WASHINGTON (P)-Senate investigators said yesterday United
State intelligence chiefs admit "there is reason for grave concern"
that Soviet long-range missiles and bombers may be hidden in Cuban
caves.
"Even though the intelligence community believes that all have
been withdrawn," the probers said, "it is of the greatest urgency to
determine whether or not strategic missiles now are concealed in
Cuba." Absolute assurance can come only from "penetrating and con-
tinuing on-site inspection by reli-"

LESS SECURITY-
Bill Disputes
Clay Clams
For Aid Cuts.
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - Foreign Aid
Administrator David E. Bell yes-
r terday disputed Gen. Lucius D.
Clay's estimate that no more than
$4-billion was needed for foreign
assistance programs in the year
ahead.
Bell backed President John F.
Kennedy's revised estimate of $4.5
billion and in a memorandum to
Secretary of State Dean Rusk
stated that, "any cut in Kennedy's
request would entail corresponding
costs to the program's contribu-
tion to free world security and
progress."
Clay recently appeared before
the House Foreign Affairs Com-
mittee and said that $200 million
could be cut from Kennedy's re-
quest if the Clay committee's pro-
posals for stricter criteria and ad-
ministrative standards on aid
were adopted.
He also said $300 million more
could be saved from Kennedy's
proposed $900 million for the Al-
liance for Progress with the Latin
American republics because the
self-help conditions required un-
der that program would not be
met in some countries.
Clay's testimony allows for an
appropriation of $4.3 billion with
the understanding that no more
than $4 billion would be used.
to put to Pearson, no single docu-
ment outlining what Washington
wants has been drawn up and no
hard commitments are expected.
Their discussions are to start at
noon today and conclude Saturday
afternoon.
The meeting may be an impor-
tant one in ushering in a new era
between the two North American
neighbors. Washington-Ottawa re-
lations cooled durin'g the six-year
rule of John G. Diefenbaker, and
during Diefenbaker's campaign
this spring.
Memo Leak
One incident involved the leak
of a 1961 memo by presidential
aide Walt W. Rostow advising
Kennedy to push for greater co-
operation on a number of items
at a meeting Kennedy then was
having with Diefenbaker.
United States authorities regard
the. 191 memo as innocuous-but
Kennedy advisers are taking no
chances in the new start with
Pearson, whom they rate as a
good friend of the United States.
Sensitive Position
Administration sources said:
Pearson is in a sensitive position
domestically. Canadians will be
watching his Hyannis Port visit to
see how he makes out looking for
any signs of a me-too attitude in
his dealings with Kennedy.
Kennedy will try to avoid any-
thing that might look like pressure
on Pearson. The United States
government is well aware of Cana-
dian sensitivity to the fact that the
United States population is some
10 times that of Canada and that
this nation's wealth and power are
proportionately greater than the
Canadians'.
House Grants
Right To Fire
NSA Employes
WASHINGTON (P)-The House
voted yesterday to let the secretary
of defense fire employes of the
super-secret National Security
Agency without explanation or ap-
peal if he decides they are secur-
ity risks.
Overriding protests.that the bill
tramples on individual rights, the
House passed it on a 340 to 40 roll
call vote and sent it to the Senate.
The bill also would require a full
background investigation of pros-
pective employes of the agency.
Identical legislation passed the
House last year, but never faced a
Senate vote.
Before passing the measure, the
House defeated proposed amend-
ments that would have stricken
the summary firing procedure.
Pro-Nasser
Protest Hits
Damascus
Aleppo Rioters Score
Mass Army Firings
DAMASCUS (P)-Gunfire in the
north and noisy stonethrowing
demonstrations in Damascus wid-
ened yesterday the cracks in the
merge between Iraq and the Unit-
ed Arab Republic.
The flaring demonstrations-
accompanied by anti-government
chants in support of UAR Presi-
dent Gamal Abdel Nasser-were
in protest against the mass dismis-
sal of pro-Nasser army officers
and last week's walkout of pro-
Nasser members of the govern-
ment and revolutionary command.
In the capital, student demon-
strations erupted in five separate
sections of the city. Armored cars
and troops broke up four of them.
Seize Control
Hundreds of shouting students
seized control of Damascus high
school for four hours and drove
back armed riot police with vol-
leys of stones from the roof. Quiet
returned late Tuesday.
In Aleppo in the north, where
rioters Wednesday attacked police
with rocks, knives and guns from
behind barricades of stones and
overturned cars, heavy gunfire
broke out again yesterday morning
but the city quieted toward night-
fall.
Hundreds were reported arrested
in the two cities, including one
civilian member of the National
Revolutionary Council from Alep-
po.
Wounded in Fighting
Unconfirmed estimates here
said as many as 20 were killed and
scores wounded in the Aleppo
fighting but a Western diplomat
reported by telephone from there
that "no one really knows."
The diplomat said spasms of
light firing rattled the ancient city
throughout the morning but "the
army appears to have the situa-
tion in hand."
American residents of Aleppo-
where entire districts are staunch-
ly pro-Nasser-were u2hiarmed, he
said.
. Tension Mounts
Tension in Aleppo and Damas-
cus mounted asthe week-oldrpoli-
tical crisis cau~sed by the army
dismissals and resignations left
Syria under the virtual but shaky
control of Premier Salah Bitar's
Ba'ath Arab reawakening party,
with whom Nasser declared he
would not federate.
Nasser demanded a national
front instead o fa one-party re-
gime in Syria, with Ba'ath sharing
power with Nasserite movements.
The national front collapsed
when non-Ba'athist members re-
signed to protest the army dismis-
sals, claiming Ba'athist was seiz-
ing control of the armed fortes,
and to demand a larger voice in
the government.
Reuther Seeks
Goldwater As
'64 Nominee
DETROIT (')-Walter P. Reu-
ther says he believes Barry Gold-
water should be the Republican
nominee for President in 1964 to
give the people a clear choice be-
tween Democratic and Republican
philosophies.
Reuther predicted President
John F. Kennedy would win re-
election decisively.
The United Auto Workers presi-
dent-a longtime political foe of
the Arizona senator-expressed his
views in an interview tape record-
ed for broadcast last night over
the ABC radio network.
Reuther said he "would be pleas-
ed if the point of view of Gold-
water became the guiding policy
of the Republican party.

ate. Fidel Castro has refused to
permit such inspection. The Unit-
ed States relies mostly on aerial
surveillance of the island.
Total Dropped
The Senate preparedness sub-
committee also said that, despite
President John F. Kennedy's esti-
mate that the total of Soviet
troops may have dropped to about
12,000, the intelligence community
still uses 17,500 as the current
estimate.
This, the senators said, is "per-
haps a minimumi figure." They
noted anti-Castro Cuban exile re-
ports that as many as 40,000 So-
viet troops now are in Cuba.
Looking Backwards
The subcommittee said that in
looking back at last fall's missile
crisis, the performance of the Cen-
tral Intelligence Agency (CIA) and
the military intelligence agencies
"can be criticized in some areas."
"While a reasonably competent
job was done in acquiring and col-
lecting intelligence information
and data," it said, "in retrospect
it appears that several substantial
errors were made by the intelli-
gence agencies in the evaluation of
the information and data which
was accumulated."
In a summary of its major find-
ings, the subcommittee said:
Faulty Judgment
"Faulty evaluation and predis-
position of the intelligence com-
munity to the philosophical con-
viction that it would be incompat-
ible with Soviet policy to introduce
strategic missiles into Cuba re-
sulted in intelligence judgments
and evaluations which liter prov-
ed to be erroneous."

Troops Note
Cuba Tension
GUATANAMO (R) - American
Marines guarding the perimeter of
this United States naval base said
yesterday there has been a recent
unexplained increase in hostile
acts by Cubans on the other side
of the dividing fence.
Marines told the first party of
United States newsmen to visit
the base in two months that the
activity consisted mainly of rock
throwing and hurling curses and
insults,
The Marines declined to say
what they are doing in response,
but there are no regulations for-
bidding them to return the hos-
tilities.
Marines Guard Curtain
Pfc. Larry Burton, 20, Mans-
field, Ohio, said Marines guarding
the so-called cactus curtain used
to chat with Cuban guards across
the fence.
"About a month ago they were
friendly, but now they have start-
ed throwing rocks. They were
much more friendly right through
the crisis last October than they
are now," Burton said.
Throw Rocks
Pfc. Thomas A. Zuk, 21, Nor-
walk, Ohio, standing guard with
Burton at one of the isolated posts
along the wire-topped steel mesh
fence, said the Cuban rock throw-
ing had increased but didn't bother
anyone too much.
A couple of miles farther along
the border, at the northeast gate
to the base, Lance Cpl. James W.
Fletcher, 21, Mobile, Ala., said
"this afternoon there were a lot
of instances of rock throwing. It's
just an attempt to harass us."
Court Upholds
Tax in Detroit
By The Associated Press
LANSING - Detroit's one per
cent city income tax was upheld
yesterday by the Michigan Su-
preme Court on the basis that the
tax is legally an excise tax and
applies to residents and non-resi-
dents alike.
The Detroit tax was challenged
in two suits which were combined
in a hearing before Circuit Judge
Neal Fitzgerald of Wayne County,
who originally ruled the tax was
an excise tax and therefore le-
gal.
