Law enforcement officers
will patrol the area and re

all persons who are believed
to be committing crimes there,
the district attorney added.
"People may feel we are
being very stern," Holmes
continued. "We are. If we
don't jump on it right now
somebody will be hurt seri

Holmes noted that there
have been many juveniles
using the area at all hours.
Such use has involved drink

was that something had struck
him. There was no external
bleeding from the punctures
but the injured man lost 3'i

the piece of nail was remov
ed. He was given two blood

Soviet Troops Quell
Uprising in Cuba
Miami-lUPIl-A Cuban exile
leader said Thursday night
his underground agents re
ported that Soviet troops
were used to quell an uprising
in a province in southern Cu
ba. Seven Russian soldiers, in
cluding an officer, were kill

patriots," said Dr. Luis Conte
Agero, leader of the Chris

Conte called upon Defense
Secretary Robert McNamara
to investigate the report.
Mr. McNamara has said
that if the Soviets use troops
to put down any Cuban up
risings, the United States will
act," Conle said.
"The Soviets have done
axactly that. I urge the sec
retary to check it out and
then I believe the next move
is up to him."
Conle said the battle oc
curred during the week of
Feb. 17 at the town of Bnta

Iron Gale Dam
Hatchery Ordered
Washington - WPP - The
Federal Power commission
Thursday ordered Pacific
Power and Light Co., Port
land, Ore., to construct a fish
hatchery at its Iron Gate
dam on the Klamath river in
northern California.
The FPC also said Pacific
should pay 80 per cent of the
operating and maintenance
costs of the hatchery, and that
the California Department of
Fish and Game should pay
the remainder.
The commission said it was
aware that it could not order
the California department to
pay the 20 per cent costs, but
it said it believed the state
will find the cost division
fair. It said it would retain
jurisdiction, however, to set
tle any disputes in the matter.
The ruling upheld in part
an examiner's decision Dec.
14, 1962, that Pacific should
build the fish hatchery, but
that the stale should operate
and maintain it.

Charge Made in
Manifesto-Type
Party Outline
Leaders Accused
Of Revisionism
London - OJPft - The Mos
cow - led Communist camp
charged today that Red Chi
na has demanded the "remov
al" of Soviet party leaders, .
apparently including the
purge of Premier Nikita
Khrushchev.
The charge was contained
in a manifesto type Moscow
backed Communist policy out
line, published in the current
Marxist Review, the ideologi
cal organ of international
Communism. The publication
reached here today,
"Outright attacks were lev
eled against the Communist
party of the Soviet Union,"
the manifesto said, "its lead
ers were accused of revision
ism and cries were raised for
their removal."
Blow Struck
"In a word, a blow was
struck against the Soviet par
ty which now bears the main
burden of the struggle against
imperialism, a party which
is the rallying center" of all
the forces fighting for social
ism, it added.
The manifesto said differ
ences (with Red China) are
on "cardinal issues" and
"cause grave concern." It
terms them "serious indeed"
and warned bluntly they may
lead to "a split in the inter-'
national Communist move
ment." At the same time, the man
ifesto laid down terms for a
settlement which follow close
ly the line pursued by Khru-
shchevs policy of peaceful
coexistence, leaving little lee
way for compromise with the
hard line of possible war be
ing pushed by Peking.
The manifesto listed 14
communist parties supporting
Moscow against China.
Partiei Listed .
They included the parties :
of the United .States, Italy, .
France, Finland, Britain, Po
land, Czechoslovakia, Bulgar
ia, Hungary; Spain, Indone
sia, Japan, Argentina,-Chile
"and many others." -
Red China withdraw from
the Communist International
Marxist Review last Novem
ber. The Review is published
in Prague and is considered
the successor to the Comin-
form apparatus.'
The manifesto was to all
appearances a well-prepared
joint reply by the Moscow
led wing of Communism to
Peking's violent attacks
against Khrushchev's so-call
ed revisionist and Trotskyite
deviation from the pure
Marxist-Leninist line.
Its publication coincided
with current moves for a .
Sino-Sovlet meeting at sum
mit level to attempt to com
pose the differences.
