f7URer Hotel.
DR.. Hurst Anderson. president

DR.. Anderson revealed that
the proposal will be submitted
to the university's board of
trustees for consideration at its
fall meeting on october %.
He said funds matching Mr..
Kay's will be sought so that in
fact as we'll as in purpose the
center will be an interfaith one.
No indication was given as
to how much Mr.. Kay would
contribute and how much other
sources would raise.
Design Undecided
The university president elso
noted that several preliminary
sketches of the center have been
made though none as yet has
been completely approved.
The center will have three
main purposes:
/. 1t will have an lnterfalth
chapel so that Catholic. Pro-
testant and Jewish groups may

worship in their own tradition.
2. 1t will contain offices for

3. 1t will have social parlcrs
for social events.
MY real hope is that this
will become a symbol Ior inter-
faith relationship in the heart
of the Nations Capital" DR..
said.
1T will become an example
for people of good will to work
together"
DR.. Anderson said that If all
goes we'll and with trustees ap-
it is hoped to finish the
plans and specifications within

that some form of guided

order of the system set up by

example.

Communist North Korea agree
to U. N.-supervised free elec-
tions.

called political prisoners in the

Singles Out Two
Mr.. Castro singled out Pedro
Albizu Campos and Francisco
(The Hook Molina as prison.
ers who would have to be
part of the exchange. Albizu
Camps is a Puerto Rican ma
tionalist leader and Molina is
a Cuban awaiting sentence in
New York City on a second de-
gree murder conviction.
Mr.. Castro repeatedly said he
would exchange the invaders
for persons sentenced to at
least five years in the United
States, Puerto Rico, Nicaragua,
Guatemala and Spain.
In San Juan, Puerto Rico's
Gov. Louis Munoz Marin swept
aside the suggestion Of an ex-
change. I'VE have no political
prisoners in Puerto Rico" he
said.
Argentine political and union
leaders, legislators and the
press were almost unanimous
in denouncing the proposed
tractor prisoner exchange.
Cuban broadcasts quoted Mr..
Castro as saying President
Kennedy's admission of respon-
sibility for the April II invasion
would be the best witness to
accuse the invaders of treason
before any court of the world"
Treason is always punishable
by death, the broadcast added.
Mr.. Castro's statements re-
portedly were made to Prensa
Latina, Cuba's official news
agency, and were repeated
throughout the day and night
by all Havana radio stations. 2
