ANCHORAGE, R - A freight rate reduction of 9 cents per hun dred pounds on grocery shipments to Alaska will be put into effect Aug. 19 by Puget Sound Alaska Van Lines, George Hutton, Alaska manager for the firm, said here.
 The rate cut will apply to major grocery items like canned and bottled goods, and also to beer and liquor, he said.
 Hutton said a report from Ju- neau published Friday of g per cent reduction was in error. "The g cent cut amounts to about 5 per cent reduction" he said, mot 9 per cent"
 The reduction, Hutton said, was made possible by the ship ping firms modern equipment, including both its vans and new 6,00O-ton barges built and laun- ched last year, plus good support from the Alaskan people"

Brother Raul Halls Moscow Pledge Of Aid to Cuba

HAVANA, R-Raul Castro left no doubt Cuba has moved solid ly into the Soviet economic camp as he welcomed Moscow's aid of fers and hurled defiance at any objectors. He also hailed Soviet pledges of military support.
 "We don't have to fear an ec- onomic blockade" the younger brother of Prime Minister Fidel Castro declared in midnight speech that ran nearly three hours. "They (the Soviets) buy all that we sell them and they sell us what we need"
 Appearing on Fidel's usual Fri day night TV spot, the peppery defense minister aimed a slap at the Organization of American States which is slated to meet Aug. 16 to discuss Soviet inter ference in the Western Hemi- sphere and other problems.
 Fresh from visits to Moscow and Prague, he said Soviet and CzechoSlovak officials had pro- missed him that all Cuba orders would get top priority. He implied this meant military material as well as other goods.
 No strings were attached to Soviet aid offers, he declared, adding that the United States had never given help without de- manding concession.
 Castro blasted the US. capi- talistic system which he said de- mands that Americans "throw food into the sea" to maintain prices, rather than share it with the worlds starving millions.

On The Job -.

AYLESBURY, England, R - David Hillier was his fathers right-hand man and when he got drafted into the army the town council could find no one to fill his job.
 That worried David Hillier. The worry preyed on his mind.
 It wasn't long before Pvt. Hill fer went A.W.OL.
 He came back to Aplesbury and for 10 days toiled manfully with a spade that went with his old job
 Then the army caught up with him and sentenced him to 28 days detention.
 The Ayelsbury town council is pressing for Hillier's release, claiming his absence causes them "grave difficulty"
 Said Arthur Hillier, David's father; q realize my son did wrong in coming home like this, but he felt he owed it to the community"
 Looking out over the 15,776 graves in te Aylesbury cemetery of which he is the superintendent the elder Hillier added: "It may sound odd to some people that gravediggers take as much pride in their work as anyone else
 David can dig beautiful grave"
