The United States is seeking
o way for the Organization of
American States to warn Cuba
and the Dominican Republic
against expanding their hos
tilities.
Some reports reaching Wash
ington indicate thousands of
troops are now staging at two
bases in Cuba. One speculation
is that they intend to invade
the Dominican Republic.
There is no information
whether ships are also gather
ing at Santiago or other East
Cuban ports to carry the troops,
Raul Castro, brother of Gu
ban Premier Fidel Castro and
commander-in-chief of the
Cuban army, is rumored to be
the leader of the troops now

On that occasion. Cuban
ships repeatedly escorted in

across the Caribbean from
Cuba to the Dominican Re-
public, which occupies the east
ern two-thirds of the island of
Hispaniola in the West Indies.
While there is great concern
among American officials that
a full-fledged war may break
out in the Caribbean, they are
eager to avoid casting the
United States in the role OF
'big brother"
For this reason, the United
States is understood to be seek
ing an alternate method OF

President Signs Bill
Raising Maximum

-
President Eisenhower today
signed into law a bill raising to
5h per cent the maximum In
terest rate on veterans hous-
ing loans guaranteed by the
Government.
The measure also authorized
an additional 500 million for
direct Federal laDligitas loans to
veterans in areas where private
capital is not generally avail
able for financing of home pur-
chases under the guaranteed
loan program.
Exercise Caut'ca
In a statement announcing
his approval of the legislation,
the President said the Veterans
Administrator will exercise
maximum caution in making
direct loans until 1t can be
determined whether the in
crease in the allowable interest
rate for guaranteed loans will
draw sufficient private capital
to that program.
Mr.. Eisenhower noted that
a "a per cent ceiling on guar
anteed home loans to veterans
has made such loans LESS and
less attractive" to private lend
ing institutions.
Increase Needed
He added that without the
increase In the interest rate
ceiling eligible veterans would
be virtually unable to obtain
the benefits of Veterans Ad-
ministration loans guaranteed
by the Government"
The President insisted that
sit would have been prefer
able" as he recommended. to
have given the Veterans Ad-
ministration the same tlexi-
bility in interest rates as the
Federal Housing Administra-
ton already has for compar-
able programs.
1.-THE veterans administrator
would then have a wider lati-
tude within which to set the
interest rate and, as a result,
veterans would have a greater
assurance that they would be
able to purchase a HON" un-
der the guaranteed loan pro-
gram" he said.

Red Industry Opens

Master Plan
Orders Wide
Automution

MOSCOW. June 80 (AP-
The Central Committee today
put before the Soviet people
a master plan to cut corners in
the race with the United States
for industrial supremacy.
The plan, adopted at a five
day meeting of the committee
at which Premier Nikita S.
Khrushchev made the main
speech, was spread over three
and one-half pages of Pravda
and Izvestia.
1t calls for widespread auto
nation in industrial plants, re-
tooling and mass mobilization
of scientific and efficiency ex-
.perts.
It also calls for tightened
central control by the party
and government to assure q
uniform industrial advance on
a broad front to achieve goals
of the seven-year economic
plan. The seven-year plan aims
at surprising the United
States. but one industrial ex-
pert, Averki B. Aristov, frankly
told the committee the task of
modernizing is too big to be
accomplished in the seven-year
plan.
Conservatism Assailed q.
The central committee raped
hard at the technical con-
servatism of Soviet engineers
and at the tendency in the
newly decentralized system Of
control for factories to give
priority to local needs.
1t admitted that workers,
engineers and technicians could
not be expected to work to-
ward the new plan with the
desired fervor without increas-
ing their economic incentives.
The committee said some of
those who were pushing new
techniques were worse of finan.
cially than those who stuck to
the old way of doing things.
The flve-day session at the
Kremlin disclosed that Soviet
industry is modernly equipped
in some fields and badly out of
dste in others.
Mr.. Aristov told the commit.
tee he "blushed at the out
dated equipment. heavy manual
work and lew productivity still
existing in many industries.
Rolling Mills Antiquated
o. 80 steel rolling mills in
the Russian republic, he said,
II were of the 10Th and even
18th century. Some of these an
tiqueS, he said. were 20 to 80
times less productive than mod
ern rolling mills.
Because of the difficulties of
carrying out modernization
under the Seven-year plan, the
central committee ordered con.
centration on projects likely to
show quick and significant re-
suits.
1t suggested that open pit
mining be given priority as the
fastest way to overcoming cer-
tain bottlenecks, and it sought
similar shortcuts in other fields.
1t admitted automation was
still in its infancy in the So.
Wet Union, and gave experts
six months to work ont detailed
plans for its wider application.
A similar deadline was given
for a system of prior;tles in va
r.ous other fields. including
technical education. The CEN
tral committee said there was
an over production of special
lists in some fields, shortages in
others.
