Navy Prepared To Remain at Guanfanamo Havana TIUPD- Hundreds of Americans packed for a hasty return to the United States to day under a warning from the U.S. Embassy to get out of Cuba immediately unless they had "compelling reasons" to stay. U.S. Charge d'Affaires Dan iel Braddock issued the warn ing Tuesday night following the formal break in U.S.-Cu- ban relations. He said the em bassy would help arrange transportation. Although Premier Fidel Castro's government had promised "absolute guaran tees" of the rights of an esti mated 2,000 to 3,500 Ameri cans in Cuba, the Dier (secret police) were holding at least four Americans and two Cu ban women associated with the embassy. Castro called his cabinet Into emergency session short ly after the rupture in rela tions was announced, perhaps to discuss the future of the big U.S. naval base at Guantan amo. U.S. Navy Stays 1 A spokesman at Guantana- mo said the Navy is going to slay in Cuba despite the dip lomatic break. "We arc fully prepared for every eventuality . . ," said Lt. Cmdr. J. F. Lloyd, base in formation officer. "Whatever happens, we're going to sta'y We are bound by the direc tives of the U.S. Navy, and we're going to follow orders." The Castro-controlled radio, after calling the break in re lations "a new step of Yankee aggression," said it would stay1 on the air all nignt to inform people of the events of this transcendental moment," Radio Moscow also describ ed the U.S.-Cuban break as "a new step toward aggression." Two of the Americans tak en into custody Tuesday night by the Dier were officials -Stewart H. Adams, U.S. Treasury representative at the embassy, and Miss Frances Simopoulos, an embassy sec-reary. No Charges Filed Also being held were Sophie Watson, a Cuban receptionist at the embassy; her sister Edythe, a Cuban-born Ameri can employee o'f the U.S. Em bassy in Panama; their moth er, and Tony Fcrantes, an American with no known em bassy connection. So far as was known, no charges 'had been filed against any of the six although it was reported the arrests were in connection with an alleged at tempt to remove some furni ture from Adams rented house. A special plane will fly down from Miami today to pick up 76 embassy employees who had been ordered to get out of Cuba within 48 hours. A railroad car ferry with capacity of 100 passengers will leave Havana for West Palm Beach today and again JJriday. Pan American World Air ways was authorized to put on extra flights from Cuba today and Thursday for other Amer icans leaving the country. Braddock "said he and 10 others members of the em bassy staff not affected by the 4B-honr deadline would stay on for a "day or two" to assist departing Americans. Liberals, Conservatives Battle in Congress Washington - IUPD - Liberals battled conservatives in the Senate and House today in a struggle over efforts to re move possible roadblocks in the way of President-elect John F. Kennedy's legislative requests. As the 87th Congress met for its. second day, Senate liberals pinned their main hopes for modifying the cham ber's filibuster rule on a Democratic -Republican pro posal to let three-fifths of the members voting curb debate on any issue. In the House, Speaker Sam Rayburn was locked in a behind-the-scenes struggle with Chairman Howard W. Smith (D-Va.) of the powerful rules committee over a plan to break conservative control of the panel by purging Rep. William M. Colmer (D-Miss.). President Eisenhower call ed GOP congressional leaders to a morning White House meeting to discuss the outlook for legislation in' the Democratic-controlled Congress and possibly to give them a pre view of the final State of iTne Union Message he will send to Congress Jan. 12. The present Senate fili buster rule requires approval of two-thirds of all members .voting before debate can be limited. Face More Wrangling Both supporters and oppo nents said privately that a close vote could shape up on the three-fifths proposal, spon sored by Sens. Clinton P. An derson (D-N.M.) and Thruston B. Morton (R-Ky.), the GOP national chairman. But before the showdown, the Senate apparently faced more parliamentary wrang ling over a stronger biparti san liberal proposal to let a majority of the Senate's 100 members curb talkathons against civil rights legislation or anything else. Its chances appeared slim, however. Despite the hopes of Demo cratic leaders for party har mony to ease the way for Ken nedy's program, liberal forces plunged the Semite into anolh- fight over the filibuster rule as soon as the new Con-Ol gress convened Tues.day. After two hours of parli mentary wrangling, with Vice President Richard M. Nixon making frequent rulings, the Senate put off further action until today. New Senate Democratic leader Mike Mansfield (Mont.) said he hoped the rules fight could be ended this week. Both he and Republican Lead er Everett M. Dirksen (111.) oppose any change at the present time. But their chief assistants, Democratic Whip . Hubert H. HumplPrey (Minn.) and Re publican Whip Thomas H. Kuchel (Calif.) are main spon- fltalkathons of their own, sors of the proposal to let a majority of all members curb debate. The Senate's potent South ern bloc, . headed by Sen, Richard B. Russell (D-Ga.) was prepared to talk at length against both, proposals unless an early showdown came on motions to table - and thus kill - both moves. A tabling motion requires an immediate vote. Could Block Program Supporters of the rule change argue that the present rule would allow minorities to block large portions of Ken nedy's legislative program, in cluding civil rights. Oppo nents, however, point out that liberals also have taken refuga in the same rule to conduct also will determine to a large extent how much trouble Ken nedy will have pushing a rea sonable facsimile of his pro gram through Congress. The rules committee, which has the power to determine which bills the House can take up, last year scuttled two b'lls on Kennedy's five-point prior ity program for the new Congress. Rogue Valley Edition Page 2A MEDFORDf Tribune MEDFORD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 4, 1961 In the House, the outcome of the struggle between Ray burn and Smith ' over the make-up of the conservative dominated rules committee Nine Deaths Are Noted Among Study Participants Results of the state -wide cancer prevention study show that nine deaths occurred among the 1,731 people en rolled in the program in Jack son county, the American Cancer society has reported. How many of these deaths were cancer-caused will not be known until photostatic copies of death certificates are studied by the society's medi cal affairs department in New York, according to Mrj. Wal ter G. Garner, Jackson county survey chairman. Approximately 20,567 men and women are taking part in the study to help American Cancer Society researchers find $ut why some people get cancer while others do not. There were 210 deaths in the first year of the current six year study. Nationally 1,100,000 Amer icans are participating. All of them pTrovided confidential in formation about their health histories and personal lining habi?s to help the research team find some of the an swers. The survey is believed to be the largest statistical sampling ever undertaken in the health field. A recheck of participants will be made each year during the six-year period.

Ken nedy prepared to shift his headquarters today from Flor ida to New York where he will be kept fully informed on o the brcakoff of Cuban American d i p 1 o matic rela tions. The State department was careful to let Kennedy know in advance of President Eisen hower's decision to sever for mal diplomatic relations with the Fidel Castro government of Cuba. The State department informed Dean Rusk, who will be secretary of state in the Kennedy cabinet, and Rusk telephoned the news to the President-elect in Palm Beach. Rusk is being kept abreast of developments in the Cuba crisis by the State department. .in'. us1, I III .i n,not ' 111 J. J. vw .. NonResiclcMial I I Area. ..
