U.S. Asks Debate of Hungarian Questioi
Could Prove Start of Cooperation
On Space Studies, Atomic Research
WASHINGTON (P)-The United States and Russia signed a
trail-blazing agreement yesterday to organize join scientific studies
in the conquest of disease and to explore the desirability of joint
projects in the peaceful uses of atomic energy.
The accord reached in these fields of science could prove a fore-
runner of an agreement already discussed by scientists of the two
nations for joint endeavors in space exploration.
The scientific programs are part of a new, over-all exchange pact
covering also a wide variety of other subjects ranging from industry
?and agriculture to education and

The United States came out
yesterday with a request that the
United Nations General Assembly
debate the question of Hungary.
It supported, a similar and
earlier request from Sir Leslie
Munro of New Zealand, United
Nations special representative on
Hungary.
This support seemed designed
to rob the Soviet Union of an argu-

EXCHANGE PACT-The United States and Russia have agreed
to exchanges of information on the peaceful uses of atomic
energy. The University's Phoenix Memorial Project does research
in this field with equipment such as these instruments for the
handling of radioactive substances by remote control.-Russia and
the United States have also agreed to explore the desirability of
joint scientific projects.

Issue Statement
The Soviet delegation issued a
statement here six hours after the
United States action was made
public. The statement said:
"Such a step on the part of the
United States delegation, char-
acteristic of the worst times of the
cold war, cannot be, regarded
otherwise than as contradicting
and undermining the spirit of co-
operation which began to take
shape in the relations between
states under -the impact of the
recent relaxation of international
tension;.. .
"On the one hand, the United
States representatives declare their
desire for the normalization of
international relations and, on the
other hand, (they) undertake ac-
tions designed to aggravate the
international atmosphere."
Discuss Munro
The Soviet delegation spoke
slightingly of Munro as a man
whd "calls himself" a United Na-
tions special representative. It
said "the so - called Hungarian
question . . . is far-fetched and
provocative" and any discussion
of it would only help "advocates of
the continuation of the cold war."
Soviet delegate Arkady A. So-
bolev had told a newsman Friday
his delegation would object be-
cause Munro had no legal author-
ity to ask the Assembly to put
anything on its agenda.
Munro has argued privately that
he has that right because he is a
subsidiary organ of the Assembly.
HAVANA (P)--The government
adopted legislation ,yesterday re-
quiring oil exploration and ex-
ploitation firms to 'ork their
Cuban claims or lose them.
Petroleum executives said the
new law appears meant to force
suspension of operations by most
large companies.
The measure requires conces-
sionaires to turn over operational
information to the newly created
Cuban Petroleum Institute and
cancels all requests for new ex-
ploration and exploitation rights.
An exception is made for requests
to transfer existing concessions
from exploration to exploitation
status.
Royalty Levied
If firms cannot prove that drill-
ing is in progress, they lose their
concessiono.
The law also imposes a 60 per
cent royalty on production, based
on commercial rates; establishes
refinery production quotas, and
limits exploration concessions to
about 19,000 acres, far below acre-
ages held by some firms.
The oil measure follows up a
strict new minerals law. It pri-
marily affects three foreign opera-
tions-the United States owned
Esso Standard Oil and Texaco
Companies and the British-owned
Shell, Ltd.
Wants State Refineries
The government wants to install
state-owned refineries, and has
complained it loses millions in for-
eign exchange for gasoline pur-
chases. It recently put a heavy
license plate tax and surcharge
on imported cars to reduce oil
consumption.
