In the Joint meeting Of the
presidents behind closed doors
during most Of Tuesday, Mr.,
Kennedy is also expected to
throw general approval behind
Central American requests for
technical aid and export COM
modify price supports to
strengthen the budding Central
American common market.
But no firm indication has
been received here yet that he
intends to meet the various
specific requests for Million
dollar aid.
Kennedy to See Presidents
on Wednesday. the United
States President switches from
the collective meeting to In
dividual half-hour chats with
each Of the six chief executives.
First viii come host President
Francisco Orlich, followed by
President Julio Adalberto Rivera
Of Ell Salvador, President Miguel
Ydigoras Fuentes Of Guatemala.
President Jose Ramon Villeda
Morales Of Honduras, President
Luis Somoza Of Nicaragua and
its president-elect, Rene Schick.
and President Roberto CHAR
Of Panama.
These are the six presidents
who feel themselves most d.
rectly threatened by Castro
Cuban subversion and propa-
.gands. All indications are they
will forcefully present their
fears to the North American
President both in Joint and
private meetings.
But the question still remains,
what can be done about Cuban
Communism beyond Just angry
talk.
With the United States In
the lead, the consensus appears
to have crystalized prior to the
summit against forming any
regional Caribbean defense pact
that would bypass a larger
inter-American system formed
by the Organization of Ameri-
can States.
For that reason, Central
American migration is con-
sidered to be a safer topic
one on which practical results
and be registered.

jor disruption to the park, the
spokesman said.
Smaller interchanges or
elimination Of some ramps
could make 1t possible to avoid
tearing down the steep for
ested slopes Of the park. The
present four-lane parkway at
the bottom Of the Spout Run
ravine could be left as a four
lane roadway, rebuilt to with
stand heavier traffic, or could
be widened 10 six lanes, the
spokesman said.
The compromise could also
remove some Of the recent OBJ
jections to the Three Sisters
bridge by Senator Douglas,
Democrat Of Illinois. Senator
Douglas appealed to President
Kennedy to prevent the bridge
because Of the potential dam
age to Spout Run Park.
Truck Traffic Discounted
The forecasts for Route 266
show that only a small per-
centage Of traffic using the
route and the bridge will be
trucks, and this is overrated as
an objection to the route, the
spokesman said.
The compromise first came
up when the planning commits
sioners considered a bill by
Senator Mansfield, Democrat
of Montana, which would take
the Glover-Archold right-of-
way from the District.
The Mansfield bill was
passed by the Senate last year,
but failed in the House. The
compromise might make the
bill more acceptable to the
House this Congress, the
spokesman said.
The compromise also would
allow the Potomac River Free
way to qualify for interstate
financing. The possible bottle
neck at Theodore Roosevelt
and Memorial bridges would be
eased by the additional bridge
crossing at Three Sisters, the
spokesman said.

Reds Charge Trawler Attack
The most recent tension
breeding incident betwc1 Rus
STA and the United States arose
over tn activities of a Soviet
trawler or fishing vessel in the
Atlantic off Norfolk, Va, on
March 8.
Russia protested last Tues
day that United States naval
vessels had fired dummy shells
near the trawler. In a reply
sent to Moscow Thursday
night, the United States fatty
denied the alleged firing.
The most extensive use of
aircraft for reconnaissance in
recel.t years is that of the
United States over Cuba. United

The skeptics also declared
that the dark glasses and WIDE
brimmed hat description wa
too melodramatic.
But the three Prince Georges
County delegates came to Mr.
Mitchell's defense.
Among many lawmakerI
questioned privately, the only
one besides Mr.. Mitchell who
said he had ever received a
direct offer Of money on legis'
Ilation was the Prince George;
delegate who said he received
the $4,000 offer on pinbalI
legislation.
1861 Struggle Recalled
Last week wasn't the first
time the Maryland Legislature
found itself In orbit over lobby
ing tactics. The last time was
in 1861 when savings and loan
interests, some of whom were
in the Legislature, were fight
ing tooth and nail against
regulation Of their private
business interests.
And like that time, the high
pressure lobbying may backfire
and result in passage OF the
legislation.
Until last Wednesday. the
Governors bill appeared to
have smooth sailing through
the House Of Delegates. AS
originally drafted it would
have abolished slot machines
over a three-year period. The
House judiciary Committee ex-
tended this to five years and
Gov. Tawes said he would &c
along with that in order tc
get the bill through.
Big Switch Of Voters
In preliminary skirmishinG
on the House floor, the dele
gates from the slot machin:
counties, who opposed the bill
were decisively beaten. In a KEY
vote, the Governors bill re-
ceived SO votes, 81 more thar
a majority of the House mem.
bership.
But Wednesday night, after
the Statehouse had swarmec
with slot machine interests fol
| two days the Governors forces
were able to muster only 70
votes, two short of the neces-
sary majority.
The big switch of votes was
in the Baltimore City and
Baltimore County delegations
One of the rumors current In
the Statehouse is that the
switch of city votes came after
one of Baltimore's political
bosses made a trip to Anna
polls.
Administration leaders sue
ceeded Friday in having the bill
Ireconsidered. The final vote
will come Monday.
Outcome Is Questionable
Mr.. Mitchell's bombshell
seems likely to have the effect
of swinging more votes int
the Governors column. A few
delegates, who either voteC
against the bill Wednesday Of
didn't vote at all, said yester.
day they will vote for it Mon
day.
Several lawmakers said a lot
Of delegates may be afraid tC
vote against the bill now fol
fear of being tagged with
charges of payoffs. But a few
said the Mitchell disclosure
may produce an opposite eff
feet. that some lawmakers
might feel they we're being
forced into voting for a bill
they don't like.
Whatever the outcome, the
general feeling In Annapolis
like 1t was after the savings
and loan fight, is that Mary
land has got another black eye
and the Democratic Party which
controls the State government
has given the Republicans an.
other campaign issue for 1865.

generalities about cutting tho
budget. and has challenged his
Republican critics to specify how
and where they propose to make
reductions.
Mr., Plumley issued the
Chambers item-by-item recon.
mendations. drafted by II CON-
mittees and the organization's
board, and said this program
is entirely different from meat
axing" the budget.
He also disputed the admin
istration's contention that deer
budget cuts would increase the
risk Of a recession by curtail-
ing purchasing power. Mr.
Plumley said big budget deficits
raise the fear Of initiation and
discourage business from ex-
panding.
THE best economic, conf
dence-restoring medicine which
we can now take is simply TO
spend nothing we don't have to
spend" he said.
Proposals Detailed
Detailed recommendation
were In terms of cutting SOL
billion out Of Mr.. Kennedy's
requests for $107.9 billion Of new
educational authority for fiscal
1864, the year starting next
July l. New obligational au-
thority-mainly appropriations
voted by Congress - provides
funds for spending over sew
eral fiscal years.
The Chamber has proposed
bigger tax cuts in fiscal 1854
than Mr.. Kennedy has recon-
mended for the first stage of his
three-yar tax program. Mr..
Plumley said he did not know
whether the Chambers total
program = tax reductions and
spending cuts would produce
a smaller or larger budget def
icit than the $1l.9 billion of
red ink estimated by the Presi-
dent.
Most Of the Chambers lit
recommendations for budget
cuts were detailed, but there
was only a general statement
about the $40 billion reduction
proposed in the $52.2 billion
total for defense.
This sum could be saved, the
Chamber said. by pulling the
Defense Department out of o.
600 commercial and Industrial
activities, improving Indignation
OF supply systems, closing un-
needed installations kept open
because Of ''pressures," stopping
use OF defense contracts for So
cial and economic purposes, and
employing civilians to do many
jobs now performed by military
personnel.
Alliance Fund Hit
The s1.3 billion reduction
proposed in the administra-
TONS SAT- billion foreign aid
request included cuts of $500
million for the Alliance for
Progress. $3.50 million in mill
tary aid, $34S million in the
development loan revolving
fund and 5000 million in the
contingency fund.
All the Presidents s1.2 bill
lion request for a new aid-to-
education program should be
denied, the Chamber said, be-
cause the program would lead
to Federal domination" of ed
ucation.
Another $1.2 billion would be
saved by cutting the $50 bill
lion request for the National
Aeronautics and Space A mimi
stration. The Chamber said its
proposal would permit a Is per
cent increase over fiscal 1868,
and expressed doubt that NASA
could handle the go per cent
