Texel is one of The Netherlands' Frisian Islands which has been marooned from the mainland by ice and snow as the European continent remained locked by one of the bitterest winters in memory. Resurrection of Cuban Fiasco Pains Demos DeQaulle, Market PutBritain'Onlce' PARIS Wl French President Charles de Gaulle agreed Wednesday to put the problem of Britain's entry into the Euro pean Common Market on ice for the time being. Reliable sources said De Gaulle at a final half-hour talk with West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer, agreed to Adenauer's proposals that the executive commission of the European Eco- Somic Community make a thorough new study of the problems of ritish entry and submit its recommendations to the foreign ministers of the six Common Market countries. There would be no time limit for completion of the study, but I it is expected to take Katangese Stronghold Still Tense By JACK BELL Of the Anoclaced Presi WASHINGTON The contro versy over the failure of the 1961 Cuban invasion has flared up again. The Senate Republican leader ship announced Tuesday it would begin an independent in vestigation of the U. S. backed assault on the Bay of Pigs, and Democrats immediately raised a cry of "politics." In Miami, some Cuban exile leaders took issue with Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy's state ment that the United States never promised air cover for the invasion, Dagoberto Darias, head of an invasion veterans organization and a commander of one of the assault transport ships, charged Tuesday that President Kennedy betrayed the Cuban people, even though "his brother is attempt ing to justify him on the Bay of Pigs fiasco." Jets in the Air He said jets were in the air on invasion day and that he had received a message from "the American flagship directing our operations advising that air cover would be forthcoming at 2:30 p.m. "We saw the first two planes pass in the direction of Giron Beach (invasion point)," he said. "A minute later two other jets crossed, but the next minute, the first ones returned, like sea gulls fleeing from a storm." Senate Republican Leader Ev erett M. Dirksen of Illinois said Wednesday he is already gather ing information on the crushed invasion and would lay it before the Senate Republican Policy Committee within two weeks. The committee, he said, gave him clearance to begin the investigation., Dirksen's aim obviously was KOLWEZI. Katanga Thousands of Katanga soldiers slipped into the bush with their weapons as the United Nations Wednesday began disarming President Moise Tshombe's forces. The situation remained tense despite the peaceful capitula tion to the United Nations of the last stronghold in the rebel lious province. The Katanga commander asserted that the war was not over. Villa Guarded , Tshombe himself reported he had been "attacked by some mercenaries" the white offic ers of his armed forces and was granted an armed guard. Ho told newsmen he was re turning immediately to Kllsa bethvillc, Katanga's capital, to carry on as provincial president. Tshombe s villa here was guarded by a company of his own para-commandos, still bear ing modern automatic weapons. Tshombo did not go into de tails about the attack on him. He was given a small escort of Indian officers for his re turn to t'lisabcthville. In an impromptu news con ference, Tshombe expressed satisfaction with the U.N. oper ation and the peaceful occu pation of Kolwezi, an important mineral center. Eye Infection Asked if the central Congo lese government had signed an amnesty law, Tshombe said: do my duty and have already started implementing the V Thant plan (for Congo unity) regardless of what others are doing." Tshombe was in obvious pain from an eye infection. Although thousands of Katan- Kan gendarmes have left, thou sands more are lingering here, waiting for orders from their superiors. U. N. troops arc not allowed in the town, but the civilian population seems re lieved to have them at least on the outskirts. Jackson to Get Chairmanship WASHINGTON lfl Sen Clinton P. Anderson. D-N.M. has announced he will give up his chairmanship of the Senate Interior Committee to head up the Senate's increasingly impor tant Committee on Space. His decision clears the way for the appointment of Sen. Henry M. Jackson, D-Wash., to take over the interior chairman ship when the Democratic Steer ing Committee meets within a few days to approve new assign ments. Anderson passed up the Space Committee rhairmanship two years ago when the late Sen. Robert S. Kerr. D-Okla., suc ceeded Lyndon B. Johnson, now vice president, in that post. some months. Adenauer left for Bonn after his talk with De Gaulle, ending a three-day visit to Paris during which he signed a comprehen sive treaty for French -West German cooperation in diploma cy, defense, education and cul ture. It is designed to bury the age-old enmities of the two countries. De Gaulle's opposition to Brit ish membership in the Common Market posed a major problem In Fronch-Wcst German coop eration even before the treaty was signed. West Germany fa vors Britain's entry into the economic community. West Germany also has en dorsed President Kennedy's pro posal for a multinational nu clear force for the North At lantic Treaty Organization. De Gaulle opposes it. Adenauer's proposal to trans fer the Common Market issue from the negotiating table to the study stage is designed to prevent a dramatic rupture in Brussels Monday, when the six nations are to take up a French i demand that the British applica-1 tinn for membership be shelved indefinitely. Tho other four members of the community Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and Italy have Joined West Ger many In opposing De Gaulle's stand. The French agreement to sub mit the Common Market dispute to the study commission did not commit France to accept any of the commission's recommenda tions. De Gaulle was said to feel tha tthc study would support his contention that Britain is not ready for full membership in tho Common Market. Payroll to Be Cut WASHINGTON (UPD The De fense Department said Tuesday it plans to eliminate 9,818 civil ian jobs in the 12 months be ginning next July 1, reducing its total meploymcnt from 1,064, 983 to 1,053,165. It said the re ductions would be brought about by not filling vacancies when they occur. to assemble evidence to rebut Atty. Gen. Kennedy's recent re view of "mistakes" made in the assault. Dirksen said only that he was interested in learning if the President's brother "told the entire factual story." But Sen. Barry Goldwatcr, R Ariz., con tended in the Senate that Ken nedy's summary was "a cleanup operation designed to make the worst mistake of the Presi dent's career seem like some-' thing entirely different." . Purpose to Blame Ike "The purpose is to attach a major portion of the blame for the invasion at the feet of the Eisenhower administration," he added. The White House declined to comment on the investigation. There was no comment from the attorney general. Dirksen said Republicans ; agree that the advance work for j the invasion was done during I the administration of former j President Dwight D. Eisenhow-r er. But he said the carrying out I of the operation "is a matter of such importance that it cannot he left in doubt as to facts." Democrats responded that the Republicans were trying to play politics in international mat ters. Sen. J. W. Fulbright, D-Ark., chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations committee, said it "has a strong partisan aura." "Any conclusion they reached ! would be considered quite par tisan," he said. "I doubt very seriously that any objective find ings will come out of it." 'Full Responsibility Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey of Minnesota, the assistant Demo cratic leader, said: "President Kennedy has taken full respon sibility for the failure at the Bay of Pigs. This is no longer a matter of partisan consideration. "I wonder when the Republi cans will assume their share of responsibility for Castro and his Communist comrades in the late 1950s. This should make a very Interesting investigation." The GOP investigation seemed certain to focus on Atty. Gen. Kennedy's contention that the United States had never prom ised to provide air cover for the invasion. Darias is not the only Cuban Exile in Miami to maintain that an air cover bad been promised. Such a claim also was made by Manuel Antonio de Varona, a leader in the Cuban Revolu tionary Council in whose name the invasion was launched. Assurance From Officer ' Varona, a former Cuban prime minister, said a U.S. Army colo nel who commanded the camp where Cubans trained for the assault assured him in February 1961 that there would be "full air control." Darias, who said he had been chief officer of the Rio Escon dido and swam to safety when it sank, said "when the invasion started, 22 jets with our war insignia and the Cuban banner flew over our boats. This proves that they were prepared to give us air cover." Last week a group of Cuban invasion leaders visiting the at torney general indicated to newsmen that no U.S. air cover had been pledged, saying "we had our own planes." Dirksen will be operating without subpena power in as sembling evidence. He indicated that any new information might be turned over to the Senate Internal Security subcommittee, of which he is a member. The security subcommittee is headed by Sen. James 0. East land, D-Miss., whose affinity to the Kennedy administration is less than strong. Eastland de clined comment. Kennedy Thanks Argentine Envoy WASHINGTON l.TV President Kennedy thanked Argentina Tuesday for Its cooperation with the United States during the October crisis over Soviet mis siles in Cuba. Argentina's foreign minister, Carlos Manuel Muniz, reported Kennedy's expression of grati tude after his visit to the White House. Muniz, in the United States as the official guest of Secre tary of State Dean Rusk, told newsmen that he and the Presi dent discussed a wide range of topics, some related to U. S. Argentina affairs and olhcrs to hemispheric matters. Officials Reveal Convict's Death ny AssoriATrn prkss McNeil Island Federal Peni tentiary near Tacoma Tuesday announced the death of convict Edgar liobert Errion, 57, form erly of Salem. Errion was serving a 12-year prison term imposed in 1957 after pleading guilty to viola tion of the Security and Ex change Act and to mail fraud. He was one of five persons ac cused of swindling stockholders of the Mt. Hood llardboard and Plywood Cooperative in Esta cada out of $550,000.
