Justice Parker ruled that if tho , 34-year-old defense corre spondent for the Daily Sketch changed his mind within ten days and names the source to a special tribunal investigating spying in the Admiralty the sen tence will be suspended.

The case is setting new Youths in Iran Clash Over Referendum TEHRAN, Iran W About 2,000 young workers invaded Tehran University with sticks and tree branches Thursday and beat up students posting pla cards denouncing the govern ment referendum this weekend. An unknown number of 'stu dents were injured. Before security forces ar rived, the workers had driven most of the students from the campus. The workers pulled down the placards and tore them up. The student placards charged that the referendum scheduled by the shah for Saturday is il legal. The ruler called the na tionwide vote to get popular en dorsement of reform programs he has started or is starting. The Iranian Parliament has been dis solved since May 1061. The reform programs include the distribution among the peas ants of largo land holdings, rental to the peasants of most shrine lands owned by Moslem religious groups, distribution to the workers of 20 per cent of the net profits from factories. Much of the opposition to the reforms stems from large land holders and religious leaders who will lose property and in come. However, government offi cials estimate the reforms are supported by 90 per cent of the population, including farmers, laborers, civil servants and se curity forces.

D i & i mi precedents in the centuries-old history of British jurisprudence. Clough can appeal to the House of Lords, which is the highest court of appeals in Brit ain. The contempt charge stemmed from Clough's refusal to tell the special tribunal the identity of the government source who told him that information supplied by Soviet Spy William John Vas sall enabled Russian trawlers to turn up at NATO naval maneu vers. Vassall, a former Admiralty employe, is serving an 18-year prison sentence. Clough told Parker Thursday that to name his source would be a breach of trust and a be trayal of his profession. 'The freedom of the press would be completely under mined," he said. 'I would be breaking a firm trust and I and all journalists feel passionately on this issue of the freedom of the press." Lord Parker said he had sym pathy for Clough, one of a group of journalists who have ap peared before the special tri bunal. "In the whole history of this court this has never arisen be fore seeking to compel some one in your position to reveal their sources of information," he told the newsman. But Lord Parker ruled that Clough either would have to give the name of his informant or be held in contempt. The chief justice said the man's name was relevant to the spy tribunal's work and further that the press had no special right to immunity against dis closing sources.

Another 1,170 Cuban refugees, many pale from seasickness after a night on heavy seas, found asylum Friday in the United States. The American freighter Shir ley, Lykes brought them to Port Everglades, the port of Fort Lauderdale, and to a free way of life for which they had sac rificed all their material pos sessions. Many were old, in poor condi tion, and torn by conflicting emotions. They were happy to escape from Cuban Prime Min ister Fidel Castro's Communist state, but sad to leave their na tive land. Some of the aged and the ill who had walked aboard the ship in Cuba were taken off on stretchers on the orders of Dr. Benning Lary, Miami surgeon who rode the vessel. The Shirley Lykes brought the human cargo back in the space which had been used to deliver 7,000 tons of ransom supplies to Cuba in exchange for the Bay of Pigs captives Estes Given 8-Year Term TYLER, Tex.

DI 2-3416 who were released just before Christmas. A staff of Red Cross nurses had worked through the night administering to the sick, most of whom were stricken by sea sickness. Because her load was light, and she rode high in the water, the freighter pitched and rolled badly in eight-foot seas. The high ratio of sickness was attributed to the emotional state of the Cubans and their lack of hot food before leaving Cuba. "This is like emerging from a dungeon into fresh air," said Felipe Latour y Bravo, one of the refugees. "There is hunger in Cuba and no freedom. We are going to start life anew in the United States." Most of the refugees were relatives of the 1,113 invasion prisoners. They were kept below decks In close, smelly holds from the time of boarding until after the ship reached Florida. Leaving Havana harbor, they asked repeatedly to be permit ted a last glance at their native country, but the requests were denied because of the possibil ity of dangerous overcrowding of the rails. One of the reasons for the continuing flight from Cuba was poignantly expressed dur ing the boarding In Havana har bor Thursday night. "Thank God, thank God," cried an elderly woman as she fell to her knees on the freight er's deck. 1 - "No," said a member of the Cuban Red . Cross standing at the top of the gangway, "Thank Fidel." The American Red Cross had expected to take back 800 to 900 persons, but 1,170 showed up 390 men, 527 women and 253 children.
