Nixon aid Saturday he is sure Re publicans will rally around their party's plptform, policies and candidates this year de spite "inevitable" disagree ments on some issues. In obvious reference to New York Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller's frontal attack on him earlier in the week, Nixon said "xpu've got to have room for people who dis agree" within a political party. ' ' He told a Republican na tional committee breakfast that intraparty disagreement in a two-party system was in evitable and constructive be cause the alternative would be multiple splinter groups and ultimate chaos. But Nixon also asserted that Republicans can "dis agree without being disagree able." While he did not refer di- 'Kr Says Powers Can Visit Son Moscow - OJPD - A Soviet announcement said Saturday that Premier Nikita Khrush chev had turned down Oliver Powers' appeal for the release of his son, U-2 pilot Francis Powers, but declared he is ready to help the father see his son if he comes to Russia. "I must tell you that your on will be tried," Khrush chev said in reply to a letter from the elder Powers, 55, who lives near Pound, Va. Oliver Powers, a shoe re pair shop operator, had writ ten to the Soviet premier last month, urging "as one father to mother" that he free pilot Poweri, arrested after h i s U-2 spy plane was shot down over the Soviet Union May 1. He offered to take his son's place in prison. The Soviet Tass news agen cy said Khrushchev replied to Powers that "law is law, and I cannot interfere in a matter which is exclusively within the competence of the judicial authorities." Oliver Powers had said last month he intended to go to the Soviet Union in an effort to see his son. But later he uddenly called off his plans, Congress Prepares Adjournment Race Washington -0IPI)- Congress moved into a final breather Saturday before starting the annual race for adjournment This is something of i anrint. with the opening of the Democratic national con- " vention in Los Angeles exact " ly one month away.

Nixon addressed the GOP committeemen on the final day of a three - day pre- convention meeting. He was heavily favored by national committee members for the party's presidential nomina tion long before Rockefeller made his move. Their opinion did not seem to have changed. The committee discussed campaign techniques and or ganizational work at its final closed session after hearing Nixon. The vice president later met privately with three regional1' groups of the GOP leaders. , , CP Man Seriously Injured in Wreck Albert C.

He said it would jeopardize free world de fenses. His plea was directed to action of a House appropria tions subcommittee which two days ago voted to cut about $800 million off his request for $4,175,000,000 in new funds to finance military and economic assistance in the 12 months starting July 1. The subcommittee's action comes up for ratification by the full appropriations com mittee Monday. Eisenhower, in identical telegrams to key figures involved, urged restor ation of a substantial part of the cut "for our own security and for the common defense of the free world." If allowed to stand, he said, Adlai's Reply to Mrs. Roosevelt's Request Unknown Chicago - OIPP - Adlai E. Stevenson, who 3 ',4 years ago said he would not run again for the presidency but would help the Democratic party however he could, Saturday replied to a plea from Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt that he again become a candidate. Neither Stevenson, unsuc cessful Democratic candidate in 1952 and 1956, nor Mrs. Roosevelt, widow of the four- times elected Democratic President Franklin D. Roose velt, would disclose the con tents of his answer. But immediate speculation arose that Stevenson had left the way open for a draft in case the Democratic presiden tial nominating convention, which will meet in Los Ange les In July, should call upon him. , Both the New York Post and the Chicago Daily News said that Stevenson's reply made clear his availability for the nomination. The St. Louis Post Dispatch endorsed Stevenson as Demo cratic candidate for President in a Sunday edition editorial which said he was the "ablest" and "best fitted" of all Democratic candidates. Stevenson, contacted at his Libertyville, 111.,' home, refus ed to give contents of a tele grammed reply he made to Mrs. Roosevelt Friday night. He said the telegram was "personal." But he recalled remarks he has made since his second de feat at the hands of President Eisenhower in 1956, and ap peared to be reiterating the dnnrl thai hp wnillrl nnt nclive- I ly seek the presidency. Gray, of the Seattle pageant. (UPI Telephoto) the cut would hurt U. S. allies in both Europe and the Far East. Half the subcommittee's recommended reduction $400 million-would be applied against direct military assist ance, for which the President asked $2 billion. Another cut of $75 million was imposed on his request for $724 million in so-called defense support. "This cannot but jeopardize the defense of the free world," the President said. "Unavoid ably the military assistance cut would have to fall heavily upon force modernization. This would compel America to withhold from her allies both in NATO and in the Far East the equipment required to maintain a respectable pos ture of defense." As for the cut in defense support funds, the President said "this will force us to distribute the deficit among our allies rimming the Com munist world from Korea to Turkey, to the detriment of all, or else to drop entirely from this powerful defensive system one or more nations important to us in order to sustain the others at an ad equate level." The President, indirectly reaffirming his far eastern travel plans, pointed out that he himself will be In the Orient when the subcommit tee actions come up for re view next week. The money bill, after action by the full committee Monday, goes to the House for debate starting Thursday.

KISHI VISIT Fidel Takes Over All of Havana's Leading Hotels Havana, Cuba-IUPII-Premiei Fidel Castro's government took over the Havana Hilton, the Nacional and several oth er luxury hotels Saturday in a move apparently aimed at heading off complete collapse of the tourist-starved hotel in dustry.
