The naturalization of the

priSal for United States de-

The bank naturalization
order repeatedly was signed by
both Mr.. Castro and President
Osvaldo Dorticos under a de-
cree permitting seizure Of
United States property in Cuba.
Affected we're the First National
City Bank of New York. the
First National Bank of Boston
and the Chase Manhattan

One American banker said
there had been no formal no.

said he expected the takeover
to be extended to some Cuban
banks.
The restriction on Mr.. Bon
sal was announced by Foreign
Minister Raul Roa early today.
Under it, the United States
Ambassador is confined roughly
to the Vedado section, where
the Embassy is located.
Mr.. Roa said the action was
taken because of the arbitrary
confinement imposed by North
American authorities on the
activities" of Mr.. Castro, who
has been restricted to Manhat-
tan Island during his visit to
New York next week for the
opening Of the U. N. General
Assembly.
The United States State De-
partment action against Mr.,
Castro, along with the legal
attachment of Cuban airliners
and funds in New York, was be-
lieved also to have prompted
the espionage charges against
the seven Americans, including
a blond Embassy secretary.

u. S. SEES SPITE
IN TRAVEL BAN
By the Associated Press

State Department officials
said yesterday the travel ban
imposed on United States Am
bassador Philip Bonsal in Ha-
vana is pure spite work by the
Cuban government.
Cuban Prime Minister Fidel
Castro's travel restrictions in
New York, where he arrives
today for the United Nations
sessions, were imposed purely
for security reasons" an off,
cial said. Patiently, that had
nothing whatsoever to do with
the restrictions the Cuban gov
ernment had impose on
Ambassador Bonsal, apparently
only for the duration of Mr..
Castro's stay in New York"
One Department of1icial said !:
Given the high esteem in
which Ambassador Bonsal is
held throughout the Americas,
including Cuba, the restriction
imposed by Cuba will speak for
ITSELF"
The reference apparently
was to the fact that Mr.. Bonsal
has at times been cheered on
the streets in Cuba, and that
audiences in motion picture
houses have applauded when
his picture appeared in news
reels.
The Department declined
comment on the Cuban gov
ernment's charges that an en-
bassy secretary. Mrs. Marjorie
Lennox. and another embassy
employe. Robert L. Meet, were
involved in espionage activities.
Previously, Department officials
had said they expected the
Cuban government to try to
turn the incident into a propa-
ganda vehicle.

Its an act unworthy of COM
ment." He declined comment
on the espionage charges.

Davis Victory Seen
In Louisiana Election

First, it may show how en-
trenched the States Rights
movement is in the Deep South
now.
And second. it may show If
Louisiana Republicans will be
a factor to be reckoned with in
the fall presidential election.
The G. o. p, with only $500
registered voters of the States
total Of about IL million, feels
it would make it's best showing
in a small turnout.
Mr.. Grevemberg, a Catholic
and former Democrat, pulled
$4,000 votes when he finished
fourth in the 1856 Democratic
primary for Governor. He FASH
ioned a reputation with a vice
and gambling breakdown as
State police chief.
Political observers feel party
lines, rather than religion, will
be the key to the vote.
Foe Of Zany Days
Mr.. Davis is remembered
from his 1944-8 wartime ad-
ministration as Governor. He
campaigned with songs and a
hillbilly band.
When he tossed his hat in
the ring again last year, Mr..
Davis called for peace and
harmony" promising an end
to the zany days of Gov. Long.
Both Mr.. Davis and Mr..
Grevemberg conceded Mr..
Courtney about $4,000 votes.
Mr.. Courtney. a publisher, said
his Statewide tour indicates
he'll upset these predictions.
He has focused his campaign
on the segregation issue.

Kennedy Brings Up
Religious Question

cal ideas and action"
One miner to whom Mr..
Klinkert handed one of his
sheets. read it and handed it
back with the comment, Its
a bunch of junk"
Senator Robert C. Byrd,
Democrat of West Virginia,
meanwhile. accused the forces
of Senator Kennedy of trying
to assume and capitalize on an
underdog role in the West Vir-
ginia primary.
Sets Humphrey Trailing
Senator Byrd said in a Wash
ington statement there is no
question in his mind that Sen
ator Humphrey is fighting an
uphill battle against Senator
Kennedy.
He also said:
Il deplore the effort being
made upon the part of some
persons to make it appear that
a victory for Senator Hum
phrey in West Virginia would
be a victory for religious
prejudice.

one who happens to be for
someone other than Senator
Kennedy is Immediately at

gested that supporters of other
presidential hopefuls vote for
Senator Humphrey in order to
keep Senator Kennedy from
getting a leg up on the nomi-
nation, denied there is any
coalition being formed against

to nominate, Senator johnson.

Virginia.

ledge of any organization there
in behalf of Senator Symington
or Adlai E. Stevenson" he said.
Age, Experience Hit
Senator Byrd said he thinks
Senator Kennedy has been a
good Senator. But he added
that he believes Senator Ken
nedy lacks the age and expert
ence to be President in these
perilous times"
II find it difficult to be secure
in the thought of his sitting
down with the Adenauers, the
De Gaulles, the Macmillans,
and the Khrushchevs, as our
country wrestles with import
ant problems in the field of
international affairs" he said.
"If he were a man with the
years and experience of Gov.
David Lawrence of Pennsyl-
vania, himself a Catholic, it
would be entirely different"
Senator Kennedy's arrival in
Wheeling brought him to a
section where, compared with
this overwhelming Protestant
State as a whole, a large seq
ment of the population shares
his Roman Catholic religion.

GSA Plans to Give
Trading Stamps
To VA Hospitals

A General Services Admin
istration official said today its
stockpile of trading stamps
probably will be turned over
to Federal and Veterans Ad-
ministration hospitals.
The hospitals plan to have
their patients paste the stamps
in books as part of their oc-
cupational therapy programs
and then exchange the stamps
for such things as recreational
equipment. he said.
Exact details haven't been
worked out yet but we hope to
have them flrmed up in a few
days." the GSA spokesman
said.
Millions Of stamps given the
Government with the purchase
OF gasoline have been collect
ing since the General Account
ing Office ruled that it would
be in the best interests of the
Government to redeem the
stamps.
However, the GSA discovered
that the expense of collecting
stamps and pasting them into
books might top the redemp-
ton value.
Hospital administrators feel
that using the stamps in their
occupational therapy programs
would be parctical and profit
able" the GSA spokesman said.
I'VE probably will notify all
agencies who have been collect
ing the stamps to release them
