Kohler today strongly protested to the Soviet Union against the arrest on spy charges of Yale University Pro fessor Frederick C. Barghoorn and "requested his release forthwith." Kohler called on Soviet Depu ty Foreign Minister Valerian Zorin at the skyscraper Foreign Ministry offices and in a 15 minute interview "denied em phatically" that Barghoorn was a spy, demanded "immediate access" to the professor and re quested his release. Kohler's trip to the Foreign Ministry followed a firm pro test lodged there this morning by Walter J. Stoessel, deputy chief of the U.S. mission, against the arrest of the 52-year-old American professor. Under Soviet law, Barghoorn faces imprisonment or a pos sible death sentence if found guilty of the charges. Kohler was pressing a request for further information on the case and a demand to see the New York-born expert on Rus sian affairs. Mikhail Smirnovsky, chief of the American section of the Soviet Foreign Office, told ; Stoessel this morning that no details could yet be provided and that the request for an ' interview would be "passed on." The ambassador's action was . the fifth official American move In The- Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS From Washington: Walter W. Heller, President Kennedy's chief economic advis er, told senators yesterday that "we are unlikely to find a bet ter time to cut taxes (without cutting spending i than right now." ' He went on to say: "Right now, expansion is oc curring at a good pace, busi ness confidence is firm, and the stimulus of the tax cut (without cutting spending I w ill reintoree a strong existing momentum." Bui He testified "The chances that the present economic expansion can contin ue through 1964 w ithout an ear ly tax cut . (without cutting spending I are poor so poor that the opportunity to lake out anti recession insurance 'in the form of cutting taxes without cutting spending) should not be over looked. He added: "In addition to possibly fore stalling a recession, a tax re duction (without reducing spend ing will help to solve basic problems of unemployment and unused productive capacity." Hmmmmmmmmm. This thought occurs: If lax culling (without cutting government spending) is so WONDERFUL, why couldn't we latch onto R out here in Oregon ; a solution of the problems that have arisen since the vot ers turned down the legislature's budget for the next biennium? Why can't we just go on spending like drunken sailors for the next couple of years and thus wind up fat and rich and happy? And- Why not go Uncle one better and cut out taxes altogether? And, at the same time, DOU BLE our spending. Well- Unfortunately There's a catch to it. The catch is this: Uncle can PRINT MONEY, and the State of Oregon can't. That's about the long and the short of it. Cast ro Charges Marines With 'Constant Aggression1 HAVANA (l'PI - Cuban Armed Forces Minister Raul Castro charged Tuesday night that U.S. Marines at tlie Guan tanamo Naval Base have been waging "constant aggression" against Cuba and "opening fire" on Cuban troops. In a two-hour speech broad cast by Radio Havana. Castro said also that a draft hiw about to be enacted will authorize the government to call up Cuban men aged 17 to 45 for military service. The armed forces minister, brother and deputy of Premier Fidel Castro, charged that the Marines at Guantanamo have committed "120 provocations" against Cuba in three months, Charge By US here on the case since the So viets notified the embassy Tues day that Barghoorn had been picked up. Barghoorn apparently was ar rested somewhere between the American Embassy and his ho tel, the Metropole near the Kremlin walls. Ambassador Kohler's action in personally taking American protests to the Foreign Minis try underlined the gravity with which the embassy here re garded the professor's arrest. There was speculation here that Barghoorn, who came to Russia to study its political in stitutions, may have been ar rested to set up an exchange with Ivan Ivanov. 33. a Soviet chauffeur arrested last month in Englewood, N.J., on charges of complicity in a spy ring. Barghoorn, who served as a press officer at the U.S. Em bassy here during World War II, returned this fall on a one month tourist visa which ex pired Nov. 1. It was believed that his re search notes might be used as evidence to support the espio nage charges if Barghoorn is brought to trial. Barghoorn has written sever al books on Soviet affairs, all of them critical of the Communist regime. Western experts here said Barghoorn probably was held under a loosely worded spy clause of the Russian federa tion criminal code making es pionage an offense punishable by 7 to 15 years imprisonment or death. There has been no death sen tence imposed on a Westerner in recent Soviet history. The last American accused of espio nage, Marvin Makinen, a 24 year old student, was sentenced to eight years imprisonment and served two before his ex change for a Soviet spy freed by the United States. Klamafh Off Limits WASHINGTON (UPIS Thir teen Oregon counties were listed as off limits to Russian citizens traveling in t h i s country, the Stale Department said Tuesday. In addition, six of the coun ties also are restricted to mem bers of Bulgarian, Czechoslovak, Hungarian, Polish and Rumani an missions in this country. They are Benton, Coos, Kla math. Linn, Morrow and Mult nomah counties. Clackamas, Douglas, Lane Marion. Polk, Washington and Yamhill counties are closed to Russians, but open to the East ern Europeans. In all, about 26 per cent of the country has been declared off limits to the Russians, and about 11 per cent to the five Iron Curtain country missions. Latest Travel Restrictions Slated To Close Loophole WASHINGTON (UPD-About 11 per cent of the United States was marked "off limits" to dip lomats from five Eastern Euro pean countries today in a move to discourage spying. U.S. officials who announced the travel ban Tuesday said it was designed to close a loop hole which had allowed satel lite officials to gather intelli gence data in parts of the United States closed to Rus sians. Roughly 28 per cent of the United States has been closed to Russian citizens since 1955 in retaliation for travel curbs imposed by the Soviet Union on Americans. throwing dirt and stones at "our posts" outside the base and "opening fire from close by." Castro said some Cuban sen trios had been hit and hurt by stones thrown by the Marines, but he made no mention of any gunshot wounds. "At times we have had to transfer comrades because they could not contain themselves in the face of these provocations ..." he said. "On 47 different occasions (between Aug. 5 and Nov. 31, the U.S. Marines have crossed over the dividing line between the base and the free territory of Cuba, either through the fence or the entrance." Fuel Tank Drops Off Jet, Burns An auxiliary fuel tank caught fire after it fell from a F101 Voodoo jet fighter plane prepar ing to take off from Kingsley Field about 8:30 a.m. Wednes day, but prompt action by U.S. Air Force fire fighters extin guished the blaze before it dam aged the aircraft, the Informa tion Office of the air base has disclosed. The tank was jarred loose af ter a tire blew out on the aircraft and the impact of the cylinder striking the ground set it afire. A witness of the accident de scribed the tank as a "huge ball of fire that dropped off of the plane." Neither tlie pilot, Lt. Col. Richard C. Garrett, 42, of Tole do, Iowa, nor the radar observ er, Capt. Reginald W. Shalcski, 29, Milwaukee Wis., were in jured. Col. Garrett is a squad ron commander at the air field. A Kingsley Field board of in vestigators w ill be named to in vestigate the accident, the air field reported. Clubs Add $153,000 To Economy Santa Claus in the Klamath Basin can jingle in excess of $153,000 in the pockets of his fur-trimmed red suit this year, which is the approximate total saved by members of Christmas Clubs in the last 12 months in this area including Tulelake. Checks from tlie various banks which sponsor this an nual saving plan, were mailed out the first week in November. Most of the cash will be chan neled into local business firms for gifts to put under the Christ ie mas tree, but some finds its way into taxes, insurance prem iums, house repairs or winter vacations. Sums saved range from $50 to $300, paid in weekly install ments. Interest is paid on the savings. The local funds are part of a multi-million Yu(e backlog, saved over the United States since Christmas 1962. To most club members it is an easy method of tucking away a few dollars each week, to ac cumulate a tidy sum for Christ mas shopping. Totals of checks including in terest mailed out by the various participating banks follow: U.S. National Bank (uptown), $32,. 350.65; U.S. National. South Sixth Street Branch, $16,371; First National (uptown) $57,600; First National, South Sixth Street Branch, $25,210.59; Bank of Klamath Falls, approximate ly $12,000; Bank of America, (Tulelake, Merrill, Malin depos itors) $9,932 in the Tulelake Branch. Though there have been some restrictions on Eastern Euro peans such as having to give advance notice of trips the system of closed areas did not apply to them. Thus, if a Soviet military at tache could not visit a U.S. de fense area, be always could get the military attache of a Red satellite country to go for him. The State Department also revised the restricted areas for Russians, closing some new lo calities and opening others, to take into account the fact that strategic areas have changed in recent years. The total area closed to Russians, however, is still about 26 per cent. In one instance, he said, the Marines tried to pull down a Cuban flag flying from a staff on Cuban soil outside the base. Castro said also that Cuban forces have "captured many persons trying to leave the base," presumably Cuban em ployed by the Navy at Guan tanamo. The armed forces minister in dicated that the proposed draft law would be aimed specifically at "loafers and bums." He said draftees will serve three years, including some time in work brigades harvesting next years sugar and coffee crops. He said Cuban women will not be drafted for the time being.

The wind-whipped blase, which sent flames shooting Iffi feet into the air, gutted a scries of shops which were bordered by the restaurant to the south and the historic Stslra Baths to the mirth. Among the buildings destroyed were he gift shop and sntsqsse pavilion where thousands of 'his toric relics were kept on display for sightseers. About 279 firemen with S9 pieces of roiling equipment were hampered in their three-hour bailie by an estimated crowd of 1,500 spectators attracted by tlie blazo which broke out al 5:30 p.m. The fire-fighters esuld ap proach tlie complex of haildiiigs only from the east side, because the other side faces the ocean over a sheer cliff from which the popular tourist spot gets its name. Sixteen firemen were injured, but none of their injuries was considered serious. Most were hospitalized for treatment of smoke inhalation. Two policemen also suffered minor injuries when a groan o teen-agers jielled firemen and jsoiice officers with rocks from a high hill over the fire scene.
