Castro Moves
To New Spot,
Cubans Hear

HAVANA. Aug. 3 (AP). -
Ailing Fidel Castro reportedly
has moved out of his we'll
guarded suburban home to an
other well-guarded but more
secluded resting place.
A source close to the bearded
Prime Minister said Mr.. Castro
had been persuaded to leave his
residence in Cojimar about five
miles from Havana to avoid well
wishers and the curious so he
can get the complete rest his
doctors have ordered.
There was no official conflr-
nation of Mr.. Castro'S reported
move. 1t seemed unlikely there
would be any official word on
the leaders whereabouts or his
health until Saturday, when he
is scheduled to address the
closing session of the Com
munist-accented Latin Ameri-
can Youth Congress.
Another usually well-informed
source said last night Mr..
Castro planned to go through
with the speech as announced
in the pro-government news
paper La Gale and the Com
munist Organ Hoy. Earlier
semiofflcial quarters had scoffed
at the idea that Mr.. Castro
would address the Youth Con-
gress in view of the advice of
his doctors.
Rumors about Mr.. Castro
continued to fly fast and furi-
ously. One that gained little
credence was that he had flown
secretly to Geneva for treat
ment OF his allment, which has
been officially described as a
lung infection.
This rumor apparently
stemmed from the mysterious
flight Monday night of a Gu
bana Airfines plane. Its des-
tination remained secret. but
informants said it was headed
for Geneva.
Newsmen who kept watch at
the airport said the plane ap-
peared to carry a double crew
and six civilian passengers, one
OF them a woman. Poor light
ing made identification of the
passengers impossible, but one
reporter who got a close look
said none resembled Mr.. Castro.
Eleven seats had been re-
moved from the plane. appar-
emily to make room for four
foam rubber mattresses and
what appeared to be a double
stretcher.

Cuban Memo
Accuses u. 5.
BY the Associated Press

Diplomatic sources say Cuba
has sent a memorandum to
the 1nter-American Peace Com
mittee accusing the United
States Of economic aggression
and other alleged anti-Cuban
actions.
The memorandum, described
as "a pages long, repeatedly
was sent to the committee
June 90.
The Peace Committee func-
tions through the organization
of American States. 1t is sched-
uled to present a report to a
coming meeting of OAS for
eign ministers on its study of
Caribbean tensions.
The Cuban action means
that its charges. along with
those Of the United States
against Cuba. will be consid-
cred by the ministers, through
the report of the f1ve-nation
Peace Committee.
Diplomatic sources here said
the memorandum deals with
alleged economic aggression"
protection of war criminals"
pirate flights" an accusation
of violation of Cuban territorial
waters by United States planes
and warships and what is
termed a propaganda cam
paign" against Cuba.

Flew 10 Cuba

Two missing employees Of the
National Security Agency have
definitely been traced to Cuba
where they dropped out of
sight, official sources said today.
Bernon F. Mitchell, 81, and
William H. Martin, 29, both Of
Laurel, Md, friends of long
standing, flew to Havana from
Mexico City on June 25, and
there their trail was lost by
military intelligence agents.
The two mathematicians for
the super-secret agency flew to
the Mexican capital on June
"a, the day after they told
friends they were going on a
leisurely automobile trip to the
West Coast to visit their
parents.
Instead, they went to Mexico
City, where. they remained only
long enough to arrange pass
age to the Caribbean island.
Under normal circumstances,
1t would have been relatively
easy for United States and
Cuban authorities to cooper
ate on tracking down the miss
ing men. But current strained
relations between the United
States and the Castro govern
ment complicate the investiga-
ton.
Mr.. Mitchell, who lives at
1910 Eighth street, Laurel, and
Mr.. Martin, who lives in a
Laurel motel, are both Navy
veterans and unmarried. The
search for them got under way
on July 18 when the two men
failed to return from their
scheduled vacations.

has applied for a Federal interstate

Unless the present Legislature

Freewoys and Monuments

The latest expression of concern by
the Fine Arts Commission over the i'm
pact OF the inner loop freeway in the
Lincoln Memorial area is understand
able, and is one which most Washing
tonianS will view with sympathy. It's
recommendation that the Commission
erS defer action" on this project until
some indefinite period in the future,
however, is less than realistic for several
reasons.
No one can differ seriously with the
commissions great regret that this me-
mortal area, rich in parks and symbolic
in many ways of the greatest values Of
the Nations Capital, will be encroached
upon by streams of automobiles, exhaust
fumes and multiple slabs of concrete
roads and overpasSeS. The protection Of
these values is the purpose for which
the Fine Arts Commission was created,
and its continued warnings serve to en-
phaSize the need to minimize harmful
impacts to the greatest degree possible.
We join the Fine Arts members, also,
in hoping that the Capital region may
develop an extensive rapid transit SyS-
Mass Transportation Survey, which rec
oginzeS the obvious fact that the tre-
mendous traffic volumes of the future
cannot be handled by highways alone.
Even the Transportation Survey,
however, which for the first time pro-
posed detailed rapid transit scheme,
stressed that no practical degree Of
froncit 70 hn
tremendous system of new freeWayS as
well. And of them all, none seems to
us as critical as the District loop free
way which will permit traffic flowing
toward the city on radial highways to
diSperSe around the downtown Strangu-
lation point.
Other programs may be conducted,
along with improved transit, to reduce
the impact of traffic. Among them are
the development of major employment
centerS in the suburbs, and the return
of SuburbaniteS to improved areas Of
the city, where their travel demands
would be reduced. These, however, are
palliativeS; they are not alternatives,
for no one who has studied the problem
believes that automobile traffic will fail
to grow by leaps and bounds-no matter
what else happens.
The Theodore Roosevelt Memorial
Bridge already is under construction,
and the additional traffic it will bring
to the Lincoln Memorial area would be
intolerable under present conditions.
There must be wide, free-fowing roads
to disperSe these automobiles, and this
is major function of the inner loop
in that vicinity. The project for a tunnel
under the Memorial grounds, for which
design contract has been let, will offer
some protection to the Lincoln shrine.
But if the loop network is not built, the
results could become intolerable.

Tempting WindfoN

The mercenary aspect of effective
billboard control by the States is prop
erly subordinate to the esthetic consid-
erationS involved in roadside protection.
But, in view of Virginia's serious short
age of highway funds, the legislators at
Richmond can hardly be expected to
overlook the benefits which the State
would receive in extra Federal highway
aid if the current General Assembly
enacts an adequate signboard control
law.

lative Committee is not unmindful of the

Touring President

More than anything else, Mr.. Eisen-
hower'S address last evening was de-
signed to prepare favorable climate for
his visit to South America. And the effort
was SucceSSful-to the extent that
speech can achieve such purpose.
Three things concerned the Presi-
dent. First, he sought to reaSsure our
neighborS to the South in the matter
Of the United States military power.
In an oblique slap at his domestic critics,
he said that our strength is so great
as to command and justify the respect
of "knowledgeable and unbiased OBJ
servers" at home and abroad. He was
also at pains, however, to explain why
this country had felt compelled to sink
so much of our national wealth in mill
tary weapons, and to give assurance
that our military forces were designed
to serve but one purpose-the mainten-
ance of peace.
Next, Mr.. Eisenhower emphasized
our desire to extend helping hand to
our Latin American friends in bringing
about fuller life for everyone in the
hemisphere" Finally, he struck hard
at Communist claims that the United
States has held Latin America in "a
colonial relationship"
1t may seem strange to most of
us here at home that the President
should feel any need to stress these
points. But sometimes, in our own con-
viction that we are doing the right and
the decent thing, we take too much for
granted the readiness of others to share
our viewpoint. And this is especially the
case, as Mr.. Eisenhower put it, when
''the lie and distortion" are used as
instruments of diplomatic policy. In
these situations it becomes necessary
from time to time to put the record
straight. This is what the President was
undertaking to do in his talk last eve
ming, and we hope he will be able to
complete the job in the face-to-face
discussions he will have with state Of
ficials in Brazil, Argentina, Chile and
Uruguay.

TO Sound q Call =

Although it is not likely to accom-
plish anything spectacular, President
EiSenhoWer's new Commission on Ma
tional Goals should be able to render a
useful service in counseling our country
on the actual and potential challenges
Of these fast-changing times.
In any case, declaring that 1t has
"the opportunity to sound a call for
greatness to a reSolute people," the
President has instructed the commission
which is to operate as an independent
group free of direct connections with
the White House or the Government at
large-to identify the great issues Of
our generation and describe our objec-
tiveS in these various areas" Further,
he has requested it to develop broad
outline of co-ordinated national policies
and programs for the next decade and
longer"
This is very large order, and past
experience with similar undertakings by
various types of committees or panels Of
experts warrants certain amount Of
skepticism about the new commissions
practical value. Yet it is commission
made up of outstanding Americans ex-
ceptionally well qualified to carry out
. the task given them by the President.
They include Dr. Henry M. Wriston,
Frank Pace, jr., DR.. James R. Killian,
jr., General Alfred M. Gruenther, Judge
Learned Hand, DR.. James B. Conant,
Colgate w. Darden, jr., George Meany,
Erwin D. Canham, Clark Kerr and Craw-
ford H. Greenwalt
These are men of great ability and
experience in wide variety of fields
covering a broad spectrum of human
endeavor So the commission itself, since
they constitute it's membership, has a
caliber that commands respect and con-
f1dence of high order. Certainly the
quality of the group holds out the
promise that its work will be productive,
that the ideas it formulates will be far
from platitudinous and that its final
report on our national goals will be we'll
worth the careful attention of all think
ing Americans.
To say this, of course, is not to Sug-
geSt that the members of the new COM
mission are going to devise a magic
formula for building better world. 1t
is merely to suggest that the President
has done we'll in choosing them and that
they probably will have good advice to
offer America when their worA is done.
