WASHINGTON (R) - A State
Departmentspokesman endorsed
yesterday the view that North
Vietnam could continue to supply
normal munitions and fighting
men to Communist forces in,
South Vietnam without affecting
negotiations after a cessation of
U.S. bombing attacks.
State Department officials deny
that this view, first expressed by
Secretary of Defense-designate
Clark Clifford, represents any
new concession by President John-
son. They contend it is simply a
spelling out of the formula John-
son expressed in a San Antonio
speech last September.
Appearing before the Senate
Armed Services Committee last
week, Clifford indicated that the
United States has not insisted
that North Vietnam cut off its
troops fighting in South iVetnam.
'"I assume that they will con-
tinue to transport the normal
amount of goods, munitions, men,
to South iVetnam," Clifford said.
"I assume that we will continue
to maintain our forces and sup-
port our forces during the bomb-
ing halt, but there was no gen-
eral ceasefire.",
Press.Officer Robert J. Mc-
Closkey said yesterday that what
Clifford said "is certainly con-
sistent with the San Antonio
formula."

Court Rule
Against Tax
On Ga-mblers
WASHINGTON ({P)- T h e
Supreme Court yesterday upset
the government's system of flush-
ing out gamblers for prosecution
by requiring them to register and
to pay special taxes.
If the gamblers obey these laws,
Justice John M. Harlan said in
a 7-1 decision, they provide evi-
dence that could lead to their own
prosecution under separate state
and federal anti-gambling laws.
Thus, in view of the Fifth
Amendment guarantee against
self incrimination, Harlan went
on, a gambler cannot be punished
for refusing on constitutional
grounds to register or to pay the
special taxes.
The various registration and
tax regulations have been a signi-
ficant source of income for the
federal government.
At the end of his decision, Har-
lan said the court is not prevent-
ing Congress from regulating or
taxing illegal activities. But the
methods, he said, must be "entire-
ly consistent with constitutional
limitations."
In two other significant rulings
the court threw out Chicago's
movie censorship law and cut into
the power of state prosecutors to
shield the identity of police in-
formants at trial.
"To forbid this rudimentary in-
quiry . . . is effectively to emas-
culate the right of cross-examina-
tion itself," wrote Justice Potter
Stewart.

WASHINGTON (A)--While some
Congress members showed grow-
ing impatience. the White House
pressed ahead yesterday with
backstage diplomatic efforts to re-
solve the USS Pueblo crisis.
Presidential p r e s s secretary
George Christian said a number
of diplomatic cannels are active,
but at the same time he said the

dent, orderly, and limited deploy.

Castro Institutes Party Purge
As Soviet-Cuban Ties Worsen

Associated Press News Analysis
Fidel Castro, reacting to chal-
lenges within his Communist par-
ty by instituting a broad purge,
seems bent on turning his island
into a little China within the Red
world, at the risk of severely
straining already aggravated re-
lations with the Soviet Union.

World News Roundup

By The Associated Press
BEERSHEBA, Israel - Mrs.
David Ben Gurion, wife of Israel's
first prime minister, died yester-
day following a brain hemhorrage.
She was 76.
Mrs. Ben Gurion collapsed Sun-
day at her home in a Negev Desert
kibbutz. Ben Gurion, 82, accom-
panied her to a Beersheba hospital
where she died.
She was born Pola Munwess in
Minsk, Russia, and married the
Zionist leader in New York in
1917. She was a student in Brook-
lyn when she met Ben Gurion.
Mrs. Ben Gurian was at her hus-
band's side during his long polit-

ical career and accompanied him
on almost all his trips abroad.

TEL AVIV, Israel-The army re-
ported yesterday it has smashed
an Arab sabotage organization in
Gaza City following a swoop in
which security troops arrested 71
Arabs and seized large arms
caches.
The whole organization, includ-
ing its commanders, was netted in
coordinated night raids around the
troublesome town four days ago,
an army spokesman said. The raid
on the group, identified as El Ko-
mion Arab-The Arab Nationalists
-followed several weeks of terror-
ist activity in the Gaza strip.

The announcement of a trial
for nine 'old' Communists, mean-
ing those following Moscow's line,
is likely to be received with anger
in the Kremlin, whose economic
and military aid support the Cas-
tro regime.
Castro evidently feels he can
play with this political dynamite
on the assumption that Moscow
has no option except to continue
supporting his regime as the only
island of communism in the
Western Hemisphere.
Cuba depends upon the Soviet
Union and Communist nations as
markets for agricultural products
an'd as sources of military aid.
There is no precise figure on
what aid to Cuba costs the Rus-
sians, but it. must be well in ex-
cess of $1 million a day.
For years Moscow has displayed
irritation at the state of the Cu-
ban economy, the way economic
aid was used, and the effects of
Castro's expensive adventures in
subversion abroad.
Moscow has been advising
Cuba's Communists to "build so-
cialism" first before going all out
to export revolution. But like
China's Communists, Castro es-
r

poused constant armed struggle as
communism's only future.
Chief purge trial defendant will
be Anibal Escalante, who was
secretary general of the Integrat-
ed Revolutionary Organizations
(ORD - in the early days of the
regime. He clashed with Castro
as early as 1961. Now he may face
the death penalty.I
Castro cracked down on "old"
Communists in March 1962. He
dissolved ORI and set up the
United Cuban Revolutionary par-
ty with himself as its chief.1 He
banished Escalante, who went to
Czechoslovakia and then Poland
and Russia.
Escalante did not return until
1965, by which time there was a
deep rift in Castro's party.
Last month he openly paraded
his defiance of the Kremlin, re-
marking acidly that Marxism
"should conduct itself like a revo-
lutionary force and not like a
pseudo-revolutionary church."
"We hope," he added, "that our
saying these things will not bring
our excommunication nor, , of
course, bring the Holy Inquisition
down on us."

The Council was called intoI

President Ponders
Christian said President John-'
son spent much of the weekend1
conferring on the problem posed;
by North Korea's seizure a week
ago of the electronic intelligence
ship Pueblo and its crew of 83
Americans.
Amid the welter of suggestions
on how to deal with the situation,J
the administration appears de-
termined to press every effort for
a peaceful way out, while still
making a few preliminary mili-
tary preparations.
In Congress, Senate Republican
Leader Everett M. Dirksen of Illi-
nois said "I don't disdain diplo-
matic efforts, but I want to be
sure that North Korea does not
get the idea they can get away
with this."
Dirksen Diplomacy
Declaring "We've been treated
to a king-sized dose of caution
from some quarters," Dirksen said:
the issue is simple: "A U.S:.vessel,
its skipper and crew have been hi-
jacked on the high seas and im-
prisoned in an enemy land."
"Let's not be impatient, they
say," Dirksen said. "Don't be rash.
Enlist the offices of the United
Nations. Enlist the cooperation of
the Soviet Union."
Dirksen said he doesn't want
anyone to get the idea that "we're
1 going to take this lying down."

Selective Service Act by conspiring
to counsel young men to avoid the

Outside. 200 persons, young
bearded men, long haired girls,

wasnup time
Under the Defiance pact, work-
ers will get three minutes of paid
washup time before lunch periods,
three minutes less than they had
been demanding.
No details of the Saginaw set-
tlement were immediately avail-
able, but it was believed to con-
tain similar language. Washup
time was the key issue at all
three foundries.
Negotiators were scheduled to
resume talks at 1 p.m. yesterday
in the Tonawanda strike, which
began 10 days ago and has idled
2,300 workers since Jan..19.
The settlements at the Saginaw
and Defiance foundries, which
produce cast metal parts, primar-
ily engine castings, affected pro-
duction for all lines of the com-
pany's cars, a spokesman said.
