Food Color
Curb Voted
By the Associated Press

The House Commerce Com
mittee voted yesterday to out
law food, cosmetic and drug
colors when laboratory tests
show they can cause cancer In
test animals or humans.
A similar prohibition already
applies to food additives.
In approving a bill extending
the anti-crusader provision to
color additives, the committee
beat down efforts to permit
setting of tolerances that
would allow questionable colors
to be used in limited quanti-
ties.
Committee disagreement over
this had stalled approval of the
controversial bill for more than
a week.
Secretary of Welfare Flem-
ming, who strongly backed the
bill, told the committee last
month that scientists don't
know enough about cancer to

Costro's Farm Reform
Seen Facing Collapse

HAVANA, June 8 (AP)-
Some ell-placed CubanS say
Fidel Castro'S agrarian reform
program-keystone of his social
and economic revolution-is
faltering. and that the Prime
Minister may soon give his
whole attention to trying to
save it.
The National Institute of
Agrarian Reform, which is
running the vast program of
land redistribution and eco
nomic development, appears to
be suffering from lack of or
ganization and proper direc-
ton, these sources report.
They predict that Mr.. Castro
will turn the actual direction
of the Cuban government over
to someone else and will take
over active supervision of the
agrarian reform institute.
Even some officials of the
Castro regime say the institute
has reached a state of virtual
bankruptcy through waste and
ineff1ciency, pouring millions
of dollars into projects which
may never pay of.
Super-State Seen
"INRA," as Cubans call the
institute, has developed into an
economic super-State. Created
to take land away from the big
owners and give it to the land
less peasants, 1t now operates
large-scale industrial, import,
export and commercial activi-
ties. And much of the land it
has seized is divided into CO.
operative farms which operate
under the institutes direct

plan. Group Health Associa-
ton, the third major plan here,
has no maximum ceiling on

cal services under its nigh
option plan.
The indemnity plan under
Its high-option feature pro-
videS an overall $4,000 cash
value maximum, including both
basic and supplemental (catas-
trophie) benefits. However,
$1,000 is added to the value
each year whenever the medi-
cal expenses of an employe or
member of his family amount
to $1,000 or more during the
year. Thus for example, an
employe could incur $1,000 in
medical expenses each year for
80 years, and at the end Of 80
years still have $4,000 worth
of health insurance coming to
him.
Blue Cross-Blue Shield has
q $4,000 lifetime supplemental
Insurance maximum under its
high-option plan. This means
there is no limitation on its
basic benefits under high op-
tion (such as 120 days hospi-

Thus employees dip into the
$40. 900 maximum benefits only
when the supplemental or
catastrophe benefits come into
play. However. there is no

ture.
Both Government-wide plans
provide for complete restora-
tion of the $4,000 maximum

would mean that employees

Reds Stake Test Area
For Rockets in Pacific

MOSCOW, Jan. 8 (AP)-
The Russians are invading
Americas favorite testing
ground in the Central Pacific
to try out a powerful new
rocket built for launching
heavy earth satellites and space
flights to the planets.
The Soviets last night staked
out a broad, deserted area
1.l00 miles southwest of the
Hawaiian Islands for test fir
ings to begin between January
is and February IS.
Foreign ships and aircraft
were warned to steer clear of
the target zone-roughly a
rectangle 280 miles long and
160 miles wide-during the
tests. There was no indication
how long they would continue.
Soviet missiles have been
sighted coming into the North
Pacific in recent months.
Shifting the target south into
the region of American interest
was viewed in some Washing
ton circles as a deliberate move
to impress the West with the
reliability and accuracy of
RuSsias new missile weapons.
After Presidents Speech
CThe Moscow announcement
came less than six hours after
President Eisenhower told Con-
gress American intercontinental
ballistic missiles have been hit
ting within a 2-mile target
area from a launching point
5000 miles away
The Russians did not specify
the firing site for their new
rocket. The announcement by
the official Soviet news agency
TaSS said only that the tests
will be to develop "a more
powerful rocket to launcn
heavy earth satellites and un-
dertake space flights to planets
OF the solar system" 1t added:
With a view to perfecting
this rocket with a high accu-
racy of flight, its launchings
without the last stage will be
made within the coming
months of 1860 into the CEN
tral part of the Pacific Ocean,
removed from places of inten-
sive shipping, air lines and
fisheries"
Heavier Sputniks
Writing in Komsomolskaya
Pravda, organ of the Commu-
mist youth movement, Scientist
Anatoly Dorodnitsin of the
Academy of Sciences pointed
out that an increase in the
power Of space rockets would
make possible heavier sputniks
with more instruments which
thus could carry out more de-
tails and comprehensive studies
in the space around the earth"
The new Soviet rocket" he
continued, will be especially
important in the light Of flights
to other planets of the solar
system. Here again the problem
OF payload is Of paramount in
terest to scientists. And pay
load depends on the power of
the rockets engines.
The Russians indicated they
were confident of pin-pointing
the rocket landings by an
nouncing that Soviet ships will
be sent into the target area to
carry out measurements.
But the Soviet government
through Tass asked govern
ments Of nations whose ships
or aircraft may find themselves
