Cutting Of More Cables
Reported on Nautilus

The Navy, which earlier in
the week described as "appar-
emily intentional" the damage
suffered by the sub, said it
appeared limited to electrical
cables and "does not extend to
the nuclear reactor plant"
Armed guards are on a "a
hour watch in every compart-
ment of the famed underwater
craft, which has travelled be-
meath the Polar ice cap and
set an Atlantic underwater
crossing record of six days and
IL hours.
The Herald said it learned
the Nautilus "had been plagued
by a pattern of damage which
has raised suspicion of Sabo-
tage."
The newspaper said usually
reliable sources informed it
that the Navy and the FBI
are questioning all shipyard
employees who now work or ever
have done any work on the
Nautilus.
The employees are being ques-
toned in groups of four at a
time, the Herald added.

Locally, egg prices rose 1877
per cent, an increase for the
third consecutive month. Prices
of fruits and vegetables were
higher by 6 per cent here,
mainly because of a 6 per cent
increase in fresh fruits.
A department spokesman said
the AuguSt-September figures
were not regarded as a sign of
creeping imitation" The price
fluctuations, he said, rather re-
fleet seasonal changes.
Owing to these same seasonal
influences, he added, consumers
could hope for a drop in food
prices this month, as well as a
decline in the price of meats
in November. On the other
hand, he added, the overall
price index doubtleSsly will be
affected by the introduction oil

1-cent-a-gallon increase in the
Federal gasoline tax.

Judge Pine Replies
Judge Pine replied on Oc-

he recognized the difficulties
and therefore recommended to
all District Court Judges that
they send all mental examina-
ton cases in the future for 80

Judge Pine said 1t was the

mental competency to stand
trial and mental condition at
the time of the trial-which
overtaxed the facilities at st.

"deprives persons of a speedy
trial" and added he had taken
the matter up with the United
States Attorneys Office and
officials of District General
Hospital.
The recommendation to the
other judges, he said. was
prompted by a letter he re-
ceived on October Is from DR..
Winfred S. Overholser. Super
|intendent of st. Elizabeths,
calling attention to the fact
that so many cases were being
sent to the hospital that they
we're overtaxing facilities.
DR.. Overholser confirmed the
situation, declaring the mental
hospital is short of both doctors
and ward personnel.
1--WE are in this new building,
the John Howard Pavilion, but
one floor remains unopened be-
cause we have no personnel to
man it," DR.. Overholser said.
He said the hospital needs
about so ward workers as well
as additional doctors. Some of
these workers are being trained
now and it may be possible to
open more beds around January
l, he declared. But he pointed
out that the hospital did not
receive an appropriation for
this purpose until after July.
Waiting List Now
1--WE want to take our time
when we give these mental ex-
aminations," DR.. Overholser
said. 1T may not take us 80
days but there is a slight wait
ing list now and we have had
to ask for extensions in the
past"
The situation was disclosed
in District Court today when

Star STAFF Writer

United States District Judge
Alexander Holtzoff today ruled
that Vice Admiral Lyman G.
Rickover had the right to copy
right speeches he delivered.
Judge Holtzoff dismissed a
suit brought by Public Affairs
Associates, Inc, publishers who
sought to have the copyright
banned on the ground that
speeches by a public official
using Government facilities
and prepared on Government
time" were public property.
But Judge Holtzof declared:
&c. No one sells or mortgages
all the products of his brain
to his employer by the mere
fact of employment. The Off
Ger or employee still remains a
free agent.
His intellectual products
are his own, and do not auto
matically become the property
of the Government. The cir
cumstance that the ideas for
the literary product may have
been gained in whole or in
part as a result or in the course
of the performance of his Off
cial duties, does not affect the
situation"
No Precedent Seen
According to the opinion, the
question raised was a novel one
which never had been decided
by any court of appeals.
Judge Holtzoff distinguished
the Rickover case from in
stances in which material is
prepared by a Government en-
ploye as part of his official
duties and issued by the Gov
eminent as a public document,

LONDON, Oct. % (AP).-
Moscow urged today that the
East-West summit meeting be
called quickly-the earlier the
better.
A Soviet statement in effect
lined up with the United
States and Britain, which
have been thinking of a De-
cember meeting. Moscow did
not mention French President
Charles de Gaulle's holdout
for a spring session, but said

of urgent problems with a view
to relaxing international ten-

Moscow's broadcast came

powers deliberated over a pre-
liminary get-together of theiJ
own, perhaps in Paris.
Seeks to End Confusion
The Tass statement sought I'd
clear up what it called con.

said. The material belongs to
the Government, he said, and
the law places it in the public
domain. The law expressly
prohibits the Government from
procuring copyrights.
Judge Holtzoff cited a second
category involving literary prod
ucts of Government employees
which have no connection with
their official activities. AS in
stances he pointed to a novel
or poetry written by an employe
whose duties are unrelated to
the subject. In such cases, he
said, the author has a literary
property which could be copy

Sees Third Category
The Rickover case, he said,
comes in a third category in

products of a Government Off
Ger that have some bearing

dress in question, is no part of

Cuban Leader
Threatens 10
Arm Peasants
Castro Rups U. S.,
Which He Claims
Allows Air Raids

HAVANA, Cuba, Oct. %
(AP).-Fdel Castro announced
early today that he will raise
an armed militia Of laborers
and peasants if bombings by
his opponents continue.
The black-bearded Prime
Minister threatened his OPP
position with a militia in a
f1ve-hour television speech
which included the strongest
attack he has ever delivered
against the United States.
He also called for a demon
stration on Monday by a mil
lion citizens to protest aerial
raids he charged were carried
out by "counter-revolutionary
planes based in the United
States" Presumably Havana
again will be thronged by
peasants from the countryside,
brought in to cheer the leader
of the revolution that over
threw Fulgencio Batista.
Man With Knife Seized
Mr.. Castro appeared in his
favorite electronic forum after
two mystery planes showered
Havana on Wednesday with
leaflets attacking his regime
anti = Castro gangs roared
through the capital in cars
throwing small bombs and
grenades, and the revolutionary
army's commander in Cana
guey Province resigned along
with 80 of his officers in protest
against Communist influence in
the Castro movement.
A few hours before the tele-
cast, the prime minister's
bodyguard seized a drunken,
knife-carrying Cuban factory
worker at a street-corner
demonstration around - Mr..
Castro on the cry of a teen
ager that that man has a
knife! He is going to kill
Fidel!"
Police hustled the man away
from the angry mob for ques-
tioning on whether he was bent
on assassination. Hours later
police said the man, a 44-year-
old upholsterer named Robert
Salas Hernandez. would ap-
pear for a court examination
today. Early today no charges
had been filed against him.
Authorities said Salas, when
seized, said, This is an in
justice; I am a supporter of
Fidel." Mr.. Castro told the
television audience he didn't
think Salas planned to attack
him.
Raises Guantanamo Threat
Charging that the two mys-
terry planes dropped bombs as
well as leaflets, Mr.. Castro
raised a yelled threat against
the future of the big United
States naval and air base at
Guantanamo, on the southeast
coast of Cuba.
"The country was bombed in
peacetime without being at
war by planes based in the
United States" he shouted.
What kind of reciprocity is
it when, in return for our per-
hitting them a base at Guam
tanamo, we are bombed by
counter-revolutionary planes
based in the United States?
