Castro Calls
Aid 'Alms'
From U.S.
HAVANA (W) - Fidel Castro
yesterday called President John F.
Kennedy's Latin American aid
program "alms for beggars" and
again accused Washington of sup-
plying and sheltering his enemies.
The Prime Minister's three-hour
harangue against Kennedy and his
$600 million "alliance for prog-
ress" appeared to have chilled
whatever hopes remained for bet-
ter relations between Washington
and Havana.
Castro linked his attack on Ken-
nedy to a charge that the United
States had supplied counterrevo-
lutionaries with an armed speed
boat that shot up the nationalized
Texaco oil refinery at Santiago
Monday. The government press
and radio said the vessel probably
took refuge at the United States
naval base at Guantanamo Bay.
This was denied by naval offi-
cials.
He warned that if the United
States sanctions a Cuban govern-
ment in exile, on United States
soil, he will allow Puerto Rican
revolutionaries to set up an exile
regime in Havana.
"If they promote revolution\
against us" Castro shouted, "we
will promote revolution against
them."
"Barely two years ago the Yan-
kee empire did not remember
atin) America existed," Castro
said. "Today they are filled with
inquietude, not for the well being
of America but for fear of losing
America."

UNITED NATIONS (-) - East-

of stormy debate.

This will be the curtain raiser

U.S. Hopes
To Prevent
Bomb, Tests
WASHINGTON (A') - President
John F. Kennedy pledged yester-
day that the UnitedStates will
do everything possible at Geneva
next week to conclude agreements
with Russia outlawing test explo-
sions of nuclear weapons.
He announced that after nego-
tiations resume next Tuesday, the
United States will make proposals
to the Soviet Union for "a treaty
fair to all."
Kennedy made his statement
after a final conference with spe-
cial ambassador Arthur H. Dean
who wound up a month of policy-
making sessions in Washington.
After a stop-over in New York,
Dean will fly to Geneva to rep-
resent the United States in the 3-
power talks.
Dean and Kennedy's chief dis-
armament adviser, John J. Mc-
Cloy, have completed a thorough-
going review of United States
policy in the two and a half year-
old nuclear test talks. They esti-
mate that the United States and
Britain, the other members of the
conference, should know in six to
eight weeks whether there, actual-
ly is any hope of making a treaty
prohibiting tests.
If the Soviet government does
not jain in producing substantial
progress toward agreement by that
time, Dean plans to report the
state of affairs to Kennedy and
the President, high officials agree,
wil come under extremely heavy
pressure then to order a resump-
tion of weapons test explosions
underground.
Some authorities think that
failure in the round now coming
up at Geneva would mean an end
to current hopes for a test i ban
Urge Truck
Road Taxes
WASHINGTON (I)-More taxes
to keep the federal superhighway
building program on schedule
were urged yesterday by a battery
of administration officials, who
said operators of heavy trucks
should pay a bigger share of the
cost.
"The desirability of such a shift
of the tax burden is clearly borne
out by various state and federal
studies," Secretary of the Treas-
ury Douglas Dillon told the House
ways and means committee.
Secretary of Commerce Luther
H. Hodges also backed President
John F. Kennedy's proposals for
raising an additional $900 million
annually.

tice Department and the Tennes-

ed a joint suit for more than $12
million against five electrical
equipment manupfacturers involv-
ed in the recent bid-rigging case
in Philadelphia.
The action, in the federal dis-
trict court at Philadelphia, was
the first of a prospective long
series of similar damage actions by
both governmental agencies and
private concerns alleged to have
been victimized by collusive bid-
ding over the last nine years.

Bill To Restore Ike
To 5-Star General
WASHINGTON (IP) - Congress
yesterday sent to the White House
an act to restore Dwight D. Ei-
senhower to the five-star general
rank he gave up to run for the
presidency in 1952.
The $12 iillion claim relates!
to only one heavy electrical
equipment item-the large out-
door oil and air circuit breakers
purchased by federal agencies and
TVA between 1951 and 1960.
A score of other major items
were sold to the same agencies
during the same years, and the at-
torney general said the circuit
breaker suit is "the first of sev-
eral contemplated."
The recent criminal bid-rigging
case involved 29 corporations and
many of their principal executives.
GE, Westinghouse and Allis-
Chalmers pleaded guilty to fixing
bids on circuit breakers. Federal
Pacific and I-T-E entered pleas
of "no contest" in connection with
this item.
The criminal case was closed
out by the Philadelphia court with
fines totaling nearly $2 million,
30-day Jail sentences for seven
executives and suspended' jail
terms for others.
