$358 Million Contract For BOeing Dyna-SOar Project

SEATTLE R-The Boeing Co. has been given $358, ,O76,923 con- tract by the Air Force for the de- sign, manufacture and testing of the Dyna Soar manned glider, Washington's senators said.
 Sens. Warren G. Magnuson and Henry M. Jackson reported from the nations capital the award de- fines the cost of the glider DOT ton of the program through its completion late this decade. Boe- ing has been working on 1t more than year.
 The senators said the contract covers air-drop tests from B52 mother ship" and orbital flights expected to begin 1865.
 A separate contract with the Martin Marietta Corp. will cover the booster phase of the Dyna- Soar project. The delta winged glider will be hurled aloft by a Titan III rocket built by Martin.
 Magnuson and Jackson said the Boeing contract does not preclude the possible cutback or scrapping of Dyna-Soar by Defense Secre- tary Robert McNamara.
 McNamara has begun review of the Dyna-Soar program to deter mine if it duplicates much of the research work planned for the Ma tional Space Agency's two-man Gemini project.
 He recently visited the Boeing plant here and at NASA's Manned Space Center at Houston, Tex. Pentagon sources said a decision might be as much as six months away, however.

US. Tries to Discourage Hit-and-Run Raids on Cuba

WASHINGTON R - The FBI, the US. Coast Guard and other agencies are doing all possible to discourage hit-and-run raids by Cuban refugees on Castro's Cuba, officials said yesterday.
 They said this is in line with the policy of President Kennedy. While he has repeatedly expressed a desire to see Cuba freed of Con- munism, Kennedy said he did not believe the hit-run tactics are ef- fective toward this end. They may even strengthen Prime Minister Fidel Castro, he said.
 Some concern is expressed in high administration circles that the free lance raids, if continued might prove the spark that would set off new, explosive crisis in U.S.-Soviet relations.
 Moscow charged the United States was responsible for "pirati- cal attacks"

of freedom in agriculture. The
question goes much further than
simply wheat acreage allot-
