LONDON Wl Prime Min
ister Harold Macmllllan began
his seventh year at the head
of Britain's government Thurs
day with problems crowding In
on him from every side.
The appointment book on his
desk at Admiralty House called
for a Cabinet meeting and con

the anniversary. '
There was little to celebrato.
Macmillan's political fortunes
are at a low ebb. It Is widely
assumed that If a national elec

Labor party. .
MacmlUan must make up his
mind soon whether to continue
efforts to take Britain into the
Common Market or withdraw
from this project before he
backs himself into a political

He must quiet critics Includ

must be held sometime before
October, 1064.

JFK Review
Cuban Issue
Hour-Long Session
Termed Cordial
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
Of the Associated Preii .
WASHINGTON U.S. officials
expressed hope Thursday that
periodic high level talks with
the ones now under way here,
will lead eventually to a break
through in improving East-West
relations.
Major Kennedy administra
tion hopes at the moment still
center on the possibility of get
ting an American-British agree
ment with the Soviet Union for
a nuclear weapons test ban. This
is due in part to the belief that
the widening split between the
Soviet Union and Red China
may Influence Soviet nuclear
test policy.
White House Talks
President Kennedy spent an
hour at the White House late
Wednesday with Soviet Deputy
Foreign Minister Vasily V. Kuz
netsov, who is scheduled to re
turn to Moscow in a few days.
Kuznetsov met with Secretary
of State Dean Rusk Thursday
and then lunched with Rusk and
other foreign policy officials at
the State Department.
Kuznetsov will have luncn
Friday with William C. Foster,
director of the U.S. disarmament
agency.
On leaving the White House
Kuznetsov said only that he
came from New York to Wash
ington at the President's invita
tion and that Kennedy and he
had discussed "some problems
of mutual Interest."
Cordial Atmosphere
White House Press Secretary
Pierre Salinger said the two
men and their aides met "in a
very cordial atmospnere ana
reviewed the recent negotiations
on the Cuban crisis which had
been conducted In New York.
U.S. officials said specific
subjects touched on by Kennedy
or Kuznetsov included disarma
ment and Berlin. It was report
ed that Kuznetsov brought up
the Berlin question, but for
what purpose was not disclosed.
Kuznetsov was invited to see
the President and Rusk, it is
understood, primarily because
U.S. leaders appreciated the dip
lomatic manner in which he had
handled the Cuban negotiations.
Deeper Purpose
The deeper purpose of the dis
cussions here is to try to find
some basis for clearing up out
standing problems troubling
East-West relations.
So far as Cuba is concerned
Kennedy Is known to be deter
mined to do all he can to get
the Soviet Union to withdraw
an estimated 17,000 military personnel.
On the Soviet side there is
known to be disappointment at
Kennedys refusal to give the
United Nations a formal no-
Invasion pledge. Kennedy's po
sition Is that this Is not possible
In view of Soviet Premier Khru
shchev's failure to make good
on his promise of Inspection in
Cuba of the removal of Soviet
rockets and bombers.

By ROGER LANE
Of the AnocUted Pteie
NEW YORK Because of the
East Coast dock strike workers
at a West Germany automobile
factory will get an enforved
two-day vacation next week.
Fifty thousand banana farm
ers in Ecuador, lacking insur
ance on their perishable crop,
half of which is sold in the
United States, are threatened
with ruinous losses.
A million tons of U.S. food
consigned as aid to foreign na
tions is dammed up in nearly
paralyzed ports from Maine to
Texas. , ,. ..
Losses to the domestic econ
omy alone are estimated at be
yond $400 million, and rising
$20 to $25 million a day. .
These are some of the effects
of the work stoppage that has
tied up general cargo at 41 At
lantic and Gulf coast ports since
Dec. 23.
The strike stemmed from a
contract dispute between 60,000
members of the AFL-CIO Inter
national Longshoremen's Assn.
and the New York Shipping
Assn., representing the shipping
industry.
Alexander P. Chopin, associ
ation chairman, ' appraised the
dollar cost domestically.
"It's like throwing a pebble
into a quiet lake," Chopin said.
"The longer the strike lasts,
the farther it ripples back into
the nation, squeezing off com
merce." .
In Chicago, the wholesale
price of bananas jumped $1.50
a 40-pound box to $5.25. Import
ed phonograph record players
were in short supply in New
York. Dealers in imported cars
ran low on, or out of, some pop
ular models.
In a New Orleans wharf shed,
a $150,000 shipment of government-owned
cheese lay exposed
to spoilage.
Chief sufferers so far have
been the payless dock and allied
maritime workers, port city
stores and taverns they patron
ize, steamship lines and import
export businesses.
No major industrial shut
downs were reported because of
inability to move goods from
factory sites, or store them.
Many businesses adjusted to
shipping and storage problems.
The day after the strike be
gan, rail shipments of general
cargo to affected ports was em
bargoed. Even so, more than 14,000
rail cars clogged yards and ap
proaches to the docks this week.
Two-thirds of them were filled
with grain for export elevators.
Elevators neared their work
ing capacity of 3.9 million bush
els in Philadelphia and 11.5
million bushels at New Orleans.
Oil, coal, sugar, ore and other
bulk materials movements were
affected little or not at all at
Boston, Norfolk and other ports.
This type cargo is loaded and
unloaded automatically with
out longshoremen labor.
Despite this, about 400 ships
were immobilized at pierside
and harbor anchorages, one
fourth of them at New York.
Talks continued here Thurs
day in efforts to settle the dis
pute between the dock union
and the New York Shipping
Assn., which represents 145
shipping and stevedoring com
panies. Over the years, contract
terms reached between the two
groups here traditionally set a
pattern for settlements in other
ports.
Assistant Secretary of Labor
James J. Reynolds, who met
separately with representative
of both sides Wednesday, re
ported no progress toward set
tlement.
Wages are a major issue in
the dispute. The union is seek
ing a package increase of 50
cents an hour, including 29
cents in wages, over two years.
The industry has offered 22
cents over two years. The pre
strike basic wage averager
$3.02 an hour.
