He said defense officials de-

Mexico Bares
Cubans' Base

MEXICO CITY, July II
(AP). - Cuban mercenaries
planning an invasion of Mica
ragua have turned the coast
Of the territory of Quintana
Roo into q military base, the
newspaper Excelsior said today.
The report was in a dispatch
from Chetumal, capital Of the
territory. by a reporter sent to
check reports Of Cuban activi-
ties in the area.
At least a dozen Cubans who
landed on the coast of Quin-
tana Roo have been deported
in recent weeks. The territory
lies in Southeast Mexico along
the Yucatan peninsula on the
Caribbean.
The newspaper said the gov
ernor'S Office was informed last
week that a boat with CubanS
had anchored off the coast
near Vigia Chico.
A search led by Gen. David
Leon Arias, chief of the mill
tary zone, Melted a beached
fishing boat. It's sails and en-
CINE had been removed and its
nationality could not be estab-
liShed.
Natives were said to have
told officials that 81 men armed
with machineguns. hand gre
nades and pistoles came there
and remained IL days. They
were said to have taken food
and water from the natives.
The Cubans, officials were
told, tried to persuade Local
fishermen to go with them ano

inscription Liberty or death

of Nicaragua"
The natives said the adven-
turers frequently got drunk
and fired their arms for nc
reason. They repeatedly left
after IL days in another fishing
boat.

Admiral Rickover then asked

There was no reply.

Rickover said this operation at

If and when a bill reaches the
Senate floor a battle royal is
expected between liberals and
conservatives over its scope,

leaders can draft a compro-

is made satisfactory to the lib

pose it.

The commission will pass out
of existence in November I'M
less this session extends its life.
Senator Hruska said he voted
against the other proposal be-
cause he does not want the
Federal Government to get into
financial aid to education, and
because he believes the courts
should be given more time in
their efforts to solve the school

Rights Bill
GetsNewHope
BY J. A. O'LEARY
Star stan Writer

The outlook for civil rights
legislation at this session Of
Congress was brighter today
following a Senate subcommit-
tees first forward step on the
drafting of a bill.
The precarious road such a
measure must travel was indi-
Gated in the subcommittee
two actions yesterday. On the
one hand it voted, 4 to 8, to
extend the life Of the Civil
Rights Commission until jan
uary 81, 1861. On the other, it
rejected, 3 to 4, a liberal plan
to offer Federal aid as an in
ducement to Southern States
to integrate their schools.
The indications are that the
subcommittee will not turn out
a bill the liberals will find sat-
isfactory. But those interested
in getting action this year say
the important thing is to start
a bill moving toward the floor
and now that has been done.
Due to Expire In Fall
Unless extended, the Civil
Rights Commission is due to
make its final report Septem-
Der 8 and expire two months
later. The commission was ere
ated in 1857 to investigate COM
plants Of civil rights viola
lions and recommend congress
sional actions. It's supporters
say it has not had enough time
to do the job.
The subcommittee will meet
again Wednesday, and If fur
ther progress is made, the sub
tject may be taken to the full
Judiciary Committee.
If the bill encounters delay
ing tactics there, Senate leaders
will have to resort to the tech
nique they used in 1857. which
led to the passage Of the first
civil rights law in 80 years.
Then they waited for the
House to pass a bill, and took
1T up in the Senate without fol-
lowing the usual course Of Send

craft.
There was testimony yester-
day that sudden gust may
have caused the plane to stall
and go into its death plunge.
During the three days there
also was conjecture that. in an
attempt to recover from the
dive, the plane was torn apart.
The last radio report from
Capt. Paddock was that he was
slowing down to ITO knots be-
cause of rough air.
Could Induce Stall
Godfrey w. Weber, senior
design specialist for Vickers-
Armstrong, builders Of the
plane, theorized from the wit
ness stand that a sudden gust
of 10 feet per second at $4,000
feet could induce a stall in a
Viscount travelling at ITO knots
(about 200 miles an hour.
He also testified that the
Viscount was designed to with
stand stresses we'll above both

During the hearing, Mary
lands chief medical examiner,
DR.. Russell S. Fisher, said there
was ample evidence that vir-
tually all Of the plane occu-
pants suffered non-fatal in
juries before falling to the
ground, indicating they were
buffeted about in the airplane
before 1t disintegrated.
