Khrushchev scored a diplomatic coup in . the ideological struggle with Communist China by enlist ing Cuban Premier Fidel Castro as a full-fledged mem ber of the Moscow camp but at a price, western diplo mats said Saturday. The conclusion was based on the Soviet-Cuban commun ique issued Friday night which indicated that Castro had extracted promises' of more economic help from the Soviet Union in exchange for his support of Khrushchev's policies. ; ' The diplomats said that Castro's support could be cru cial in the face of the forth coming ideological confronta tion with Peking. The Cuban premier had appeared to waver between Moscow and Peking after Khrushchev pulled the Soviet missiles out of Cuba last fall. The communique Issued kept secret how much help Russia would provide for Cuba's hard pressed economy. Russia has never released any figures but western estimates have variously ranged from S100 to $470 million a year. Agreed on Measures The language of the com munique was confined to say ing that the Soviet Union agreed on measures "for the further de elopment of eco nomic, trade and scientific tics with Cuba" and would pay more for Cuban sugar. The Cuban-Soviet commun ique, in addition to referring to economic and trade rela tions, also reaffirmed the much repeated Soviet posi tion that an attack on Cuba would trigger World War III. Khrushchev, it was dis closed, also agreed to a visit to Cuba although no dale was set. Castro's public support of Khrushchev's handling of the Caribbean crisis last fall and the communique's insistence that war is not "inevitable" were considered a diplomatic coup for Khrushchev.

(UPI) Frostbitten Yanks Descend Everest; Copter Stymied Katmandu, Nepal -(UPD-Two Americans with frostbitten feet began painfully edging their way down Mt. Everest Saturday night when pilots said they were too high to reach by helicopter, it was reported here. The two men, William Un socld and Barry C. Bishop, whose feet became frostbitten during an unprecedented twin assault on the world's highest peak, were reported working their way toward some stone huts at 16.000 feet. The huts house local tribesmen who pasture their yaks there in midsummer. Local pilots said dense clouds which wreath the top of Mt. Everest make it dan gerous and virtually impossi ble to land above Nnmchc Bazar, which is at 12,400 feet. The head of the U. S. Ev erest expedition had asked for a helicopter to fly up the mountain to pick up the two men today. But pilots said Usocld and Bishop would have to climb down part of the way first.

Thirty African Nations Agree to Charter of Unify Group May Become Neutralist Bloc Addis Ababa, Ethiopia -NPD A new organization linking 30 independent African nations was bor here Saturday night in a ceremony climaxing the largest gathering of heads of state ever held. The 30 Afri can countries contain 200 mil lion persons. The heads of state signed a charter for an organization of African unity to replace rival blocs within the continent. The charter was designed to weld a new force dedicated to economic development of Africa and to total liberation from colonial rule. The charter was the first step in unifying Africa into a powerful military, econom ic and cultural bloc of 200 million persons. It was draft ed by the foreign ministers of Ethiopia, Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon, Senegal and the United Arab Republic. They had asked for delay but were overruled by their presidents and premiers. The charter, which pledges efforts to liberate all African states still under colonial rule, was a victory for Emperor Haile Selassie, the Bearded Lion of Judah, who told the opening session of the four day summit conference the leaders must not leave until they completed their work. Written into the charter was the absolute dedication of member states to the total emancipation of the African territories which have not yet gained their freedom. Respect Equality The members agreed that all are sovereign and equal, that there shall be no inter ference in each other's inter nal affairs and that they will respect the sovereignty and territorial equality of each slate.. The official languages of the organization will be Eng lish and French. Admission of new states will be by majority vote and amendment of the charter by two-thirds majority. The charter also condemns political assassination as a means of gaining power and subversive activities by one state against another. This followed refusal of the group to invite Togo, whose presi dent was assassinated last year.

High Sugar Prices Subject of Probes Washington (UPD Soaring sugar prices left Congress in a quandary Saturday with three lvestigattons in the off ing and key lawmakers not agreeing on causes or cures. Chairman John J. Spark man (D-Ala.) of the Senate Small Business committee, an nounced the third congression al inquiry to be launched in three days although the Agri culture Department predicted that big new delivery com mitments from foreign pro ducers would puncture the "speculative bubble" which it blamed for rapidly rising prices. Investigations were already In the works by the Senate Finance committee and a House Banking subcommittee. But Sparkman said his staff would go into this matter fully because his committee "has the responsibility to the nation, to the Senate, and to the American small business community to find out what is going on. He said that small business "takes the full brunt of price increases in commodities such as sugar. Soft drink bottlers, bakers, confectioners and oth er heavy users of sugar are predominantly amall and In dependent businesses."

KVfi) Pope John Doctors Orders, Continues Vatican City -1UPD- A seri ously ill Pope John XXIH is disregarding doctors' orders and continuing work in an ef fort to keep his illness from slowing up the Ecumenical council, Vatican sources said Saturday. These sources said the 81- year - old pontiff, suffering from a recurrence of a chron ic stomach disorder that has caused internal bleeding, will not heed doctors pleas to rest and relax. They said the Pope is afraid that any letup in his efforts could result in the postponement of the sec ond session of the historic council, scheduled to open in St. Peter's Basilica on Sept. 8. As a result, Pope John has been working on documents and papers dealing with coun cil work despite orders that he "take It easy" and build up his strength during a nine day "spiritual retreat" he started Friday. Ovcr-llring himself has been the main cause of the Pope's two hemorrhages - the first last November and the second last week. The Vatican officially claims Pope John is suffering from stomach trouble and anemia - or defi ciency of the blood - and has never confirmed nor denied published reports he has can cer.
