industry representatives,
starting a new round of ne
gotiations to settle the long
shoremen's strike.
Elsewhere along the Atlan

the six-day walkout by dock
workers was marked by gun
fire, threats of court action
and union efforts to keep
stray locals in line with na
tional strike policy.
Wirtz, who presided over
bargaining sessions until the
talks collapsed last week, said
he would confer with nego
tiators for the New York

Europe Suffers in
Sixth Consecutive
Day of Bitter Cold
London -lUPli- For the sixth
consecutive day bitter winter
weather brought havoc and
death to Europe today with
forecasts for more snow and
cold over the week end.
. 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,

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

France Soir ran a two-column
wide thermometer down the

Smuggled Reports
Say Irreparable
Damage Suffered
By FRANCIS L. 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. Snow, Winds Lash

Much of the increased em
ployment and lower unem
ployment was thought due to
favorable weather for outdoor
activities, an increase in con
struction projects all over the
state, as well as an increase
in employment in government
and several other industries
in the state, including elec
tronics, plywood, service, and
trade.
During the year bids were
opened for construction of
new employment service of
fices at Baker, Klamath Falls,
and Salem with opening of
these offices scheduled in
1963. New offices were open
ed at The Dalles, Eugene, and
Ontario during 1962 and the
new office in Pendleton is ex
pected to open early next
year.
Average weekly earnings of
production workers in Ore
gon manufacturing industries
have increased from $92.04 in
June, 1937, to $103.88 in June,

In September, 1962, the av
erage weekly wage was
$104.28: average weekly
hours 39.8, and average hour

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. He said analysis was
continuing and that the final

Expense Account
Rules Eased by IRS
Washington - (I'm - The In
ternal Revenue Service has
eased its expense account
rules so they "won't hurt any
body who hasn't been trying
to get away with something."
IRS Commissioner Morti
mer Caplin said Thursday
night that after Jan. 1, tax
payers would need receipts
to prove deductions of more
than $25 a day for business
travel, entertainment and
gifts.
Great Protest
When the service first an
nounced its controversial pro
posals last November, it set
a $10 limit on the amount of
expense account living that
could be claimed daily with
out receipts. This raised a
great protest from business
men. Bing Crosby's Son
Faces Drunk Charge
West Hollywood, Calif.-fliPIl
- Dennis Crosby, 28, son of
crooner Bing Crosby, must ap
pear in court next Wednesday
to answer drunk driving
charges.
Crosby, who gave his occu
pation as salesman, was ar
rested Thursday night by po
lice officers who said they saw
his sleek sports car weaving
through traffic.
Investigators said Crosby
failed a field sobriety test and
was taken to headquarters to
be booked.
He was later released on
$273 bail posted by an asso
ciate, Don Bledsoe. Crosby
left in Bledsoe's car and re
fused to answer newsmen's
questions.
Crosby and his wife, former
Las Vegas show girl Pat Shee
han, were reunited Dec. 7 af
ter a one-week trial separa
tion. They were married in
1958 and have two small sons.

The limit was raised. 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."
