OCTOBER 4,1992 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE ~CTOBER 4. 196~ THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE Rusk Outlines U.S. Plans LABOR PARTY: SRap Macmillan's ECM Stand To 'Impede Trade to Cuba E r Three Steps Considered To Halt Ships Castro Bloc Meets Strong Denunciation WASHINGTON (P) - Secretary of State Dean Rusk reportedly told Latin American foreign ministers yesterday the United States is planning to take measures design- ed to discourage the use of allied- owned ships in Communist-bloc deliveries to Cuba. The foreign ministers also adopted a communique expressing strong denunciation of the Fidel Castro - Communist alliance in Cuba. It was learned that three steps are under serious consideration with the indication that they will be imposed shortly: Bar U.S. Ships. 1) The United States' own ships would be specifically prohibited from engaging in the Cuban trade in any manner. There have been charges that American - owned ships operating under foreign flags have engaged in the Cuban trade, but a State Department official. recently denied knowledge of such operations. 2) United States ports would be closed to, ships of any country carrying arms to Cuba. This re- striction would define the United States attitude on Cuban arms shipments, but apparently would have little if any practical effect, Since officials say that, so far as they know, only Soviet ships have been used for arms deliveries to Cuba. 3) United States ports would be closed to vessels which sailed frorm any Communist-bloc port to Cuba or from Cuba, or from Cuba to a Communist-bloc port., Stop Cargoes This measure would be directed toward preventing ships from de- livering any kind of cargo to Cuba, then picking up cargo at an Amer- ican port for delivery elsewhere. Conversely, vessels engaged in Cuban trade would be barred from taking on cargo in some other country and delivering it to the United States.:, 'STAMP' OF APPROVAL: Senate Boosts Postal Rates By The Associated Press WASHINGTON -- The Senate yesterday passed a compromise bill raising postal rates $605 mil- lion a year, including a penny hike on letters and airmail, and raising pay of 1.6 million federal em- p16yes. It also approved a drug control bill. Effective in January The five-cent stamp for letters and the other penny increases in first class mail will take effect Jan. 7. Second class rates-newspapers and magazines -- and third class rates - mostly circulars and ad- vertising material - would also go up in three stages, in January 1963, 1964 and 1965. The pay raises would give about $370 million a year for 590,000 postal workers and $680 million for one million classified civil serv- ice employes.

World News Roundup By The Associated Press NEW DELHI - A Communist Chinese note yesterday warned that "defensive measures" may be taken in the middle as well as eastern and western sectors of the Himalayan border with India.

GILMER, Tex. - The Upshur County grand jury yesterday indicted 12 Texas men on bribery, conspiracy and theft charges evolving from investigations into slanted oil wel -- BRIGHTON, England (IP)-The opposition Labor Party last night rejected government's terms for taking Britain into the European Common Market. The decision, backed by an overwhelming majorityrofthe 1,- 300 delegates at the party's an- nual conference, foreshadowed a major clash in British politics. The delegates cheered and1 stamped their feet when their leader, Hugh Gaitskell, challenged Prime Minister Harold Macmillan' to change his policies or submit the Common Market issue to the electorate. Claims Endorsement Gaitskell said the socialistic La- bor Party - not Macmillan's Con- servatives - speaks now for the people of Britain and the Com- monwealth. He said Macmillan - in his anxiety to enter the Common Market - was pursuing a course that could destroy the Common- wealth, toss away 1000 years of British independence and deepen the cold war. In such a united Europe, he ex- plained, Britain would have the same status that California and Texas have in the United States. "We are not a part of Europe- at least not Yet," Gaitskell said. Britain could link up with its' continental neighbors only if the present terms were radically modi- fied, he declared. But he held out little hope that such changes wouldresult from the Brussels negotiations being conducted by Deputy Foreign Min- ister Edward Heath and represen- tatives of the six Common Market countries - West Germany, France, Italy, Belgium, Nether- lands and Luxembourg. Out in Open Macmillan - after disguising for months his own deep commit- ment to the Common Market - now is also out in the open. He will get his chance to answer Gaitskell at the Conservative Par- ty conference in Llandudno, Wales, next week. But he will have to tread carefully there for Gait- skell's anti-market line has stirred up many conservatives.
