The island na- tion of seven million already has been stripped of many of its ablest citizens. Th result is bound to drive the Cuban economy even lower, to reduce the over-all living standard and depress the cultural level of Cuban life. Castro obviously must have rea- sons for permitting a free wave of emigration. Many of the people who resent his regime are security risks and he may consider him- self well rid of them. Some are economic liabilities, if their fam- ilies already are abroad. And, in any event, Castro is making pro- paganda and can possibly hope to make things awkward for Uncle Sam. However, he also is and has been heavily damaging his nation. A survey by the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare of the Cubans who fled to the United States in the past indicates the list is weighted heavily on the side of skilled persons. The num- ber of unskilled adults fleeing Cuba has been relatively small. For example, available statistics indicate about 2000 physicians have left Cuba since 1961. This represented one-third of all quali- fied Cubans in the ranks of a profession which had been highly regarded before the revolution. As a result, experts report, medi- cal services in Cuba had nowhere to go but downward. Medical technicians and nurses had to be upgraded to take over, and medi- cal services suffered. The Cubans have lost about 200 nurses, 250 dentists, 100 veterinar- ians important to an agrarian economy, 300 pharmacists and 60 optometrists. About 100 of the nation's chem- ists and 400 of its engineers have fled. This is bound to hurt a small nation whose chemists and en- gineers are vitally important to maintaining the sugar industry and other agriculture on which the economy is based. The results' have been visible. The Cubans have lost scores of editors, painters, architects, writ- ers, 1500 lawyers and about 3000 educators. Add to all this the loss to the economy of high-grade people who are political prisoners, and Cuba looks like a nation with bleak future. By Castro's own figures there are 15,000 political prison- ers. U.S. estimates put the figure at 30,000. Whether they are re- leased to emigrate or not, they are and have been inoperative -and therefore must be added to the loss of 180,000 others who fled the country since 1961. Washington now expects pos- sibly 50,000 more Cubans to come to the United States. Some sources estimate that as many as 350,000 Cubans wait hopefully for a chance to leave. If these are people who had the alertness and means to remove members of their family to the United States previously-thus now eligible for the family reunion program-they probably . can be classed among Cuba's higher grade citizens whose skills also would be important to the nation. The heaviest blows to Cuba's economic and cultural life must date from 1961, after Castro clear- ly was turning the nation to Com- munist dictatorship. There had been four distinct stages of exodus and now a fifth is beginning. The first came early' in 1959 when the Castro revolu-I tion took over. Its impact on the country would have been light, since it was made up of a relative-I ly small group identified largely with the fallen regime of Fulgen- cio Batista. A new stage began in the sum- mer of 1959 and lasted about a year. These were from the ranks of the people in the upper classes who still were able to bring much of their wealth with them. The numbers still were relatively small. The third stage was the most important, economically to Cuba. This largest group of all was made up predominantly of middle-class persons. These were trained, edu- cated people who would corre- spond to an upper middle class in the United States. This exodus of people-who left all they owned behind them-was occasioned by events such as the Castro declara- tion of Communist faith and the abortive Bay of Pigs invasion. The exodus continued until the Oc- tober 1962 crisis occasioned by the U.S. showdown with Moscow over the presence of Soviet mis- siles in Cuba. A new stage began in 1963, with small groups fleeing on their own resources. This was made up of all types of persons, but statistics indicate many if not most were from the lower class ranks. The fifth stage, now beginning, is likely to cut into important economic areas of Cuba. The ma- chinery to provide for these people indicates that they can be ac- cepted, at a maximum, at the rate of about 5000 a day. But even while they wait, they are of little use to the Cuban economy. -Associated Press WEARY.

Indonesian Army Drivel Turns Against I Jinese Youths Burn 1.* i rte. ,1 °F yr .4 J 'I a',.tr l 1 / i{ *WE TUST SEEM To BE ?oU1NDMHIS FEET INTO THE 6ORUN>O' U.S. Claims 380 Viet Cong Killed in Past eek's Action Pro-Chinese University Riot Follows Charge That Communists Backed Coup Attempt JAKARTA, Indonesia W) - A mob's destruction of a Jakarta university has pointed up an anti- Chinese turn in the army cam- paign against the Indonesian Communist party, the PKI. About 800 Indonesian youths' burned the two-story school to the ground Thursday amid shouts of: "Down with Communism!" They fought with 60 Red Chi- nese students outside a dormitory. Witnesses said knives and guns flashed and several were injured' on both sides. First It was the first time that the' demonstrators, largely nationalist and Moslem youths who burned the PKI headquarters here last' Friday, had attacked a- Chinese installation. Indonesian troops, who are gen- erally watching such disorders idly, finally intervened. The attack on the university followed publication by Karya Ghakti, one of the Jakarta papers the army allows to operate, of a' charge that the Communist Chinese intelligence agency mas- terminded and supported the at- tempted coup of the "Sept. 30' Movement." Slap It was an indirect blow at Pres- ident Sukarno's policy in recent years of aligning Indonesia more and more with Mao Tze-tung's Pe- king regime in sniping at the West.' The army-controlled Radio Ja- karta announced Sukarno met with his chief aides in continuing efforts to "normalize the situa- tion." One on hand was Third Deputy Premier Chaerul Saleh, who evidently has just returned from a visit to Red China. In a Thursday news conference where he announced the appoint- ment of Maj. Gen. Suharto as the new army commander, Sukarno looked slightly drawn and a little nervous. Officer Suharto is the anti-Communist officer who led the troops that crushed the leftist uprising. He succeeds Maj. Gen. Achmad Yani, one of six generals tortured and slain by the rebels. There were reports Sukarno wanted to name somebody else and the high com- mand turned thumbs down. The official news agency An- tara quoted the president as say- ing he will soon find a political settlement. Give Me Time "Wait and see," he said. "Leave it to me." A high government official has said Sukarno is considering plans to create a new Communist party, not oriented toward Peking, to replace the PKI, long one of his sources of power. Meanwhile On the other hand, leaders of th semiofficial National Front organization have declared any new Red Indonesian party also should be destroyed. Concern at the possibility of further outbreaks remained evi- dent. Church Vote' Lifts Blame From Jews Council Declares End To Age-Old Discord; Rejects Anti-Semitism VATICAN CITY ()-The Vati- can Ecumenical Council accepted Friday an historic declaration aimed at ending 2000 years of dis- cord between Catholic and Jew. It says all Jews cannot be blamedE for Christ's crucifixion. The bishops of Roman Cathol- icism gave 7-1 approval to the document, which also praises the spiritual values of other non-' Christian faiths and rejects all discrimination - especially anti-1 Semitism. By a final vote of 1,763 to 250 the bishops accepted the dec- laration-titled "On the Church's1 Attitude Toward non-Christians" -for promulgation by Pope Paul VI as a Church decree binding on all the world's Roman Catholics. Deletions The secific mention of "deicide" -God killing-was deleted fromS the version given final endorse- ment, and the document speaks out against any description of the Jewish people as "rejected by God or accursed." Probably no document had arounsed so much controversy at the 4-year-old council and an anonymous threat Friday against St. Peter's Basilica added an ele- ment of tension. Never before has any general council in 20 centuries of Cathol- icism taken such positive stands on the Jewish and other non- Christian religions. Doctrine While the document amounts to a restatement of existing church doctrine, it pointedly warns against any conduct that some- times has existed-preaching or cathechism instruction that could twist the gospels into an anti- Semitic interpretation. Historic, too, are its words of respect for the beliefs of Moslems, Hindus, Buddhists and other non- Christians and its reproach of any discrimination because of race, color, condition in life or religion as "foreign to the mind of Christ." The declaration takes passing note of. the Crusades against Is- lam in the Middle Ages by saying that over the centuries "quarrels and hostilities have arisen be- tween Christians and Moslems." It urges that the past be forgotten and that "mutual understanding" move forward. Says Rhodesia Decision Near SALISBURY, Rhodesia - After an informal Cabinet meeting Fri- day night Prime Minister Ian Smith told newsmen a decision on Rhodesia's threatened unilateral declaration of independence was near. Smith said he thought the de- cision would be taken at the next full cabinet meeting, but did not say when this would be. He im- plied it would come before the next regular cabinet meeting Tuesday. Britain has threatened econom- ic sanctions if this white-ruled colony breaks away. The British want the 3.8 million Africans of Rhodesia to get the vote. They are now governed by the 250,000 whites. UNITED NATIONS (R) - The U.S. delegation walked out on Cuban Foreign Minister Raul Roa yesterday to show disdain for a speech in which he denounced U.S. policy in Viet Nam and de- manded independence for Puerto Rico. It was the first time the United States had boycotted a General Assembly speech sources said. U.S. Ambassador Arthur J. Goldberg came back later to de- ride Roa for the flight of Cubans from their native land-including 23,000 who have sought refuge in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Bizarre Ambassador Goldberg said the United States found "unusually bizarre his crocodile tears about the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico." "We do not see any exodus of Puerto Ricans to Cuba," Goldberg observed. "We do see over 270,000 Cubans who have fled to the Unit- ed States and many, many more Cubanstwho are waiting desperate- ly for the chance to leave." Goldberg added that the Puerto Ricans have taken advantage of repeated opportunities for free elections to exercise their right to self-determination. Promise '"By' contrast, despite repeated promises by Fidel Castro, Cuba has yet to have a free election since he came to power," he said. He said that the statement on Viet Nam made by Roa, "sup- ported by a disciplined claque in the gallery, is just about what we would expect from the represen- tative of Cuba, and does not merit a detailed reply." Roa received scattered applause from a small group in the public UNITARIAN STUDENT GROUP WILL BE MEETING SUNDAY, OCT. 17, 7:30 P.M.

Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gro- myko shook Roa's hand as he came to the rostrum. Away Goldberg said the assembly was aware that "fighting continues only because Hanoi will neither halt its aggression, nor agree to negotiate." Roa studded his speech with denunciations of the U.S. inter- vention in the Dominican Re- public, which he said proved to the world the failure of U.S. policy in Latin America. "Asia, Africa and Latin Amer- ica are boiling, and Yankee im- perialism is impotent to stop the people," he said. He supported admission of Com- munist China and the expulsion of the Chinese Nationalists, refer- ring to the latter as "ventrilo- UNITED NATIONS: U.S. Delegation Walks Out as Cuban Attacks Viet Policy quist's dummies of Yankee im- perialism." The 117-nation assembly wound up its general policy debate late Friday after hearing a record 101 speakers. The debate opened on Sept. 23. Roa asserted that U.S. policy in Viet Nam ,has Imitated that of the Nazis, and thatt the only way the United Nations could con- tribute to a peaceful solution was to support the demands of the Viet Coig and Communist North Viet Nam. Walkout U.S. Ambassador Charles W. Yost walked out of the hall as Roa went to the rostrum. The only person remaining at the U.S. dele- gation desk was Mrs. Kirsten 'Paulos, a foreign affairs officer in the permanent U.S mission to the United Nations. She took notes on Roa's speech.
