A the final tally of Satur

public, the shah broadcast a
message thanking the nation for
the "positive and definite an
awer to his appeal.
, "My dear nation . . . from

?V7ith the help of God we shall
make a country rivaling the
most progressive in the word.
The chains of bondage are
broken."

" The shah termed his new
program of social reform a "le
gal revolution," which he said
tiow been definitely approved
without bloodshed.
Iranian women voted for the

women cast votes.

.would be enfranchised, the shah
laid in his radio address, "men
and women of Iran will hence

the shah aligned himself with
-workers and peasant against the
conservative class of wealthy,
feudalists landlords and religi
ous leaders who long have dom
inated Iran.
Boycott Move Falls
Landowners, businessmen,
Moslem religious leaders and
politicians of the National
Front, once led by Mohammed
F. Mossadegh, had called for a
boycott of the referendum after
provoking riots before the bal
loting Saturday. The boycott
call had little effect.
About 200 followers of Mossa
degh picketed the White House
in Washington Sunday to pro
test the referendum as "undem
ocratic and unconstitutional."
The shah called the referen
dum to get approval of these six
laws:
A land reform program
which thus far has distributed
more than 2 million acres of
farmland among 52,112 families.

MIGs, Troops Called
'Defensive' by Rusk
WASHINGTON W The So
viet Union has placed four
heavily armed combat groups in
Cuba and Soviet pilots there are
flying MIG fighters capable of
carrying nuclear weapons, says
Secretary of State Dean Rusk.
The continued presence of So
viet armed forces on the island
is a "matter of real concern" to
the United States, Rusk said
Sunday night. But he hewed to
the administration line that the
Red forces essentially are de
fensive in nature.
The best U.S. intelligence
guess, Rusk said in a radio and
television interview, is that
there are no nuclear warheads
in Cuba. He added, "We have
had some indication from the
Soviet Union" that at least por
tions of the combat forces and
missiles "will be removed In
due course."
Rusk gave no hint that there
is any U.S. deadline for Soviet
troop removal from Cuba. He
said there has been some "out
traffic" in recent weeks and de
clared: "It must be our policy
that penetration of this hemis
phere by a Communist regime
from outside is unacceptable to
this hemisphere."
MIG fighters have been enter
ing Cubi for many months,
Rusk said. He also confirmed
reports that Soviet pilots are
training Cubans to fly them.
Commenting on the Soviet
combat groups on the Island,
Rusk described them as "rela
tively small" but, nonetheless,
"a matter of some real con
cern." Several Congress members,
primarily Republicans, contend
Soviet military power in Cuba
is increasing dangerously. The
situation was the subject of a
Senate inquiry last week and
another Senate probe will be
held shortly.
Rusk was to testify Monday
on Soviet military activity in
Cuba before the House Foreign
Affairs Committee.
Over the weekend an intelli
gence summary circulated
among top U.S. officials report
ed that since last fall's crisis
only one Soviet ship has put in
at a Cuban port with a "signifi
cant amount" on military equip
ment. The summary left little doubt
that the Soviet Union has as
sembled very heavy conven
tional fire-power in Cuba, but
maintained the buildup was
achieved between July and October.
Red Papers Merge
ROME Iff) Rome had one
less newspaper Monday.
Two pro-Communist dailies,
the morning IL Paese and the
afternoon Paese-Sera, merged.
Double Explosion Shatters Windows
NEW YORK (DPD A double
explosion Sunday night shat
tered some 40 windows and tore
loose paving stones in the
Washington Market area of
downtown Manhattan.
Officials said .the blasts ap
parently were touched off when
melting snow and salt dripped
into the utility company vaults
under the street containing
electrical equipment.
