Spying
Denied
MOSCOW lUPD - U.S. Am
bassador Foy D. 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

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,

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.

Latest Travel Restrictions

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.

"our posts" outside the base
and "opening fire from close

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."

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.
