Soviet Troops Leave Cuba at Very Slow Pace
By the Associated Press

US. sources said today Soviet troops are leaving Cuba at rela- lively slow pace with only two days to go for Premier Khrush- chev to honor his pledge to Pres ident Kennedy that several thou sand' would depart by mid March.
 In Moscow, the Communist party newspaper Pravda said four ships carrying troops had sailed and fifth was loading.
 This is the first time any such departure story has appeared in the Soviet press, indicating a new propaganda build-up.
 Pravda's dispatch from Havana said the jobs of the specialists were finished, and Prime Minister Fidel Castro's government had agreed that the Soviet experts could go home.
 US. experts in Washington esti- mated there were 17,500 Soviet military personnel in Cuba when the withdrawals began. This was 5000 fewer than believed station ed there at the height of the Cuban crisis last October.
 Havana dispatches said 2.OO( sailed on a ship which reporters were forbidden to identify Marcf l. Washington was skeptical of tht figure, but US. officials said i is difficult to count men aboard by aerial reconnaissance.
 Secretary of State Dean Rusl said yesterday the United State will continue to press for mor' troop withdrawals. He said !; complete report" will not b. issued until after the middle of tn, month.
 Rusk also told the National Ad vertising Council there are stil 'some highly dangerous element: in the Cuba situation today"
 He listed them as:
 l. The possibility the Soviets would send offensive weapons back to Cuba. This, he said, would bring on a new crisis far greater than last October's.
 2. Any interference with the daily surveillance of Cuba.
 3. Any Soviet military action against Cubans.
 4. Any forays from Cuba against neighboring countries.

All Woodlands CLOSED
Due To Forest Fire Danger
Cooperation OF
Public Praised
By Fire Chief

Governor A. S. Harrison In
voked the Forest Closure Law
for the first time in history this
week. The existence Of extraor-
dinarily hazardous fire condi-
tons prompted the severe re-
strictions. The law prohibits any
fires within 300 feet of inflam-
mable material. and restricts
use of the woodlands for fishing,
hiking, hunting. etc. There is to
be positively no smoking in the
woods.
Woodworking crews are still
allowed to follow their business,
but they too are prohibited from
smoking or lighting fires. All
others must stay out OF the
woods, unless on official bust
ness.
Farmville district forest fire
chief. Maynard Stoddard, said
this morning that this is a tight
ban, but we need it. The pur-
pose of the law is to protect
life and property" he added.
Fires Jump James
1.-The situation is pretty
rough" Stoddard said. Fires
are burning big and are hard to
bring under control He pointed
to two fires that jumped across
the James River during the past
week; one in Appomattox and
one in Buckingham.
Stoddard said the forest fire
situation has been generally
very good in the Herald cir
culation area, compared with
other areas. He credited people
in this area with being careful
as the main reason for a good
record so far. He also had high
praise for those fighting the
fires.
Buckingham and Appomattox
counties have had a rough time
| OF it, but Amelia, Cumberland
| and Prince Edward have been
very good" Powhatan. in an
other forestry district, has had
a number of fires, but again Co
operation from the public and
hard work by the fire fighters
has held damage to a minimum.
Charlotte has had a rough time
in the past week." Stoddard
said, but actually it hasn't been
too bad"

Program To Be
Farm Bureau Subject

The Virginia Farm Bureau
will meet Monday evening, April
80, at 8 pm. in the main court
room of the Prince Edward
courthouse to discuss the wheat
referendum. The vote on the
1864 program will take place on
May 81.
George |. Shorter, president of
the Prince Edward Farm Blu
reau, invited all interested
farmers to attend the informa-
tory meeting. AL Flory, Farm
Bureau staff member from Rich
mond will lead the discussion.
The Farm Bureau has taken a
position against the proposed
wheat program.
A partial description of the
1864 wheat program, as con
tanned in a pamphlet from the
U. S. Department of Agriculture
is as follows:
marketing quotas for the 1864
wheat crop have been proclaim
ed and May 81, 1868, has been
set as the date of the referen-
dunn.
The referendum is on the
program for one year only
1854.
The proclamation and a ref
erendum are required by law
whenever wheat supplies are eX-
cessive. The law gives the guide
lines as to what are excessive
supplies. In the absence of
marketing quotas, the supply of
wheat for the marketing year
beginning July /, 1864, is esti-
mated at 90 billion bushels. This
would be more than twice as
much as estimated domestic
disappearance and exports.
Wheat growers will choose
between: Cd marketing quotas
with price support at 50 a bushel
or 80 per cent of the normal
production of acreage allotments
and with diversion payments
for acreage taken out of produc-
ton, (2) unlimited acreage with
