Mr.. RuSk is expected to en-

AS United States officials see
it, the basic difficulty in . Ken

negotiate and no possibility of
any mutually satisfactory COM
promise.

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Sept. % (AP).-The United
States and the Soviet Union
accused each other of riSking
war over Cuba in q head-on
clash last night before the
General Assembly.
Soviet Foreign Minister
Andrei A. Gromyko brought up
the Cuban issue in a 90-minute
general policy speech delivered
on the eve Of a meeting with
Secretary Of State Rusk ar
irving in New York for q weeks
stay.
Mr.. Gromyko accused the
United States of aggressive acts
toward Fidel Castro's regime
and said a United States at
tack on Cuba would mean war.
Adlai E. Stevenson, United
States chief delegate, replying
Immediately, said the Soviet
Union Is threatening peace by
supplying military aid to Cuba.
Won't Allow Aggression
I'VE are not taking and will
not take offensive action in this
hemisphere. neither will we
permit aggression in this hem
isphere," Mr. Stevenson said.
THE threat to peace in Cuba
comes not from the United
States but from the Soviet
Union. The threat arises from
the extraordinary and unnec-
essary flood of Soviet arms
and military personnel pouring
into Cuba. -r.
Mr.. Gromyko told the l08-
nation assembly President Ken
nedy's September 13 news con-
ference statement on Cuba
meant that the United States
is at liberty to mount military
action against Cuba and that
it will itself decide when to
deem it necessary to start in
vasion."
Already, he said, the United
States is practicing aggressive
acts" against Cuba by providing
arms and equipment to Cuban
refugees for pirate sorties"
against their homeland. The
United States does so, he said,
because the Cuban system "is
not to its liking"

to draw the attention of men,

the grave consequences which
the policy practiced by the

the cause of peace.
"An attack on Cuba would

cause "the fact cannot be

Mr.. Gromyko served notice
that the Soviet Union will never

refuses to pay "a single cent"

West Germany
Agrees 10 Bar
Ships toCuba

By the Associated Press 4
The United States appears toI
be making headway in its drive
to get Allied cooperation in
cutting down Communist ship
ping to Cuba.
The West German govern
ment has agreed to take steps
to prevent its ship owners from
putting German flag vessels
under Soviet charter.
And there Is hope that Brit
ain, Norway and other North
Atlantic Treaty allies whose
ships have sailed for the Rus
slams in the Cuban buildup also
will cooperate.
Britain, Norway and West
Germany each are believed to
have a dozen ships engaged in
the Communist effort to
strengthen the Red outpost in
the Caribbean.
The United StateS-arguing
that the Cuban situation is an
extremely serious problem-has
pressed its allies to deny ship
ping to the Soviet bloc.
Charters Bring Food
American officials say the
Russians have been using their
own ships to carry arms and
military personnel to Cuba. The
chartered vessels have brought
in food and industrial equip
ment designed to bolster Prime
Minister Fidel CaStro's wheez-
ing economy.
First word of the West Ger
man move came in q House
