Stevenson Pondering
Senate, Sees Kennedy
BY CECIL HOLLAND
Star Staff Writer

Adlai E. Stevenson discussed
with President Kennedy today
whether he should consider run
ming for United States Senator
from Illinois next year.
The ambassador to the United
Nations said the matter came
up in an hour-long meeting
with the President discussing
matters before the U. N. includ-
ing the admission of Red China
Mr.. Stevenson, twice unsuc-
cessful Democratic candidate
for President, declined to reveal
what the President said.
will Decide Soon
He also said that he had not
had time himself to consider
whether he should make the
race against Senator Dirksen,
Republican of Illinois, but indi-
Gated he will reach a decision
this month. Senator Dirksen is
the minority leader of the Sem
ate.
Il want 70 he guided by the
best interest Of my party and
the administration" Mr.. Ste
venson told reporters.
He said Mayor Richard Daley
of Chicago called him by tele-
phone on Thursday and asked
if he would be interested in
running.
Mr.. Stevenson insisted he has
not explored the question at
all.
The former Governor of Tlli-
nois, who was the Democratic
presidential nominee in 1852
and 1856, pointed out in re-
sponse to questions that in
Illinois the political ticket is
usually made up around the
first of January.
I'D want to make up my
mind before that" Mr.. Ste
venson added.
He said he had discussed the

The Army has contende6
that a start of production could
cut from four to two years the
expected time in which an anti
missile defense could be de-
ployed around q limited num-
Der Of cities.
In the past. there have been
estimates that 1t would cost So
billion to SIS billion to provide
adequate protection for most
major production and popula-
ton centers and important
military bases in the United

To Start on Radar
What the, Army wants to
start turning out are COM
ponentS, including specially de-
signed tools. for the Super-sen-
sitive radar used by the Nike
zeus system to detect and track
oncoming enemy missiles.
The sources were unable to
say how long it would take to
get production under way once
the tooling up process is COM
pleted.
Little criticism has been
made Of the Nike-Zeus missile
itself. But questions have been
raised about the ability of the
systems radar to discriminate te
between an incoming missile
warhead and decoys sent out
by an enemy to fool the de-
fense.
The Army has voiced conf
dence in the radar, which has
been tested from Ascension Is
land in the South Atlantic
against United States inter-
continental missiles. and, pre-
sumably, American decoys fired

President Kennedy and Sec
retary of Defense Mcnamara
have decided to ask Congress
for money to start tooling up
for production of the Nike
Zeus antimissile missile.
Informed sources said today
Mr.. Kennedy and Mr.. Nc
Namara agreed on this at their
conference In Hyannis Port,
Mass, last week. They con-
ferred on the new military
budget to be submitted to Con-
gress next month.
1t was understood a recent
string of test successes influ-
enced the decision. 1t repre-
sents a victory for the Army in
its long battle to get the mis-
sile-killing system into produc-
ton.
The Kennedy administration,
and the Eisenhower admins
tration before it, had refused
to allow even a start on limited
production of the controversial
anti-missile system pending
additional tests.
Doubts Reported
Earlier this year, Secretary
Mcnamara told Congress there
were widespread doubts as to
whether the Nike Zeus system
should ever be deployed."
Now, it has been learned, Mr.
Kennedy and Mr.. Mcnamara
have decided there is enough
evidence Of indicated success to
go ahead with limited produc-
tion of long lead time items
for the system.
A factor in the decision could
have been what Pentagon
sources said is firm information
that the Russians are making a

Mr.. Kennedy's tight schedule
forced him to miss the pre-
game parades of Annapolis
midshipmen and West Point
cadets, but he planned to ar
rive about Is minutes before
the start of the game itself.
Mr. Kennedy will go to his
country estate, Glen Ora, at
Middleburg. Va, tomorrow to
join his family. Mrs. Kennedy

have gripped the Dominican

have been part of an overall
plan to keep Dominican troops
pinned down in the capital.

The military leader said the
armed forces have no plans at
present to break up the strikes
aimed at toppling the Balaguer
regime. But he warned that
if the security of the state
lis threatenedD, that's another
thing"
He implied that he felt the
strikes would die a natural
death once "the strikers are
convinced it is a political mat

Some shops reoponed in the
capital yesterday and automo-

Castro Cites Goal
Of Mdrxist Cuba
Tells Nation
He's Strono
Communist

HAVANA. Dec. 2 (AP)-
Fidel Castro, proclaiming Il
believe absolutely in Marxisnn,"
admitted publicly today he was
leading Cuba down the road to
communism.
Il am a Marxist-Leninist
and will be one until the day
1 die" the Cuban Prime Min
lister declared in a midnight
television speech.
I'VE must all study the ex-
perienceS in building up the
worlds first Communist So
ciety." he said. Socialism is a
world reality today as the force
defeating imperialism"
The world is on the road
toward communism" he added.
Mr. Castro jokingly added
that if there was any anti
communist listening to him "he
does not need worry because
there will be no communism
Tin Cuba before 80 years"
Contrasting Statements
Mr.. CaStro'S statements were
in sharp contrast to declara-
tlonS that ours is not Com
munlSt revolution" made six
months after he seized power
from Dictator Fulgencio Ba-
tista January l, 1859.
Apparently in reference to
his anti-CommunisU statements.
Mr.. Castro said last night that
until a few years ago he was
biased against communism be-
cause of imperialist propa-
ganda."
He said the change in his
political thinking began after
he seized power.
cat Key West. Fla. where
the speech was monitored,
Mr.. Castro was quoted as
saying, with reference to his
student days at the Univer-
Sity of Havana:
owe began in the university
to have the first contacts with
Communist leaders. And
when 1 left the university, I
am able to assure you that 1
was completely identified
with the true socialism of the
masters Lenin and Marx"
CMr. Castro said that he
had kept his radical theories
to himself at that time to
avoid handicapping his revo-
lutionary movement
He praised Lenin for de
veloping Marx and Ergle's
theories and putting them into
practice" in the Bolshevik
revolution.
"MarXism or scientific social.
ism has become the revolu-
tionary movement of the work
ing class" he said.
Strongest Admission
Mr., Castro's assertion that
he was confirmed MarXist
was one of his strongest public
admissions that he had been
converted toward the Com.
munlSt line.
He had implied as much by
labelling Cuba as a Socialist
state in speech last May Day.
The United States then oe-
clared for the first time thas
Mr.. Castro was a full member
of the Communist camp.
Mr.. Castro, who ruled out
elections in his May Day
speech, declared last night that
he is forming a single party
which will unity all groups in
his regime into a strong and
disciplined organization"
The Integrated Revolutionary
Organization, embracing politi-
cal, military. economic. labor
and social groups, form the
foundation for the coming one
party system.
The party will be called "the
United Party of Cubas Socialist
Revolution.
There cannot be three or
four movements" Mr.. Castro
said.

Banks Authorized i
To Pay a Per Cent
On Savings

The Nations 10000 COM
mercial banks have been
granted Federal permission to
offer savers 4 per cent interest
on S93 billion of deposits start
ing January |.
The present limit is 3 per
cent and has been in effect for
five years.
The higher maximum was
authorized last night by the
Federal Reserve Board and
Federal Deposit Insurance
Corp. so that banks can be-
come more competitive with
savings and loan associations,
which generally have paid
higher rates.
Another motive for the move
was to encourage foreigners
and others to keep funds on
deposit in the United States
rather than move them abroad
because of interest rate COM
petition. This would help the
United States balance OF pay
mentS situation.
Higher Rate Not Required
No bank will have to pay
higher interest rates as a re-
suit of the action. They merely
have permission to do so.
Experience suggests that
any moves toward higher rates
are likely to be gradual" the
Reserve Board said. Many
banks have yet to adopt the old
3 per cent maximum.
The 4 per cent ceiling will
apply to time and savings de-
posits left in banks for a year
or longer. Funds deposited for
6 to II months can earn up to
3.5 per cent, instead of 3 per
cent. There was no change in
the maximum rates on deposits
of shorter duration. The rates
are 2.5 per cent for 80 days to
six months, and l per cent for
up to 80 days.
The maximum must be OBJ
served by all commercial banks
covered by FDIC insurance.
This includes all except about
300 very small institutions.
For some time" the Re-
serve Board said, "a number of |
commercial banks have com |
tended that the 3 per cent |
maximum rate has restricted |
them in their efforts to COM
pete for savings and time de-
posits. One effect of the action
will be to increase freedom of
competition :"
Offered Greater Rates
While banks were limited to
3 per cent interest rate, many
savings and loan associations
offered 4 per cent and even 5
per cent.
With their rate advantage,
savings and loan associations
have increased their deposits
from $22.8 billion in 1853 to a
current level of about $68 bill
lion. Banks attracted deposits
at a much slower rate, the in
crease for them moving from
1884 billion to $93 billion.
The Treasury noted that
President Kennedy has recon-
mended the removal of interest
ceilings on time deposits held
in American banks by foreign
governments and central banks.
The effect of the action
just taken should be, on bal
ance, to help in attracting and
retaining foreign funds" it
said.

TIME TO LOOK AT CRIME SERIOUSLY

TIME TO LOOK AT CRIME
CRIME IS CREEPING up on us. Something has to be
done, and quickly. Whether we realize it or not, the rate of
crime, coupled with accidents on our roads can become a
matter which, if not looked at seriously and quickly, could
get out of hand and before we know it, death and destruction
will be the order Of the day.
TN WAS WHEN a crime was an unusual thing, when
the only duties which the police had to cope with were minor
~nfractions and breaches Of the peace. But those were the good
old days when peace and law and order reigned. Critics might
quickly reply that times have changed, and that we should
expect all the conditions and circumstances which accompany
modern living. Yet, this does not necessarily follow, for every
thing here should point to the barest minimum of crime, acct
dents and loss of life.
THE ISLAND R small, which makes for intimacy,
and personal contact, which carries with it a respect for the
other fellow over and above what it would be if he came from
another place, or remained a stranger. Economic conditions
are such as should tend to reduce crime, and everything else
lends itself to the type of direction from a central force which
makes for the reduction of crime.
II RECENT WEEKS the citizenry should have been
shocked into action by such news as the death Of a visitor on
our roads, the cold blooded stabbng Of one of our youths on
the streets of St. Thomas during the carnival, & others. Natu-
rally, the law will take its course, but the law, by its very ma
ture, must wait and follow. By that time it may be too late.
What, then, is needed is a type of preparedness which seeks
to prevent these crimes, and nipS them in the bud.
NATURALLY, THIS PAPER, like everyone else, regrets
the injury to young Moorhead, and wishes him the ~speediest
possible recovery. Good doctors, working with dispatch, aid
ed by competent stats, are no doubt responsible for saving
the youngsters life. Yet, all of this should not have been ne
cessary because no such crime should have been committed
the first place.
CORRECTIVE MEASURES are needed. What form
these will take is for the proper authorities, but steps are
needed.

st. Thomas, Virgin Islands
My dear Mr.. President:
/ have the honor to hand you herewith draft of a
Bill to Amend Title 20, Section 497 of the Virgin Islands
Code relating to Traffic Tickets for Improper Parking,
and for Other Purposes. This Bill appears as item II Of
the Amended Agenda for the Special Session Of the Lee
~gislature called for November 81, 1860.
This Bill is proposed in order to eliminate the anti
quated procedure of serving tickets on ~violators of park
ing laws whereby a police officer has had to remain near
the improperly parked vehicle perhaps an hour or more
awaiting the arrival of the violator. This legislation
would permit the police officer to serve the summons
by leaving a copy thereof in the illegally parked vehicle
without the need for personally serving the violator.
This legislation would create the prima facie pre-
sumption that the violator Of the parking law is the
owner Of the vehicle. Such a provision will facilitate the
prosecution Of the offenses and will, it is hoped, compel
the owner Of the vehicle to see to it that the person US
ing the vehicle obeys the parking laws and regulations.
Many of the states and municipalities have already
adopted this legislation which is based on provisions of
the Model Traffic Ordinances" published by the Ma
tional Committee on Uniform Traffic Laws and Ordi-
nances and distributed by the American Bar Associa-
ton.

Their concluding work was a
quintet, apparently written by
one Giovanni Bramellini. Here
again, the playing was exquisite
but the style was completely
foreign to the usual conception
of the piece.
To recognize superior playing
by individuals would be simply
to call the roll of the musicians,
but a special tribute should go
to the pianist. Sergio Lorenzi,
for his faultless fluency of
execution and for his unfailing
sense of balance.
This is an extraordinarily
competent quintet. They lack
the ascetic purity of the Quar-
tetto 1taliano and the solidity
of chamber groups schooled in
the German tradition. What
they have is a simple, whole

making music that is most
admirable. What they need is
a fine Italian composer to write
many quintets for them to play.

Secretary of State Dean
Rusk last night suggested a
new kind of summitry-a
mountain-top vacation from
the furious pace of diplo-
macy.
At a white-tie dinner for
chiefs of foreign missions, the
Secretary observed that the
life of a diplomat is not SIM
pie or easy these days.
How would it be-" he
asked the ENJOYS. IF we de-
clared a year of pacification?
Then you and we could take
some time off, 60 up on a
mountain and try to solve
our problems"
He added in a more serious
voice, The great revolution
waiting for us is the revolu-
ton of peace"
The cables that pour onto
his desk every day inform
him of 80 or 60 or 10 active
disputes" among nations. The
tendency of governments and
their diplomats is Ito lecture
someone else on how he
should settle his problems"
1t would be more profitable,
he said, if every nation took
a little time to see how it
could settle its own.
Mr.. Rusk's remarks came
toward the end of toast to
all the countries represented
by his diplomatic guests.
Presidents Greetings
The dinner, Secretary and
Mrs. RuSk'S first state party
for ENJOYS here, was a mellow
occasion. And the tone of
the comments, while earnest,
was far from ponderouS.
Earlier in the toast he ex-
tended the personal greet
ings of President Kennedy,
who had talked to him by
telephone that day, he said.
Because the diplomatic
corps has grown too big to
entertain in a single body.
only half was invited for last
night. A second dinner will
be given on the 10Th.
The party began at 8
o'clock with a reception in
