Flyers on Last Petrol
When Gunboots Fired

Three Washington Area Naval
Air Reservists were on their
last training patrol mission
near the Cuban coast when
they were fired on by two
naval craft believed to be Gu
bans.
The trio was winding up a
two-week tour Of summer train
ing Thursday when they took
their twin-engine Grumman
S2F1 Tracker plane on a flight
from the Boca Chica Naval Air
Station in the Florida Keys to
international waters is miles
from the coast Of Cuba, ac-
cording to their account of the
incident.
Details Of the attack were
withheld by the Defense De-
partment and it was not dis
closed whether bullets from the
vessels struck the patrol plane.
One naval officer said the cRw
probably became aware Of the
gunfire when they detected
tracer bullets.
The Star learned that the
crew observed muzzle flashes
from the gunboass as they
neared the vessels in iTlterna-
tional waters and flew out of
the area Immediately

PLANE
Kedting Says Russio
Has Troops in Cubo

by Mr.. Kennedy. They said
there is still no hard evidence
that Russian combat troops
have arrived in Cuba. although
their information is that more
than 1.500 military technicians
have arrived.
The fact the patrol plane flew
so close to the two naval ves-
sells may be an indication Of
how closely the United States
is watching the Russian ship
ments.
One question raised by the
attack on the plane was
whether it was carried out un-
der orders. There was some
speculation the blame may lay
with trigger-happy Cubans s
keyed up by Prime Minister
Castro's repeated warnings Of
an imminent invasion.
Dispatches from Havana re-
port that military and police
guards have been strengthened
around major buildings and in
stallations amid rumors-offi-
cially ignored by the govern
ment-that anti-Castro forces
have made new landings in
Las villas and Oriente prov
inces.

plications from Cubans for

The shooting was the latest
in a series Of incidents, especi-
ally in the last couple Of
months, between this country
and Cuba.
Only eight days ago, a hotel
outside Havana was shelled by
small boats lying offshore.
Cuba accused the United States
Of instigating the attack. The

dents.

By the Associated Press

Senate Judiciary Committee
appeared today to hold the key
to contempt Of Congress action
against four big steel compan-
les battling against disclosing
production costs to Senate in
vestigatorS.
" The Senate Antitrust Sub
committee. a unit of the Judi
ciary Committee. voted S to 2
yesterday to recommend that
the companies and nine Of
their top executives be cited for
contempt, punishable by a
81, 900 fine, a year in prison,
or both.
The subcommittee, headed by
Senator Kefauver, Democrat of
Tennessee, accused the steel
executives Of "contumacious
conduct" after they failed to
appear in response to sub
poenas and supply detailed fig
ures on production costs.
The companies are the Beth
lehem. Republic, National and
Armco Steel corporations.
Committee Hold Fate
The cost data first was sub
poenaed last April after an
nouncement Of a $6-a-ton steel
price increase. subsequently res
rinded under pressure from
President Kennedy. Senator
Kefauver contends the informa-
tion is essential to evaluate
steel pricing practices.
The next step is up to the
full Judiciary Committee, q
conservative stronghold in the
Senate presided over by Senator
Eastland, Democrat Of Missis-
sippi. 1t is not expected to meet
before the middle Of next week.
'.F"I think Senator Kefauver
will find it rather difficult to
get the Judiciary Committee to
recommend contempt action"
Minority Leader Dirksen told q
reporter.
Senator Dirksen. the Senate
Republican leader, is q top
ranking member both Of the
Judiciary Committee and Of
Senator Kefauver's antitrust
unit.
The Judiciary Committee is
composed Of nine Democrats
and six Republicans. OF the
Democrats, four are South
erners who do not serve on the |
Antitrust Subcommittee.
Some May Go to Floor
Senator Dirksen indicated he
was hopeful the Southerners
and the Republicans would
stand together and reject the
contempt Of Congress action
recommended by Senator Ke-
fauver's subcommittee. If not,
the issue then will go to the
Senate itself.
The subcommittee's vote to
recommend contempt citations
was along strict party lines.
Senator Kefauver was joined
by. fellow Democrats Carroll Of
Colorado, Hart Of Michigan,
Dond Of Connecticut and Long
OF Missouri. The two Republi-
can members. Senators Hruska
OF Nebraska and Dirksen voted.
AGAINST the contempt resolution.

Senator Dirksen said he did
not feel the four steel COM
panies and their executives
were guilty Of "contumacious
conduct"

ffance of authority, but that
