MASSOCK, Associated Press Staff Writer GEORGETOWN, British Guiana-It is a hot little country where the ~570,000 people are black, brown, yellow and white. Most of them live and work in a 500-mile coastal strip. On one side is the blue Atlantic, on the other tropical jungles apd rain forest rarely penetrated by civilzed man except to search for gold and dianmonds., This is a country which, some think, promises to become a Cuba- like republic, providing a wedge for Communism to enter South America. The key figure is Prime Minister Cheddi Jagan, a dentist PRIME MINISTER JAGAN ... Marxism? Britain Tie To 'Aid Unity BRUSSELS O)-The Common Market's offer to renew contacts with Britain should get the Euro- pean unity movement moving again. It does not mean that Britain will be invited to join in the fore- seeable future. French President Charles de Gaulle made that plain when he blackballed Britain last January. But it is designed to make sure that policies, will be easier to bring, together if and when the time comes. That might be in 1965, if de Gaulle takes advantage of the French election in that year to retire, or it might be in 1966, when the Common Market rules provide that France can be out- voted by the other five members -West Germany, Italy, Belgium,, The Netherlands and Luxembourg.' Periodic Meetings The offer, approved Thursday by the foreign ministers of the six Common Market countries at one, of their periodic meetings here, provides for meetings every three months within the framework of the Western European union. The floor would be open to all kinds of 'economic discussion. The British would have prefer- red more frequent meetings, and within the Common Market frame- work. But the agreement to make the offer may be more important than the offer itself for what it means to the unity of the countries in the the Common Market. The "friend- ly five" - members who- wanted Britain to join-have been frus- trated France at every turn, bringing the movement toward internal unity almost to a halt. Three Main: Fields Now there are three main fields in which the six members may start strengthening their ties again. 1) By advancing their commop farm policy toward a reform of the markets for meat, dairy products and rice. The French have been particularly eager for this. Pres- ent plans call for working out the rules by the end of this year and putting them into effect by April 1, 1964. 2) By unifying their position for the big "Kennedy round" of tar- iff-cutting negotiations due to " turned politician. Debate. about the future revolves around this self-styled Marxist. The politics of the situation is further embit- tered by racial differences. Self-Government. This was an early. Dutch colony which the British took over in 1796. Last year British Guiana re- ceived internal self-government, with defense and foreign affairs, remaining in British hands. Full, independence was to follow, but now it appears several years away. The sugar-cane workers and rice growers are largely people whose grandfathers came from India as indentured laborers. These East Indians make up half the population, and they follow Jagan. They vote for him not be- cause they understand Marxism, nor because they are poorer than the rest-the annual per capita income of Guianese was $250 in 1960, against an average of $210 in Latin America. They vote for Jagan because his grandfather, too, was an illit- erate laborer from India. The East Indians live in little wooden houses, work hard in the canefields, grow a plot of rice, own a cow, and save their money. ' More Children They also produce children fast- er than the Negroes. A third or more of the Guianese are descendants of A f r I c a n slaves. When the slaves were freed in 1834, many bought land and formed villages. Today East Indians run most of the former Negro villages. The Negroes pre- fer white collar jobs. They prefer to live in Georgetown, with its neat, white - painted w o o d e n houses built on concrete pillars seven feet above the moist earth. They. predominate among the Portuguese, other Europeans and Chinese, as well as Indian mer- chants, in the capital's 160,000 in- habitants. In all but politics these people live together peaceably, a Negro and an East Indian of George- town's middle class agreed. In politics they line up behind Jagan and Forbes Burnham. Burnham, a 38-year-91d lawyer with a London education, helped Jagan form his people's progres- sive party but later took his Negro followers into the rival people's national congress. Racial tension grew from this bit'ter split over leadership. Gaping spaces in the business hearts of Georgetown, where whole blocks of stores were burned to the ground, remain as scars of wild rioting a year ago. Six persons were killed before Jagan called British troops to re- store order, and save his govern- ment from overthrow. leged that the Cubans have been using the British-owned Carib- bean island as a transfer point for potential subversive agents traveling from Cuba to other Car- ibbean countries. No response has been received from the British to American urg- ings that Cuban airline flights to Grand Cayman be barred, Phillips said. The State Department spokes- man gave this account: "A Cubana aircraft arrived at Grand Cayman and some passen- gers transferred to British West Indies Airways Flight 405 for Kingston, Jamaica. About 40 Cay- manians assembled to demon- strate, parking cars on the runway and making other moves to pre- vent the departure of the BWIA aircraft. Plane Departs "After an hour or so a BWIA official agreed to remove three of the Cubana passengers from Flight 405, presumably requiring them to return to Cuba. This hav- ing been done, the crowd permit- ted the BWIA flight to depart." Phillips identified one of the three persons taken off the King- ston-bound plane as Iris Herrera, wife of the Cuban counsul in Kingston. He said he did not know who the other two were. Phillips said the United States had no representative on the scene nor were United States funds used to pay the demonstrators. Cuban Version In other points of variance, the Cuban version was that the inci- dent took place Wednesday, and that instead of only three being turned back only three-including the consul's wife-were allowed to fly on. Later dispatches from Jamaica indicated there actually were two incidents-one Wednesday and one Thursday. Concerning the Toronto-Havana flights, State Department authori- ties said World Wide Airways, Inc., a Canadian company, has been making occasional charter flights between the two points. The Cuban government is presumably doing the chartering. Freight Carrying The flights were described as basically freight - carrying, al- though a limited number of Cub- an government officials and air- line employes ride as passengers from time to time. The State Department authori- ties said Canadian officials give close scrutiny to the passenger lists and they have no reason to believe subversive agents are among them. It was indicated, nonetheless, that the United States government would like to see the flights dis- continued in line with United States efforts to isolate Cuba. Meanwhile, the flights have been getting official United States per- mission to cross over American ter- ritory, it was stated. United States authorities said the aircraft are the International Civil Aviation Agreement to which the United States, Canada and Cuba are all parties. Rush Assures.

Senate Continues Probe On TFX Contract Award WASHINGTON )-Tempers are flaring again-this time over a performance chart-as the Senate investigations subcommittee presses ahead with its probe of the TFX warplane contract. The latest angry exchanges hits Secretary of the Navy Fred Korth against Chairman John L. McClellan (D-Ark) and the senior Republican member of the panel, Sen. Karl E. Mundt of South Dakota. Korth spent his fourth day on the witness stand yesterday as the subcommittee probed the Pentagon's award of the TFX contract o the team of General Dynamics Corp. of Fort Worth, Tex., and Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corp. of New York. The senators want to know why Korth and other civilian defense chiefs over- rode military evaluations that a design offered by the Boeing Co. .of Seattle, Wash., promised a bet- New Ecuador Leaders NEUTRAL: Bloc Asks UN Meeting UNITED NATIONS-A formal request was made yesterday for "urgent" meetings of the Secur- ity Council to consider the prob- lems of racism in South Africa and colonialism in Portugal's Afri- can territories. The request was submitted by 32 African countries-all the conti- nent's independent governments, except South Africa. These Afri- cans regard the policies of South Africa and Portugal as a threat to international peace and security. Ahmed-Taibi Benhima of Mor- occo. president of the Security Council this month, is expected to suggest that the 11-nation Council convene late next week or early the following week. The opening session is not expected before next Thursday. African representatives contin- ued consultations until late in the day to determine. the details of their erquest for Security Council sessions. They submitted two let- ter and a memorandum on their complaints against South Africa and Portugal. Current plans call for several African foreign ministers to pre- sent the complaints to the Coun- cil. The Africans hope to impose economic sanctions on South Af- rica and Portugal or even to expel the two countries from the Unit- ed Nations. The United Nations Charter au- thorizes the General Assembly to expel members, but only if this is recommended by the Security Council. The Africans are not ex- pected to obtain the seven votes required in the Council to approve such action. African spokesmen at recent conferences of United Nations agencies have been pressing de- mands for vigorous action against South Africa and Portugal. The Africans have employed walkouts to support their arguments against the two countries. The United States has voiced its strong opposition to racism and colonialism, but has questioned the wisdom and legality of impos- ing stringent sanctions on South Africa and Portugal. It has also cited the dangers of expelling a member of the United Nations. Copyright, 1963, The New York Times 'Pledge to Crack Down On C ommunist Groups KARL E. MUNDT . angry exchange ter and cheaper plane. Challenges Chart McClellan challenged a chart which Korth used to support his contention that the General Dy- namics-Grumman design is su- perior "The way you are present- ing it, you are distorting the per- formance of the Boeing plane, based on the record," the Senator said. "Mr. chairman, I deny that we are distorting it," Korth retorted. Continuing the exchange, a cen- sored transcript of which was made public yesterday, McClellan argued that the chart failed to reflect last-minute optional de- sign changes the Boeing Co. had offered to make: He said the changes would have wiped out a claimed 320-mile-an-hour speed margin for the General Dynamics- Grumman plane and would have given the Boeing craft greater maneuverability at high altitudes. Earlier Designs Korth replied that the contrac- tors knew only the earlier designs would be evaluated and that tech- nical teams never had evaluated a report spelling out the changes. "You can talk about 'it has not been evaluated' from now until doomsday," McClellan said, add- ing: "it was your duty to evaluate (it) if you had in mind the best interests of the Navy, the coun- try and to get the best plane." Reason for Favoring In another attack on the Penta-' gon decision, Mundt told Korth he could not understand why the contract went to General Dynam- ics-Grumman "unless there is some reason that you want to favor General Dynamics." Mundt said he suspected the civilian secretaries read the mili- tary evaluation report to the point where it said either design would be acceptable and quit reading, before the point wherehthe mili- tary evaluators said the Boeing design had a "clear and sub- stantial" advantage. f Korth replied with a defense ofa the Pentagon's decision. He re- turns to the witness stand Mon- day for a fifth day of questioning. UN Observers Find No Proof Of Gas Attack UNITED NATIONS W) - The UN observation group has sent in] a preliminary report stating that it has found no evidence so far that poison gas has been used in the Yemen Civil War. A UN spokesman said today a further report is expected after the UN mission completes its in- quiry. UN Secretary-General U Thant ordered the investigation after the British government call- ed his attention to published re- ports that some civilians had been victims of poison gas allegedly7 used by the United Arab Republic.] The deposed Imam of Yemen claims that six children died and 22 adults were injured after Egyp- tian aircraft dropped poison gas on Yemen last May. Thayer Sees Increase in Tax Base Speaking before the annual meeting of the Ann Arbor Republi- can Committee, Sen. Stanley G. Thayer (R-Ann Arbor) called for rearrangement of Michigan's tax structure to increase its tax base. This, he said, could provide more revenue. The object of tax revision, he stated, is to stimulate the growth of a dynamic economy, one that can provide sufficient revenue to meet the needs of Michigan's growing population. . Face Tax Thayer, Republican State Sen- ate caucus leader, expressed the opinion that it appears Michigan will ultimately face a state in-- come tax. He said that since an- other major tax base is needed, the income tax seems the most likely available one. He said that the Michigan sales tax has gone about as far as it can, and perhaps it has gone too far in some areas. He also cited need for some relief in property taxes. The pressure for revision of property taxes is less than last year's, he said however, despite public sentiment increasing in- terest in fiscal reform, an upswing in Michigan's economic trends and reductions in its deficit. State Conferences Thayer noted that conferences are being held around the state to explain the problems involved in this. It is important that the public be informed, he said, in order to accomplish significant re- vision. One problem, he noted, is that improved medical care is extending the life-expectancies.of people who sometimes become state charges. Broad Base He said the problem is one more of rearranging the structure to produce a broader base than to increase taxes, he said. Now, he said, the structure is not flexible enough and is often a burden on marginal and new businesses, therefore inhibiting the incentive to expand. Also, at the meeting at the Pub- lic Library, Raymond J. Smit was re-elected Republican Committee chairman. Smit was first elected last December to fill the unexpir- ed term of Norman J. Randall who had resigned. Smit and the other officers elected Thursday night will serve one-year terms. Other officers elected were: Louis Dreyner, vice-chairman; Mrs. Paul Gikas, vice-chairman; Mrs. Wendell Forsythe, secretary; and third ward city councilman Paul H. Johnson, treasurer. PRESIDENT AROSEMENA . .. ousted ROMNEY: State Head Sees Hope Gov., George Romney believes that there is -great hope for tax reform this fall. However, his first meeting with legislators showed no clear cut path and "differences with respect to- the degree of tax reform needed." This meeting was held Tuesday and Wednesday at Mackinac Is- land with 14 Republican senators. In the coming weeks, Romney will meet with other House members and in August he will meet with prominent tax committee mem- bers. The governor said that he will meet with the Democrats "later." Hint Romney said that he will reach a decision in August on the method he will use in approach- ing the legislature in the fall. He will then put his staff to work on the legislative message while he visits his son, Scott, in Mngland, the last two weeks of the month., "I still haven't decided whether to make proposals complete in legislative detail or whether to -set up goals and leave details to the legislature," the governor said. While Romney said he is not trying to achieve "a consensus of opinion" with legislators now, he noted that 'he will try to do so in early September before the special session gets under way. Income Tax Most reliable sources believe that Romney's program will in- clude an income tax. However, there is difference of opinion as to whether he will ask for a state income tax or a local option one. Some sources believe that he might ask for both. Junta Sets Martial Law, Key Appointments Begin New Cabinet QUITO (P)-The military junta that ousted Ecuador's President Carlos Arosemena, calling him a drunk who symphathized with Communism, pledged today to crack down on pro-Castro Com- munist terrorist bands plaguing Ecuador. Martial law and a 9 p.m.-to-6 a.m. curfew were proclaimed by the junta, headed by Navy Capt. Rainon Castro Jijon. Strict cen- sorship was imposed. Creation of a cabinet was begun with the appointment of colonels to three key ministries. Castro Jijon said civilians may be given the other posts. New Posts Col. Luis Agustin Mora Bowen became Interior Minister and, as such, is in command of the na- tional police. Col. Aurelio Naranjo was named Defense Minister. The Public Works Portfolio went to Col. Segundo Morocho. Under Mora Bowen's command, police quickly rounded up an un- announced number of Communists and other leftists for questioning. Among those detained was Os- waldo Guayasamin, 43, a painter of Indian birth. The capital was quiet after the brief uprising Thursday which unseated both Arosemena, 44, and the man who ordinarily would have succeded him, Vice-President Reinaldo Varea Donoso. Three Killed 4t wyas announced three persons were killed and 17 injured in the shooting affray outside the Presi- dential palace when troops and tanks moved in to back up the military demand that Arosemena, quit. Two of the dead were sol- diers, the third a civilian. Arosemena was exiled to Pan- Varea was , under arrest and awaiting deportation. Fruitless Effort As chairman of the Senate, he had made a fruitless effort to summon Congress to challenge the armed forces coup. Top officers had little liking for the Vice-President even be- fore that. Last year the Chamber of Deputies charged that, as a cabinet minister in a previous ad- ministration, Varea showed neg- ligence and ineptitude in the pur- chase of armored cars. The senate found him innocent. But that did not put the cars in shape. The army complained it was stuck with vehicles that couldn't be used. Jijon said in a statement that the junta is anti-Communist and democratic. He declared it plans to return the country to con- stitutional government after con- solidating its position and clearing out pro-Castro bands that have been increasingly active in the past two weeks. Army Uneasy The junta chieftain indicated that the Army and Navy brass had been increasingly uneasy over Arosemena's inability to function against terrorists who have troub- led Ecudador's major cities with bombings and vandalism. Delta College To Remove Cigaret Units By The Associated Press MIDLAND-Delta College voted to remove all cigaret vending machines from the campus Thurs- day. Delta President Samuel B.
