CENTRAL OREGON'S DAILY NEWSPAPER 60th Year Eight Pages Bend, Deschutes County, Oregon, Saturday, May 11, 1963 Ten Cents No. 133 Castro hopes U.S. relations THE bib mm improve NEW YORK (UPI) - Premier Fidel Castro said in a taped in terview televised Friday night he hope relations will improve be tween Cuba and the United States, and between Russia and Red China. Castro indicated that he' thought Cuban-U.S. differences should be discussed at a meet ing between himself. President Kennedy and Soviet Premier Ni fcita Khrushchev. Concerning Moscow's ideologi cal dispute with Peking, Castro said the Cuban "position must be to struggle in order to strength en and improve the relations be tween these two great countries of the socialist camp." The interview was conducted in Havana two weeks ago by Lisa Howard, reporter for the Ameri can Broadcasting Co., and was aired on a special ABC television news show. Castro evaded questions about the presence of Soviet troops in Cuba by insisting that all Rus sian personnel there were "tech nicians", or "experts." He said "in the present circum stances, and until we are truly and sincerely assured of a policy of peace towards us, we will have need of those technicians to train our personnel and our armed forces." Castro added: "I think that if we are attacked those technicians are going to fight with us against any aggressor." Had No Alternative When the United States sus pended trade with Cuba, Castro said, his country "had no other alternative from the economic standpoint than to tighten its eco nomic relations with the Soviet Union." Castro admitted that he thought his revolution "would have been a radical revolution" even if the United States had accepted such Cuban actions as the expropria tion of American property, r 'But, naturally believe, that R arKl taoattl attitude of the United States that contributed to tnaking it more radical," he said. Castro also said that he would be willing to discuss the subject of expropriations with firms whose property in Cuba was con fiscated. "If they want to speak with us about indemnification, in honora ble conditions for Cuba and the United States, we can speak," he said. Castro said that such recent de velopments as the administration crackdown on Cuba exile raids and the various prisoner ex changes have helped to relieve tensions between Washington and Havana. JFK, Pearson continue talks HYANNIS PORT, Mass. (UPI) The recent heat in U.S.-Canadi-an relations appeared to be sub siding today when President Ken nedy and Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson resumed their conviv ial conference beside Nantucket Sound. Fidel Castro's Cuba and socio economic efforts to halt the spread of communism in the Western Hemisphere were high on the Kennedy-Pearson agenda as they met in the Chief Execu tive's daoboard cottaee here. The conference atmosphere was one of amiability, quite unusual for a meeting of this caliber. The two principals attended a press cocktail party Friday night and vied with eacn otner in spreaa fn charm and neiehborliness. Th mood of the meeting, as de termined by outsiders, was set in Pearsons recently successful J4ion camDaien which unseat ed the incumbent John Diefen- baker. Reflect Cordial Attitude Canadian sources felt Fridav's long meeting produced a new area of rapprochement m rela tions with the United States. The trim was reflected bv the prin cipals, each of whom reported the meetings were proceeding in "fine" fashion.

Overhulse committee may pass out income tax bill for Senate action Monday SALEM (UPI)-The Senate Tax Committee may pass out its ver sion of the major income tax bill Monday, Chairman Boyd Over hulse, D-Madras, told UPI late Friday. The announcement gave rise to the belief that the Senate version was hammered out at a series of informal, unannounced meetings that wore not attended by re porters. Overhulse told UPI on several occasions on Thursday and Fri day that he was not going to call Senate tax meeting because committee members had "con flicts" with other work. Late Friday he admitted the tax committee had held an "in formal" session Thursday. The two-hour meeting broke up about 6:30 p.m. No newsmen were pres ent at the unscheduled meeting. At noon Friday Overhulse said there would be no Senate tax meeting until Monday. That afternoon UPI discovered Overhulse, Senate Tax Committee counsel Evelyn Scott, House Tax Committee Chairman Rep. Rich ard Eymann, D-Marcola, House Tax advisor Forrest Amsden and Sunshine is forecast for area Sunday Sunny weather Sunday is the forecast for the Bend area.

This brought to 1.23 inches the total recorded at the Bend weather sta tion in the first 10 days of the month. The normal for May here is 1.12 inches. Through the years. May has been one of the damper months in Central Oregon, with as much as 3.76 inches recorded one month. in May, 1945.

'UPI) -There was Private Daniel J. Arthur peacefully guarding his own pri vate make-believe mine field. And there, on all sides of him, were 40,000 soldiers on maneuvers armed with very real ammuni tion "I was kind of happy being away from everybody." said Ar thur, who had not been told to leave his guard post Thursday in Excrrise Coulee Crest, lareest peacetime maneuver in the West several others in the Senate Tax Committee meeting room. When asked by UPI if the group was holding another informal tax session, Overhulse replied, "No, we are discussing another mat ter." About two hours later Overhulse admitted the group had discussed the "Green Belt Law," but said the major income bills had not been discussed. Agreement Sought The "Green Belt" bill, which has passed the House and is now in the Senate Tax Committee, grants property tax relief to farm ers in areas adjacent to cities, the Senate may be proposing changes, and seeking agreement with the House tax people before sending the bill to the Senate for action. No reporters were present for Friday's discussion of the "Green Belt" measure. House Speaker Clarence Barton said he was unaware of any "in formal meetings between House and Senate tax officials, and said he would not agree to allow House members to participate in secret sessions. The last open meeting of the Senate Tax Committee was held Wednesday afternoon. Some dis cussion of the House-approved in come tax measure was held at that time. Most of the meeting was devoted to other bills, how ever. Because of the apparent wide gap between Senate and House feeling on the major revenue bill, newsmen have been waiting for the Senate group to begin public discussion of its plans. Overhulse said Friday evening the committee had gotten some revenue figures from the tax com mission, and had asked for addi tional information. Overhulse also said he expected tax committee member Sen. Wal ter Pearson, D-Portland, to sub stitute a sales tax bill for one of the House measures.

Most of the others were relatives of U.S. servicemen, diplomats or mission aries stationed in this island na tion.

(UPD- Dr. Martin Luther King, the man who called Birmingham the most thoroughly segregated big city in the nation, said today the agree ment ending racial hostilities here shows the "futility of mas sive resistance to integration." "The walls of segregation in the South will crumble," said King, the Atlanta minister who came here to spearhead the de segregation drive which resulted in mass arrests and violence. The victory in Birmingham is of great significance throughout the South." The pact was announced Friday afternoon and quashed fears that Alabama's largest city would have to heel to the boot of limit ed martial law. Neither the leaders of the inte gration movement led by King nor the two city governments fighting for control of civic af fairs actually participated in the negotiations. The settlement was reached by local white and Ne gro businessmen.

The present city commission. which refuses to yielded control to the newly elected mayor-council form of government, refused to be tied to the settlement. Call Pact Capitulation Mayor Arthur Hanes said "the only thing I'd say is capitulation by certain weak-kneed white peo ple under threats of violence by the rabble rousing Negro King has encouraged him greatly to move to another area and upset some other fine city." Hanes added, "I certainly am not bound by the concessions granted to the terrorist King and have no intention of doing one thing to implement or facilitate these agreements. On the con trary, I will oppose these integra tion efforts." King said, however, he was "confident" authorities would abide by the pact. "The political structure always responds to the economic struc ture, he said. Sidney W. Smyer, leader of the white negotiators, said whites should realize the agreement was necessary to "avoid a dangerous and imminent explosion. The city recently voted to switch from a three-commissioner form of government to a may or-council form, but the commis sioners have refused to give up their offices on the ground that their terms have not expired. The dispute currently is before the Alabama Supreme Court. "The bombs and cannon didn't get me but now they've got the artillery after me. Boy this could drive a guy nuts. I wish they'd stop firing and remember I'm out here." Then. Private Arthur saw what he thought were trucks approach ing. TlK-y were tanks. The tanks opened up at him. Private Arthur hit the dirt.

Experts were keeping particularly critical eyes on conditions at the Cape Canav eral launching area and in the main recovery areas in the At lantic and Pacific oceans. Generally, the outlook for good weather on launch day remained better than usual for this time of year. Weathermen said there was some question about the cen tral Pacific and the Bermuda areas of the Atlantic, but that neither appeared a serious threat yet. The plan calls for Cooper to blast off aboard an Atlas rocket Tuesday morning and return for a landing in the Pacific near Midway Island late the following day.
