"Cuba Is a completely Impossi ble place," said one man, a mem ber of two groups totaling 11 per sons to arrive separately Friday after fleeing the island in two small boats. The refugees were the first to reach this country since the lifting of the Cuban quarantine. Tha two groups fled Cuba four days apart and entered Florida at two different points Key West and Pompano Beach. The six sat in Uie Cuban refu gee center here Friday.

"Even sugar is in short supply." They said "Castro must be ov erthrown. The people can't go on much longer. "But they know he is dominat ed by the Russians, and they now recognize him as a mere pup pet" Three men Orlando Sarmien tn, Gervasio Perez and Gusto Crux set out last Tuesday in an 18-foot motorboat and were in tercepted near Key West about 27 hours later by the U.S. destroyer jl, K. Perry. They were trans ferred to a Coast Guard vessel and brought to Key West.

Burkhalter against the defeated gubernatorial candidate. Superior Judge Leon T. David set Dec. 3 to hear the arguments on a demurrer claiming the com plaint does not constitute a cause of action. Nixon's lawyers. Frank De Marco and Robert H. Finch, de clared that a televised remark by the former vice president that he "wouldn't endorse Burkhalter for dogcatcher" was a personal opin ion and therefore not libelous. Burkhalter, a Democrat, filed the suit against Nixon the day be fore election as a result of the remark made by Nixon on a five hour telethon Nov. 3.

Kennedy also has another sur vey trip set for Dec. 7 when he will visit nuclear and space instal lations in the southwest and west ern sections of the country. He will be accompanied Mon day by Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and heads of each of Uie armed services. Because of the Monday trip, Kennedy will leave Cape Cod late Sunday, spend Sun day night at the White House and leave at 8:30 a. m. EST Monday from Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington. Purpose of the Monday trip, as announced by Acting Press Secre tary Andrew T. Hatcher, will be to pay a personal call on officers and men alerted during the re cent Cuban crisis. Kennedy cancelled his plans to attend the Harvard-Yale football game at Cambirdge, Mass., be cause of a weather report which forecast rain for the area this afternoon. It would have been his first Harvard-Yale game attend ance since taking office. While there has not been a can cellation of the full alert in the Florida keys where military strength was massed during the earlier phases of the crisis, many of the units will be returning to their home bases in the near fu ture. The President wanted to see them on their alert stations before their departure. There seemed to be little like lihood of new developments here this weekend on the President's "highly probable" meeting with British Prime Minister Harold MacMillan. Kennedy returns to Washington Monday and a decision on when and where to meet the prime min ister for a year-end check-up on world affairs may be made shortly thereafter. Kennedy and Macmillan last met in Washington in April of this year. They also met in Bermuda last December. JFK, Macmillan meet planned LONDON (UPI) Diplomatic sources said today President Ken nedy and Prime Minister Harold Macmillan probably will meet late this year or early in 1983. Bermuda was considered the most likely meeting place. Arrangements for the meeting are being worked out, and an of ficial announcement is expected early next week, the source said. Present plans are for the meet ing to be held in the week before Christmas, between Dec. 19 and 22. An alternative date would be the first week in January. If the two men meet in Ber muda on the earlier date, the President could proceed from there to his Florida home for the Christmas holiday. There was growing diplomatic speculation also that Macmillan would seek a meeting with French President Charles de Gaulle before going to see Kenne dy. This meeting, if it is approved, probably would be held in Paris during the weekend of Dec. 15-16. No firm arrangements have been made. Leaders of the North Atlantic Alliance plan a meeting in Par is Dec. 13-15 at which Secretary of Stale Dean Rusk will be pres ent. Its findings would offer a basis for a review of Allied de fense problems at Macmilian's proposed conferences with Ken nedy and De Gaulle.

"The purpose of my visit is simple," Sandys said. "It is to 59th Year Union turns down plan by Lockheed . BURBANK, Calif. (UPI) - Ne gotiations between Lockheed Air craft Corp. and the International Association of Machinists re mained deadlocked today despite the company's new plan aimed at ending a strike set for Wednes day. Robert Simpson, national union representative, said at a press conference Friday the scheduled strike "seems inevitable but I don't think it will be a long one." Lockheed's proposal to avert the strike was outlined in a statement issued by Courtland S. Gross, chairman of the board, and D. J. Haughton, president of Lockheed. It consisted of three steps. Intensive negotiations would be carried out by the bargaining committee until midnight Tuesday if necessary to reach complete agreement before the strike called for Wednesday. If complete agreement cannot be reached, the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service would conduct an election on the full company offer prior to Dec. 14. The union would withdraw its notice of contract termination to facilitate such an election on the full company offer. According to the Lockheed state ment, the election "would avoid a strike that would be harmful to the employes, the company, the community, the country and even to the union. "It would result in an agree ment on a favorable new contract that would provide over-all wages and benefits as good as any in the aerospace industry." Simpson said "the union flatly rejects the company's proposal as it contains nothing new." "It is only a device to evade bargaining within the framework of the recommendations of the President's aerospace panel. Com pany arrogance has reached a new high," Simpson said Lockheed has refused to agree to a vote by employes on a union demand for a union shop. But company spokesmen said the pro posed vote on the full company offer "could end this dispute once and for all." Earlier Friday, labor leaders accused Lockheed of financing company "propaganda" with mon ey which eventually will be de frayed with funds from taxpayers. Woman struck crossing street PRINEVILLE Mrs. Birdie Norton, 81, was in fair condition at Pioneer Memorial Hospital to day with fractures of the leg and shoulder. She was struck by a car about 5 p.m. Friday at W. Third and Maple while crossing the street in front of a supermarket. Driver of the vehicle was John Bastanero of N. Main Street. He was charged by a city policeman with failure to yield right of way to a pedestrian in a crosswalk. He will appear Monday in city court. Mrs. Norton is a pioneer resi dent of the Post and Prineville areas. time to decide whether to appeal to the U. S. Supreme Court. She will appear in court in Madras Nov. 30 for resetting of her execution date. "I guess she'll get the official word when the deputies come to pick her up to take her back for the court hearing," the warden said. Miss Freeman, however, has a radio and television in her isola tion cell, and probably learned of the stay a short while after it was granted.

Rodt Bicycles Janet and Carol saw part of Europe from bicycles, but most of the continent was seen from trains, on European rail passes. Their visits reached from Den mark and Sweden in the north to Rome, Vienna and Venice in the south, and included a swing over the channel for visits in Scotland and England. What was the most interesting country they visited? Janet and Carol were unanimous in their vote for Portugal, because of its middle-ages atmosphere. The girls returned to their home here Wednesday, and are making plans to enter Central Oregon College. They are both Bend High i School graduates. Their father is director of music in the Bend school system. WEATHER Scattered rain tonight; clearing Sunday; highs 40-45; lows 35-40.

In Rawalpindi, Pakistan, Pres ULLETIN 1962 Ten Cents Plunge earlier a Viscount ELLICOTT CITY, Md. (UPI) -Investigators are wondering if the solution of Friday's mysterious fatal plunge of a United Air Lines Viscount lies in Uie freakish fate of another Viscount that crashed nearly three years ago because of multiple engine failure. Thirteen passengers and four crew members died in Frida, 's crash, which occurred in bright, sunny weather a few moments after the plane had been cleared for final approach to Washington National Airport. The overwhelming majority of eyewitness reports on Friday's crash of the Newark-Washington plane told of apparent engine trouble, followed by an almost- vertical dive to earth like a run away elevator. Significantly, there was no long swath of clipped trees in the wooded area vherc the prop-jet fell, and all ' the wreckage was concentrated in a relatively small space. , Resembles Earlier Story Its final actions with engines making "a funny noise" followed by a sudden dive to the ground closely resembled the story of that earlier ViscounL It was a Capital prop-jet bound for Norfolk, Va., from Washing ton on the night of Jan. 18, I960. At 8.000 feet over Holdcroft, Va., all four engines sputtered and quit. The pilot got one engine re started just before the plane pan caked into the ground, killing all 50 aboard. Wreckage distribution was startingly similar to Friday's accident, and eyewitnesses again cited apparent engine trouble. Nearly two years later, the CAB issued a report on the Hold croft crash that blamed engine icing for Uie multiple power fail ure. It also blamed Capital for not paying attention to a warn ing from Vlckcrs, the plane's British manufacturer, Uiat the Viscount's Rolls-Royce engines could ice up at higher tempera tures than were believed possible. Capital crews were not advised of a Vickcrs bulletin suggesting that de-icing equipment bo turned on sooner than Capital's flight man uals recommended. Icing did not appear to be in volved in Friday's Maryland backing sought WASHINGTON (UPI) - Ortho dox Jewish leaders considered resolutions today aimed at putting 3,100 of America's synagogues on record in favor of federal aid to public and private religious schools. A group of Uie union's officials headed by President Moses I. Fcurstein of Brookline. Mass., successfully managed Friday to block a resolution opposing fed eral aid to private schools. The defeat of the rcsoluUon could herald a significant change in Jewish thinking on the subject. Resolutions are expected to be offered Sunday favoring some forms of federal aid but opposing "across-the-board" federal loans grants. The Orthodox Jews spend more than 125 million a year to operate 275 day schools with about 54.000 children. This figure docs not in clude funds for capital expansion. The Jews rank third behind no- man Catholic and Lutheran insti tutions in operation of private school systems. TEMPERATURES High yesterday, 47 degrees. Low last night, K degrees. Sunset today, 4:31.

This is a modificaUon of Fri day's forecast, which called for more than normal moisture in the area, with snow a possibility. There is still a chance of some snow in Uie Cascades. However, until that snow comes, ski facilities at Bachelor Butte will be idle. Not enoueh snow has yet fallen on the higher slopes to permit use of the double ski lifts. Rains earlier in the week beat down the snow that had reached a depth of about three feet on the higher slopes.

Victory seen forDe Gaulle on Sunday PARIS UPI) President Charles de Gaulle's party VXlay appeared headed for overwhelm ing victory in Sunday's elections, despite gains predicted for the powerful Communists. The results could make the 72-year-old president France's most powerful "strong man" since Na poleon. Soundings from across the coun try indicate Frenchmen will vote as Uiey did last Sunday, when they upset predictions to give the Gaulllst union for the New Re public a solid boost towards an absolute majority in Uie national assembly. The UNR won 42 scats on Uie opening day of Uie two-day elec tion for France's lower house. Only Uie Communists, who won 10 seats, showed gains among Uie other parties. Sunday's elections are for the 369 scats remaining hi the 482- seat chamber. The UNR is ex pected to wind up with at least 188 scats and have a solid ma jority with its allies.
