Before Soviet Premier

Cuba, the West had been head
ing into a tense showdown over
the Kremlin's four-year-old
threat to GUST American, Brit
ish and French troops from
West Berlin.
After Cuba, there appeared

for almost 80 years, said she
did not know that any officer
or sponsors Of the organization
were Communists.
The Medical Aid Committee
itself issued q statement soon
after the House committee
opened two days of public hear
ings to determine whether the
Medical Aid to Cuba Committee
and the Friends of British
Guiana were Communist in
fluenced.
The House committee said in
advance that the purpose Of
the hearings will be to investi-
gate possible shortcomings Of
the Foreign Agents Registration
Act.
The, Medical Aid Committee
listed more than q score OF
persons prominent in civic. re-
ligious and educational affairs.
It quoted them as criticizing
the House committee for sum-
moning Medical Aid Commit
tee officers to the hearing and
"harassing people who are do
ing a humanitarian service by
sending life-saving medicines
to the sick men. women and
children of Cuba"
The statement also said the
signers regarded the House
committees hearings as aimed
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-11-14

at hating "a constructive func-
ton which might contribute to
improved relations between the
United States and Cuba"
The only Washington res
idents listed among the signers
were the Rev. Theodore R.
Bowen and Daniel M. Berman.
The first witness today said
that she was a professional
singer and that her profess
Sional name was Malta Del
Villar. Her married name was
Mrs. Louis Amster. She lives in
New York City.
She told the House commit
tee that she and several friends
formed the Medical Aid Com
mittee in October. 1861. She
declared that the organizations
purpose was solely to send drugs
and medicine to the National
Hospital at Havana and that
there were no political or prop
uganda considerations involved.
When House committee mem
bers indicated they had other
evidence indicating that some
officers Of the committee
might be Communists, Mrs. Del
Villar protested that she knew
nothing of this and should not
! be questioned along that line.

believe the Russians will use
the continued presence of the
bombers as q bargaining lever
in the negotiations.
Chances Of lifting the block
ade were remote following word
from Geneva that the Interna-
tional Red Cross Committee had
decided not to take part In in
spection of Cuba-bound ships
under present conditions.
IS Ships Cleared
A total Of IS merchant YES
sells have passed through the
naval arms blockade and
reached Cuba in the past two
weeks, according to the Defense
Department.
A report, given in response to
questions, listed eight Soviet
vessels, three from Communist
bloc nations, 10 under Com
munist charter and six others.
Thirty-two of the ships ar
rived in Cuba between october
20 and November 10. Three
ships from nom Communist ma
tons have locked in Cuba since
last Saturday, the report said.
There was no information
available Immediately on the
number of vessels which passed
through the blockade between
october "a, when it was i'm
posed, and october 20.
The Department would not
say how many ships were halted
and how many were boarded.

BUDGET

/
1864 below $98 billion, officials
indicated, and hopes to reduce
the budget deficit below this
years $7.8 billion.
Conservatives demand a re-
duction in spending before
taxes are cut, but a successful
effort to limit expenditures
might mollify them.
Economy Sluggish
Sluggish economic activity
which has reduced Federal tar
revenues below expectations
was the biggest single factor In
changing the fiscal 1868 budget
outlook from January's fore
cast.
Here are the highlights Of
the budget revisions, released
last night:
Spending-$93.7 billion now
estimated for fiscal 1868, up
from the January forecast OF
$92.5 billion and OUTLAWS OF
$87.7 billion in fiscal 1862.
RevenueS-$85.9 billion, COM
pared with the January fore
cast of $93 billion and $81.4
billion in fiscal 1862.
Deficit-$7.8 billion, compared
with the January forecast Of a
$463 million surplus and the
deficit Of $6.3 billion in fiscal
1862.
Defense Spending Up
Although OUTLAWS for defense
and space inevitably will rise
substantially in fiscal 1854, Of
ficials said the President is
holding spending down in
civilian areas. They indicated
that they expect to squeeze
spending below the 500 billion
mark, to avoid breaking the
1898 billion spending record Of
wartime fiscal 1945.
The revenue outlook for fiscal
1864 still is fuzzy because Of
uncertainties about the economy
and tax legislation. But the
administration hopes to hold
the deficit to about the fiscal
1868 level and perhaps to re-
duce it.
In addition to presenting re-
vised estimates for the con-
ventional administrative budget,
the Budget Bureau released
figures for two other kinds Of
budgets.
Cash Budget
In the cash budget, useful
for some kinds Of analysis, ex-
penditures now are estimated
at $115.l billion and receipts
at $108.9 billion, for a deficit
of $6.3 billion. This compared
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-11-14
BUDGET
Kennedy Still Plans

with a surplus Of SIS billion
predicted last January, and a
deficit of $5.T billion in fiscal
1862.
In the national income ac-
counts version of the budget,
which is used for economic
analysis, expenditures are esti-
mated at $113.3 billion and rev.
enues at $108.8 billion, for a
deficit Of $4.5 billion. This
compared with a $4.4 billion
surplus predicted in January
and a deficit Of 5000 million in
fiscal 1862.
Even the new revenue esti-
mate of $3.50 billion in the
conventional budget is optimiS-
tic. 1t is based on gross ma
tional product-total value of
goods and services - totaling
1854 billion in calendar 1862.
That would be SIG billion be-
low the January forecast, but
some economists expect the
total to fall still lower.
Revenue Down
The current revenue estimate
is ST. billion below the January
forecast mainly because of the
economy's sluggishneSs. Per-
sonal income now is estimated
at SAL billion in calendar 1862,
down 81 billion from the orig
inal prediction, and corporate
profits are estimated at $50.7
billion, off from $56.5 billion.
In addition, the Budget
Bureau calculates that this
years tax revision bill will cost
the Government 81 billion of
revenue, and that the new
liberalized rules for deprecia-
ton will cost another 81 billion.
Major spending increases
above the January estimates
were traced by the Budget Bu-.
reau to a six-rnonth delay in
raising postal rates, congress
sional action raising postal and
civil service workers pay higher
than the President recon-
mended, refusal by Congress to
enact the administrations
dairy price support program,
bigger OUTLAWS for cotton price
supports, the new public works
program and higher interest
rates on the larger public debt.
Major spending reductions
were listed for economic for
eign aid, housing and the youth
employment program, which
Congress did not enact. Mill
tary spending estimates are
unchanged from January in
total, but increased OUTLAWS in
the Cuba crisis and other pro-
grams were offset by reduced
spending for civil defense.

are joining the blockade forces,
the United States Defense De-
partment announced. Naval
craft from two other Latin
American nations, Argentina
and the Dominican Republic,
already are participating.
The Defense Department in
a review yesterday said IS mer-
chant ships passed through the
blockade between october 20
and November 10 and went on
to Cuba. 1t would not say how
many were halted or how many
we're boarded. The Department
said the ships included eight
Soviet vessels, three from other
Communist-block nations, 10
under Communist charter and
six others.
Port Building Watched
Meanwhile, the State Depart
ment said this country will
continue to follow with interest
any port building activities in
Cuba" to watch for any pos
sible military threat they may
pose to the United States or
the Western Hemisphere"
Noting speculation about de-
velopment of a fishing port"
in the Banes area of northeast
Cuba, State Department Press
Officer Lincoln White said
these ports could be built at a
number of locations including
Banes.
The Soviet Union and Cuba
announced agreement in Sep
TENDER, however, to build a
fishing harbor at Havana, Mr..
White noted. ,
While there is considerable
fishing in the international
waters Of the Caribbean, Mr..
White observed, 1--WE are also
aware that such ports might be
used for naval vessels of various
kinds"

Mai. Cooper's backup - blazed
the trail with a 15-minute sub
orbital space journey in May,
1861. Virgil I. (Gus) Grissom
followed the same course. John
H. Glenn. jr., and Malcolm
Scott Carpenter made three-or-
bit flights earlier this year be-
fore Comdr. Schirra went aloft.
The seventh Mercury pilot,
Donald K. (Deke) Slayton, has

Gemini Is Next
If all goes well, Mai. Coo
per's 18-orbit mission may wind
UP the Mercury program. How
ever, officials said there Is a
good possibility a second full
day flight may be scheduled be-
fore the Gemini program starts
in 1864.
The two-man Gemini cap
sule, boosted aloft by the IT.
tan-2 rocket now being de-
veloped, will remain in orbit
for periods up to two weeks
and practice rendezvous mis-
Sions with other orbiting satel-
ntes.
The National Aeronautics and
Space Administration recently
named q group of nine new as
tronauts to join with the Mer-
curry pilots in the Gemini pro-
gram. Many of them will move
on to the Apollo moon land
ing program. The plan is to
launch a three-man Apollo ship
around the moon with Saturn
