From Britain east to the Iron Curtain, from Lapland soulh to the normally balmy Mediterranean an unofficial count showed deaths attribut ed to the weather rose above 400 for tile week. Traffic, rail and miscel laneous accidents have killed at least 137 Britons to top (he giini fatality toll. Although the airports were buck to normal today, a Royal Auto mobile Club spokesman said roatls in hard -hit southern England "resemble Alpine passes." But workers on the Scilly Isles off the southwest coa.t picked early blooming nar cissi. London shoppers lined up at 6:30 a.m. in 24 degree darkness for post-Christmas sales. British railways ran "ghost trains" to de-ice their lines. One iff lite worst hit areas on the continent was Spain where 1 1 persons have died, about 7.0U0 were homeless due to floods in the soulh, and crop damages from a cold snap In the eastern section were estimated at $0(1.5 mil lion. Heavy rains flooded Se ville, Cadiz and llurlva prov inces in the Amlaliisian south, cutting traiisiiiii-Uilioii and communication and bringing appeals for emergency relief for the hoim-lcss. Tlie tem ll Mansfore SHOPPING CENTER picket line. Ben Kline, head of the firm receiving the ba nanas, was standing only two feet away. The worker, Robert L. James, 37, was hospitalized with an ankle wound. Galves ton police said they had no clues in the shooting, and made no arrests. An attorney for the receiv ing firm, the Texas Forward ing Co., said he will seek a court injunction to prevent ILA picketing of other ships dup to be worked by the in dependents. One was expect ed to dock today. . Another injunction against the ILA was sought in Tampa, Ha., by a stevedoring com pany which claims the local union is under contract to work until Jan. 10. The firm obtained an earlier injunction to force longshoremen to fin ish work already begun in unloading bananas. It was seeking the Injunction today to guarantee unloading of all ships arriving In Tampa by Jan. 10. ILA leaders succeeded Thursday In bringing a halt to unauthorized unloading by union members in Charleston, S.C. Local officials, under threat of disciplinary action by ILA headquarters, prom ised there will be no further work on banana shipments or on a seed potato shipment important to South Carolina farmers. Main issue at most of the struck ports is the size of gangs, now set at a minimum of 20. The shippers want to reduce them to 17 men, but the union says this would throw 5,000 members out of work. peratures ranged from a high of 52.6 in Cadiz to a low of 17.5 north of Madrid. Swedon Below Zero In Norway, where eight deaths were reported, it was colder In Hell (north of Trond hcim) at 5 above zero than in Paradise (near Bergen) at 28.5. Neighboring Sweden with 10 deaths, reported below zero temperatures and the recup eration of a Santa Clans in the port of Trellcborg after hospitalization for exposure. Germany shivered in its coldest winter in years with traffic accidents accounting for at least OH deaths and 1, 500 injuries. Barges froze in canals and rivers. A West Berlin couple kept a swan from an icedover city lake in their bathtub. Freezing temperatures cov ered France and chilled bikini-clad beauties along the Riviera. The Paris newspaper France Soir ran a two-column wide thermometer down the length of its front page. At l-'ast 44 deaths have been re ported.

McCARTHV UPI Correspondent Smuggled dispatches from Western diplomatic and other reliable sources in Cuba re ported today that Fidel Castro is battling for his political life. The dispatches, delivered in New York City, reported that his image has been damaged, perhaps irreparably, by Niki ta Khrushchev's unilateral de cision to remove Russian rock ets and bombers and their crews from Cuba. Followers Enraged The Soviet action enraged Castro's student followers, the dispatches said, and he was reported having trouble keep ing them in line.' Cuba's 7 million people, meanwhile, were described as increasingly restless over pro longed shortages. The dispatches said there was continued anti-Castro ac tivity in the Interior but de scribed it as scattered and in effective. More serious for Castro, they said,, was grow ing discontent among t n e peasantry. The dispatches cited "un confirmed" reports in Havana of similar discontent within the armed forces. Nightly Visits Reported Castro was said to be visit ine his alma mater, the Uni versity of Havana, almost nightly to keep his student followers from open street protests against what they term "Soviet treason." Tlie dispatches cited protest rallies within the university, not only against Khrushchev but against university Rector Juan Marincllo, veteran presi dent of the Cuban Communist party for 40 years. Diplomats said that the in ternal crisis in Cuba provoked by Khrushchev's action also has caused a cleavage in Cu ban Communist ranks. Such party stalwarts as Ernesto (Che) Guevara, gen erally credited with having been instrumental in getting the rockets and bombers into Cuba, was described as "en raged" over the Russian role. Long a sympathizer of Red China in its ideological clash with Soviet communism, Gue vara was said now to be open- ly pro-Peking in his political attitude. Information Confirmed The dispatches confirmed earlier information from Ha vana of serious differences be tween Castro and Anasl.is Mikoyan, the Soviet deputy first premier, in their recent "peace talks" in tlie Cubim capital. The dispatches said that Castro's failure to personally attend more than the first two sessions of talks was because he expressed himself on the subject of Russia in terms which Mikoyan considered offensive. The Cuban leader, the dis patches said, ignored several Mikoyan overtures for a withdrawal or modification of tlie phraseology used. The consensus among West ern diplomats in Havana was that Castro's subsequent dis patch of an emissary to Mos cow to tnlk trade with Russia means the Cuban leader U fully aware of his economic dependence on the Kremlin. Castro's emissary was said to have told tlie Russians the'.' must at least maintain present Soviet aid to Cuba despite my apparent unfavorable balance of trade if Castroism is to sur vive.

Your Charga Account Invited Greet in 9 Cards Partv & Wedding - " -s. r No Evidence Found of Venus Stanford, Calif. -UPI- Sci entists who conducted experi ments when the satellite Mar iner 2 flew past Venus said today that there was no evi dence that Venus had a mag netic field surrounding it as does the earth. Reports on the Mariner flight Dec. 14 were made to the national conference of the American Physical society and the American Geophysical un ion, meeting at Stanford uni versity. Four scientists who were in charge of the magnetometer experiment said that although the satellite flew within 21, 594 miles of the surface of Venus, there was no rise in the average value of the mag netic field. Didn't Register The instruments aboard the satellite were sensitive to a change of five gama, a unit of magnetic measurement. But they did not register when near the planet. The earth has a magnetic field of approxi mately 30.000 gama at the equator and 50,000 gama at the poles. The scientists were P. J. Coleman of the University of California at Los Angeles; Prof. Leverett Davis Jr. of the California Institute of Technology, Dr. Edward J. Smith of the Jet Propulsion laboratory, and Dr. C. P. So nett of Ames Research center. They said that their find ings do not necessarily mean that Venus has no magnetic field but that, if it does have one, it is either weak or limit ed to a region close to the planet. They also reported that their data was consistent with astronomical observations in dicating that Venus is rotating at a much slower rate than earth. John D. Anderson and George Null, scientists of the Cal Tech Jet Propulsion lab oratory, reported that the Mariner 2 fly-by also pro duced the most accurate esti mate yet of the mass of the planet. Anderson told the Geophys ical union that their figures give Venus a mass of 0.81485 times the mass of the earth, with a probable error of 0.015 per cent.

Cap lin said, "after listening to comments at public hearings and when our own agents, agreed that up to $25 was more appropriate." '. Under the new require ments "a person would almost be inviting fraud charges it he made deliberate overstate ments. It would be quite un-" wise for anyone to fabricate) . such records," he said. Individuals would be al lowed 30 days and companies up to three months to con vert to the new record-keeping requirements, Caplin said. As a conservative estimate, Caplin said, "the Treasury will save about $100 million a year." But he said he act-, ually expected an even great- er tax yield. : "This will mean greater"; profits for companies and " therefore more revenues for the government." the com- : missioner said. "It will go a ; long way toward eliminating;" abuses - both deliberate and-, accidentally born out of con- J fusion of what was required, by the old rules." He said he also expected that the tougher expense ac count reckoning would pro mote more honest returns from the general public, soma . of whom complained "why should I pay an honest tax . when so-and-so down the block is living it up on his expense account."
