THE PAST 100 years have
made this newspaper not only
the witness but also the archi-
tect of history because it
has stated the truth, defend
ed justice, promoted the
cause of real freedom and
protected the honesty and
the honor of the human posi-
ton and dignity"
The Pope singled out Count
Dalla Tore for special praise,
calling him a man who has
learned SO many merits in
the Catholic cause"
I'VE convey on this occa-
sion the expression of Our
mindful and grateful feel
ings," he added.
Cardinal Tardini, who as
an official of the Vatican Sec
retariat of State worked
closely for many years with
the editor of L'Osservatore,
wrote that the newspaper
"has been the voice of free
dom and peace faithful
always to its motto, ITO Each
His Own"

the next six months in the

Mr.. Castro called Panama
another government of trail

Let them break relations

Mr.. Castro said.

Panama recently relayed to
Cuba a diplomatic note from

establishment of a Cuban gov

PEELED from his exile in Cuba.
Eleven nations of the West

Mr.. Castro also denounced
President Romulo Betancouft

Gen. de Gaulle's Foreign Min
lister, Maurice Couve de Muir
vile. told the French Senate
this week France opposes any
precipitate negotiations under
the gun of Soviet threats. and
likewise opposes talks limited
to the issue of Berlin and
Allied access rights.
Mr.. Couve de Murville also
disparaged the recent probes
OF Soviet intentions" conducted
in Moscow by American, British
and West German representa-
tives. They had failed, he said,
to turn up any reasonable basis
for negotiations with the Rus
slams, and had, on the contrary.
led to aspects which France
would consider dangerous to
European security.
A foreign ministry spokesman
reiterated this viewpoint yes
terday, but indicated Gen. de
Gaulle might eventually con-
sent to further probes by the
other Western powers as long as
it is clearly understood that
France will not be committed to
follow them through.
The spokesman said this
would be discussed by the
French, American, West Ger
man and British foreign minis
tiers Monday and Tuesday. Mr..
Adenauer originally planned to
see Gen. de Gaulle November 80,
right after his talks with Mr..
Kennedy, but illness forced him
to delay the trip here.
The Chancellor and Gen. de
Caulle are expected also to
discuss a strictly French-West
German problem which has
arisen within the six-nation
Common Market on agricultural
policy. France wants the market
extended as soon as possible to
agricultural produce to give
French growers additional out
let's for their surpluses across
the Rhine. West German farm
ers, happy in a protected
market. are resisting this.

Worker S Suit
Wins S45,OOO

A $45,000 settlement was
agreed on yesterday in a con-
Struction workers damage suit
against two building companies
The worker, George w. Will
hanson. 43, and his wife, Ma
tilda, of 40 Randolph place
NV, had sued the Roscoe
Ajax Corp. and the Moses-Ecco
Co.. Inc, seeking a total of
$l50,000 damages.
Mr.. Williamson, a laborer
was suing for injuries he suf-
fered when he plunged 512
stories through a railing during
the building of the Shoreham
Motel in March, 1859.
Mr.. Williamson's complaint
said he had leaned against the
railing after bringing a heavy
construction bucket down a
stairway. The stairway was
used to facilitate construction
of the building.
The case had previously been
tried in october. and a District
Court jury here awarded Mr..
Williamson $l20,000 in dam
ages. However, District Court
Judge Joseph R. Jackson or
dered a new trial after Mr..
WilliamSon's attorney. David
Bress, cited evidence that the
judge had excluded from use
during the trial.
With a new jury and another
judge, District Court Judge
Edward A. Tamm, the trial
started again about four days
ago.
The defense, put forth by
Attorney John Beck, claimed
that Mr.. Williamson should
bear the full responsibility for
the accident, relying on testi-
mony that the laborer had tried
to bring the bucket-known as
a Georgia buggy-down the
steep steps and had been
pushed through the railing
when the heavy wheeled con-
struction bucket got out of
control.

New Financial
Load on u. n.

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Dec. 8 (AP) The General AS
sembly got the sad news today
it will have to continue paying
out at least $40 million a month
to keep the United Nations
Congo operation going.
Acting Secretary General U
Thant told the 103-nation
world body that the blowup in
Katanga made it impossible for
him to estimate how high the
Congo cost would run in 1862
But he made plain it would not
go below the $40 million mark
for months to come.
THE task of guiding the
Congo operation becomes
possible of achievement" Mr..
Thant said in his 600-word
message, "only if I can count
on the good will of member
governments and especially
their readiness to provide (the)
financial support"
Hopes to Float Loan
Mr.. Thant has been trying
to drum up approval for his
plan to float a 5000 million
bond issue to keep the U. N.
out of bankruptcy until Sep
tember when the next Assem-
bly, convenes.
This would mean borrowing
three times the amount of the
annual U. N. budget. 1t results
from refusal of the Soviet Un-
ion and other nations to pay
a cent toward footing the
Congo bill or for the U. N.
emergency force in the Middle
East.
Mr.. Thant has suggested that
the U. N. issue the bonds with
a 25-year maturity at 2 per
cent interest. They would be
sold to governments and CEN
trail banks.
| The 5000 million would Just
about meet the deficits run up
by the $120 million year
Congo operation and the $40
million for UNEF.
Seek World Court Ruling
The United States and six
other nations have proposed
that the World Court be asked
to rule on whether Russia and
other nations have a right to
refuse to pay their share of
the Congo bill.
United States Delegate AL
belt F. Bender said the resolu-
ton is designed to provide a
legal foundation for Mr..
Thant's bond plan.
The Soviet Union has served
notice that it does not recog-
nize the court as competent to
deal with the question.
France, South Africa and
Portugal have also refused TO
pay their share of the costs.
OF the l03 U. N. members, only
Is so far have paid any part
of their 1861 assessment.
The United States, in addi-
ton to paying its Congo assess
ment of nearly 500 million. is

million to help defray so per

it would continue negotiations
today despite an ultimatum that
it would withdraw from the

Meanwhile, the United States

fleet of warships from the
vicinity of the Dominican Re-
public. The ships appeared off
the coast shortly after two
brothers of Slain Dictator
Rafael Trujillo returned to the

restore a rightist dictatorship.
The TrujilloS, Hector and Jose
Arizmendi, were forced out of

In Washington, United States
Government sources declined to
discuss the significance of re-
calling the ships, saying only
they supposed the vessels were
not considered necessary at
this time. Some have suggested,
however, that the presence of
the warships might be in
terpreted as giving support to
the Balaguer regime.

felt was necessary.

The oil company filed an
