To MOH Demands
Salcm-OIFP-Industrial Acci

Sidney B. Lewis bowed to the
governor's demands today and
resigned from his $11,700 a
year position.
Commissioner Emily P. Lo

Gov. Mark Hatfield was no

Lewis told newsmen today
he was quitting because the
governor refused to outline
reasons for the charges.
"My relationship with the
governor has been destroyed
by this. I can't appear at,
hearing if I don't know what
the charges will be. It's like
running up a blind alley when
there are no specific charges
to fight."

Communist defenses.
Miami's huge Cuban refu
gee colony, still throbbing
with excitement over Thurs
day's surprise announcement
by the Cuban Revolutionary
Council, were eagerly waiting
radio reports from the commandos.
Heavily Armed
A radio broadcast from
Cuba late Thursday night re
ported that militiamen fought
with a group of eight heavily
armed anti-Castroites in the
vicinity of "El Camino." The
broadcast did not say if the
rebels were of the invading
commandos or guerrillas op
erating in the mountains of
Oricnte, Las Villas and Pinur
Del Rio provinces.
The broadcast said the anti-
Castroites opened fire with
out warning late Thursday
afternoon and were repelled
with submachine gun fire.
There was no report on
casualties.
Government radio messages

toring center here announced
that three air force jets

power this country had would
deter it.
The committee voted $47
billion to support in the year
starting July 1 Army, Navy
and Air Force functions for
which Kennedy had asked
$1.9 billion more. But much
of the cut reflected book
keeping transactions which
will not save any money.
The rest of the cut was
scattered through most ' ma
jor items, and was calculat
ed to back up the committee's
insistence on elimination of
waste. No major functions
were eliminated or even
heavily pared.
In approving the bill the
House group joined Defense
Secretary Robert S. McNa
mara in virtually writing off
the controversial 2,000 mile-an-hour
RS70 bomber, for
which no additional funds
were requested or provided
by the committee.
Can Get More
McNamara was told, how
ever, that if the $155 million
he had left from this year
for this project proved in
sufficient to complete the
three test planes beyond
which he has been unwilling
to go, he can get additional
money by transfer from an
other project - . Dynasoar

Dynasoar and RS70 are fated
to go down the drain.
