MOSCOW, Sept. 10 (AP).-
The Soviet government de-
clared today that because Of al
legged collusion between France
and West Germany there is an
imperative need" for a Ger
man peace treaty that would
solve the Berlin problem.
A government statement dis
tributed by official news agency
Tass said the urgency of the
situation has been heightened
by French President de Gaulle's
recent visit with West German
Chancellor Adenauer.
The statement said that if
the Western powers do not
agree to a German peace
treaty. the Soviet Union will
sign a separate treaty with
East Germany. No date was
mentioned.
The Soviet statement was the
second issued through Tass on
Berlin in two days.

Castro Plans
Navy Base on
North Coast
BY FRED s. HOFFMAN
Associated Press staff Writer

GUANTANAMO NAVAL
BASE, Cuba, Sept. 18.-Sources
in contact with the Cuban un-
derground say information they
have received may indicate a
move by the Castro government
to build a naval base on Cuba s
north coast.
These sources said that for
the past several weeks the
Cuban government has been
removing families from an area
near q town called Banes-an
area said to feature a pro-
tected bay.
The Banes area Is about 20
miles northwest Of Guantan-
amo Bay.
Cuba doesn't have much of
a navy, but President Kennedy
announced recently that the
Russians have been sending
missile-armed torpedo boats
to Cuba.
Russians Near Santiago
Reports Of the activity on
the north coast came through
sources which Navy officers at
this base said have proved re-
liable in the past.
These sources also said they
had received information that
Russians and Czechs have ap-
peared in some numbers in
Eastern Cuba and have been
seen living in camps near San
tiago, about so miles from
Guantanamo.
Cubans who work on this
base but live in Fidel Castro's
territory told Of increasing
food shortages, rising prices
and a thriving black market
here.
A report was that Prime
Minister Castro may start
rationing bread. Other i'm
portant foods, including meat
and milk, already are tightly
rationed.
One Cuban worker said his
family of four was limited &c
four small cans of condensed
milk q month-about half its
previous skimpy ration Of seven
cans a month.
Workers HaraSsed
The more than 5000 Cubans
who pass daily through the
gates of this base are ostra-
cized by pro-Castro Cubans and
subject to constant harass-
ment.
Just yesterday, workers re-
turning to their jobs after the
week end were given an un-
usually stiff shakedown by
Cuban soldiers stationed out
side one of Guantanamo's main
gates.
A number of the workers re-
portedly were hustled into
guardrooms and made to strip
while soldiers searched their
clothing.
Mr.. Castro allows these
Cubans to continue working for
the Americans because he needs
the IS million they bring back
over a years time.
