a far more sweeping program of

NEW YORK-The New York

Parallel Terms
Subject to completion of Argen-
tine accords for $135 million with
European creditors, the United
States Export-Import Bank will,
on parallel terms, refinance up to
$92 million in Argentine debtL to
the bank and other United States
creditors. The United States Agen-
cy for International Development
will provide $20 million in fresh
money.
The agreements were extended
to cover the final months of the
term of Argentine President Jose
Maria Guido which ends next Oct.
12. He has promised to turn over
power then to the winners of an
election scheduled for June 27.
Faces Difficulties
However, Guido's Argentine re-
gime is confronted by many prob-
lems. Guido has called on Argen-
tina's political leaders to forget
their disputes and unite behind a
grand agreement to save the crisis-
ridden nation from chaos.
To most observers Argentina's
problems are political, although
they have had a decisive impact on
its economy.
The United States aid package
for Brazil stirred controversy here
because it came at a time when
an international Communist con-
gress was making plans to meet in
Brazil.

HAVANA (A') - Cuban Prime
Minister Fidel Castro threatened
yesterday to arm Cuba with long-
range bombers to counteract dare-
devil raids by Cuban exiles.
He blamed the United States for
an exile attack which crippled a
Russian freighter Tuesday night.
"If these attacks continue, Cuba
will see herself in a situation of
considering acquisition of long-
range bombers as well as naval
equipment fiecessary to escort our
merchant ships, protect our supply
lines and repel aggressors," Castro
o said in a communique.
nts Repeats Charges
Castro repeated his charges that
counterrevolutionaries are using
bases on American soil from which
to launch their raids. He called a
" State Department statement dis-

a smokescreen.
The threat of acquiring long-
Y range bombers obviously harked
back to the 750-mile-range jet

To Contest
Hoffa Rule
PHILADELPHIA (o')-- A rebel '
group in the Teamsters Union got
a second chance yesterday to take
key over-the-road drivers away
from James R. Hoffa's Interna-
tional Teamsters and into the
APL-CIO.
The National Labor Relations
Board ruled violence and threats
by Hoffa's union improperly in-
fluenced a bargaining election last
November. It directed that some
8,200 members of four teamster lo-
cals vote again on whether they
want to stick with Hoffa, join the
rebel "Voice" group, or belong to
no union at all.
Involved in the current intra-
union test of strength are mem-
bers of Local 107-fourth largest
in the teamsters hierarchy-470,
212 and 331. Their members are
employed by some 300 trucking
firms in eastern Pennsylvania,

Guzowski Asks Boards
To Show Anti-Red Films
By ROBERT SELWA
While the superintendent of Hamtramck schools expressed un-
concern about two films dealing with Communism and alleged Commu-
nist activity on college campuses, Rep. Richard Guzowski (D-Detroit)
said yesterday that he is seeking wider circulation of the films.
Superintendent Dale T. Musselman said that the films were
shown at special assemblies of study halls of Hamtramck High
School "but we have no plans to __
show them elsewhere" in Ham-
tramck.
Guzowski said that he has been
talking with school board members
of other East Detroit communi-
ties, asking them to have the films
WASHINGTON (MP-An appar-
ent disagreement within the Navy
over who could build the best TFX
warplane came to light yesterday
as inquiries broadened into the
$6.5-billion controversy.
There were these developments:
1) The Senate investigations
subcommittee released testimony
by Rear Adm. Frederick L. Ash-
worth saying award of the initial
$28-million development contract
to General Dynamics Corp. of Forti
Worth, Tex., would not producef
the best plane.1
2) The Pentagon made public af

hitherto secret memo by Navy
Capt. John T. Sheppard giving a
slight edge to General Dynamics
over the Boeing Co. of Seattle,
Wash., but saying there was no
clear-cut Navy choice between the
competing designs.
Defends Action
3) Secretary of Defense Robert
S. McNamara, who overruled a
final military recommendation!
favoring the Boeing design and
awarded the development contract
to General Dynamics, went before
another congressional group to de-
fend his action at a public hear-
ing. He appeared before a defense
procurement committee of the
Senate-House Economic Commit-
tee.
4) The Senate investigations
subcommittee, which heard Mc-
Namara last week, pressed ahead
with its closed inquiry. Members
Ssaid the Pentagon will be asked to
explain a document saying "there
are politicaldangers" involved in
the TFX contract award "but they
should be accepted."
Favoritism Shown
The subcommittee says it is
seeking to determine whether any
favoritism was shown in award-
ing the contract. The project calls
for the eventual purchase of about
1700 of the new all-purpose TFX
-tactical fighter, experimental-
planes for use by both the Air
Force and the Navy.
McNamart. repeated before the
Senate-House economic group his
contention that the General Dy-
namics design will save the tax-
payers "at least a billion dollars
in development, production and
operating costs over the life cycle
of the aircraft."

'Voice' Group
A group known as the Voice of
the Teamsters Democratic Orga-
nizing Committee lost the Novem-
ber election by 596 votes-3,870 to
3,274. This is the result the NLRB
has set aside.
The NLRB directed that the new
election be held on a date to be
selected by Bennet F. Schauffler,
head of the Philadelphia region.
Schauffler last Jan. 24 recom-
mended voiding the November bal-
loting because of "numerous in-
stances of violence committed
against adherents and leaders of
the Voice.
Charles Meyers, chairman of the
Voice, hailed the NLRB decision.
He said his group can win "in an
election with no violence or team-
ster brutality." He wants to take
the unit back into the AFL-CIO.
