Cuba JET Deal
Not Yet Final,
BritainSays

LONDON. Oct. IT, (AP).-
Britain has labeled as prema-
ture reports that it is planning
Ito sell Jet fighters to the
government Of Cuba.
But the Foreign Office re-
fused last night to comment
on a formal United States move
to block any such transaction.
1.-THE whole matter still is
under consideration" a Foreign
Office spokesman said. mo de-
cision has yet been taken"
Earlier the United States
State Department revealed it
had lodged an Official objection
to a proposed sale of British
Jets to the Cubans. Along with
Britain and other friendly
countries, the United States has
been trying to limit the flow of
arms into the troubled Carib-
bean region.
Protest Not Received
The British spokesman said
that the terms of the American
objection have not yet reached
London.
Britain has been sympathet-
ically. weighing a request by
Prime Minister Fidel Castro's
government for help to mod
ernize it air force.
The Cubans last month had
suggested a replacement deal {:
They would surrender II obso-
lete piston-engined British
built Sea Furies. in return for
II short-range Hunter Mark S
jet fighters.
Qualified sources here had
Ilet it be known the Foreign Of
flee favored the deal even
though it had not yet been
brought before the cabinet for
decision.
This was said to have been
the Foreign Office reasoning:
wouldn't Upset Embargo
The arrangement would not
really upset the Caribbean arms
embargo because Cuba would
be undermining, not increasing,
her ornaments.
The jets were counted as de-
fenSive armor and the Cubans
have claimed they feel threat
ened by neighborhing Domini-
can Republic.
The obsolete Sea Furies had
been delivered to Cuba just be-
fore Castro custer the regime
of Fulgencio Batista.
Castro would be able to buy
jets elsewhere if Britain did not
supply them.
Finally, with her extensive
investments in Cuba, Britain
has a stake in preserving good
relations in Cuba's ruler despite
their politics.

Defense Department officials
were skeptical today about re-

But there was no doubt that
the Soviet can do so with the

President Eisenhower Monday

tive will be free to seek a court
injunction that would halt the

Mitchell Talks Tonight
Secretary Mitchell is ex-
pected to urge in a Pittsburgh
speech tonight that the Ma
ton take a lesson from the
steel strike and make arrange
ments for such public boards
as DR.. Taylor'S to function in
big strikes ahead Of the emer-
gency stage.
Mr.. Mitchell speaks before
the Pennsylvania Newspaper
Publishers Association. He is
expected to urge new legisla-
ton to authorize the President
to name investigating boards
as part of mediating balky
labor disputes. The idea is to
focus public attention on issues
and prevent deadlocks such as
developed in steel.
It's Mr.. NIitchell's conviction
such boards could avoid sug-
costing settlement terms but
spotlight the real troubles and
thereby aid in their solution.
DR.. Taylor's group performed
such a function, Mr.. Mitchell
was said to believe, but only
after an emergency developed.

bility is being seriously dis
cuSsed.
An unsuccessful attempt Fri
day morning to assassinate
Francois Mitterand has given
uncomfortable substance to
rumors that an organized group
of terrorists may be plotting a
series of assassinations in a
desperate attempt to Illustrate
Gen. de Gaulle's peace plans
for Algeria. Mr.. Mitterand. a
leading figure of the political
left who served as Interior
Minister in the government OF
Pierre Mendes, France. mar
rowly escaped a hail of machine
gun bullets as he drove home
from a restaurant. The would
be assassin escaped.
Warns of Plots
The attack followed a cryptic
warning delivered a few hours
earlier in the National Assem-
bly, by Deputy Lucien Neuwirth
of new plots afoot against the
safety of the state. A loyal
Gaullist who played a leading
part in the Algerian uprising
in May, 1858, Mr.. Neuwirth has
himself received threats from
right-wing extremists.
1.-THE drama" he declared,
"could begin tomorrow. Al
ready teams of killers have
crossed the Spanish frontier.
The people to be murdered
have been designated. The
hope is to impress the public
enough that it will not inter-
vene."
The reaction at the time was
to dismiss the warning as a
Pigment of an overexcited i'm
agination. Since the attack on
Mr.. Mitterand, however, the
tendency to laugh off the talk
about hired killers has stopped
abruptly. Instead there is an
agitated chorus of comment
calling for a strenuous crack
down by authorities. Security
precautions for leading public
figures are being taken and
guards on public buildings
including Gen. de Gaulle's
residence at the Elysee Palace
have been doubled.
France Appalled,
Real or not, the threat
against the life of Gen de-
Gaulle is suddenly being taken

Protest by Negroes
An hour before adjournment,
Robert Battle III, a Negro dele
gate from the Detroit area, led
As Negroes from the conven-
ton floor in protest against the
union leadership making the
civil rights resolution the last
order of business.
Talking to newsmen, Mr..
Battle called this a slap in the
face" and claimed Mr.. Reuther
had promised to bring up the
resolution earlier. a..
On the convention floor,
% other delegates complained
that the civil rights issue was
put of until most of the dele
gates had started homeward
and only several hundred Of
the $500 were left.
Mr.. Reuther told the COM
vention that action on the
resolution had been delayed
because of the time required to
revise the JAW constitution.
The revision was to meet tech
nical requirements of the new
labor reform law.
Cites Revision Job
He said the convention spent
more time revising the consti-
tuition than had all JAW con-
ventions in the last Is years.
II am sorry a number of dele
gates left" Mr.. Reuther said.
He added the union Leadership
considered civil rights a top
priority item.
The civil rights issue was
not a controversial one in the
JAW, but some delegates in
sisted that the AFL-CIO give
affiliated unions practicing dis
elimination a definite time
limit to remove color bars.
The convention approved an
overall collective bargaining
program with emphasis on a
shorter work week. The dele
gates will meet in a special
session in the spring Of 1861
to shape specific demands to
be made in the next round Of
negotiations with the auto
makers. "..'.

On the particular subject oil

ruefully admitted that I'VE
should have been more thought
full and critical of the whole
idea of exposing to millions oil

Mr.. Stanton's speech already

Reheuring Given
In Morals Case
Involving Boy

The United States Court OF
Appeals yesterday granted a
rehearing by the full nine-man
bench of the case of Kenneth
Larkin, convicted of indecent
assault on a 14-year-old boy.
Last July. a three judge
panel. dividing 2 to l, upheld
Larkin'S conviction. At that
time the court majority ruled
that the boys social record in
the hands of juvenile authori-
tees could not be subpoenaed.
Attorney James j. Laughlin,
representing Larkin, had said
he needed the data to attack
the lads credibility as a wit
ness.
/ In addition, the court held
that the boy could not be asked
whether he had made similar
molestation complaints against
other men in the past.
In the majority at that time
were Chief Judge E. Barrett
Prettyman and Judge John A.
Danaher. Judge Henry w. Ed
gerton had dissented.
In another action yesterday,
the appellate court refused to
rehear the appeal of Edith l.
Hough to gain conditional re-
lease from st. Elizabeths Hos
pital.
Miss Hough had been COM
mitted to the hospital after
being found not guilty, by rea-
son of insanity, of the fatal

Fired Missiles in Ocean

into the Pacific northwest of
Hawaii.
Pentagon officials did not
take direct issue with Mr.
Brooks. They recalled a recent
statement by DR.. Herbert York
Defense director of research
and engineering, that he ac-
ceptetd as a fact that the Rus
slams have long-ranging mis-
SileS.
Land Tests Cited
DR.. York, in a recent new:
conference, said the Russians
had conducted most of theil
known missile tests over a land
range extending from the
eastern part of the USSR to
the northeastern-most area OF
Siberia. DR.. York explained
that this overland range
though falling somewhat short
of a full intercontinental dis
lance, was ample to permit
testing of Russia's most power
full missile rockets.
Mr.. Brooks said recent hear
ings of his committe revealed
that the Russians have fired
intercontinental missiles from
near Moscow 5000 or 5000
miles into the Pacific.
He declined to elaborate but
said the firings had been known
to United States officials for
the past few months. Mr.
Brooks also declined to say
how the firings had been de-
tected, saying that was CLASH
fed information.
Atlas OperatiOnal
The United States has on
an operational status the pow
erful 85-foot Atlas, fired sue
cessfully by Air Force combat
troops from Vandenberg Air
Force Base in California last
month. It was aimed at a tar
get area 4,400 miles away in
the area of Wake Island.
The Atlas has the greatest
range of any war-ready mis-
siles in the United States ar
senal. 1t is capable of flights
over distances Of up to $500
miles at speeds of $4,000 miles
an hour.
A few Aliases are on launch
ing pads at Vandenberg and
could hit vital Russian install
lations Is minutes after
launching.
Mr.. Brooks, discussing space
exploration, predict d the
United States will put a man
in space early in 1861. He said
the Russians may accomplish
this a year earlier.

Red China a Factor
In effect Mr.. Berding argued
that the degree of sincerity be-

be judged not only by the &C
tons of the Soviet Union but
also by the actions of Red
China.
His criticism of Mr.. Khru-
shchev's doctrine of peaceful
co-existence was one of the
strongest and most direct yet
made by a ranking United
States official and one Of the
few in the week since the
Camp David conference be-
tween President Eisenhower
and the Soviet leader.
The phrase. Mr.. Berding said.
has a seductive flavor" But
he said it does not mean peace
as Americans understand it but
rather a prolonged armiStice
between East and West during
which political, theological and
economic struggles continue.
Also, Mr.. Berding said, the
Soviet Union intends under
peaceful co-existence to wage a
relentless campaign for the ulti-
mate triumph of communism
over the world. If in the mean
time the Western powers were
to become militarily weak and
disunited, Mr.. Berding said.

appalling consequences for the
nation If an attempted assas-
sination should succeed.
Behind the concern for the
Presidents safety is a growing
realization that today, quite
simply, he represents the only
real element of stability and CO.
herence in France. He alone
commands the support of the
mass of the people. He alone
has the authority to impose
his policies on politicians of
widely divided PHILOSOPHERS. He
alone can exact discipline from
an army which in the past
has shown a tendency to take
matters into its own hands.
This enormous authority
furthermore is strictly personal,
Behind Gen. de Gaulle there is
no political organization capa-
BILE of carrying on without him
His own government includes
ministers of every political
stripe whose only bond is their
common loyalty to him. With
Gen. de Gaulle it is a simple
fact that France would have no
government worth the name.
Unhealthy State
The condition of Frances po-
litical parties is no healthier.
In the National Assembly this
week an overwhelming majority
of deputies voted to uphold the
Presidents Algerian policies. 1t
would be going too far to claim
however that the result re-
f1ected miraculous new political
stability. If anything it proved
rather that France a year after
the institutions of the Fifth Re-
public were created is still in a
state Of political paralysis in
which politics in the normal
sense of the word have no place
whatever.
So far as most Frenchmen
are concerned this situation is
inevitable if not desirable. I'm
til the Algerian war is settled,
the concentration of so much
authority in the hands of one
man seems the only possible
solution. For the majority the
luxury of normal political life
in France must await the re-
turn of peace.
The risks involved, however,
have taken on a somewhat
frightening new clarity in the
light of recent developments.
Most observers here believe
that the assassination of Gen.
de Gaulle would set off an i'm
mediate military coup d'etat
and quite possible a civil war.
In these circumstances it is
disquieting enough to think of
Gen. de Gaulle as even being
mortal. and the thought that
his life might actually be in
danger is very upsetting in
deed.
