Opening lead: King of spades.
North's overcall of one no
trump would normally show a ]
strong hand, just like an OPEN
ing bid Of one no-trump. Since
North had passed to begin with,
however, nobody expected him
to have so good a hand.
Experts call such a bid the
unusual" no-trump overcall,
promising length in clubs end
diamonds, the minor suits. In
this case, North's overcall
robbed West of game, since
it assured South that a sacri-
flee in clubs or diamonds would
not be expensive.
Mind you, West might have
been beaten at four spades, but
you'd have to take your hat
| off to the defenders. North
must lead the singleton heart
and South must return the jack
of diamonds instead Of giving
his partner a ruff. If West puts
UP the king of diamonds, North
must win and return a low dia-
mond to the 10. Only then can
South afford to lead a heart
| for North to ruff.
Since West would probably
make four spades even in an
expert game, South's sacrifice
at five clubs was good idea
especially since West let South
make the contract.
Sees Dummy
"I'll take a look at dummy"
West remarked as he opened
the king of spades. Maybe no
body had told him that he
would have the right to look
at dummy no matter what he
led.
At the second trick West
switched to the ace of clubs
and then a low club, but it
was too late. South won the
second trump in dummy. ruffed
a spade, won a diamond finesse
in dummy and ruffed another
spade. He got back to dummy
with a diamond to draw Vests
last trump and dummy was
high.
West should have started the
trumps instead of the spades.
South would have to give up a
spade and West would lead a
third trump. That would cost
South a trick and West would
defeat the contract.

What do you say?
Answer: Bid two hearts.
Change a small diamond or q
small spade to the ace and you
would bid two clubs to look
for game in a major suit. With
the actual hand you just want
to stop short at a reasonably
safe part-score contract.

that he intends to press for the
withdrawal of the United States
from its naval base at Guam

4. Summit Conference.-The
ministration leaders believe it
is too early to speculate about
prospects for a meeting Of
President Kennedy with Mr..
Khrushchev and possibly other
world leaders. Mr.. Khrushchev
has offered to meet the pre-
condition set by the President
a week ago, however, by re-
moving the offensive weapons
from Cuba. Qualified sources
here know of no withdrawal
of Mr.. KhruShchev'S intention
to visit the United Nations be-
fore the end of the year. Presi-
dent Kennedy, however, has
made no plans yet to go to the
United Nations.

events of the last few weeks
have proved the pressing need
for a newly intensified effort
at disarmament. Once the
Cuban missile problem is
settled, yet another try at dis
armament under effective in

States made no secret deals to
get the Soviet promise to with
draw its missiles.
Mr.. Khrushchev's decision
: to back away from war
may be interpreted as a
success for the United States,
but it is far from an uncondi-
tional surrender by the Soviet
Union, these sources warn.
Administration leaders there
fore expect many of the same
old problems and some new
ones to be confronting them if
the nuclear threat in Cuba is
removed.
Problems Listed
Here are some of the prob
lens ahead:
/. Dismantling Cuban bases
If there is not clear evidence
of a shutdown at the missile
sites IN Cuba in a very short
period, the United States may
yet have to go through with its
open threat to disable them by
force. If the Soviet buildup is
halted, the United States is
willing to work out under
United Nations mediation a dis
Greet inspection plan which will
verify with certainty the dis
mantling and removal Of the
missiles without exposing Soviet
technical secrets. The inspec-
ton job does not require spe-
cialists, the United States be-
lieveS.
2. New Soviet moves-Ad-
ministration leaders have no
hint about the new demands
or proposals Soviet Deputy For
eign Minister Kuzenetsov Is
bringing to the United Nations
from Moscow. He has a repu-
tation as a conciliatory type,
however, and official Washing
ton is encouraged by Mr.. Khru-
shchev'S choice. AdminiStra-
ton leaders have seen nothing
to change their expectation OF
a Berlin crisis soon. The Cuban
experience sets no precedents
for Soviet Cancellation in other
fields. Acceptance Of inspection
in Cuba, for instance, is not
regarded as the forerunner Of
Soviet acceptance of inspection
for a nuclear test ban or any
other disarmament measure.
Red Cuba Remains
3. Castro's Cuba-After the
nuclear missiles are removed
the problem of Communist
Cuba will remain. The threat
Of exported trouble from Cuba
twill still face the rest Of Latin
America. More than that, Pre-

In relation to the pronounce

United States would accept

Prime Minister Nikita Khru-
shchev to retire from Cuban
territory the installations of
defensive strategic arms, the
revolutionary government of
Cuba declares that:
The guarantees against an
aggression on Cuba of which
President Kennedy speaks will
not exist unless in addition to
the elimination of the naval
blockade which he promises,
the following measures, among
others, are adopted.

CASTRO DEMANDS
u. S. WITHDRAWAL

HAVANA, Oct. % (AP).-
Prime Minister Fidel Castro
says any United States guaran-
tee against aggression on Cuba
is worthless unless the United
States withdraws from the
Guantanamo Naval Base and
ends it's campaign against his
regime.
In a statement read by the
Havana radio yesterday, Mr..
Castro demanded five specific
concessions from Washington
which he said were necessary to
guarantee Cuba's security from
United States aggression.
The statement reviewed the
exchange between President
Kennedy and Premier Khru-
shchev on the subject Of the
Soviet missile bases in Cuba.
Mr.. Castro said his demands
were related to Mr.. Khru-
shchev's announcement that
Russia is hating work on the
bases and removing its missiles
from the country.
Would End Boycott
These were Mr.. CaStro's de-
mandS:
l. Lifting the United States
economic boycott of Cuba.
2. An end to all "subversive
activities, organization of mer-
cenary invaders and infiltra-
ton of spies and saboteurs"
from United States territory.

Bishops Discuss
Stand on Wars

COLUMBIA, S. c., Oct. %
(AP). - An official C h ur C h
posture on war and peace was
proposed today to the House of
Bishops of the Episcopal
Church.
1t was the first major bust
ness for the meeting since the
bishops gathered here Saturday
They end their 1862 conclave
Thursday.
Before the group was a re-
port of a study made by a COM
mittee headed by the Rev. Will
liam G. Pollard, priest at the
Institute of Nuclear Studies at
Oak Ridge, Tenn. The two
year study delves into the
moral, theological and other asr
poets of war and peace.
The church must proclaim
categorical condemnation of to-
tai, all-out war" the report
says. Under modern con-
lions. such war cannot serve
any moral or even useful pur-
pose. -"
Nuclear devices and other
weapons of war must be abol-
ished. the reports says, when
world disarmament is feasible. "

cred to be more or less for the
record. American photo recon-
naissance is comprehensive and
thorough.
However, if the observers also
are given the task of guaran-
teeing that no more offensive
weapons are smuggled into
Cuba after the American block
ade is lifted, they will have a
more significant task.
And if Cuba follows through
with an earlier promise to &C
cept total disarmament in re-
turn for release from invasion
threats and economic pressures,
the neutral commission may be-
come the worlds first disarma-
ment inspection body.
Topics Wide Ranging
Mr.. Thant asked Mr.. Castro
yesterday for a wide-ranging
discussion covering "all i'm
portant aspects of the problem. "
He said he hoped to reach a
solution respecting" Cuban
sovereignty and giving ere
assurance" to "other countries
which have felt themselves
threatened by recent develop
mentS in Cuba"
Such a negotiation presum-
ably would go deep into the
long-range relations between
Mr.. Castro and the rest of the
hemisphere. Much of the hem
isphere has felt itself threat
ened.
The question thus begins to
arise: Under what conditions,
if any, would the United States
and Latin America wish to live
with Mr.. Castro over the long
run?

Otherwise Mr.. Castro made
no comment on the Soviet

Still Prepare Defenses
Mr.. Castro's lengthy declara-
ton was read in his name on
the Havana radio. The station

reports of Cuban defense prep

to train themselves in first aid
techniques without delay.
The Prime Minister did not
spell out any measures he might
be contemplating to force an
American withdrawal from the
45-square-mile base on Cuba's
southeast coast. He has said
repeatedly Cuba would regain
the base by legal means and
not by force.
BY a treaty signed early this
century the United States is
entitled to stay in Guantanamo
as long as it desires on pay
ment of a yearly rental fee
of $4,000. The base has been
operated by the United States
Navy since it was captured

BY The Associated Press

A State Department spokes-
man, rebuffing a Cuban demand
for withdrawal from Guanta-
namo, declared today that
United States treaty rights to
the big naval base are clear,
and "our position there re-
mains unchanged"
Privately, officials said there
are mo deals" involved in any
way in the United States-Soviet
agreement for withdrawal of
Russian nuclear missiles from
Soviet bases in Cuba.
The Guantanamo issue was
raised by Premier Fidel Castro
yesterday when he made a series
of demands on the United
States, beginning with with
drawal from the big naval base.
When State Department Press
Officer Lincoln White was
asked for reaction to the
Castro demands, he told a news
conference:
1.-THE immediate goal of the
United States is the elimina-
ton of the missile bases in
Cuba which were installed by
the Soviet government and
which have been operated ex-
clusively by Soviet technicians. "
Position Unchanged
When Mr.. White was told
that his response did not reply
to the request for reaction to
the Guantanamo demand made
by Mr.. Castro, he then said:
"Our treaty rights to the
base at Guantanamo are clear,
and our position there remains
unchanged"
His evident reluctance to be
drawn into the Guantanamo
issue indicated that United
States leaders are determined
to keep the focus of the whole
situation on the missile bases.

Police said one of the blasts
apparently blew up the sabo-
tours boat, killing one of the

A Creole spokesman said the

Informants said the gov
eminent faces a serious loss
of foreign exchange earned
from oil royalties, Venezeula's
main source of wealth. Ven
ezuela collects about 10 per
cent of its SIP million daily
revenue from the country's oil
production, the third largest
in the world.
Production totals about g.
million barrels daily, mostly for
export. A company spokesman
said the company has enough
oil stockpiled to meet it's inter-
national commitments.
Powers Pumps
The blasts knocked out the
transformers that convert the
voltage which powers the rigs
pumping oil from the under
water wells. Police suspect one
of the bombers was a company
employe because of the skill
with which production was
paralyzed with only a few
bombs.
The government rushed a
Marine battalion to lake Mara

met President Kennedy's prin-
cipal condition for a peace set
Element. This would involve.
in return, elimination of the
arms blockade and an American
pledge not to invade Cuba.
But Mr.. Castro-with or with
out Soviet collusion-remained
adamant. He made five de-
fiant demands yesterday which
he said must be met before the
Soviet missiles could go.
One was evacuation of the
American naval base at Guam
tanamo. Another was cessation
of American photo reconnais-
sance of his island, and the
others amounted to an end of
military and economic pres
sures on his regime.
Accord Seen JeOpardized
Most, if not all, of Mr.. Cas-
tro's conditions were obviously
unacceptable to the United
States under foreseeable con-
ditions, diplomats said. If he
persisted the whole deal could
fall through, they warned.
Moreover, Mr.. Castro and his
lieutenants have previously
said they would refuse to per-
NIT U. N. observers on Cuban
territory, and have not pub
licly modified this position.
Mr.. Thant's mission is to
bring Mr.. Castro around. In
formants said the Secretary
General would try to persuade
the Cuban dictator to do two
things:
/. Release the missiles with
out any preconditions other
than elimination of the block
ade and a promise of no in
vasion-the promises Mr.. Ken
nedy made to Mr.. Khrushchev.
It is presumed here that Mr..
Castro has little choice but to
accept Mr.. Khrushchev's de-
ciSion in this matter.
2. Admit U. N. inspectors to
verify the removal, and give
them sufficient freedom to per-
form their task. This Mr..
Castro theoretically could pre-
vent even though Mr.. Khru-
shchev were willing.
Mr.. Castro may balk at being
treated as dependable" it is
said here, or he may block U. N.
inspection at MI. Khrushchev's
secret bidding. Mr.. Khrushchev
may not want the U. N. to
take too close a look at the
missiles.
Mr.. Thant'S method of elm
mating this Castro roadblock
is already apparent. 1t is a
combination of flattery, diplo-
macy and fait accompli.
Making use of an invitation
issued to him personally, Mr..
Thant is bringing into Cuba
three leaders of a politico-
military observer team.
They are Brig. I. ]. RikAye
of India, Hernane Tavares de
Sa Of Brazil and Omar Loutfi
of the United Arab Republic.
Brig. Rikhye is one of Mr..
Thant's key Congo StrategistS.
Mr.. Loutfi is a veteran politi-
cal tactician. Mr.. de Sa is a
suave Castro sympathizer with
a newspaper editors back
ground.
Assuming Mr.. Castro does
not balk, one or all of the
three, plus staff, are expected
to remain to prepare the way
for a team of about 80 neutral
observers who would follow
almost Immediately.
Arms Talk Neutrals
In line with a proposal orig
inally made by Canadian
Prime Minister John Diefen-
baker, the observers would be
drawn primarily from the eight
neutral countries at the &C.
neva disarmament table: Bra
I'll, Mexico, Sweden, the United
Arab Republic, India, Burma,
Nigeria and Ethiopia.
The observers would check
missile sites-the United States
can direct them to the spots
- and see that the missiles
have been dismantled.
