United States jets from Key West (A) reached the scene later. Cuban forces claimed the jets attacked a freighter at Isabela de Sagua (B). DEFENSE POLICY: Soviets Denounce West A Alliance Conference GENEVA W-)-In a slashing attack on United States defense policy, the Soviet Union charged yesterday that "the button which can trigger nuclear war has now become a point of attraction to more eager fingers." Soviet delegate Semyon K. Tsarapkin referred to West Germany in a speech to the 17-nation conference denouncing the Atlantic Alliance plan for a multinational nuclear defense force. "If the West v Colonel Doubts' TFX Contract WASHINGTON (MP)-Senate in- vestigators released yesterday tes- timony of an Air Force colonel casting fresh doubt on the Defense Department's TFX warplane con- tract award. At the same time, they made public new claims by a civilian official further supporting the decision. The censored transcript of tes- timony taken secretly Thursday from Col. John L. Gregory showed the officer repudiated statements he had signed which tended to support the department decision turning the $6.5-billion job toward General Dynamics Corp. of Fort Worth, Tex. Gregory told the Senate inves- tigations subcommittee that he did an "improvident" thing in signing statements which constituted a partial withdrawal of his earlier endorsement of the designs sub- mitted by a rival bidder, the Boe- ing Co. of Seattle, Wash. He fav- ored Boeing while working on an evaluation team. The subcommitte for more than a month has been trying to de- termine whether either favoritism or poor judgment figured in award of the initial, $28-million contract by Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara. German followers of Hitler obtain these arms and unleash war, they: will not live one day," Tsarapkin declared. "Everything will be re- duced to ashes by thermonuclear explosions. Tsarapkin ignored a proposal made earlier in the session by United States Anibassador Charles C. Stelle that a permanent com- munications line be set up between the United States and the Soviet Union to avoid the risk of war by accident. Instead, Tsarapkin turned his wrath on what he called United States war preparations, declaring they were at "such a pace that the danger of nuclear is sharpened daily." The Soviet delegate noted acidly that the NATO project for a fleet of surface ships armed with nu- clear weapons was suggested by Kai-Uwe Von Hassel, the West German defense minister. He said NATO was trying to find the best way to let West Germany have access to nuclear weapons. He declared the Soviet Union could find little reassuring in the proposed liquidation of United. States missile bases in Britain, Italy and Turkey "because these bases are to be replaced by large bomber planes." The United States nuclear sub- marines, armed with deadly pol- aris missiles, will begin patroling the Mediterranean next month. U.S. To Get Explanation, Of.Incident Martin Condemns Raids by Expatriates WASHINGTON (-The latest Cuban crisis, which had seemed to be building up to a possible new Soviet-United States confronta- tion, cooled off yesterday. The drop in the tension meter came after Cuban Prime Minister Fidel Cas- tro's government said its Russian- built MIG's "probably fired in er- ror" on the American cargo ship Floridian Thursday. Castro has promised to deliver an explanation to the United States on the strafing by his jets of an American cargo ship, in- formed sources said last night. They said Castro had contacted the Swiss Embassy, which repre- sents American interests in Ha- vana. The embassy declined com- ment. Hit-and-Run Raids Assistant Secretary of State Ed- win M. Martin said last night hit- and-run raids might well influ- ence the Russians to drag their feet on withdrawing troops from the island. In a Mutual Radio interview, Martin, who handles Latin Ameri- can affairs, re-emphasized the United States government's disap- proval of the free-lance forays on Soviet ships. Martin said United States in- vestigations have not yet uncov- ered where the raids originated. Refugee Assaults As for the effect of the refugee assaults, Martin said. that if they have any influence on the Krem- lin "it might well have a negative influence on the withdrawal" of Russian soldiers. The Soviets still have an estimated 13,000 to 14,- 000 military personnel in Cuba. The raids have brought Ameri- can-Soviet relations to the point where Moscow formally demanded yesterday that Washington foot the damages for a strike by exile commandos that crippled the Rus- sian freighter Baku in the north Cuban port of Caibarien Tuesday. Raids Irresponsible President John F. Kennedy - whose administration has disavow- ed such raids as irresponsible, de- plorable and likely to do more harm than good-met for an hour yesterday with a blue ribbon panel of his National Security Council. It was believed Cuba was discussed extensively but there was no im- mediate announcement. The Castro government's swift and pacific explanation for the passes at the motor ship Floridian came as a surprise, since Castro is more known for bellicose state- ments. The fast vessel, en route from Puerto Rico to Miami with a piggy-back load of food-carrying refrigerator trucks, was about 20 miles off the north Cuban coast and about 200 miles from Key West, when two dark-green MIG's swooped down. In apparently care- fully contrived near misses, the warplanes sprayed cannon shot close to the bow and stern of the Floridian. New Development Meanwhile, guerrillas are in action against Prime Minister Fi- del Castro's forces in all six prov- inces of Cuba, a refugee who ar- rived yesterday from Havana re- ported. The informant was one of 96 persons, including some Ameri- cans, who returned aboard a plane that had flown prisoner ransom cargo-to Havana. He said the heav- lest fighting was in Las Villas and Matanzas Provinces. These re- gions, in the middle of Cuba, in- clude the Escambray Mountains, traditionally the site of guerrilla activities. To increase U.S. Power WASHINGTON (,-) - Secretaryc of Defense Robert S. McNamarat has told Congress the adminis- tration plans to triple the nation's nuclear quick-strike arsenal, stif- fen other defenses and keep call-t ing the Communists' bluff on dis- armament. He said major slashes in thee administration's $53.7-billion de- fense budget would jeopardize na- tional security. Devastating Retaliation t He sees the United States head-s ing into an era in which its nu-t clear might and that of the So-e viet Union will mean neither East nor West could launch an attack without suffering devastating re-I taliation.t "Our objective is defeat of thet Communists," McNamara said. "I do not believe we can achieve that victory by engaging in a strategict nuclear war." McNamara spent six days tell- ing the House Subcommittee ont Defense Appropriations about pro- grams and policies while explain- ing the defense budget for fiscal year 1964. A censored transcriptl of his testimony between Feb. 6c and 13 was released yesterday. < Personal Views1 "My personal views are that I do not anticipate any substantial progress in the field of disarma- ment until such time as certaina of the major issues which lie be-I tween our nation and the Commu-I nist bloc are resolved," McNamaraI told the subcommittee. He added: "It is inconceivable to me that our armed forces would be reduc- ed substantially in the near fu- ture, and I know of no plan in the near future to reduce the control of the United States over its arm- ed forces in any way whatsoever." He said United States forces for limitedhwar have been increased across the board. "I am completely at a loss to understand how, in the face of these facts, anyone could accuse this government of unilateral dis- armament," McNamara said. He said Communist cries for complete disarmament are noth- ing but propaganda. GOP Requests Cuts M Budget WASHINGTON ()) - Former President Dwight D. Eisenhower said yesterday "we will convict ourselves of fiscal recklessness" unless deep cuts are made in Presi- dent John F. Kennedy's request for $108 billion in new spending. The former chief executive thus threw his prestige behind a Re- publican drive in Congress to slice at least $10 billion from the to- tal. He stressed that neither the defense nor space programs should be spared the ax. , I ROBERT S. McNAMARA .... raises defense Teamsters' Appeal Fails On Election WASHINGTON M)-The Team- sters Union lost yesterday in an effort to overturn an election in which the union sought unsuccess- fully to take over bargaining rights for 17,000 Western Electric Co. communications installers. Ivan C. McLeod, regional direc- tor for the National Labor Rela- tions Board, dismissed in New York the objections which had been filed by the teamsters. His action was announced here. It was the second straight day the NLRB has ruled against James' F. Hoffa's Teamsters Union on important bargaining rights issues. Rebel Group The board itself sustained Thursday the complaints of a Teamsters Union rebel group against an election narrowly won by Hoffa's organization among some 8,200 over-the-road Phila- delphia area truck drivers. The result of Thursday's deci- sion is that the NLRB will hold a new election giving the "Voice of the Teamsters," the rebel group, another chance to wrest bargain- ing rights from the Hoffa forces. In the Philadelphia case, a new election was ordered because it was found that violence and van- dalism directed against the rebel group had interfered with fair balloting. The NLRB itself upheld a regional director's ruling, from which the Teamsters had appeal- ed. Installers Case In the case of the Western Electric installers, McLeod ruled there was no merit to objections filed by the Teamsters on the grounds that the Western Electric Co. had improperly aided the AFL- CIO Communications Workers Union. The CWA won the Western Elec- tric balloting last December by a vote of 11,388 to 4,000 for the Teamsters. By MALINDA BERRY For the people of Southeast Asia, learning English is one very big step towards modernization. To do this effectively there must be natives in the several countries able to teach English in elemen- tary and secondary schools. Laos will graduate its first class of Eng- lish teachers for the lower sec- ondary schools in June. Five years ago there was not one Lao teach- er of English in Laos. This advancement is due in a large part to the members of the University's English Language In- stitute overseas staff under the Southeast Asian Regional English Illinois Reveals Birth Control Programming CHICAGO ()The Illinois Pub- lic Aid Commission announced yesterday details of the controver- sial birth control program for re- lief recipients that will be started Monday, Chairman Arnold H. Maremont rated the plan as "one of the most significant public aid meas- ures ever adopted by any state." The aid will go to "any recepient who has a spouse or child and who requests assistance for family planning." It will take the form of devices or medication or instruction An unmarried mother or a mother who isn't living with her husband could qualify under the directive. Roman Catholics, who have at- tacked the program, have centered their fire on that provision. Leg- islation has been proposed in the Illinois Legislature to limit birth control aid to married women liv- ing with their husbands. SOUTHEAST ASIA: ELI Aids English Teaching Project. Since 1958, members of ELI have been working in Thai- land and South Vietnam, as well as in Laos. Co-Financing This project has been financed by the United States and the host government. While more than 1000 English teachers in the three countries have been trained, the administra- tion of the program will have to continue to be provided by outside sources. . George E. Luther, University co- ordinator for SEAREP, said, in is- suing the project's fourth annual report recently, one should re- member English is necessary in most underdeveloped countries for economic and technical advance- ment. It is also important as a means of obtaining knowledge and because it is becoming the vehicle for international communication. Understanding Ideas "For the United States, knowl- edge of English in these countries determines to a great extentrthe growth in understanding of our ideas, ideals and institutions," Luther said. English is also essen- tial to the success of American aid programs of all types. As of this fourth annual report, 18 University field staff members have taken part in the SEAREP and 12 participants have come to the University for study. Six are from Thailand, four from Laos, and two from Vietnam. In Laos, the project has made "an excellent start, especially when one realizes that there was no or- ganized English program in the country," Luther said. The English Section of the Na- t s McLeod's decision cannot be ap- pealed to the NLRB here, as was done in the Philadelphia case, be- cause the Western Electric elec- tion was held on a consent basis. Dismissal of Teamsters' objec- tions in the Western Electric case Imeans that the CWA Union is now legally free to proceed with bar- gaining for wage increases and other improvements with the com- pany under a contract reopening clause.. An eligible relief recipient wil sign a form requesting help, an< will write in the name of the phy- sician or clinic of her choice. BENTON HARBOR COMMUNITY COLLEGE SUMMER SESSION, June 17 to July 26. For information and application, write Director of Summer Session. tional Center of Education of Laos now has students in the ninth through the twelfth grades. The teacher trainees come from all areas of Laos. Students who com- plete three years of instruction at the Center successfully are awarded Upper Elementary Teach- ing Certificates. By the summer of 1963, 10-12 teachers should be ready to teach in lower secondary schools. In Thailand, the results have been "excellent" but the Thai Min- istry of Education is now consid- ering the introduction of English at a lower level in the schools which will, if the policy is adopted, immediately create a severe short- age of teachers. Forty-seven teachers in the teacher training colleges during the year of the report--September 1961-62-attended special three- month in-service courses held at the education school. A total of 146 teachers have attended courses of this type since 1959. Better Calibre Luther reported that in Viet- nam, the calibre of English teach- ing has been improved and a sound English program has been established at the University of Saigon. The SEAREP staff helped for- mulate the English language cur- riculum for a new in-service, one- year, five-hours-a-week training program intended to increase the quality of junior high school teach- ing. Due to pending curriculum changes at the secondary school level no workshops were held in 1962 as they had been in previous years. [I CCOME 'roC) rjH *A ' Ur\ 3 -Ir ST.
