No Word Received from
 Castro on Hijacked Plane

WASHINGTON R - The State Department reported this after noon that it had received no word
 from Prime Minister Fidel Castro on it's demand that he return the American airliner hijacked to Havana Monday.
 Press officer Lincoln White gave this report about half way to the 48-hour deadline Secretary Dean Rusk set for a reply.
 White declined to speculate what action the United States might take - if any - should no response be forthcoming from the Cubans by tomorrow.
 Rusk told a news conference yesterday that he expected a re- ply within 24 to 48 hours. Aides said the U. s. Foreign Affairs chief figured Castro would have a chance to turn to pending dip- lomatic matters now that the four day Cuban revolutionary celebra- ton is over.

Cuban Refugees to Be Accepted as Volunteers In US. Armed Forces

WASHINGTON lp - The De- fense Department will accept Cuban refugees as volunteers in the U. s. Armed Forces, officials said today.
 However, a Pentagon spokes- man, in answering questions, em- phasized the plan is not aimed at creating any special force for a new attempt by Cuban rebels to invade Cuba.
 The plan is similar to that used after World War II when refu- gees from some European and other countries were accepted as vounteers in the American Armed Forces.
 The spokesman said the plan for accepting volunteers is mere ly a part of an overall program of aid for the Cuban refugees, primarily under direction of the Health, Education and Welfare Department.
 It is intended to open one more avenue of assistance for desti- tute people who have fled Fidel Castro's Communism.

Major TV Networks
 Responsible for Crime And Violence on TV

WASHINGTON R - A tele- vision show producer said today the three major networks are responsible for what he considers excessive crime and violence on TV.
 He testified the networks write letters asking for less violence, but make telephone calls urging more sex, more violence, and blacker williams so we can kill them off in one big climax"
 The witness, Mauries J. Unger, Hollywood manager for ZIV- United Artists said crime and violence on shows seen by chil- dren could be limited if Congress reduced the excessive power" of the three men who head the big networks.
 He said the three have a stranglehold on programs and have more power than the Con- stitution gives Congress or the Supreme Court"
 He added that if the Senate Ju- venile Delinquency Subcommit- tee headed by Sen. Thomas J. Dodd, D-Conn0, wants to inn prove shows, "it can convince the seven men on the Federal Com | munications Commission to curt the powers of the three men 1T the networks"

JUNEAU tR - Gov. Egan today called upon the Wall Street Journal to correct what was term ed a grossly misleading picture" of Alaskas finances in a story carried by the Journal yesterday.
