(AP) - FBI Direc- tor William Webster said yesterday there is evidence that Cuba is suppor- ting terrorist groups in foreign coun- tries, including the United States. But he also said. that although terrorist activities in the United States have increased, there is little evidence of foreign support for domestic terrorist groups. "MANY OF the propaganda manuals of the groups supporting the indepen- dence of Puerto Rico. are thought to have been printed in Cuba," Webster said during a conference on terrorism at the FBI academy here. "There are also strong indications of Cuban sup- port for Palestinian terrorist groups." Webster told a news conference the information on Cuban activities has been passed along by the CIA and most is classified. He declined to say if Cuba's involvement amounted to anything more thanrbeing a base for printing leaflets for outside terrorist groups. The FBI is hosting 250 represen- tatives of law enforcement agencies, including officials from agencies in nine foreign countries. WEBSTER WAS accompanied at the news conference by Col. Ulrich Wegener, head of West Germany's commando-style 9th Border Guard Group. Wegener said that recent Housing- ( alter 'U'd (Contined from Page3) triples at MSU did not allow at least 500 cubic feet of air space for each inhabitant - a requirement of the state code. A spot check of triples in Alice Lloyd revealed there to be more than the required amount of cubic air space. Furthermore, since most University dorm rooms have ceilings eight to nine feet high, it is probably that they won't comply with the cubtic space requirement. However, it seems that many of the specifics of the state code's restrictions havegone unnoticed up to now. "THE QUESTION in particular will be how will the universities respond?" said Jondahl. "I don't know if the U. of M. or other places are doing exactly the same things. But I knowthere may be pressure from various groups," he Cubans back terrorism abroad restrictions on American intelligence over-reacting to the dramatic increase escape punishment for their actions activities had not interfered with inter- in terrorist incidents.

According to Jondahl, a court case testing Kelley's statement is imminent. However, Kelley's chief assistant, Stanley Steinborn, disagrees. "I would think that universities would comply voluntarily," he said. CONTACTLENS ] BREAKTHROUGH Soft Contact Lens able to correct astigmatism FULL CONTACT LENS SERVICE Dr. Paul C. Usian THE QUESTION arose after the White House summoned four Soviet correspondents for what was described as a review of "credentialing procedures." The White House move followed recent harassment of U.S. journalists in Moscow, including the filing of slander charges against two American reporters. All reporters, like Pentagon em- ployees, must show official passes before being admitted to the building. Ross said Soviet correspondents "have the same access as anyone wIse who has a White House pass." He added that "my impression is that there are very limited visits to this building by the Soviet press."-No records are kept on such visits, Ross said. CERTAIN AREAS in the Pentagon, such as the National Military Com- mand Center and various intelligence offices, are off-limits to reporters and anybody else without a special pass. Visitors to such areas normally are escorted. So far as is known, Soviet reporters The coolest of the cool Bowling & Pinball of the UNION open'tii 1 a.m. tonight never have been allowed into such sen- sitive areas. Ross said he knew of no in- stance in which they have tried to enter such secure places in the Pentagon. Furthermore, he said, "I have not had a request from a Soviet journalist to see me personaly and I don't believe there has been a request to see anyone else." On rare occasions, information of- ficers said, reporters from the Soviet news agency Tass have telephoned them asking confirmation or comment on. stories already transmitted by wire services or in print. Soviet reporters sometimes appear at the Pentagon information office to pick up copies of press releases, including the unclassified annual statement of the defense secretary which goes to Congress each winter.
