Charter Issue
Put on Ballot
Referendum Slated
In Prince Georges
BY JAMES B. ROWLAND
star staff Writer

Star Staff Writer
A ong-sought charter ref
erendum question today was
ordered placed on the Novem-
Der 6 ballot by Judge Roscoe
H. Parker in Prince Georges
Circuit Court.
Judge Parker ruled that
charter forces had proven the
validity of 12,248 signatures
on referendum petitions. A
total of 10000 names is re-
uuired and 1925 were filed.
In making his decision, Judge
Parker granted a writ OF man
damus sought by charterites
and dismissed a taxpayers
suit seeking an injunction to
keep the charter off the ballot.
Judge Parker's decision was
the first solid victory in a 2
month fight by charterites to
get the home-rule question on
the ballot.
1.-THE right of the people to
petition, in all respects, has
been complied WITH" Judge
Parker said.
He said charter workers have
proven the petition signatures
"are genuine and bona fide and
that the signers are registered
voters"
The requirement was spelled
out last month by the Mary
land Court of Appeals in a deci-

u. 5. Refuses
Sea Pledge
British Hit Foruy
By Cuban Rebels
BY the Associated Press

The United States has told
Britain that this country can
not prevent all anti-Castro
shipping raids which might
jeopardize British ships in the
Cuban trade.
A British statement O. con-
Germ has brought an American
response which seemed, in
some respects, to say that the
British ships could only pro-
coed in the Cuban trade at
their own risk.
State Department Press Of
ficer Lincoln White said the
matter had been raised with
the department by the British
Embassy here in connection
with the attack some weeks
ago by a Cuban exile group on
several ships, including the
British vessel Newlane.
New Threat Voiced
A Cuban exile group calling
itself Alpha Sc claimed it car
riedsout the attacks, and said 1t
has headquarters in Puerto
Rico.
Yesterday Alpha Sc said 1t
will hit at any shipping headed
for Cuba.
Press reports from London
earlier today said the British
government was disturbed
about the threatened campaign
against vessels delivering car
goes to the regime of Fidel
Castro.
"The British were assured, I"
Mr.. White said, that these
attacks specifically the raid
on shipping when the Newlane
was hit) do not have the sane
ton of the United States Gov
eminent"
Mr.. White said, however, that
"Cubans reside at many places
all around the Caribbean, and
the United States cannot as
sumo responsibility for acts
initiated by Cuban exiles who
have left from points not under
United States Jurisdiction"
Britain earlier had warned
she would take "a serious view
of any attacks" on her Cuba
bound shipping by Alpha Sc.
If British merchantmen on
the Cuba run had to go through
a gauntlet of attacks by Alpha
66 raiders, there is little doubt
the government would be
pressed to provide Royal Navy
protection for its ships.
The British have not said
SO officially but privately assert
that Alpha 66 operates from
United States territory using
largely United States equip
ment. In that sense London
takes the view that the Ameri-
can administration could be
held at least partly responsible
for any illegal activities by the
exile group.

If he sticks to his objections,
House leaders will have to go

This would cast a cloud on
the hopes of leaders to adjourn

Meanwhile, another group of
conferees held closed ses-
sion on disputed items in the

has been a major stumbling

Second American Diplomat
Ordered Out by Moscow
SpyChoree
LeveIed at
Official

MOSCOW, Oct. IL (APl.-
The Soviet Union today
charged American Embassy
First Secretary Kermit 8.
Midthun with spying and
ordered him out Of the country.
Mr.. Midthun is the second
American diplomat expelled
within a week in apparent
retaliation for the United
States expulsion on espionage
charges last week Of two Soviet
diplo rats at the United
Nations.
United States Counsellor
Minister John M. McSweeney
said Deputy Foreign Minister
N. Smirnovsky ordered the
American Embassy to send Mr..
Midthun home at a meeting at
the Foreign Ministry today.
Departure Ordered
In a statement read to Mr..
McSweeney, the Russians
charged that the 41-year-old
diplomat attempted to induce
a Soviet citizen, an employe Of
the government institutions, to
transmit to him information Of
a secret character"
It said this was inconsistent
with Mr.. Midthun's status as
a diplomat and ordered his I'M
mediate departure from the
Soviet Union.
Mr.. insolvency said Mr..
Smirnovsky would not give fur
thur details of the alleged in
cident. He said Mr.. MidthuH
denied the charge and could
think of no basis for it.
The Russians last Friday
ordered Assistant United States
Naval Attache Raymond D.
Smith out OF the country on
lcharges that he spied on milf
tary installations during a trip
to the Baltic seaport Of Lenin-
grad. Comdr. Smith and his
family left Moscow Monday.
No Details known
: Mr.. McSweeney said he had
not protested the Russian .ac-
ltion against Mr.. Midthuns as
he had in Comdr. Smiths case
because the Embassy knew
nothing of the alleged attempt
to obtain Soviet secrets.
The United States State De-
partment later charged that
Soviet officials manhandled
Comdr. Smith in Leningrad.
The Russians said they con-
fiscated a camera, a tape re-
corder and other items in his
possession.
The text of the note as pub
lished in the government news
paper Izvestia read:
Competent Soviet organs in

Fighting Erupts
On Northeastern
HimuIuyu Border

NEW DELHI, India, Oct. IL
(AP).-Prime Minister Nehru
said today that the Indian
army has been ordered to drive
Chinese Communist troops
from Indian territory on the
northeast frontier.
Mr.. Nehru said his govern
ment had ordered the army ito
free our territory in the north
east frontier"
Fighting erupted on the
Himalayan frontier in the
northeast on Wednesday.
In the fighting then, Mr..
Nehru estimated the Chinese
Communists suffered nearly
100 casualties. This was nearly
three times the figure reported
by Peiping.
An Indian spokesman said
Indian losses were six killed, II
wounded and seven missing.
The spokesman said there
had been no shooting reported
yesterday but was unable to
say whether the battle had
flared again today.
Nehru Flies to CeyIon
Red China lodged a strong
est and most serious protest"
with the Indian Embassy in
Peiping, accusing India of in
vadine Chinese territory and
spreading IT,, flames of war.
Mr.. Nehru spoke to newsmen
before taking a plane for a
three-day trip to Ceylon. He
had consulted with Defense
Minister v. K. Krishna Menon
and Foreign Ministry officials
on the border crisis yesterday.
Mr.. Nehru said he could not
predict when Indian forces
would force the Chinese out.
But he said the Indian forces
were strongly positioned and
in large number operating
from higher ground"
He said he was unable to
give their exact number. But
he said they were quite near
their base of operations and
that the two sides were fight
ing from opposite sides of a
river, which he did not name
The. fighting is not contin-
uous, he added.
$50 long as this particular
aggression continues" Mr.
Nehru said, "there appears to
be no chance of talks" between
the Indian and Chinese govern
ments on the border issue.
Leading Officer Sent
Previously Mr.. Nehru had
said the Chinese must quit the
territory claimed by India be-
fore his government would hold
negotiations.
1t. Gen. B. M. Raul, one OF
midas leading officers, was
sent to head a newly organized
army corps on the northeast
frontier last week.
An Indian government
spokesman said the fighting
broke out Wednesday after a
Chinese Communist soldier
hurled a grenade at an Indian
outpost.
The Indians reported their
casualties at II killed or
wounded. Peiping said 80 Chi
nese troops were killed or
wounded.
Peiping Protests
Radio Peiping claimed the
Indian troops filed in con-
fusion, leaving 6 corpses and
arms and ammunition behind. :"
The radio said the Foreign
Ministry in Peiping lodged a
strong protest with the Indian
Embassy. The note said:
Should the Indian side still
not rein in before the precipice,
but continue to spread the
flames of war, the Indian gov
eminent must bear full respon-
sibility for the resulting casual
ties on both sides and all other
consenuenceS that NAV enSlIe."

a bill that would bring the Dis
trict under the Federal pro-
gram Of aid to impacted school
areas.
The bill, which apparently
has little chance Of enactment
this session, would give the city
about $4 million a year in op-

The District now Is excluded
from the aid program. This
provides Federal money to
school districts that are under

inp the month Of September and / found out there that
we could acquire the whole of the Bourne Field proper
ties through A Federal Aviation Agency, II they
would certify that we needed Bourne Field to run the
airport. In other words, if the airport could not mann
AN itself as it should, if we needed all OF the adjacent
properties to produce revenues to run the airport, FAA
Wuold certify It. And furthermore, they told me, the
FAA at a later date would authorize the Government TO
sell the whole thing, if we wanted to build a new ar
nort. using the money from the sale to build a new alrpOt.
They even took me to a small town near M1am1to snow
me one which had been handled exactly that way. The
town had built a new airport with revenues recovered
from the sale of the old Navy airport. Sol wrote a brief
to the Department Of the Interior on that, asking FAA
!. cer1Ily the enI1re Bourne Field properties. This was
still under the former Administration. The Department
Of the Interior took no action on it! The determination
was. then, that we would get it through Congress,
through VICORP, or nothing.
During the past few months, with the new Admins"
tration. the matter has been received. Governor Pa1eWon-
sky has discussed it with the FAA, he has discussed it
with the Department of the Interior, and the new Armln-
~istrations is more amenable to going forward on the pro-
perties.
THE PRESIDENT: Under the FAA plan?
MR.. DE CASTRO: On the FAA plan, or on any
other plan, they would give us the properties. There are
still some small arguments about pieces of property, not
involving any large holdings. I think, for example, one
Federal department has asked for a house or two houses
for its personnel who are already occupying them now.
But those are things that can be cleared in Washington.
