Kidnapping Victims
Now Up to 48

HAVANA, Cuba, July / R.-
A rebel raiding party kidnapped
four more Americans In. East
ern Cuba today as two. United
States diplomats sought the re-
lease Of II other Americans
and 3 Canadians seized since
Thursday.
The four were abducted by
rebels from a United Fruit Co.
sugar plantation at Guaro,
near Preston, on the northeast
coast of Oriente Province.
Company officials said the
rebels entered sleeping quarters
of the combination sugar mill
and agricultural experiment
station about midnight.
The four men apparently
were selected at random from a
number of, Americans on the
plantation.
They were Alfred r. Smith oi
Laconia. N. H., the agricultural
superintendent; James P. Ste
phens. jr.. of Edmond. Okla.
assistant agricultural superin-
tendent; Harley F. Sparks OF
Frankfurt, Ind, a district Su-
perintendent, and Jesse j
Ford, of Lakeview, S. c., also q
district superintendent.
No Violence in Raid
No violence was reported dur
ing the raid by a party of un.
determined size. Guaro is about
40 miles west of Moa, where Il
engineers were seized Thursday
night in the first kidnapping.
There was no word on the
diplomats progress in dealing
with Fidel Castro's forces.

reportedly was considering
whether to give up the service.

can obtain the release of nine
Americans forced down in
East Germany when their hell
copter strayed of course, 40
odd Americans seized by Cuban
rebels, and nine other Amer
ican flyers forced down in the
Soviet Union.
Soviet Charge d'Affaires
Sergei Striganov was called to
the State Department this
morning to hear another de-
mand from Deputy Undersecre-
tary Robert Murphy that the
Soviet Union effect the release
of the nine Americans neld by
East Germany since June z.
But Mr.. Striganov refused
the American demand. He re-
asserted the Soviet position
that the United States must
deal with the East German
government.
Would Be Last Resort
The United States has been
trying to avoid direct negotia-
tions with the East Germans,
since it does not recognize their
government, but Secretary
Dulles has said he would deal
with them as kidnapers as a
last resort.
Mr.. Dulles made these other
points at his news conference
today:
/. The situation in Lebanon
has eased but has not been
wholly corrected. United Ma
tionS Secretary Dag Hammar-
skiold feels the United Nations
observer team is slowing up
and perhaps stopping the flow
of arms from the United Arab
Republic into Lebanon. But a
very large amount of support
already has reached the rebels.
Mr.. Dulles left open the possi-
bility that the United States
would give direct military aid
to the Lebanese government.
2. A significant easing of the
trade embargo on Red China is
in the offing. Free world ma
tions have been cutting the

by fear that the Soviets would
back out because the United
States refused to agree in ad-
vance that a ban on tests was
the goal of the meeting.
The United States contended
that the conference must be
devoted only to the technical
scientific questions of insurine
compliance with a test ban
The Americans said any agree
ment to bar tests must be
worked out in political talks
later.
Outlook Brightens
The Soviet delegation finally
stated yesterday it fully intend
ed to take part in the talks
The outlook for the conference
became even brighter after 9
meeting between United States
Chief Delegate James B. Fish
and Prof. Yevgeni K. Fedorov

talks are expected to last about
a month.

man Vinson of the House
Armed Services Committee
promised today.
The Star yesterday disclosed
that the 5000 million Indian
Head plant has been allowed
to dwindle while private West
Coast firms have been handed
multi-million dollar contracts
to build duplicating facilities.
Chairman Vinson said today
that "the first indication I had
of it was when I read it in the
paper"
His statement came as he
was testifying before the House
Rules Committee, which was
taking up the ST. billion mill
tary construction authorization
bill.
Asked by Brown
Mr.. Vinson was asked about
the case by Representative
Brown, Republican of Ohio. a
member of the Rules Com
mittee. Mr.. Brown referred to
yesterdays story in The Star
and said to Mr.. Vinson:
II read in the paper that the
Navy is in the process of clos
ing down Indian Head and is
expanding those activities in
California. Is that correct?"
Mr.. Vinson replied that "the
first indication had of it was
when I read it in the paper
we are going to make an in
quiry."
Referring to the fact that
Indian Head has laid of 1000
persons in three years, while
millions have been spent on
new plants elsewhere, Mr.
Brown remarked, 1--WE are kid
ding a lot Of people that we
are making a lot of savings. "
At almost the same time to-
day, Chairman Hebert Of the
House Armed Services Subcom-
mittee on Investigations was
consulting with Representative
Lankford, Democrat of Mary
land. who has been a leader in
the losing fight to maintain
Indian Head as a prime pro-
ducer of vital missile propel-
lantS.
Gets Bulky File
Mr.. Hebert took over from
fIr. Landlord a bulky file on
the case, including voluminous
correspondence with Pentagon
officials. Mr.. Lankford has said
that military explanations of
the situation have been un-
satisfactory.
Representative Hebert was
expected to make an announce
ment on the likelihood of an
investigation late today or early
tomorrow.
Yesterday the command of
the Naval Powder Factory
passed from Navy Capt. George

way. On Sunday afternoons when
the services are held, beach traffic
is at its height.
Only one service--in the after
neon at 2-will be held this year
as has been the case for the past
several years, in contrast to the
old days when the annual home
coming meant a full day and eve
ming at the church and on the sur
rounding grounds.
This is because the dramatic oil
lamps still hang from the ceiling
Of the church, giving a lovely at
mosphere to the room but no long
er suitable for illumination. For a
few years, an electric plant was
moved there for the homecoming
and lights were strung about the
grounds, but this, too, proved i'm
practical
Some of the other little country
churches OF the area have long
since disbanded, combined with
other churches or received new
impetus for expansion such as
special population growth but He
bron Church has retained its inde-
pendence and personality through
the years.
The cemetery behind the church
is well tended and piled with floral
tributes OF such occasions as Eas-
ter and Memorial Day.
The church was started follow
ing a revival meeting in the old
School District No. 81. The nearest
church was the Cokesbury Metho-
dist Church, several miles to the
west, so that the group continued
to meet in the school house until
they were ready to build the
church.
The church was closed for a few
years and secured permission to
reopen six years ago if they could
obtain a Methodist minister. Mr..
Barlow, retired and living near
Georgetown, was available and so
services began again. They are
held every two weeks.
Mr.. Barlow retired in 1912 when
he was at Wye Mills, Md, and since
he had once served the Georgetown
Methodist Circuit and liked George
town, he purchased what is known
as Hickory Pole Corner and has
lived here ever since.
He taught in several schools and
served as supply minister in sev-
eral churches, including Ellendale,
before becoming pastor of the FIeb-
ron Church.

This is stimulating thing for

encourages them to remain in one
of our most important fields of en-
deavor . the production Of food
stuffs for our ever-growing popu-
lation. Farming has undergone a
revolution in the past 20 years or
so. Automation has eliminated
many of the farms we once knew
and the tendency has been to have
fewer but bigger dsiries
'The need for production of quail
ity foods from our farms is greater
than ever since there are so many
more mouths to feed and /
want to commend the young people
here today who plan to remain on
the farm and assure us that our
future needs will be met. Despite
our expansion and industrializa-

above all it was the farm products
the peaches the strawber-
ries and the broilers which brought
prominence to the First State.
