Man Is Killed
As Kensiington
Home Burns
Body Is Found
In Basement;
Pets Also Die

A retired Navy Yard worker
died early today in a fire that
destroyed his two-story frame
home in Kensington, Md,
Montgomery County police re-
ported.
The dead man, whose body
was found in the basement
three hours after the fire was
discovered, was identified as
James Tillson, 81, of 1882 Cap
itol View avenue.
A nephew, Airman Albert
Anderson, arrived to visit his
uncle while firemen were fight
ing the blaze. He was so over
come he could not talk to re-
porters.
The fire was discovered about
4:40 am. by a next-door neigh
Dor, Mrs. Yvonne Thompson of
$3.50 Capitol View avenue, po-
lice said.
First on the scene were Ccun-
ty policemen R. H. Smithers
and Douglas McPhee. Pfc.
Smithers said he and the other
policeman found flames shoot
ing from the rear of the house.
They attempted to enter the
front door but were repulsed
by flames.
Firemen from the Kensing-
ton Volunteer Fire Department,
wearing masks, managed to
make their way into the burn
ing structure but were unable
at first to find Mr.. Tillson.
Firemen said they were ham,
pered at first by frozen n.y.
drant which required at least
five minutes to thaw out.
Flames from the fire were so
intense the paint on the house
on the other side at 5000 Cap
itol View avenue was blistered.
Mrs. Thompson said she no.
ticed the fire when she got up
to let her cat out.
Two pet dachshunds, Mile
and Fritzie, and two parakeets
also apparently persisted in the
flames.
Police said Mr.. Tillson was
alone in the house. His wife
Flora is a patient at Providence
Hospital.
Police said the fire possibly |
started from a defective oil
burner. Damage was estimated
at $4,000.

Mcnamara Mont Yield
On Names of Censors

scribed by one source as "a
preliminary skirmish."
The subcommittee and Sen
ator Thurmond in particular
was said to be more interested
in questioning State Depart
ment officials about the changes
they ordered than in examin-
ing the Pentagon censors.
The State Department has
announced that it will follow
Mr.. McNamara's lead and re-
fuse to disclose the names of
those who reviewed particular
speeches. Whatever action re-
suits from the discussions with
Mr.. Mcnamara was expected
to set an example for what
the State Department does.
Most of the deletions and
changes criticized by Senator
Thurmond and others resulted
from State Department action,
according to testimony before
the subcommittee.
ThurmOnd'S Contention
The State Department has
no reviewing section as such
and speeches were checked for
their foreign policy implications,
it was understood, by officials
in various State Department
offices. Senator Thurmond has
contended in the public hear
ings that changes and dele
lions were made in line with
policy decisions not generally
known and not through caprice
and individual judgment or the
individual Judgment of the CEN
Sor.

GAS Decision
Move Deprives
Castro Regime Of
Dollar Exchange
BY EARL ii. VOSS
Star Staff Writer

President Kennedy today an
nounced an embargo on trade
between the United States and
Cuba effective next Wednesday.
On humanitarian grounds,
exports to Cuba of food, medi-
cineS and medical supplies are
to be excepted from the en-
barge.
A White House announce
ment today said the embargo
was being imposed "in accord
ance with the decisions of the
recent meeting of Foreign Min
listers of the Inter-American
system" at Punta del Este,
Uruguay.
Cuba thus will be deprived Of
dollar exchange it has received
from sales in the United States,
principally in tobacco. This
amounts to about $35 million
a year.
To Aid Tampa
Secretary of Labor Goldberg
will Immediately make avail
able all types of aid to the 5000
to 1000 employees of the Tampa
cigar industry, expected to be
hardest hit by the embargo.
Tampa cigar manufacturers
claim theS cannot find suitable
substitute tobacco leaf for the
Cuban tobacco they have used
until now.
Officials said it is not the
United States intention to dis
rupt air traffic between the
United States and Havana, or
other forms of communication.
The move was the first
United States action follow
ing the decision of Western
Hemisphere foreign ministers
this week to exclude Cuba from
the Organization of American
States because of its ties with
the Communist bloc.
In addition to tobacco. Amer
lean purchases from Cuba have
been in lobster, fruit and
vegetables. Sugar purchases
from Cuba were ended during
the Eisenhower administration.
U. S. Food Available
Under the new decision. Cuba
still will be able to buy United
States foods and drugs if the
Castro regime wishes. Thus the
United States hopes to pre-
serve its principle of avoiding
harm to the Cuban people
while striking at the Castro
Communist regime.
United States exports of food
and medical supplies to Cuba
amounted to $13.6 million in
the first II months of 1861.
Secretary of State Rusk re-
ported Thursday that the
United States has evidence
Cuba is spending dollars to
foment subversion in other
Latin American countries.
Then, in a televised report
to the Nation last night, Mr..
Rusk emphasized again the
unity of the hemisphere in the
objective of isolating Castro
Cuba.
Reporting on his 12-day
meeting with Latin American
foreign ministers at Punta Gel
Este, Uruguay, Secretary Rusk
listed seven accomplishments:
l. Twenty American repub-
lies unanimously named the
Castro Communist offensive
in Cuba present danger" to
the unity and freedom of the
hemisphere.
2. The hemisphere foreign
ministers agreed unanimously
to exclude intervention by pow
erS outside the hemisphere and
labeled the Cuban government
a MarxiSt-LeniniSt regime in
compatible with the American
system.
3. Fwo-thirds of the govern
ments agreed to exclude Cuba
from participation in the inter-
American system.
4. The foreign ministers
agreed unanimously to GUST

Defense Board and special ma
chlnery was established to

Frondizi Hits
Critics Of His
Cuba Policy
DefiuntIy Defends
Refusal to Back
Custer From OAS

bUENOS A1RES, Argentina,
Feb. 3 AP).-President Arturo
Frondizi bitterly assailed in
ternational reactionaries" today
and defiantly defended Argen-
tina'S refusal to vote for ex-
polling Cuba from the GAS at
the Punte del Este conference.
In a speech at Parana, Mr..
Frondizi declared he accepts
full responsibility for Argen-
tina's stand that brought angry
military demands for an imme-
date break in relations with
Ffdel Castro's Cuba.
In speaking of reactionaries,
Mr.. Frondizi referred to oppo-
nents of his governments posi-
ton and declared Il will die"
in defense of Argentina's dig
nifty.
He defended Argentina, Bra
iii, Chile, Ecuador and Mexico
for abStaining on the vote to
expel Cuba from the councils
of the Organization of Ameri-
can States.
Warning to U. S.
He said that against stern
opposition, the six-nation bloc
stood its ground 10 defend the
legal rights of the GAS and
1.-The basic principles of self
determination and noninter-
vention."
In a warning to the United
States and 10 Latin nations
which voted to expel Cuba, he
said the Remuneration of these
principles could plunge the
hemisphere into the law of the
jungle"
The Presidents surprising
speech, coming after he ap-
peared to have bowed to the
pressure of military leaders,
was expected to add fuel to the
military crisis in Argentina.
A government communique
had announced that Argentina
now favored the custer of Cuba
from the inter-American sys-
tenn "aS soon as possible"
Ambassador Recalled
And yesterday Mr.. Frondizi
had summoned home his Am
baSSador to Cuba, Julio
Amoedo, in an apparent first
step toward a break in diplo-
matte relations.
A communique issued by the
presidential palace last night
made it clear Argentina would
vote in favor of ousting Cuba
from the hemisphere family of
nations when the matter comes
up before the council of the
Organization of American
States.
Mr.. F'rondizi's communicate
pledged the Argentine govern
ment will comply strictly and
within all the resolutions
adopted at Punta del Este"
1t added: THE abstention of
Argentina did not mean that
Argentina was breaking it's SOL
idarity with the other nations
who voted on this resolution. :"
Early Action Favored
The communique declared the
expulsion of Cuba must be
carried out as soon as possible"
Some delegates at the Punta
del Este conference expressed
doubt there could be a quick
expulsion of Cuba, because they
said, there were no provisions
for it in the GAS charter.
While Mr.. Frondizi appar-
emily had averted an open clash
with his military leaders, the

stance, is spending more thar

Outside the District an aver
age of about eight cents per
person is spent annually for

comparison with the IL cents

Almost all the directors said
that the public shelter pro-
gram will require more Federal
assistance.
Most frequently mentioned
is Federal assistance for up
grading the fallout protection
In buildings which already
have some protection. This
would provide more shelter
spaces, they said.
"The money required is be-
yond the capability of COM
munities to provide" declared

spaces the Federal Govern
ment hopes to provide by low

less they can be stocked.
