The revo lutionary leader was as angry as he has ever been in public. "He who condemns a revolution like this one betrays Christ." Cas tro rasped. "They are not only traitors to Christ but to their peo ple and to the fatherland." "There is no doubt that the American Embassy has thrown into the battle its final pawns." he declared.

Castro attacked the "scribes and Pharisees who did not raise a voice to protest against the of Ihe church's highest ranking prelates baptized Ba tista's children, but at least one leading Catholic prelate, the Most Rev. Enrique Perez Serantes, archbishop of Santiago, once in tervened to save Castro's life from a Balista firing squad.) "Generous" Castro said that his govern ment has been "generous up to the maximum" in allowing the church Io continue to operate its own schools and has respected all creeds.

S. Embassy that American servicemen were involved in the killing of a suspected Filipino pil ferer at Clark Air Force Base last month. The incident grew out of a claim by a public prosecutor that Amer icans shot and killed, the suspect ed pilferer in cold blood after ar resting him. 'The untimely publication ot such incident without the benefit of thorough verification was cer tainly most distressing and is not conducive to the efforts of both governments to solidify further the bonds of friendship between the two countries," the Foreign Office said. The prosecutor has made sev eral similar charges in the past, Former V. S. Amhrasador Charles E. Bohlen last y'ar de manded an official refutation. The U. S. Embassy note to the for eign Office on Ihe latest incident was believed to have been along similar lines, and in slern lan guage. In Ihe background is the long standing Droblem of pilferage al the sprawling American base. from which a quarter of a mil lion dollars in supplies is stolen annually. The Philippine government sta tioned police constabulary troop ers at the base, to attempt to sloo Ihe systematic looting. The constabulary men said they shot and killed the suspected pilferer. JIOSCOW (AP)-The Soviet Un ion told Ihe U. S. Embassy today that an American tourist identi fied only as Robert Christner has been expelled from the Soviet Un ion as a spy.

The note charged lie had been sent to the Soviet Union in July to collect industrial and military intelligence. The note did not say when the expulsion took place. Tass, the official Soviet news agency, said the Foreign Minis try had warned the embassy against "exploiting tourists for in telligence purposes." It was the fifth case of Ameri can spying charged by the Soviets since Ihe downing of Francis Gary Powers' U2 plane May 1, and the second expulsion of an American citizen to be announced in as many days. Col. Edwin M. Kirton, Ihe U.S. Air Attache in Moscow, was or dered to leave the Soviet Union Wednesday. He was accused of organizing a spy apparatus and of photographing military instal lations.

The city of Roseburg Is going to open the fence which has kept many a wistful child from clam bering over the F86 jet fighter at Stewart Park. The aclion is being taken on a trial basis, however, starting next week. Ever since the city secured the plane from the Nevada Air Na tional Guard a year ago, the plane has been surrounded by a high wire fence to dissuade vandals. The city, however, has decided to allow the public to get a closer look at the plane during the day. The fence will be open during the hours when the Park Department is on duty and will be closed again at night. City Engineer Kenneth M e n g said, however, that it will he clos ed permanently if vandalism occurs. O&C Funds Given Credit For Surplus Roseburg's school district is m Ihe best financial shape in its his tory, it was reported today by Dis trict Clerk V. J. AliceUi. -Mieelli said his annual financial report shows lie district to hav. reduced its tax levy by 23.9 mills from 1959 while having the largest cash carryover in the district's his tory. 'Ihe school clerk credited the in crease of $20 per census child from the county school fund for part of the huge lax reduction, but added another $133,020 of the most recent reduction came from the cash car ryover fund. Mieelli explained that this $133,- ii-'U win still remain in the district s treasury for use during the cominir ear, but added its iust that much the taxpayers won't have to dig into their pockets to provide. Under Spending Cited He said the outstanding financial condition of the district is due in part to under spending on budgeted expenses and underestimates of in come when setting up last year's budget. Dropping the maintenance crew from the payroll and not hir ing as many teachers as had been anticipated figured heavily in the surpluses. The 1959 school year budget call ed for the district to receive $3, 055,331.94 in general fund receipts. The actual income in this fund hit $3,156,834.77, creating a surplus ot ?1U1,4SZ.&I. Showing up as not requiring as much money as budgeted were the following items: General control, dealing primar ily with the superintendent's office and staff, had been budgeted for $(13,139.50, but used only S60.819.4S, inereDy creating a $2,320.05 sur plus. Instruction, including teachers, principals, books, etc., had been budgeted for $1,594,241.10, but cost only $1,544,215.28, creating a sur plus ot $50,025.82. There was a surplus of $13,189.62 in the operation of the plant. Again, dropping the maintenance crew figured heavily in the pic ture, as mere was a $38,380.33 sur plus left in the maintenance and repair fund. Auxiliary Surplus Noted Total surplus in all auxiliary agencies came to $5,776.02. Other minor items broucht the total expenditures applicable di rectly to the schools to $2,422,892. 80. There had been $2,550,205.98 budgeted for these expenditures, so the surplus (or carryover) amount ed to $127,313.18. The district actually started into the current year with $344,062.46 in Uie cash carryover fund. The analysis at the end of the school's fiscal year, June 30. showed the district to have a tot al of $509,271.27 cash on hand. This included insurance receipts. The year-end figures showed the district to have received $327,818.03 from insurance policies, mostly due to the Aug. 7, 1959, blast. The district received $31,572.85 as a do nation from the state and collected $561.39 interest on invested funds. The district's fixed assets include $488,001 worth of land, $3,786,829.43 worth of buildings, $831,538.57 in furniture, $154,318.32 in textbooks and $108,731.66 in library books, for a fixed assets total worth of $5,-369,418.98. This brings the over-all finan cial value of the district, including cash on hand, taxes due, etc. to $,173,971.50. Yoon Bo-sun Favorite For S.
