UN PROJECT:
. To Seek End
To Cuban Aid Plan
UNITED NATIONS WP)-As part of its economic squeeze on Fidel
Castro, the United States will demand that the United Nations cancel
a project to help build a $3 milliop agricultural experiment station
1; .
in Cuba.
This was disclosed by United States sources yesterday. These in-
formants said UN Ambassador Adlaie E. Stevenson had been instruct-
ed to fight right down the line to halt previously approved plans un-
_der which the UN special fund
K3 would grant $1.1 million for the
WJV ld N C project.

ROME--The leaders of Italy's
four government coalition parties
emerged from a long meeting last
night in substantial agreement on
major points of dispute. Success
in ironing out differences meant
that Premier Amintore Fanfani's
center - left government could
count on continued life, with na-
tional elections a few months
away.
WASHINGTON - Relay, the

tions satellite, will broadcast to

pictures of last night's official un-
veiling of the Mona Lisa.
WASHINGTON - The United
States countered threats to shoot
down more mercy planes in Laos
yesterday with a demand that the
Communist attacks be stopped and
word that the flights will go on.

NEW YORK-The stock market
responded to a new wave of buying
yesterday and rose sharply in
heavy trading. Thirty Dow-Jones
industrials rose 7.74 to 669.98 while
20 railroads were up 2.09 to 150.52
and 15 utilities up 1.02 to 132.76.
The plan was approved in May
1961, but so far it has not been
signed and no concrete steps have
been taken to carry it out. The
United States, which contributes
40 per cent of the mopey spent by
the special fund, voted against the
grant at the time.
Fleeing Technicians
- The United States took the posi-
tion that the project could not be
carried out because of the large
number of Cuban agricultural
technicians fleeing the country.
United States sources said this
situation was even more compli-
cated now because of Soviet tech-
nicians in Cuba.
The United States plans were
disclosed as a government report
in Washington painted a gloomy
picture of Cuba's agriculture. The
United States Foreign Agricultural
Service said Cuban farm produc-
tion had dropped 20 per cent since
Castro took over. The report added
that the food situation in Cuba is
the worst in years and may get
even worse this year.
Stevenson Actions
Stevenson was reported ready
to make strong representations to
former United States industrialist
Paul G. Hoffman, head of the spe-
cial fund, in an attempt to con-
vince him that the project should
be canceled, and go before the,
special fund's governing council,
which meets next week, and con-
tinue the fight there if his appeal
to Hoffman fails.
In other action the United States
government is also providing five
million pounds of dried milk to be
sent to Cuba as part payment for
release of prisoners from the Bay
of Pigs disaster.
As much as 15 million addition-
al pounds may be provided.

NEW PLANS:
Goulart Gains
Support Vote
In Plebiscite
RIO DE JANEIRO ()-Flushed
by an overwhelming vote of pub-
lic confidence, President Joao
Goulart started laying plans yes-
terday for a new cabinet to rule
with him in the return of a strong
presidential system to Brazil.
Political opponents warned him
against a strong-man takeover in
the style of the late dictator Ge-
tulio Vargas.
Latest unofficial returns from a
plebiscite Sunday showed more
than 5 million Brazilians voted to
throw out a 16-month-old parlia-
mentary system of government.
The tabulations-about half com-
plete-showed one million favored
retaining it. j
The parliamentary system was
inaugurated in September 1961,
after the resignation of Janio
Quadros as president, to keep full
presidential powers from falling
into Goulart's hands. Military
leaders feared Goulart, then vice-
president, was too far left to gov-
ern under a presidential system
that was comparable to that of the
United States.
Goulart, will pick a cabinet to
replace the present one headed
by Prime Minister Hermes Lima,
who must resign Jan. 31.
Says Dams,
Bridges Set
To Explode
Mining Group Asks
Support To End War
ELISABETHVILLE W) - Presi-
dent Moise Tshombe came home
to his United Nations-occupied
capital yesterday with a sharp hint
that the threat of sabotage still
hangs over Katangan mines and
utilities.
Union Miniere, which owns most
of the mines and utilities, agreed
with him and appealed for coop-
eration to prevent it.
"In spite of all the trouble and
bloodshed, I am back," Tshombe
said in an interview at his presi-
dential palace.
Very Busyj
"My ministers and I have been
very busy in Kolwezi preparing the
demolition of all industries. In that
case Adoula, the UN or we will
have lost everything," he added.
Adoula is Prime Minister Cyrille
Adoula of the central Congo gov-
ernment, prospective chief politi-
cal beneficiary of the Katanga-
Congo reunification plan that UN
Secretary-General U Thant pro-
poses to have in effect by next
Monday.
Union Miniere, at least, fully
agreed that the sabotage threat
exists.
Mined Dams
The giant copper mining com-
pany said Katangan police have
mined essential dams and power
stations and occupy all its pits and
plants in the area of Kolwezi.
In statements issued in Brussels
and at UN headquarters in New
York, it appealed to all responsible
parties "to cooperate in measures
to prevent further damage" in the
11-day-old war.
Coincident with Tshombe's re-
turn came news of serious tribal
fighting in Kasai province, where
the UN Congo command had re-
duced its power to swell its task
forces in Katanga.
The Congolese News Agency, a
semiofficial organ, reported in Leo-
poldville that at least 370 Congo-
lese were killed in a battle between
two factions at Kakenge.

To Increase
Draft Quotas
WASHINGTON (R) -The De-
fense Department yesterday asked
the drafting of 9,000 men for the
Army in March.
This is the biggest monthly quo-
ta since January 1962, and more
than doubles the quotas of recent
months.
The sharply increased quota was
foreshadowed by an Army an-
nouncement last November that it
would expand its strength by 20,-
000 men through increased draft
calls for a six-month period.
The higher draft is aimed at
building the Army's strength to
980,000 men.
The quota for this month and
for next stands at 4,000 men. In
December, 6,000 were drafted.
The biggest previous monthly
quota was a year ago when the Ar-
my took 15,000 men as part of the
Berlin crisis buildup.
The Navy, Marine Corps and Air
Force do not intend to draw on the
draft during March, the Defense
Department said.

By BARBARA PASH
Democratic Sen. Patrick McNa-
mara's recently-acquired chair-
manship of the Public Works Com-
mittee will not make much dif-
ference in the committee's func-
tioning or for Michigan, Prof.
George Peek of the political sci-
ence department noted yesterday.
McNamara acquired the chair-
manship as the second in seniority
following the former chairman,
Sen. Robert Kerr (D-Okla), who
died recently.
"Kerr was valuable to the pres-
ent administration because he was
second in seniority on the Finance
Committee and it was in this ca-
pacity that he was supposed to aid
President John F. Kennedy with
the tax reform. Sen. Harry Byrd
(D-Va), chairman of that com-
mittee now, is against the reform,"
he explained.
The Public Works Committee is
not as crucial a committee as the
Finance or Appropriations Com-
mittees are considered to be. "In
fact, it is really one of the lesser
committees of the Senate," Peek
continued.
Rivers, Harbors
The Public Works Committee
mandate states that its purpose is
to concern itself with rivers, har-
bors and water pollution, as the
most important of its duties.
"The committee passes out a few
favors concerning bridges, dams
and others, but most of this has
already been decided before it gets
to the Public Works Committee.
The projects must have appropria-
tions and the Appropriations Com-
mittee decides this," he said.
The major issues for Congress
this year are aid to education,
Medicare, tax reforms and appro-
priations for the Agency for In-
ternational Development. None of
these come within the jurisdiction
of the Public Works Committee.
Labor, Welfare
"However, McNamara's import-
ant position is that of being second
in seniority on the Labor and Pub-
lic Welfare Committee," Peek ob-
served.
This committee, headed by Sen.
Lister Hill (D-Ala), is concerned
with all matters regarding labor-
management relations, w a g e s,
hours, labor disputes and educa-
tion and hospitalization (under
public welfare).
"To have a senator from Michi-
gan as chairman of this commit-
tee would be advantageous. This is,
obviously, a more powerful position
than the Public Works Commit-
tee," he remarked.
