Cuban Major Surrenders to Investigatio

Brakes Summit Plan

n

UNTED NATIONS, N.Y. (M)
Nationalist China yesterday ac-
cused the Chinese Communists of
brainwashing the Tibetan people
in an attempt to wipe them out
as a distinct nationality.
T. F. Tsiang, the Chinese Na-
tionalist ambassador, made the
charge in the 82-nation General

Assembly before the United Na-
tions approved a resolution calling
for respect for the fundamental
rights of the Tibetan people and
their cultural and religious life.
Top diplomats of the Soviet bloc
walked out of the assembly hall
when Tsiang took the rostrum to

s 1

accuse the Chinese Communists of
inflicting on the Tibetan people
sufferings greater than "any co-
lonial or dependent people in Asia;
or Africa have ever experienced."
Cites Broken Promises
He charged the Chinese Reds
with making systematic warfare
on religion and religious institu-
tions in Tibet in violation 'of
promises to the Tibetan people.
He declared Tibetan youths
were being indoctrinated with
Communism in both elementary
and secondary schools where free
tuition and clothing were offered
as inducements for attendance.t
"With such a program of indoc-
trination and brainwashing," he
added, "the Tibetan people as a
distinct nationality may disap-
pear."
Build Roads, Bases
The Chinese Communists, he
said, have engaged in an extensive
strategic road-building and air
field construction program for
military purposes.
He said a buildup of this kind
along with strengthened armed
forces constitute a military threat,
to the neighbors of Red China.
"Now, in Tibet, for the first time
in many centuries, we have the
beginning of an arms race," he
said.
Eisenhower
To Reassign
Rocket Team,
WASHINGTON (P) - President
Dwight D. Eisenhower decided
yesterday to strip the army of its
rocket development team and turn
it over to the Civilian Space Agen-
cy.
He said this would strengthen
the national space effort.
"I have concluded that the
Army Ballistic Missile Agency can
best serve the national interest as
an integral part of the National
Aeronautics and Space Adminis-
tration," Eisenhower announced
from his vacation headquarters in
Augusta, Ga.
White House Press Secretary
James C. Hagerty told a news
conference the President will send
Congress in January a reorgani-
zation plan to put the transfer
into effect.
The plan will go into force auto-
matically 60 days after its sub-
mission, unless either the House
or Senate vetoes it.
Eisenhower's proposal is certain
to trigger another big argument
on Capitol Hill, where the Admin-
istration's space and missile pro-
grams have been under heavy
Democratic attack in the past.
It was clear that Eisenhower's
decision means the Civilian Space
Agency would take over the work
being done on a giant new rocket
cluster intended to generate 11/2
million pounds of thrust.

CAMAGUEY, Cuba (AR)-- Amid
tumult in the streets around his
provincial military headquarters,
Maj. Hubert Matos surrendered
quietly yesterday for investigation
on a charge of plotting against
Fidel Castro's government.
Prime Minister Castro himself
was in this old Spanish-style city
300 miles east of Havana for the
arrest. Between 4,000 and 5,000
workers and peasants were mo-
bilized by radio for an assault and
milled about expectantly. But the
assault order never came.
Army Commander Maj. Camilo
Cienfuegos, who flew with Castro
from Havana, walked into the
headquarters and came out unop-
posed with Matos, a bearded as-
sociate of both in the revolution
that felled Fulgencio Batista's dic-
tatorship.
Planned Coup
Cienfuegos said Matos had
planned a coup d'etat.
Castro took to a radio-TV net-
work to accuse Matos of being
vain and ungrateful. His denun-
ciation resembled that which he
used in attacking and ousting
Manuel Urrutia from the presi-
dency last July.
Castro's live audience - the
workers and peasants summoned
from benches and fields --cheered
repeatedly as Castro tore into
Matos' reputation.
Submits Resignation
But he implied the prisoner
will not be held long. He said
Matos can go where he wishes. He
did not say when.
Two factors stood out in the
background:
1) Matos submitted his resigna-
tion Monday when Maj. Raul Cas-
tro, '29-year-old brother of the
prime minister, was made minister
of the Cuban armed forces, with

complete control over the army,
navy and air force. Informed
sources said the two have dis-
agreed repeatedly.
2) Matos has been cool toward
Castro's controversial agrarian re-
form program, advocating a slow-
down in its application. This
brought him into conflict with

Capt. Jorge Enrique Mendoza,
who directs the program
"Matos tried to get his friends
among the officers here to resign
too," Castro shouted in a voice
that sounded hoarse with anger.
"Well, let them resign and we willj
have more money to build)
schools."
Matos has the high regard of

many in Camaguey, however, and
there was some private criticism
of the action against him.
Students of Camaguey High
School displayed a huge black-
board outside the school with the
chalked declaration:
"We ask clarification of the
charges against Hubert Matos -
down with Communism."

PRES. CHARLES DE GAULLE
... asks spring meeting
for two-way talks with President
Charles de Gaulle, the French
government announced this as its
stand on the summit:
If the world climate is changed
in the coming months, then the
Big Four could hold a general dis-
cussion next spring "of the prob-
lems which divide the world."
Highlights Differences
This statement of the cabinet,
which met with de Gaulle presid-
ing, brought formally into the
open the differences among the
western Big Three over the sum-
mit meeting with Khrushchev on.
cold war issues.
In Washington, P r e s i d e n t
Dwight D, Eisenhower met with
Secretary of State Christian A.
Herter, apparently to discuss ways
of settling the dispute with France
over a timing of a meeting. Eisen-
hower is understood to have pro-
posed a meeting with his western
partners early next month to clear
the way for a possible summit
meeting in the first 10 days of De-
cember.
In London, the Foreign Office
commented: "We have always
felt that it (the summit meeting)
ought to take place rather earlier
than the spring." It added that
there would have to be discus-
sions on a date to propose to Mos-
cow.
Must Prepare
Basically, the French Cabinet's
statement was a reiteration of the
attitude de Gaulle has taken since
early this year on an East-West
summit conference.
He said then, as the cabinet did
yesterday, that summit talks must
be carefully prepared because fail-
ure would create a grave situation.
The cabinet said the prepara-
tion should include several high
level western meetings held at
leisure.
If the coming months bring
signs of an "effective easing of
tensions," the statement said, then
the question of a summit confer-
ence could be contemplated.
Eisenhower and Prime Minister
Harold Macmillan - particularly
Macmillan - have been pictured
as wanting an early meeting with
Khrushchev to take advantage of
a thaw in East-West relations.
