Reds Claim Spy
Teams Wiped Out
On China Coast
Tokyo -(UPP- The Chinese
Communist defense ministry
said Saturday that nine U. S.-
Nationalist Chinese spy teams
totaling 172 men were wiped
out along the China coast in
the past three months while
trying to create a "guerrilla
corridor" for invasion of the
mainland.
The defense ministry, in a
communique broadcast by Pe
king radio, said the teams
landed along the coast of
Kwangtung province opposite
Formosa between Oct. 1 and
Dec. 19. It said the operations
were carried out under the
code names "Hatwei" and
Panehao."
Panchao was the name of a

Castro May Come
To U.S. (or Talks
On Yank Release
Lake Placid, N. Y, - (UPD -Cuban
Premier Fidel Castro
"possibly" may come to New
York to address the United
Nations and open negotiations
for release of 23 Americans
now held in Cuban jails, at
torney James B. Donovan
said Saturday.
Donovan, chief negotiator
in the ransoming of 1,113 Bay
of Pigs invaders, told a news
conference at his vacation re
treat here that chances for
release of the Americans
were "very favorable."
"It is possible that Castro
might come to New York to
speak at the UN and quite
possible that while he is there
we will discuss the Ameri
cans," Donovan said. He add
ed, however, he did not know
when Castro might make the
trip.
Carefully Screened
Donovan said the $53 mil
lion in drugs and other goods
which Castro received for the
invasion prisoners1 release
"was carefully screened so
that it will not strengthen the
Cuban economy."
He said the $2.9 million in
cash which Castro received
was obtained by the Cuban
families committee "for re
lease of 60 wounded prison
ers." He said his role did not
involve cash transactions.
The Ncw York attorney
said he was "surprised" that
some relatives of the ran
somed prisoners were being
held up by the Castro govern
ment in their efforts to leave
Cuba.
"Castro assured me that for
each shipload of goods sent
into Cuba that a thousand or
so persons could comc out,"
Donovan said. He said the
agreement covered "up to 3,-
500 persons. 1

were part of a "vast plan"
worked out by American and
Nationalist Chinese "espion

teams were wiped out "lock,

Nationalist Chinese leader
Chiang Kai-shek's dreams of

that most landed from boats

Revolt In Santo
Domingo Quelled;
Over 30 Killed
Santo Domingo -(UPP- Fed
eral troops pursued some 400
guerrillas into mountains near
the Haitian border Saturday,
after five self-styled "messi-
ahs" from a backcounlry re
ligious cult led thousands of
peasant zealots in a bloody
uprising that claimed over 30
lives.
Anti-guerrilla troops, many
of them veterans of a 1959
action that smashed a Cuban
ted invasion force in the same
mountainous region, were be
ing ferried by small plane
into Palma Sola, about 80
miles from the Haitian border
and 125 miles almost due west
from this capital.
Light artillery and armored
vehicles were moving to the
area, although the provisional
council of stale had officially
declared the rebellion quelled.
Government officials here
said it was unknown if leaders
of the uprising had any politi
cal connections, but there
were indications they had re
ceived some arms from across
the Haitian border.
Rumors raced through this
politically tense capital that
the revolt was inspired by
cither the Communists or par
tisans of the late dictators Ra
fael Trujillo.
A government spokesman
said leaders of the rebellion
were the five Rodriguez Vcn-"
tura brothers, two of whom
were killed. The other three
were reported to be with the
guerrillas.
The spokesman said the five
had founded a cult in the iso
lated rural community of Pal
ma Sola and may have had
several thousand "adulators"
or followers. Each brother
claimed to be divine.
Reports from the region
said that the brothers had the
power of life or death over
converts, and frequently or
dered wives and daughters of
their disciples placed at the
brothers1 disposition.

Tshombe has fled the city
but in a statement read on his
behalf by a Katanga govern

the UN forces proclaimed a

would put into effect a scorch
ed earth policy that "will raze
Katanga to the ground."
Firs! Target
"I have asked all Katangese
to resist by any means: Traps,
poison spears and poison ar
rows," his statement said. It
said the Lusira bridge at Ja
dotvillc, 70 miles from Elisa-
bethville, would be the first
target.
The statement was issued
after UN jet planes strafed the
main Katanga air base at Kol
wezi with rockets and ma
chincguns. Other UN forces
chased the fleeing Katangese
army and its European mer
cenaries into the bush; '
The troops' seized the Na
tional Bank of Katanga In a
move that gave the United Na

rency and could curtail the
financing of President Motse
Tshombe's secession from the
central government of Leo

seized was not announced.
Ethiopian and Indian forces
of the UN command captured
Tshombe's presidential palace
but he had fled the city, ap
parently to the mining village
of Kipushi, 18 miles south of
the city. Indian and Irish
troops were pushing along the
highway after him.
Calls on People
Convoys of Irish UN troops
rumbled through the deserted
city streets towards Kipushi,
reported to be Tshombe's
emergency capital. There he
was said to be directing mili

on his people to unite behind
him.
UN ground forces now hold
all key points In Elisabeth

radio and telegraph commu

and Tshombe's palace. The
city took on a wartime air.
The Irish troops striking
toward Kipushi were armed
with machineguns and anti

AWARDED CONTRACT
Salem - (UPD - The Oregon
State Highway Department
Friday awarded a $176,193
contract to Buswell Bros.,
Gold Beach for a grading
project about one mile north
of Galicc in Josephine coun

he could not support him this
time. He said he could not see
that the operation of the 15

ful. He urged Smith, further
more, to abandon his fight.
"I feel very strongly that
the country, the congress and
the Democratic party will
benefit by such decision on
your part," Landrum said In
his letter.
Liberal members were
quick to note that Landrum,
with powerful support from
the Georgia delegation, has
been angling for a coveted
