PAGE THREE x I Algeria Claims France Explodes Atom Device Under Desert Province Korean Leader Agrees To Wait on Referendum SEOUL (M)-Korean Gen. Chung Hee Park hedged yesterday under pressure from civilian political opponents-and evidently from the United States-on his plan for an April referendum to prolong mili- tary rule. The junta chief said he is withdrawing the proposal for 12 days, that is until March 31. But Park's official spokesman announced con- ditions that irked his Korean critics:. 1) The ban imposed last Saturday on South Korean political ac- tivity will continue. 2) The junta will consider giving up power only if "corrupt politicians" agree not to run for office in the next election. Two participants in a tense, two- hour conference with Park-for- mer President Yun Po-Sun and former Premier Lee Bum-Suk-de- lared they will continue their at- .:: tempts to force a full and imme- diate reversal of his attempt to retain power. ECONOMIC MEASURES: Presidents Plan Cuban Policy -----,:, COMMUNISM CHARGE: U.S. Moves To Temper Brazilian Controversy WASHINGTON (P)-The United States sought yesterday to calm the storm it stirred in Brazil last week with a statement charging Communists have infiltrated the Brazilian government. The State Department tempered the United States stand, saying it was not timed to affect current Brazilian negotiations for United States aid, nor intended to suggest Communists "have a substantial influence on Brazilian government policy." Acting Secretary of State George; W. Ball said the reference to Communist infiltration had been' "torn out of context and misinter- 4preted" to suggest the Communist influence charge. That was "un- fortunate," he said. Asks 'Collaboration' Ball's statement, read to news- men by press officer Lincoln White, appealed for continued "constructive collaboration" and "strong and solid cooperation" be- tween the United States and Bra- zil. It deplored "minor and unwar- ranted misunderstandings," which seem to stem from one or more blunderings by the State Depart- ment itself in trying to deal with the situation last week. Though it tempered the charge of Communists in government, the State Department did not apolo- gize and did not withdraw the statement. But its tone was con- ciliatory and there appears little doubt that Brazilian Finance Min- ister Francisco Santiago Dantas will obtain substantial United States financial help. Goulart Upset The statement yesterday follow- ed weekend reports that Brazilian President Joao Goulartwas angri- ly upset over the United States government's assertion. This rais- ed a question whether United States Ambassador Lincoln Gor- don, here for Dantas' financial talks, would be able to return to his post in Brazil. At Rio de Janeiro, aides indi- cated that Goulart was satisfied with yesterday's statement. Protest Test As Attacking Sovereignty Syria, Morocco Join In Condemnations ALGIERS (R) - The Algerian government said yesterday that France touched off an under- ground atomic explosion in the Sahara Monday and called the test "a direct attack on the independ- ence and sovereignty of Algeria." There was no official French confirmation or denial that anoth- er test had been conducted, but preparations for one had been widely rumored in Paris for days. French Information Minister Alain Peyrefitte, without confirm- ing a blast, said that France has every right to test atomically in the Sahara bases she retained for five years under the Algerian in- depender - agreement. Syria and Morocco joined Al- geria in protests. The Algerian Na- tional Assembly was5 called into special session Wednesday to con- sider decisions taken by the cab- inet of Premier Ahmed Ben Bella. The nature of the decisions was not disclosed, but Algeria has threatened to break off coopera- tion agreements with France if the test was made. Each of four preceding French atomic tests in the Sahara touch- ed off a series of protests from African nations. Some countries, including Nigeria, broke diplomat- ic relations with France for a time after a 1961 blast. In Geneva, the Canadian and Indian delegates to the 17-nation disarmament conference said if the report of a new test is true it would hamper attempts to reach an agreement on a nuclear test ban.

GEN. CHUNG HEE PARK ... withdraws proposal EXILE RAIDS: Hit Attacks By Groups WASHINGTON (R)-The Unit- ed States said yesterday it strong- ly opposes hit-and-run raids on Cuba by refugee groups. It called them irresponsible and ineffective in ridding the island of Fidel Castro's Communist re- gime. In a firmly worded statement, the State Department said it is investigating whether there was any violation of United States laws in a reported attack by Cuban exile commandos on a Russian camp and ship in Northern Cuba Sunday. United States laws prohibit pri- vate armed forays from United States territory against a foreign nation. The Justice Department said it also is investigating wheth- er the reported attack involves any violation of the neutrality act or other laws. Anti - Castro Cuban refugee sources in Miami reported Monday night that two groups known as Alpha 66 and the Second National Front of Escambray Joined forces and shelled both a Soviet military camp and one of its ships near Sabua La Grande in Las Villas province. The sources claimed some Rus- sians were killed. Havana radio reported later that some wounded sailors had been taken to a hospi- tal, but the broadcast did not men- tion their nationality or anything about a raid. "Any conditional proposal is not acceptable," Yun declared. They were among five leading civilian politicians who called on the General to demand an end to military rule and restoration of the plan for general elections that Park once promised would be held this spring. A leading official of the recently formed Civil Rule party, which wants Yun back as chief executive, declared "we will employ what- ever means there are" to end the administration of this nation of 25 million by the armed forces. The civilians' dissatisfaction did not escape the military. When Yun arrived home from Park's office he found waiting the same police who had cordoned off his house earlier in the day, plac- ing him under virtual house ar- rest. But the police had taken down red cord across two approaches to the house and an "off limit" sign.! They were pursuing a kid glove policy. The United States, which has! pumped $3.5 billion into South Ko- rea since World War II, kept a close watch on the developments. United States Ambassador Sam-I uel Berger had what he called "a general discussion of the situa- tion" with Premier Kim Hyun- Chul shortly before Park met thej politicians. American economic aid being negotiated for 1963 amounts to about $191 million. SAN JOSE, Costa Rica R) - President John F. Kennedy and the chief executives of six Central American nations reached an! agreement yesterday on what to do about Cuba. The Central American presidents also called a meeting of their interior ministers next month to "put into immediate effect com- mon measures" to halt the flow of 'Send A laska WASHINGTON (M)-Alaska's air defenses have been stiffened with new faster-than-sound nuclear- tipped missiles mounted on Air Force interceptor planes that guard the huge, sparsely populat- ed state. This was disclosed yesterday after penetration by two Soviet reconnaissance planes over a cor- ner of Alaska last Thursday night raised alarm concerning the vul- nerability of the new state, lying close to Siberia. Alaskan members of Congress and Gov. William Egan have de- manded federal action to give the state better protection. "The air defense of Alaska is adequate," the Defense Depart- ment told the Associated Press. "We are continually improving our radar and updating aircraft with improved air-to-air missiles and improved radar." It was learned that the air-to- air missiles are advanced models of the Falcon. The Falcon is a slim, 7-foot- long rocket that can be guided to its target by radar. It carries a nuclear warhead. "This latest Falcon fills a vital need in the air defense command for a nuclear defense weapon giv- ing safe and effective protection against fast-closing, head-on at- tacks by enemy supersonic bomb- ers," says an official Defense De- partment publication on United States missiles.

In a 2000-word "Declaration of Central America," President Ken- nedy and the chiefs of state of Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Guatemala and Hon- duras declared "their conviction that Cuba soon will join the fam- ily of free nations." Most of the Declaration was de- voted to plans for economic devel- opment of the Central American nations. But it was emphasized that the economic and social pro- grams' success depended on meas- ures to contain subversion from Cuba., "In order to carry out their programs for social and economic betterment," it said, "it is essen- tial to reinforce the measures to meet subversive aggression orig- inating in focal points of Commu- nist agitation which Soviet im- perialism may maintain in Cuba or in any other place in America." The presidents said the interior ministers meeting would be held early in April to "put into imme- diate effect common measures to 11 ,...I restrict the movement of their nationals to and from Cuba and the flow of material propaganda and funds from that country." Informed sources said the meet- ing may be held in Managua, Nic- aragua. While the presidents were de- bating on Cuba, their foreign min- isters approved the draft of a statement on an economic inte- gration program for the six-nation group that lies between Colombia and Mexico. The six were reported to have pressed for a larger aid program than that which had been pre- pared for the conference by their economic ministers and United States aid officials. The Central American economic ministers estimated at a meeting last month in Tegucigalpa, capital of Honduras, that they need $200 million for economic and social development.

HAVANA-The newspaper Rev- olution said yesterday President John F. Kennedy's speech at the San Jose Conference Monday "confirms intentions of aggression against the people of Cuba." WASHINGTON-News industry leaders told Congress yesterday the Kennedy administration has lied to Americans in times of cold war crisis. They said this undermined the people's faith in what the gov- ernment says and demanded a guarantee that it won't happen again.

Foreign Secretary Lord Home flea arrival statement singled out France a bers of NATO. But the French- appeared cool. Lord Home came specifically for a meeting today of, the NATO Council. His mission appeared mainly to smooth away differences within the alliance. De Gaulle, in blackballing Brit- ain from the trade bloc, also has shown a determination to end the long United States domination of NATO. "I have come to discuss with our friends and allies in the NATO council, in which France is one of the most valued members, a possi- ble nuclear deterrent for the alli- ance," Lord Home told newsmen. The British foreign secretary said he understood there is some desire within NATO for more em- phasis on the European role in the alliance. Lord Home said he would make concrete proposals today that would contribute to that concept. He said they would concern a NATO nuclear deterrent which could be developed at the NATO foreign ministers' meeting in Ot- tawa in May.
