GENEVA, July ia United
States spokesman charged to-
day that Premier Khrushchev's
latest speeches show the Soviet
Union wants to perpetuate the
division of Germany.
Assistant Secretary Of State
Andrew H. Berding declared
that in statements made by
the Soviet Premier on his cur

strange contradiction to any
idea Of reunif1cation Of East
and West Germany"
''It looks like Che wants.
the perpetuation of the present
division of Germany" Mr..
Berding said.
He spoke with newsmen soon
after foreign ministers of the
United States, Britain, France
and West Germany met for 80
minutes on strategy in the Big
Four conference.
Western informants said the
four remained peSsimiStic about
chances of working out a stop
gap Berlin settlement with
Russia.
Red Contradiction Seen
Mr.. Berding said the United
States does not yet have the
text of Mr.. KhruShchev's speech
yesterday at Szczecin but had
received extracts which said:
1.-THE frontier which we will
defend is now between East
Germany and West Germany.
This is the frontier which
divides the world of socialism
and the world of capitalism,
and we will defend this frontier
with all our strength"
Mr.. Berding said the Ameri-
can delegation here felt this
contradicted Soviet insistence
that it was seeking unification
of Germany.
Turning to reports of a di-
vision on policy among the
Western powers, Mr.. Berding
claimed the meeting Of the
Western ministers this morn

Union Reform
Bill Agreeable
To AFL-C|0
But Hoffu Aides
Denounce Measure
OF House Group
BY LEE M. COIN
Star stan Writer

AFL-CIO spokesman said to-
day they are happy-in q very
subdued way-with the House
Labor Committees union re-
form bill.
No cheers echoed through
the labor federatioh's head
quarters here. But officials
were thankful that the com.
mittee rejected proposals fol
really tough regulation Of
union activities.
Although the AFL-CIO hopes
to win additional concessions
during House floor debate
spokesman limited they could
accept the bill written by the
committee. They vigorously
opposed the measure passed by
the Senate last April.
James r. Hoffa's Teamsters
Union - expelled from the
AFL-CIO on corruption charges
denounced the House COM
mittee's bill.
Union Busting" Charged
81 think it stinks." a Team
ster official said.
Although the committee i'm
proved the Senate bill, he said,
the gains were relatively minor.
On crucial points. he charged,
the House bill is "a setback for
the legitimate detectives of
labor" He said the bill goes
beyond reform to union-bust-
ing"
But an AFL,-CIo spokesman
said the House committees bill
looks considerably better than
the Senate bill" Despite the
committees concessions to the
labor viewpoint on several key
issues, he added. "it's not the
sort of thing where you would
write home to nom and say
you won q great victory"
The committee finished re-
writing the Senate bill yester-
day after adopting more than
100 amendments. A clean" bill
Incorporating all the changes
will be printed. and the COM
mittee will meet next Wednes-
day to vote official clearance Of
the measure. The Rules Com
mittee is expected to send the
bill to the House floor with
provision for extensive debate
and amendment. Floor debate
may start late this month or
early in August.
Committee Opinions Differ
No member of the committee
was completely satisfied with
the bill. Chairman Barden,
Democrat Of North Carolina,
and other critics Of unions
called the measure weak" even
weaker than the Senate version
they had assailed. Representa-
tive Roosevelt, Democrat of
California, and other friends
of labor called the House bill
better than the Senate meas
ure, but said it still contained
unduly restrictive provisions.
Factions on the committee
decided months ago to send a
bill-almost any bill-to the
House floor. During floor debate
they will try to reshape the
legislation through amend
ments. The main function of
the committee bill is to serve
as a framework for tinkering
by the full House.
Senate and House bills, while
similar in broad outline, differ
significantly in detail. Both
measures aim at discouraging
corruption by requiring unions
and companies to file reports
on finances; by safeguarding
rights of union members in

President
Leads Pleas
ByCubons
BY ROBERT BERRELLEZ

HAVANA, July Fidel
Castro today forced out Presi-
dent Manuel Urrutia and
touched of a mounting clamor
to withdraw his own resigna-
ton as Prime Minister.
The 32-year-old Castro began
his campaign to get rid Of the
man he personally chose az
chief of state yesterday by an
nouncing his own resignation.
Osvaldo Dorticos, who was
elected Cuba's new President,
made a public appeal to Mr..
Castro to stay in the govern
ment.
The cabinet pledged support
to him and refused to accept
his resignation.
Castro Triumphant
Nevertheless, a government
spokesman said Mr.. Castro's
resignation still stands. But
many believe it is only a matter
Of hours until he returns to the
prime ministership.
Mr.. Castro emerged tri-
umphant in a dramatic show
of strength that proved him
Cuba'S undiSputed strong man
and whether he remains as
Prime Minister was clearly his
own choice.
After a four-hour teleYision
speech accusing Mr.. Urrutia Of
undermining the revolutionary
regime, Mr.. Castro was asked
by American correspondents
whether he would withdraw his
resignation.
II have not given that q
thought at this moment" he
replied.
Revolution, organ Of Mr..
CaStro's 26th of July Movement,
said that Mr.. DorticoS will con-
fer with the Prime Minister
today and a special cabinet
meeting has been called.
Fight Over Communism
The newspaper said that
public pressure for Mr.. Castro
to stay as Prime Minister was
so heavy that it was certain
the President would make a
new appeal for him to remain
in the government.
The undercover feud be-
tween the Prime Minister and
Mr.. Urrutia, who was Mr.. Cas-
tro'S hand-picked President,
came to a head in a fight over
communism.
Feeling ran high against the
deposed President and he ap-
pealed to Raul Castro, COM
mander in chief of the armed
forces, for protection.
Mr.. Urrutia remained in the
Presidential Palace for more
than 3 hours after reSigning
and then slipped out by using
a ruSe to throw off the angry
crowd waiting outside.
While two cars sped out Of
opposite palace gates to draw
away the crowd, Mr.. Urrutia
and his family slipped into a
limousine and raced through
the main entrance. With him
were his wife and three chill
dren, including 1-year-old
Libertad liberty who is Mr..
Castro's goddaughter.
Shouting that he is no Com
munist, Mr.. Castro told a tele-
vision audience that Mr.. Urru-
tia tried to betray the revolu-
tionary regime by posing as
"the champion of anti-com-
munism."
His voice quivering, Mr.. Castro
said:
Il have often said I am not
a Communist and neither is
the revolutionary movement
Communist, but we do not have
to say we are ti-CommunistS
just to fawn on foreign
powers"
Mr.. Urrutia quit while watch

Griggs Can Equal So Total
By Beating Tigers Tonight
Senators Sturt
Improved HurIer
Against Burning
BY BURTON HAWKINS
Star stan Writer

Hal Gnggs, the one-time
bellhop who has taken to heart
the tips Of Pitching Coach
Boom-Boom Beck, will try to
match his 1858 victory pro-
duction tonight when he starts
for the Senators against De-
troit in a Ladies' Night game
at Griffith Stadium.
Griggs won only three games
last season and lost IL, but If
he triumphs over the Tigers to-
night he'll possess a refreshing
80 mark. The wiry right
handler who will be opposed by
the capable Jim Burning,
pitched a two-hit shutout
against the Yankees Saturday
in his last start and got an
extra day of rest when last
nights game was rained out.
Hal has provided the Sena-
tors little except humor since he
came up in 1856. Prior to this
season, he had accumulated
only four wins against 10 de-
feats. Now he has participated
IN the general improvement OF
the club this season by contrib
uting two key victories.
Sparkling Debut
Griggs was only a despera-
ton choice as a starter in the
second game of a double-header
against Cleveland on the Sena-
tors recent western trip. He
responded with an excellent eff
fort and beat the Indians. 3-1.
That run "a ninth inning
homer by Rocky Colavito-iS
the only blemish on his record.
That sparkling debut earned
Griggs a shot at the Yankees.
Again Hal delivered, this time
with a rare shutout against the
world champions. 1t was the
high point of his splotchy
career, but he has intentions of
carrying on and reaping the
reward of big money, which
thus far has eluded him.
Hal enters tonight's game

In the four score and three

The splendid southpaw
