It adopted this statement of principles: "Many of our city's problems arising out of historical racial groups have been distorted and exaggerated because of a lack of communication. Birmingham has a reservoir of good will growing out of tlie thousands of long-term personal, business and civic rela tionships built on mutual trust and respect. "It shall be the task of this committee to restore public com munications, to define the spe cific problems and recommend alternative courses of action for city agencies and civic organiia lions." The meeting of Negro and white ministers, physicians, at torneys, housewives and business men lasted an hour.

The decree, issued by Premier Fidel Castro's Council of Minis ters, declared that all farms lar ger than about 165 acres are the property of the state, together with livestock, equipment and buildings. It also confiscated the bank accounts of the farm owners. to be used to pay off farm work ers and settle any outstanding debts on the land. The document said tlie action was taken because "Yankee im perialism is stepping up its ac tivity against the-nation and the revolution, backed by classes which are enemies of the work crs and peasants principally the rural bourgeois. (A Radio Havana broadcast monitored in Miami quoted Cas tro as saying the expropriation of land would "intensify the class struggle and said it would af fect the country more than his first agrarian reform law of May 19511. I At that time, five months af ter assuming power in Cuba, Cas tro seized the vast American sugar plantations, amounting to nearly 1.67 million acres and valued at $275 million, under a law that nationalized all estates over 1,000 acres, with some ex ceptions. (tie naa retrained lrom seiz ing all land, however, in an ap parent attempt to maintain high food production and keep the loyalty of smaller landowners Friday's statement indicated tills policy had failed.) The latest decree provided ex ceptions for estates larger than 165 acres only when worked by brothers, each of whom had a share smaller than that area, and in special cases of farms of high productivity whose owners "have shown complete willingness to cooperate in carrying out agricul tural production 'and distribution plans of the state." Owners of tlie confiscated lands were given permission to live on the estates until they could find housing in the nearest city or town. , The decree promised payment of from $12,000 to $30,000 over a 10-ycar period to owners who worked their lands directly or in directly. No payment will be made for estates which were not being cultivated.

"The Kenya public has no well- balanced picture of Negro life in America and indeed knows very litlle of our black brothers." One ko said. "The films might be quite misleading, as it will be the fust impression for some of us about American Negro life." The minister said the language used by Amos, Andy, Kingtish and Uieir cronies is of a "lower standard than used by the aver age Negro.

Informed sources said there was no immediate indication that Rich ardson would return to the Saigon post.

Lodge has been represented as feeling that the political crisis and the conduct of guerrilla war are closely related. The Saigon reports have in dicated that the CIA favored co operation with the government of President Ngo Dinh Diem. The view of some military leaders has been that tlie United Stales should concern itself only with helping the South Vietnamese win tlie guerrilla war with Communists and stay out of the domestic sit uation.
