supporter now In Miami.

ing a United States ,immigra-
ton department ruling that he
be deported. Both Pedraza and
Masferrer are charged here
with murder and other crimes.
Mr.. Roa also ordered the

dition demands for "other well
known war criminals"
Cuba long has complained
that the United States is har-
boring what it calls war crimi-
mails, and this is considered to
be one Of the factors in the
strained relations between the
two countries.
The United States has con-
tended that the Cuban govern
ment has failed to document its
charges against the exiles it
wants extradited.
The Cuban request came on
the eve of United States Am
bassador Philip Bonsal's re-
turn to Havana after an abb
sence Of almost two months.
Mr.. Roa said in the state
ment that the Cuban EN-

countries.

Truman Discusses
Religion In
Baptist Texas

WACO, Tex, R-Former Presi-
dent Harry S. Truman last night
delivered what the Democrats say
they hope will be the knockout
punch against attacks on presi-
Dental candidate John F. Ken
nedy's Roman Catholic religion.
In an unusually serious mood,
Truman told a crowd that gave
approval "a times with applause
that "innuendoes and downright
lies" are being used to arouse
religious prejudice. 81 say to you
this is un-American. It makes me
sick and it makes me want to
fight and that is what l am do
ing" Truman said.
Truman, on stage with House
Speaker Sam Rayburn and Sen.
Ralph Marlborough, both Texas
Democrats, devoted more than
half his Commute speech to the
question of religion.
The setting was in central
Texas area heavily populated by
Baptists, like Truman, Rayburn
and Marlborough.
Many Baptist ministers and
other clergymen have openly
questioned Kennedy's qualifica-
ton to serve as President in view
of his Catholic religion.
81 think that Jack Kennedy has
responded very well to the at
tacks on his religion" Truman
said. "He has answered all rea-
sonable questions with patience,
with dignity and candor,"
Asking the audience, estimated
at 5000, to "isten carefully" he
read the part of Article vi of the
Constitution which declares that
no religious test shall be required
as a qualification to any office of
public trust.

NIKITA CHANGES
ATTITUDE TOWARD
DETECTING SAILOR

NEW YORK, R- Soviet Pre-
mier Khrushchev said today it is
all right with him if Soviet
sailor defector stays in the United
States.
"If he had approached mel
was on the same ship would
even have furnished him with
some money for the first period
until he finds a job" Khrushchev
said.
The Kremlin leader, ina side
walk news conference, talked
about the case of Victor Jaani-
NETS, 20, the Soviet sailor from
the passenger ship Baltika who
asked for political asylum Mon
day night.
Khrushchev was in a smiling
mood which contrasted with his
anger Tuesday.
Khrushchev cautioned Aneri-
cans against believing because
one sailor has gone over" that the
United States now has an over
whelming advantage.
Khrushchev's comment repre-
scented the first high-level Soviet
reaction to the case. Two Soviet
embassy diplomats talked with
Jaanimets Tuesday, in an effort
to persuade him to return.
The young sailor refused to
heed their pleas, saying he was
fed up with life in the Soviet
Union.
The Journal American said
Jaanimets was telling the FBI
about Soviet spy activities in the
United States. The newspaper
quoted him as saying he wanted
to "give whatever information I
can to this great country about
Russian spies"

Hugh Wade Tells
DR.. Lee Mckinley
Ballot Will Stand

JUNEAU, Up = Secretary of
State Hugh J. Wade refused yes
terday to yield to demands by DR..
Lee L. Mckinley, Republican can
didate for the us. Senate, that
the form of the Nov. 8 general
election ballot be changed.
Mckinley last week had asked
for several changes in the ballot.
He said he was prepared to go
to court to enforce his demands if
they were not met.
The Palmer dentist objected to
the use of a circle instead of a
square to designate straight party
voting, contending the new cleo
ton code specifically called for a
square.
He also objected to what he
felt was a lack of instructions on
the ballot on how to vote a
straight party ticket.
The Alaska Secretary of State
said 81 felt it would be less con-
fusing to have a circle for voting
a straight party column rather
than a square because the square
is used by the voter when voting
for an individual candidate"
Wade said the instructions at
the top of the Alaska ballot fol-
lowed the form of other ballots
studied by the state.
Election judges will be instruct
ed to call the attention of voters
to the new form of the ballot and
to explain that by marking the
circle at the head of either the
Democratic or Republican column
of candidates the voter is voting a
straight party ticket, Wade said.
He said election judges will fur
Their be instructed to tell individ-
ual voters that if they do mark
one of the circles at the top of
the ballot, a mark in the square
opposite any candidates name
will not be counted.
The judges will also be instruct
ed to point out that cross-party
voting is permitted in the gen.
eral election, Wade said. 1t is pro-
hibited in primary elections under
the new code.
Wade said he felt personally
that instructions "that have
proven adequate in other states
will be clear for the Alaskan
voter"

start downstairs, heard a thud

Debate Shaping Up
Over 5th Debate
OF the Candidates

NEW YORK, ga great de-
bate appears to be shaping up
over the great debate" between
the Presidential candidates.
Sen. John Kennedy has accepted
a network offer to make time
available for a fifth debate early
in November.
But Vice President Nixon is
cool to the idea and has suggested
that instead of a fifth debate he
and Kennedy expand their fourth
appearance to two hours.
Kennedy said good many
things may be happening between
now and the election and he felt
the rival candidates should have
a chance to debate them close to
election time.
Originally, four one hour de-
bates were scheduled, Two al
ready have been held and the
third is set for tomorrow night.
The Kennedy camp feels that
the senator did so well in the
first two debates that still an
other would be beneficial to him.
They also believe that with the
last debate on Oct. 81, too big a
time gap would be left before the
election and that the Republicans
could finance a home-stretch TV
blitz that the Democrats could not
match because of lack of funds.
The Republicans take another
view.
Fred c. Scribner, chief Repub-
lican negotiator for the four pro-
grams already scheduled, assert
ed that Kennedy had lost the sec
ond TV debate, held last Friday.
SIT is not unusual for man
who has been beaten to ask for
return MATCH" he said.
