense Ministry parceled out $520 million in military spending, five times...
Died. Ernst Heinkel, 70. German airplane pioneer, designer (with a propulsion unit developed by Wernher von Braun) of the world's first (in 1939) rocket plane (the He 176) and jet-propelled aircraft (the He 178), a shrewd mastermind of Luftwaffe production whose farseeing predictions and plans were thumbed down by Hitler and Goring; of a cerebral hemorrhage; in Stuttgart, West Germany.

...little war showed signs of spreading last week. The tough, bearded Berbers of the turbulent Ait Ba Amrane had all leaped into the fight. Armed with anything from muzzle-loaders to burp guns, melting away into their scrub-covered crags whenever Spain's pre-World War II Heinkel bombers came over to attack them, they forced the Spanish to evacuate one border outpost after another, until at week's end Spanish troops may have held no more than three of the dozen or so first attacked. One estimate of Spanish dead and missing...
Schoolgirl Heinkel has been performing before audiences since she was three. In home-town St. Louis, where her father sells plumbing fixtures, a TV station manager spotted her playing Shirley Temple in a Christmas pageant, put her on a local kiddie show. She won modeling jobs, as well as roles in 13 St. Louis Municipal Opera productions. Chicago producers spotted her on a local TV show, were so impressed that they gave CBS brass in Manhattan a look at her over a closed-circuit broadcast. CBS whipped up a format, wooed Susan to Chicago's WBBM...
