The governors of Califor nia, New Jersey, Iowa and Kansas breakfasted together at the annual Governor's Conference. One consensus they reported was that Steven son's chances now are "remote." The committee action came as the United States submit ted a new memorandum to the Organization of American States accusing the Castro regime of a series of "provo cative actions" which have increased Caribbean tensions. Key House members agreed today that the sugar measure -on which action had been blocked for weeks by a parti san row-would be sped to the White House within two weeks.
