world.
He commended those who
will work at the airport and at
other air and ocean ports
throughout the country. The
Chief Executive urged them to
put Americas best face for

Russia Reported FoVorins Brozil''

----~~-~---~-~~
Mr., Castro got Soviet verbal
support yesterday as United
States Delegate Arthur Dean
and Soviet Delegate Valerian
A. Zorin clashed on the issue
before the United Nations
Political Committee in New
York.
Mr.. Zorin called the Cuban
leaders warning against United
States flights perfectly legiti-
mate"
Mr.. Dean declared the United
States will continue scouting
missions over Cuba as long as
necessary and give its planes
protection if need be.
Calls Flights Unlawful
Mr.. zorin said any attempt
by the United States to violate
Cuban sovereignty, cannot but
provoke universal condemna-
ton"
Mr.. Zorin called, the United
States flights unlawful and
said the decision to continue
them caused deep concern for
the peace of the world"
The exchange yesterday was
triggered by Cuban Ambassador
Carlos Lechuga who interrupted
the committees disarmament
debate to announce that Mr..
Castros warning went into eff
feet "as of today"
Authorities said that Mr..
Castro certainly has the power
to fire on and perhaps to knock
down some United States
planes. There was no denial
that if this happened it would
bring a rapid increase in ten

Whether it would also have

Khrushchev to look more care

The United States is reported
to be increasing its diplomatic
pressure on Russia for prompt
removal of Soviet jet bombers
in Cuba.
Withdrawal of the planes -
the last of the offensive
weapons" to which the United
States made specific objection
presently dominates all
United States-Soviet contacts,
including personal exchanges
between President Kennedy and
Soviet Premier Khrushchev, in
formants said.
Mr.. Kennedy is understood
to have made clear to Mr..
Khrushchev that it will be i'm
possible for the United States
to move on any other front of
diplomatic relations until the
bomber problem is settled.
The President and his adj
visers regard it in large part
as an issue of good faith, since
Mr.. Khrushchev promised to
take from Cuba all the often
sive weapons to which Mr..
Kennedy objected and not just
the AZ missiles cleared out last
week end.
Still Prime Issue
Washington officials said the
bomber issue is of greater con-
Germ than Prime Minister Fidel
Castro's threat to shoot down
United States reconnaissance
aircraft.
Their confidence apparently
rested on belief the Russians
would not support Mr.. Castro
in any military action which
was sure to bring United States
retaliation.
There also is a conviction
here that Russians man the %
anti-aircraft missile batteries
in Cuba and that they are not
subject to Mr.. Castro's orders

President to Request $1O-Billion Increase In National Debt Limit

WASHINGTON R Sen. Harry Byrd, D-Va0, said Tues day President Kennedy is request ing a $10-billion increase in the national debt limit.
 The Virginia senator said he will ask the Senate Finance Com mittee, which he heads, to go into all aspects of federal spending and taxation before it acts on a proposed boost of the limit from $298 billion to a record breaking $308 billion.
 Secretary of the Treasury Doug las Dillon asked for boost of $2 billion before March and $8 billion for the fiscal year begifi- ming next July l. He said this would have an estimated peak debt of $3O4.5 billion next Dec. Is and give the Treasury about the $3 billion elbow room it needs to operate under the ceiling.
 Byrd said he is willing to go along with the temporary increase to $500 billion because ''the Pres ident told me personally that otherwise the government couldn't pay it's bills"
 ssBut before we make any fur ther increases, think the coun- try should be told exactly where we stand financially" he said We have gone along the road of reckless spending and debt in- creases as far as we can go."

Nikita Faces Difficulties on
 The Home Front

WASHINGTON R Soviet Premier Khrushchev is apparently facing considerable difficulties at home, say US. specialists in So- viet affairs. But they add that the United States and it's allies have no reason to rejoice.
 This is the specialists evalua- tion of such Kremlin riddles as the strange story of V. M. Molo- toy, the rift between Moscow and Peiping with tiny Albania in the m Id dle, the whereabouts of Khrushchev himself, and a re- ported speech he made but which was not printed in the Soviet press.
 These and other signs, say the observers, point to struggle be- tween Khrushchev and a strong Stalinist group in his party's Gen. tral Committee.
 The Stalinist elements, the be- lief is here, do not form an or ganized group, but their number may be large and they exercise power both in the hierarchy and in the lower level of the party apparatus.
 But this interpretation of So- viet goings-on does not particu- larly please Western observers. Though it is expected that Khrushchev will ultimately over come any Stalinist opposition, he might be forced to take into ac- count it's views or return to Stalinist terror and eliminate the opposition.
 Khrushchev, it is now believed here by many officials, does not exercise such personal control over formulation of policy as Stalin did.

Demo Leaders to Press Legislation for Federal Aid to Colleges

WASHINGTON R House Democratic leaders announced after a meeting with President Kenndey Tuesday that they will press legislation for federal aid for colleges as a separate meas ure from proposed federal funds for public schools.
 Both the college and public school aid proposals were begged down last year in the House Rules Committee. They were victims of controversy over whether to in- clude aid for parochial schools in the general education measure.
 President Kennedy took stand that aid to church schools was of doubtful constitutionality, but many Roman Catholic leaders in- sisted parochial schools should have help if federal funds went to public schools.
 The administration has recom- mended spending $2.5 billion over the next three years on public school construction and teacher salaries. Its higher education bill would provide g billion over a period of years for college build- ings and scholarships.

Denies Raiders Charges of
 Egan Pressure

JUNEAU tH - The Juneau man who introduced a controversial resolution approved by the South east District Democratic Conven- ton held here last weekend said it was offered without pressure from any source.
 John Rader, Democratic candi- date for governor, charged the resolution was pushed through the convention by representatives of Gov. Egan's office The resolu- tion urged Egan to run for re- election.
 John Simpson, president of the Greater Juneau Democratic Club, said he introduced the resolution and there lis no one, with the exception of my wife, who can put pressure on me-
 Simpson said he resented Ra- der's statement that the resolu- ton was approved by state em- ployes reluctant to draw the ire of the administration. He said there was not a single state em- ploye on the Resolutions and Plat form Committee.
 For MT. Rader to assume what he has, is to say the least, to be absolutely wrong.
 The only proper interpretation is that the Democratic party mem bers in attendance hoped to make certain that they would again have the opportunity for leader ship of proven ability and ex- perience.
 'iMr. Rader, on one hand states that he has personal knowledge of dissatisfaction among state em- ployes, and on the other hand he says these state employees are at tempting to perpetuate this dis satisfaction"
