The death of Crosland leav-

As Crosland's condition wors-
ened during the week, specula-1
tion grew over his replacement.'
Prime Minister James Calla-'

Cuba relations
HAVANA - The Cuban press
is maintaining total silence on
recent United States - Cuban
developments, but the C u b a n
government clearly hopes they
signal a chance to improve re-
lations with its big northern
neighbor.
Cuban news media complete-
ly ignored a visit this past week
by New York Democratic con-
gressman Jonathan Bingham.
The Foreign Ministry has de-
clined to comment on President
Carter's statement Wednesday
that he "would be willing to
move toward normal relations
with Cuba" if it showed re-
straint abroad and respect for
human rights at home.
Still, these and other recent
developments appeared to be
common knowledge among Cu-
ban citizens - many of whom
listen to the Voice of America
and to Florida commercial ra-
dio stations.

their Cuban neighbors are iree-
ly discussing Bingham's v i, i tI
and Carter's comments about
Cuba. A visiting American en-'i
gaging Cubans in casual con-
versation is repeatedly told of
their hope for a resumption of
normal relations "provided we
can stick with our principles."
That's also the government
view.
Translated, it means Cuba is,
unlikely to accept tough Amer-9
ican political terms as a pr:ce
for resumption of normal rela-
tions, broken since the last days
of the Dwight D. Eisenhower
administration in January 1961.I

said in turn he would ease the
burden of paperwork the gov-1
ernment requires from them.

son said.

Highway repair
WASHINGTON - Ameriia's
federal highways are wearing
out faster than they are being
repaired, in part because fed-
eral overseers have not enforc-
ed rules which require states to

own leadership.
The governor's intense inter-
est in getting McLaughlin re-
elected, and the fact that he
literally made it a contest be-
tween himself and Edwards,
pointed to the fact that he is
looking at his image and his
party's structure for 1978.
The governor, however, niain-
tamed that he has not yet de-
cided whether to run again.
"I didn'tmean one way or
the other to tip my hand," he
told reporters.
Milliken said he was pleas-
ed with the outcome of the con-
test, even though the closeness
of the final tally was viewed as
an embarrassment to him.
EGOP favors
death penalty
DETROIT - Michigan Repub-
licans have gone on rec.rd in
favor of instituting capital pun-
ishment as an optional penalty
for first degree murder.
The Michigan GOP adopted
the stance on a 572-267 voce Sa-
turday at its mid-term c nven-
tion.
The state Republicans said
Michigan should institute the op-
tional death penalty because it
could help deter serious crime.
Gov. William Milliken, the ti-
tular head of the state Repab-
lican Party. says he is against
the death penalty.
The GOP also adopted a plat-
form resolition pledging i t s
simport of a statewide petition
drive to require persons con-
victed of violent crimes to serve
at least their minimum ienten-
ces before becoming eligible for
parole.
That resolution was adopted
on a resounding voice vote. Wits

opposition.

The proposal was rejected on
a close voice vote.

It urged the agency to make a
