Another Ito Cuban refugees,
many pale from seasickness
after q night on heavy seas,
found asylum today In the
United States.
The American freighter Shir-
ley Lykes brought them to Port
Everglades. the port of Fort
Lauderdale, and to a free way
of life for which they had sac
rificed all their material pos
sessions.
Many were old, in poor con-
dition, and torn by conflicting
emotions. They were happy to
escape from Fidel Castro's
Communist state, but sad to
leave the beautiful island that
was their native land.

who had walked aboard the
ship in Cuba we're taken off on

deliver 1000 tons Of ransom

change for the Bay Of Pigs
captives who we're released Just
before Christmas.

Asks Not 10 Be
ReappOinted
Morgan Indicates
Disenchuntment in
Letter TO Kennedy
BY GRACE BASSETT
Star staff Writer

Vice Chairman Howard Nor
gan Of the Federal Power
Commission has asked Presi-
dent Kennedy not to consider
him for reappointment when
his term expires in June.
In an unusual letter to the
President. Mr.. Morgan left
little doubt that he was dis
enchanted with his Washington
experience.
Named to the commission in
March, 1861, he took office the
following June. Since then, he
has dissented frequently with
the decisions of his four COM
mission colleagues, all of whom
are appointees Of President
Kennedy.
From 1857 to 1859 Mr.. Nor
gan was public utility commits
sioner Of Oregon, which has
the only one-man commission
in the United States with full
regulatory powers over all util-
tiles and forms of transporta-
ton. A native of Tillamook,
Oreg., he is a former member
Of the Oregon House Of Repre-
sentatives and a former chair
man Of the Democratic Party
in Oregon.
Asks Quick Successor
Mr.. Morgan asked the Presi-
dent to nominate a successor
In time to start work when his
own term expires on June %.
In his letter, which White
House Press Secretary Pierre
Salinger declined to release,
Mr.. Morgan said the character
Of presidential appointees more
than reorganization plans
makes or breaks regulation of
powerful oil. electric and gas
interests.
His letter said that the pub
lie interest was abandoned
when regulatory officials fell
victim to "timidity" and "a
desire for personal security"
These are the most "insidious"
influences in a regulatory
agency, he wrote, and ''once
established the hardest to
eradicate"
He said he was offering the |
President the strongest con- !
illusions" produced by his own
regulatory experience. They |
may be Of some small help to
you, to my successors and to
the public interest" he wrote, !
in a single-spaced, three-page |
letter dated January %.
Character, Courage Needed
His conclusions stressed the |
need for appointment of Off /
cials Of character, courage and /
balance. But Mr.. Morgan also /
emphasized that his comments
were general and applied to all |
regulatory agencies.

Cost Of Livinu
Cut by Drop
MOOD Prices
December Decline
To Be Wiped Out
By January Rise
BY the Associated Press

Living costs, as measured by
the Government, declined by
two-tenths of l per cent in
December because of lower food
prices. 1t was the largest de-
cline for any month in four
years.
Reporting this today, Gov
ernment officials cautioned,
however, that the drop will be
wiped out when price data for
January becomes available on
account Of higher food prices
this month due to early winter
crop freezes.
The Labor Department re-
ported that its consumers price
index declined in December to
1853 per cent of the 1957-59
base period.
This is three-tenths Of /
per cent below the record high
of last September and IL per
cent above the December 1861
level. On the former living cost
measurement base of 1947-49
the December index was 1898.
Better Than Normal
Robert j. Myers, deputy labor
statistics commissioner, said
the two-tenths of per cent
decline in December was a
little better than the one
tenth drop usually expected
between November and De-
cember.
Food prices fell by six-tenths
of / per cent, largely because
of price cuts for fresh fruits,
poultry and pork. The adverse
effects of early December crop
freeze conditions, primarily in
Florida, were not reflected in
these price levels, although they
are expected to turn up in
January living costs.
Prices of items other than
food averaged unchanged In
December as a slight decline
in nonfood commodities off,
set an advance in costs of serv-
ices.
Prices of clothing and both
new and used automobiles were
lower. Items showing price
increases in December in
cluded gasoline, heating fuels,
household maintenance, med
ical care and personal care
services.
291,5OO Get Pay Boosts
Despite the December drop,
wage adjustments under labor
contracts based on the Govern
ment index readings over a
period Of months will bring pay
increases of 4 cents an hour for
about 270,000 truck drivers in

Hears Rusk

BY GEORGE SHERMAN
Star staff Writer

AeeA ANNAA WAAeNA
Russia has built an "enor-
mously strong military and po-
litical base in Cuba" during the
last six months, Senator Aiken,
Republican of Vermont, said
today after a briefing by Secre-
tary of State Rusk and Central
Intelligence Agency Director
John A. McCone.
Neither Senator Aiken nor
any other participant in the
--~-~--~----

Press Conference. Poee AS

would discuss what they were
told about Soviet forces in
Cuba.
But Senator Aiken did add
that the magnitude of the Rus
sian buildup 'is much stronger
than thought" and "it is con.
tinuing to grow stronger"
Senator Symington, Demo-
crat of Missouri, who also at
tended the briefing, told news
men that what worries me" is
that there apparently are more
men in what he called "the
Soviet air complex" in Cuba
than he had understood.
Personal Opinions
Like Senator Aiken, Senator
Symington declined to discuss
directly what Mr.. Rusk or Mr..
McCone might have testified,
emphasizing that he spoke my
own opinions"
Senator Symington said he
figured I'VE ought to worry
more about what is in Cuba
now-considerably more than
what it was few months ago."
than about what happened at
the Bay of Pigs.
Senators Symington and
Humphrey of Mfnnesota
stressed the need to forget
about past mistakes in Cuba
and to concentrate on the real
and present danger in the
Caribbean.
Mentions Red Air Personnel
Senator symington said that
he had been particularly inn
pressed with the high percent
age Of Soviet air personnel in
Cuba.
Senator Humphrey said that
the briefing had not revealed
"any evidence of new strength"
beyond that mentioned by Pres
ident Kennedy in his press con-
ference yesterday.
He said that both Mr.. Nc
Cone and Mr.. Rusk told of the
arrival of one Soviet ship since
the missile crisis in October,
and that he presumed 1t car
ried small arms"
He also said that Mr.. Nc
Cone had discussed United
States low-level reconnaissance
flights over Cuba and that ary
new military sites are being
checked out carefully.
Asks Political Truce
Senator Humphrey appealed
for a partisan truce in dealing
with past and future Cuban
policy.
IF Congress indulges itself
in a wholesale inquiry Of the
past" he said. very little new
information will be gained, and
only old sores opened. with
plenty Of blame going to both
Republicans and Democrats"
Speaking to reporters after
the hearing, the chairman of
the subcommittee. Democratic
Senator Morse Of Oregon, said
that the briefing had ex-
hausted" possibilities Of gath
ering information on the build
up.
He said that no further hear
ings on this subject would be
scheduled.
Faith In Intelligence
Senator Morse also said that
In his opinion the American
people ought TO have complete
faith that United States INTEL
ligence is keeping informed on
what Russians or anyone else
are bringing into Cuba"
He said the committee had

The talk turned TO other
