HAVANA (AP)-A Negro want ed for kidnaping a white couple In North Carolina during a race dis turbance, has requested political asylum in Cuba, the official Cuban news agency prensa announced Saturday.

The announcement charged Wil- liams was harassed by American authorities "because of his valiant fight in favor of colored people and his defense of the Cuban rev olution." There was no word on when or how Williams got here or on his whereabouts now. He was quoted as saying after his arrival that "the fate of 20 million American Negroes is closely linked 1th the Cuban revolution as is the cass with the tremendous liberation movement in Asia and America, -The announcement did not sav if .asylum had been granted. But there seemed little doubt t.iat it was. :A Havana radio report, moni tored Saturday in Key West, Fit., sS-id that Williams had been grant- ejl asylum. He was described at a "great defender of the Cuban revolution." :( Williams was quoted as saying he had sought asylum "because of continuing death threats he has been receiving, Including threats from the Ku Klux KJan, for being president of the National Associa tion for the Advancement of Col ored People." KWilliams is chapter president or. the NAACP in Monroe, N.C.) Williams, 36, of Monroe, N.C, Is a militant integrationist. He once said he was stockpiling weapons in an armament race with the white people of Monroe." A Union County grand Jury In dicted him on a kidnaping charge Aug. 23. He was accused of join ing a number of other Negroes in holding Mr. and Mrs. 0. Bruce Stegall as hostages several hours to win the release of Negroes who had been arrested in a racial dis order. The Stegalls were released unharmed. Mrs. Stegall later said Williams had criticized the other Negroes about the kidnaping and did not help when they tied the couole un. She said she heard Williams say in a telephone call to police that "unless the Negroes in Jail were treed, they d kill us." An avowed admirer of Cuban Prime Minister Fidel Castro, Wil liams visited Cuba last year and saia there was no racial discrim. ination there.

J. W. Ful- bright said Saturday free nations should take up their share of the burden of preserving freedom. The United States, he said, is carrying too great a load. "We ask you to help, not to pre pare for nuclear war, but to help us to prevent nuclear war," the Arkansas Democrat declared. The United States, he went on, "Is able and willing to bear its just share of the burden of free world security, but it cannot ac cept a disproportionate share1 when other nations, with equally as much at stake, are reluctant to bear responsibilities commensur ate with their strength." He spoke in the British House of Commons in an address to the closing session of the Common wealth Parliamentary Association Conference. He hailed Britain's decision to seek entry Into the European Com mon market saying: "The single most encouraging trend In recent years toward the strengthening of the free world Is the movement toward European unification and the single most Important event within that trend Is the decision of the United King dom to seek admission to the Eu ropean economic community." Only Britain has the experience and political maturity needed to lead Europe into a new era, he said. He called West Germany "a fledgling democracy not yet ready Sig Unander Defeat Seen By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS An Oregon Republican leader has predicted that Slg Unander: will be defeated if he runs against Democrat Senator Wayne Morse, The Orcionian said Saturday. In a special dispatch from Sun Valley, Idaho, where a Western Republican conference is under- way, the newspaper said this happened: Robert W. Packwood of Port land, chairman of the Multnomah County Republican Central Com mittee, said he thought Unander might be defeated by as much as 100.000 votes. Packwood said that Unander does not meet some requirements for a vote-getting candidate such as a good television appear ance and the ability to debate. Packwood made his statement after Robert G. Davis of Grants Pass, the Oregon Republican State chairman, had expressed confidence that Morse could be de feated by Unander or who ever won the Republican primary. Davis was not present when Packwood made his statement before a gathering of national committee members. Packwood said later that he did not realize that the meeting was not confidential. 99 w tllANON International SDorliaht In tunQnerot 19i when anti-West-em factions attempted to over throw government.

Plan's Success Hangs On MD's SALEM (AP Success for Oregon's new Medicare program will depend greatly upon the state's doctors. Gov. Mark Hat field told the Oregon State Med. ical Society Convention Thursday night in Salem. Hatfield told the doctors that if he had his way he would rather have the program of medical care for needy elderly in low in come brackets run by the State Board of Health. It hurts the pride of many eld erly persons to accept aid from the State Welfare Commission, the place where the legislature put the program, Hatfield said. Any program, whether It Is under welfare, health or run by the slate treasury or private concerns will be only as success ful as doctors themselves want to make it," Hatfield said. Without your cooperation, a program of this nature cannot function." onin v PRESENTS (a No Wedding Bells For Youngstero By ANN LADDERS Dear Ann Landers: Will you rush some vitally needed infor- mation? .
