Castro Expects
Softer Policy
From Kennedy

HAVANA, Up = Fidel Castro
limited today he expects a softer
policy toward Cuba when John
Kennedy becomes President. The
bearded prime minister's rambl-
ing speech was punctuated by
noise bombs exploding in an I'M
precedented show of force by his
enemies within Cuba.
In a 215-hour speech at Havana
University, Castro also accused
Roman Catholic priests of taking
money from sugar companies to
preach against his revolution and
suggested a new policy for the
state-run sugar industry may be
in the works 1t may be aimed at
flooding world markets and even
fully giving Cuba more control
over prices.
Two small noise bombs went
off while Castro spoke. The Sec
ond brought him to his angriest
pitch.
"Those bombs are not set off
by peasants, by the humble. They
are set off by those who kneel
before foreign interests, by those
who would like to see bloodshed
m the country"
Despite heavy police concen-
trations around the university,
two bombs also went off while
Castro was waiting to speak.
Altogether 10 explosions were
counted throughout the city and
its suburbs as Castro's opposition
staged its biggest noise bombings
since Castro gained power almost
two years ago. Sporadic bomb
ings have become an almost
nightly occurrence in Havana.
Castro was as caustic as usual
in his criticism of the United
States. But he appeared to open
the door slightly for concilia-
tory move by Kennedy, although
he indicated Cuba would not take
the initiative in any fence mend
ing.

Ferry System Seen
AS Big Boost For
British Columbia

VICTORIA, Be, R-Alaska is
setting a fast pace towards es-
tablishment of a Pacific North
west marine highway by investing
million of dollars in a ferry link
to Prince Rupert.
Alskan representatives to a
three state-B.C. conference here
Monday said Saturday night they
enthusiastically favor the marine
highway as another link between
Prince Rupert and Washington
State.
Such a route would include the
island highway to a northern
point on Vancouver Island where
a ferry service would connect
with a mainland road leading to
Prince Rupert.
Richard A. Downing, Alaska's
Commissioner of Public Works,
said:
"I wish I could tell you how
much a marine highway would
mean to Alaska and B. C.
"Not only would it be closer
than existing Alaska Highway
routes but BIC. would reap bene-
fits of an increased tourist trade
which has only been tapped, SO
far as we're concerned" he said.
"B. C. has almost as much to
profit from our ferry sytem as
Alaska itself because of the heavy
traffic that will be flowing thru
BIC.
"Traffic is just waiting for
some economical, fast inside route
between Washington and Alaska.
We want to have our ferries
ready in time to take advantage
of Seattle's Century 81 EXPOSE
ton in 1862"
Robert Sharp, president of the
Southeast Alaska Conference,
said American tourists spend $780,
000,000,000 a year and that us.
national parks are visited annual
ly by more than 66,O00,0OO per-
sons.
BIC. is fortunate in being be-
tween the 48 states and Alaska
because "Alaska's attractions are
out of this world" and will draw
many tourist dollars, he said.

Until January 3rd

The School Hot Lunch pro-
gram will end for this year on
Wednesday. Superintendent Con-
rad Potter said today that the
participation has not been great
enough to warrant continuing the
program.
However, the lunch program
will resume on Jan. 8 for three
month period.
This year was the first time
the program was to have been
tried for five-month period, but
it did not prove economically
feasible because too few students

National Goals
Report Is Legacy
To Kennedy Govt.

WASHINGTON, R- An ade-
quate national defense, cut in
unemployment, the lowering of
racial barriers, more foreign aid,
help for city acknowledgement,
broader support of research - a
presidential commission recon-
mends these national goals for the
1905.
Fulfillment of these goals
would cost billions of dollars
more of government spending,
President EisenhoWer's Commits
sion on National Goals concluded
in its 80 page report made public
by the White House yesterday.
A copy also was sent to Presi-
dent-elect John F. Kennedy
The commission, comprising II
distinguished Americans, said the
costs of the goals could mean a
tax increase. 1t added there was
little likelihood of any tax de-
crease in the decade ahead.
In its list of goals, the commits
sion also included a big boost in
spending on education and a for
eign policy that preserves the
United Nations while remaining
ready to negotiate with the Rus
slams on any reasonable basis.
The commission and its report
stem from President Eisenhower
State of the Union message almost
two years ago. In it, the Presi-
dent said the nation should de-
fine its national purpose and
goals.
The report now serves as a
legacy from the Eisenhower adj
ministration to the incoming Ken
nedy administration. In several
respects, the recommendations re-
semble the "New Frontiers" pro-
gram outlined by Kennedy in his
campaign.

Delegates to Tourism
Convention Are Told
Industry Must Contribute

JUNEAU, up = Delegates to a
state sponsored conference on
tourism were told today that the
most effective tourist program is
one in which the state and in

ing representatives of the Alaska
tourist industry to a conference

of Seattle, vice president of the
states advertising counsel the
firm of Bozell and Jacobs.
Wensberg said his firm plans
to place advertisements boosting
Alaska's tourist attractions in
newspapers and magazines with a
total circulation of some 100000
early next year.

who is primarily responsible for
spending $4,000 in tourist pro-
motion said the ads will be placed
in IA newspapers along the Pac-
ific Coast and in the Southwest
and Midwest.
Gov. Egan, in stressing that a
''healthy, sustained growth of
tourism in Alaska is a big job
that calls for joint effort by bust
ness and state" said that while
the state of Nevada's budget for
tourism promotion was only
$50, 541 this year, businesses con-
nected with the tourist industry
will spend some $512 million
more to attract travellers to the
state.

Laws controlling the sale of
firearms in suburban Maryland
were suggested yesterday by
police officials of Prince Georges
and Montgomery Counties.
Prince Georges Police Chief
George ]. Panagoulis said it
would be very desirable" to
have a law to keep hand guns
from persons with criminal
records, and those who buy
arms lin the heat of passion. "
He made his request as a
follow-up to a meeting Wednes-
day with Montgomery County
police officials to outline plans
for gun sale controls.
Asks Joint Meeting
Montgomery Police Chief
james S. McAuliffe last night
suggested to a joint meeting of
the county council and Mont
gomery State Legislators that
legislation be sought at the
next General Assembly session
to allow the counties to adopt
controls.
He said a firearms law would
keep persons convicted of
crimes of violence from buying
handguns. He also said it would
prevent criminal elements from
other regulated areas from
coming into suburban Maryland
to buy guns.
Police officials in other juris-
dictions have indicated an in
tereSt in an area-wide uniform
gun sale law. A gun purchase in
the District involves a 48-hour
wait while the prospective buy
er is checked by police.
~ Hours Recommended
Chief Panagoulis said the
proposed law would both keep
small arms from irresponsible
persons, and enable police to
trace guns used in crimes. He
advised a 72-hours waiting
period.
In the interval, the applicant
would be checked by police for
a criminal record. According to
their findings. police would tell
the gun dealer whether to make
the sale.
