$70 MILLION AGREEMENT:

The Red China-Cuba pact is the second such agreement with
Communist countries.

HAVANA OAP --Cuba and Red China appeared near agreement
yesterday on terms of a trade pact binding this island's economy more
firmly to the Communist bloc.
Moscow Radio was quoted by a Tokyo news agency as saying
Prime Minister Fidel Castro's government willsoon sign a $70 million
agreement to supply Communist China with sugar, nickel, and copper
in exchange for industrial products, agricultural machinery, textiles
and rice.

day from his flirtation with the

He said he wants to be friends
with everybody.
Lumumba abandoned his threat
to call in Russian soldiers to force
out Belgian troops. He told a news
conference in this UN-guarded
capital there is no longer any need
for Soviet military intervention.
UN Secretary General Dag Ham-
marskjold said in New York that
he would delay his plans to fly to
the troubled Congo to have talks
on the situation 'with Lumumba
this weekend.
The lanky, 34-year-old Congo-

ago was calling Western nations

to the United Nations, signed one
agreement with an American
financier for development of min-
eral and power resources of the
former colony Belgium freed June

Credits Belgians
At the same time, Lumumba held
out a hand to the Belgians.
He gave the Belgians credit for
helping to build the Congo and
said he considers them "ou'r
friends."
He insisted only that Belgian
troops evacuate the Congo, includ-
ing the treaty bases of Kamina
and Kitona, and that the Belgian
Ambassador Baron Jean Van Den-
bosche leave the country immedi-
ately. Lumumba said the ambassa-
dor, because of the reports he sent
back to Brussels. and Gen. Emile
Janssens, former commander of
the Congolese army, were the two
Belgians who damaged the Congo
most.
"We have political independence
and now we need economic inde--
pendence," Lumumba said. We
need bread and happiness for our
people.
No Charity
"We want the assistance of all
the world, but we do not want
charity. We offer, to all those who
want to help us exploit the coun-
try, equitable remuneration en
their investment and all necessary
guarantees."
He expressed profound thanks
to the United Nations for its quick
action in the Congo, although the
Security Council set no deadline
in renewing Thursday night Its
call for the withdrawal of Belgian
troops. He had been threatein
to call in the Russians and soldiers
of the African-Asian bloc nations
if the Belgian units did not leave
immediately.

ask for a "two billion dollar sup-

Congress reconvenes Aug. 8, then
asked Harriman whether he and
Kennedy had discussed anything
along that line.
"Yes, but you'll have to get that
from him," Harriman replied.
"I think it is one of the answers
to Khrushchev, who is insulting us
at every turn as a result of the
present administration's weak-
ness," he added.
"The appropriation would be for
specific things that need to be
done," Harriman said.
Harriman said President Dwight
D. Eisenhower now is taking a
firm stand on foreign policy, but
he said "he waited until we were

Measurements Explained

By ANDREW HAWLEY
As man has moved farther out into the universe in his study of
it, he has had to discard the old methods of measuring distances and
develop new ones, as Prof. Kenneth M. Yoss, visiting lecturer from
the astronomy department of Mt. Holyoke College, explained last
night.
Prof. Yoss spoke at the visitor's night offered once a week during
the summer session by the astronomy department in Angell Hall.
"Two people standing on widely separate points on the earth
simultaneously observing the moon or the sun can theoretically
figure its distance from the difference between its apparent directions
from them," he said. "But the stars other than the sun are too far
away for the corresponding difference to be significant."
"However, using the diameter of the earth's ellipse, rather than
that of the earth itself, as a base line, we can calculate distances as
far as 25 trillion miles away."
Beyond that distance most indirect methods of measurement
must he emnnvr

Amory's departure carries in-
ternational implications because
it is known that Selwyn Lloyd,
who has been foreign secretary
since 1955, has been asked by
Macmillan to take over control of
the treasury,
Eyes Top Post
The ambitious Lloyd evidently
feels a term in charge of the na-
tion's finances will do no 'harm to
his chances ultimately of becom-
ing prime minister.
Latest candidate mentioned for
the Job of foreign secretary is the
Earl of Home, a cousin of Eden
and now commonwealth relations
secretary.
Macmillan must be well aware,
however, that such an appoint-
ment would raise a parliamentary
storm becase, as a peer, Lord.
Home could not answer for Brit-
ish foreign policy in the House of
Commons.
