U. 5. Hearing
Inks Cubans

HAVANA, July IL (AP).-
The appearance Of ex-Cuban
Air Force Chief Pedro Diaz
LAM before public hearing OF
the Senate Internal Security
Subcommittee. tentatively set
for Monday, is expected to in
fame the anti-Americanism
among some supporters of
Prime Minister Fidel Castro.
There are many Cubans who
oppose any criticism at all Of
the Castro regime.
Observers here predicted Mr..
Castro himself would be angry
on learning Of Mai. Diaz LAM
appearance. The former Air
Force chief already has ap-
peared at a secret session of
the subcommittee.
Maj. Diaz LAM resigned June
20 charging that Cuba's armed
forces were inflltrated with
Communists.
Mr.. Castro and his followers
have repeatedly denied there
is any threat from Communism
in Cuba.
AS news Of the latest develop
ment in the case Of Mai. Diaz
LAM reached Havana, Acting
Foreign Minister Armando Hart
told newsmen his government
would soon formally request
the extradition of ex-senator
Rolando Masferrer and other
supporters Of former Dictator
Fulgencio Batista who have
taken refuge in the United
States. Gen. Batista himself
is in exile in Ciudad Trjillo,
capital of the Dominican Re-
public.
Mr.. Hart said Cuba would re-
fuse to recognize the right of
Mr.. Masferrer and others to
political asylum in the United
States because they are not
political refugees but those who
are fleeing charges of murder,
robbery and misappropriation
of public funds"
He named as immediate tar
gets of extradition Mr.. Mas
ferrer-who had his own pri-
Yate army here-the ex-deputy
chief Of the national police, Col.
Conrado Carratala, and the
former chief of naval intelli-
gence, Capt. Julio Laurent.
The acting foreign minister
indicated the decision to de-
mand the return Of these fugi-
tiveS was speeded by the July
4 fight between Cuban factions
in Miami, in which the Cuban
consul was beaten up.

Cancer Pact

A worldwide alliance against
cancer is the goal Of a Senate
Government Operations Sub
committee headed by Senator
Humphrey, Democrat of Min
nesota.
A 41-page report soon to be
released by the subcommittee
names cancer as the second
largest cause Of death in the
Western world with two million
deaths a year. Only cardiovas-
cular diseases (heart and cir
culation) causes more.
Against a universal killer"
states Senator Humphreys
foreword to the report, man
kind must offer a universal de-
Misunderstanding cooperation. "
The report, based on hear
ings, correspondence with
health authorities throughout
the world, and Senator Hum
phrey's observations during his
travels, calls for an interna-
tional approach to cancer re-
search.
The pattern of the disease
varies in different parts of the
world, the report observes, with
one type of cancer more preva-
lent in some countries than in
others. 1t suggests a pooling of
information from all countries
to make all available knowl-
edge on the disease readily
accessible.
In the foreword Senator
Humphrey expresses support
for the bill introduced by Sen
ator Hill. Democrat of Alabama,
providing for a National Insti-
tute for International Medical
Research.

NegroDefends
Tennis Site

NEW YORK, July II (AP).-
Althea Gibson, Negro tennis
star, said today she is opposed
to moving championship
matches from Forest Hills be-
cause of a Juror over the Forest
Hills Clubs membership poll
cies.
The Juror arose after Ralph
Bunche, Nobel Peace Prize
winner and United Nations
official, said the president of
the West Side Tennis Club at
Forest Hills had turned Mr..
Bunche and his young son down
for membership because they
are Negroes.
Acting Mayor Abe Stark has
announced he would try to get
the Davis Cup matches next
month and the National Cham
pionship matches in September
moved from Forest Hills to
another stadium.
viii Still Practice There
Miss Gibson, who has de-
scribed the clubs attitude
toward Mr.. Bunche as "ridicu-
lous," said she would continue
to practice at Forest Hills "if
they invite me-"
II don't think that tennis or
the tennis players and fans
should be penalized by taking
the Davis Cup or the National
matches out of the only actual
tennis stadium in the United
States" she said.
Meanwhile, a member of the
West Side Club, Jinx Falken-
ourg's mother, Mrs. Leroy Wag-
staff, called for a poll of the
clubs membership on the issue.
Challenges designations
Noting that Mr.. Bunche
quoted the clubs president,
Wilfred Burglund, as saying
hundreds Of members would
resign If the Bunches were adj
mitted, Mrs. Wagstaff said:
II just don't believe that
hundreds would resign. I never
knew that such restrictions ex-
listed because such a thing has
never come up before. And I
think many of the people we
play tennis with never knew it
either"
Mrs. Wagstaff once played
in championship matches her
self, as did her three children,
Bob, Tom and Jinx Falken-
burg. Jinx later went into mod
cling, then became a movie
and televiSion actress.

Hennings Hits
Mallory Shift

Senator Hennings, Democrat
Of Missouri, yesterday went on
record against any legislation
to clarity or. as he put 1t. to
reverse" the Supreme Courts
Mallory decision.
The 1857 decision reversed
the death penalty rape convic-
ton Of Andrew Mallory on the
ground his confession should
not have been used at his trial
because of delay between ar
rest and arraignment.
A House-passed bill, provid-
ing that otherwise admissible
confessions should not be ruled
out solely because of delay be-
tween arrest and arraignment,
is now pending in the Senate
Judiciary Committee.
Senator Hennings, who held
hearings last year on the legal
impact Of the Mallory decision,
said predictions that the de-
cision would shatter law en-
forcement have not come true.
"Since the decision in the
Mallory case" he said, "our
courts and prosecutors have
somehow managed to continue
to operate sanely, soundly and
efficiently and our police have
been able to work within the
framework of the decision.
He argued that no Clarity
ing legislation is needed and
that Cangress should leave the
matter to the courts to work
out on a case-by-case basis.
Il am convinced" he said,
chat the rule laid down in the
Mallory decision is preferable
to the various pending propos-
ais in this same field. Its test
of resonableness will go further
toward effective law enforce
ment and, at the same time,
provide greater protection to
the legal and constitutional
rights of citizens suspected of
crimes"
