Cuba Sunday. Castro said Cuba's answer to (UPI Telephoto) Commies Said Tightening Hold on Army in Russia By K. C. THALER United Presi International London-IUPil-Diplomatic re ports have indicated the Com munist party is tightening its hold on the Russian army in an apparent effort to reduce the army's political influence. Premier Nikita Khrushchev was said to be personally pass ing on officers' promotions, to underline his direct authority over the armed forces. Morevoer, he current demo bilization of army personnel was believed to affect non Communists In preference to members of the party. Official Soviet publications have reported that there are enough party members in the armed forces to permit the creation of "self - contained party units," down to bat talion level. Party Grip Tightening The reports made it clear that the party grip on the Red army has been steadily tight ening. The new policy appar ently was intended to insure that any major attempt to take the army into politics would be nipped in the bud. What appears to have heightened this trend are the developments which spotlight ed the role of the Red army since the U-2 Incident and the abortive summit talks in Paris last spring. There has been talk of dis content in the armed forces because of Khrushchev's de mobilization plans, which are said to affect hundreds of thousands of officers and men. Since the U-2 incident the army is said to have argued that Soviet defense need strengthening rather than re duction. Top Officers Communists In Paris last May, Soviet defense Minister Rodion Mal invosky was a constant com panion of Khrushchev at the abortive summit meeting.

Pamela Barber, ie, Es monds, Wash., a fourth occu pant of the auto, suffered minor injuries but was not hospitalized. State police said the ku deen car failed to negotiate a turn and plunged 60 feet over a bank, turning over several times. Even Communists conceded he was present to demonstrate the importance - of the Red army's role in Moscow's pol icy decisions. Khrushchev gave Malinov- sky the Defense Ministry when he ousted Marshal Georgi Zhukov because Zhu kov's political ambitions were too great. Apparently, Khrushchev has lost no time since the sum mit flop in making sure that the reviving political ambi tions of the Red army are kept under control. Latest reports say nearly all senior army officers are now Communists, subject to the rigid discipline which ranks the party before the army. Court Fight Over Sunken Galleon Starts in Miami Miami - (UPD - Two treasure hunters cleared the decks to day for a court fight over con tents of a Spanish galleon sunk more than two centuries ago.

Arthur McKee, owner of a sunken treasure tourist ex hibit in the Keys. McKee maintains that his state lease for relic hunting in the area gives him title to the items.
