Killed in Skirmish
HAVANA, Cuba (P)-Armed reb-
els stormed into the presidential
palace yesterday in a bloody revo-
lutionary attempt to seize or kill
President Fulgencio Batista.
Twenty men were reported killed
in battle inside the palace.
Twenty others were reported
killed in scattered fighting outside
the palace.
Batista Survives
The 56-year-old President, a vet-
4 eran of violence, survived and di-
rected a successful tank-led coun-
terattack on rebel supporters out-
side the palace.
Fifteen out of about 40 invad-
Ing rebels and five palace guards
'were reported killed within ear-
shot, of Batista.
The attack on the palace appar-
ently was in two phases:
1) A 40-man invasion team to
tackle the palace guard and fight
into Batista's private quarters and
take him.
2) A covering armed force to
deploy in nearby buildings and
*keep up an outside attack.
The invasion force broke past
the guard and into the first floor
where Batista has offices He was
on the second floor finishing a late
luncheon with two Caoinet minis-
ters.
Heavy Firing
Heavy firing around the palace
lasted nearly three hours.
The government announced last
night the rebel forces at the pal-
ace had been beaten back and calm
prevailed throughout the island.
The group that invaded the pal-
ace apparently clashed with the
inner guard after storming the
outer gates, while others fired on
the palace from buildings nearby
in a concerted attack.
Students Armed
The general attack was made by
students armed with machine
guns, pistols, rifles and grenades
in the heart of Havana.
Police and army and navy forces
joined in a mop-up operation.
Tanks lined up in front of the
palace and extended a block be-
yofid in each direction.
Anti-Batista student organiza-
tions were the apparent leaders of
the attack.

A lively controversy has been
raging at Queens College, Flush-
ing, N.Y., over a recent ruling by
Provost Thomas V. Garvey that
Daily. Worker Editor John Gates
would not be allowed to speak on
campus today as scheduled.
According to The Rampart,
Queens College student newspaper,
Gates was invited by the Marxist
Discussion Group to participate
in Academic Freedom Week, slpcn-
sored by the Student Senate.
The invitation was later 'p-
proved by the Faculty Commit-
tee on Student Activities, but with
some reservations.
Lack of Balance
The committee noted a "lack of
balance" in the program, which in-
cludes appearances by civil rights
attorney Osmond Fraenk' and
Socialist Norman Thomas.
In prohibiting Gates' visit, Gar-
vey declared, "It would be unreal-
istic and inconsistent with the in-
tent of the by-laws and pertinent
resolutions of the Board of High-
er Education for us to bring to
this campus a person who was
convicted of conspiring to teach
the overthrow by force and vio-
lence of the very government
which we are obligated to up-
hold . ."
The Provost was referring to the
fact that Gates was indicted in
1949 for violation of the Smith Act
along with 10 other top Commun-
ists. He was later convicted.

Paid ;$5,000
3To Official'
WASHINGTON -(A) - Senate
probers produced evidence yester-
day the Teamsters Union paid a
mysterious $5,000 fee to the law-
yer for William M. Langley, in-
dicted district attorney of Port-
land, Ore.
Reginald Mikesell, secretary-
treasurer of Teamsters Council
No. 37 in Portland, testified he
signed the check but had no idea
what it was for.
"It does sound a little silly,
doesn't it?" Mikesell acknow-
ledged.
r Third Week
He was before a special Senate
committee investigating rackets,
now in the third week of an inves-
tigation of alleged links between
highly placed teamsters officials,
public officials and the Portland
underworld.
Sen. Karl Mundt (R-SD) said
he felt the $5,000 check was "a
rather important link that but-
tons this whole thing up" with al-
legations of "Langley working in
collusion" with teamsters officials
,and Tom Maloney, a Seattle gam-
bler,
The district attorney, a Demo-
crat and still in office, is under
indictment on charges of mal-
feasance and failure to conduct
prosecutions.
Records Destroyed
Mikesell told the senators the
records of Teamsters Council 37
probably won't show the purpose
of the payment to Langley's law-
yer because most of the books
and correspondence files from
mid-1954 onwards have been de-
stroyed - "to make more office
space."
This is the period under inves-
tigation by the senators.
Gilbert and Sullivan Society will
open its second production of the
year, "Princess Ida," at 8:45 p.m.
tonight in the Lydia Mendelssohn
theatre.
Performances will also be giv-

Saturday. There are only a few
tickets left for the weekend shows.
The operetta is a satire on a
women's college where all students
vow to "renounce mankind" and
devote themselves to "stern philo-
sophy".
Princess Ida, after her betroth-
al at the age of two years, se-

of men is preached. She later be-

turns against all mankind.
However, Prince Hilarion, her

to claim his wife and enters Adam-
ant disguised as a girl.
Inevitably, his masquerade is
discovered. The students, who have

DULLES:
'U.S. Force
Uses Atom'.
CANBERRA, Australia (-)-Sec-
retary of State John Foster Dulles
said last night American fighting
forces almost everywhere in the
world carry atomic weapons as "al-
most a normal part of their equip-
ment."
He did not specify whether
United States forces are equipped
with live atomic warheads, but it
has been disclosed previously that
the United States has stockpiled
such equipment at its NATO bases
in Europe.
Dulles jalso told the people al-
lied with the United States in
Southeast Asia that their danger
from Communist a'ttack is as great
as the present danger in the Mid-
dle East. He said this is true al-
though Red China has switched
from overt threats to a campaign
of subversion.
Dulles disclosed that the United
States and Australia both are con-
cerned that Soviet Russia may be
engaged in.-other activities in Ant-

of building scientific bases for the

CAIRO (P - Egypt apparently
has decided to restore her rule in

days.

United Nations Secretary General
Dag Hammarskjold is flying to
Cairo Saturday for consultations.
The Egyptian intention was re-
ported last night by an official of
the Palestine Department in Cairo
after UN Undersecretary Ralph
Bunche had a 90-minute confer-
ence with President Gamal Abdel
Nasser and a 45-minute talk with
Brig. Gen. Salah Gohar, director
of the department.
Maj. Gen. E. L. M. Burns, UN
commander. sat in on the talk
between Bunche and Gohar.
Egypt has Right
After his talk with Nasser,
Bunche made clear to newsmeri
that the UN was not disputing
Egypt's right under the 1949 arml
stice with Israel to administer the
former Palestine coastal area, nor
even attempting to postpone the
entry of Egyptian administrative
officials.
A series of mollifying moves by
UN officials had indicated, how-
ever, they hoped Nasser of his
own volition would delay the move
until tempers have had a chance
to cool,
Last night thousands of Gaza
Strip Arabs staged a demonstra-
tion in anticipation of the early
resoration of Egyptian rule. Crowds
paraded, shouting "Death to Is-
rael" and "Long Live Nasser."
Mounir el Rayess, the former
Egyptian-appobted mayor who
has been restored to his post in
Gaza City by UN forces, pleaded
with the crowds to avoid violence
and to behave "with dignity."
Israel Urges
Gaza Be Kept
From Egypt
WASHINGTON () - Israel ap-
pealed to the United States last
night to keep Egypt out of the
Gaza Strip as an object lesson that
no nation can break its Interna-
tional commitments.
Israel's Ambassador Abba Eban,
in a half-hour call at the State
Department, also told the United
States in effect that Israel feels
it has a moral commitment from
President Dwight D. Eisenhower
that Israel's withdrawal from Gaza
shall "not be in vain."
Purpose Told
The purpose behind the Israeli
action appeared to be to try to get
the United States to take a strong-
er stand concerning Egypt and
the Gaza Strip. In return the hope
seemed to be that United Nations
Secretary General Dag Hammar-
skjold also would be firmer.
Hammarskjold reported last Feb.
22 that Egypt was expected to re-
frain from ecercising its right un-
der the Palestine truce to patrol
the Gaza Strip. On the assumption
that this would hold up, Israel
agreed to withdraw from Gaza,
