MOSCOW R-Premier KhruSh- chev told newspaper magnate Roy Thomson Saturday that Soviet troops in Cuba are there only to instruct Cubans in advanced Wea- pons.
 Thomson said the Soviet premier told him there need be no concern by the United States about So- viet arms buildup in Cuba.
 Thomson met Khrushchev in the Kremlin for 215 hours, and told newsmen afterward that their dis cussions were most frank an d ranged over many subjects.
 Thomson said he asked how many Soviet troops are in Cuba, and the premier replied he did not know the figure and would have to look it up.
 Thomson said he asked if the Americans should be concerned about reports of a new Soviet arms buildup in Cuba. He said Khrushchev replied:
 Absolutely not"
 Khrushchev indicated, Thomson said, that the German problem was the most crucial problem in the cold war and that with it's settle ment the cold war would largely end.
 Thomson said Khrushchev told him the Communist Chinese are "our friends" and would always

JFK Promises to Study Egan's Proposal For
 Cabinet-Level Dept. of Fisheries, OceanOgraphy

JUNEAU R-Gov. Egan said to- day he has had another exchange of letters with President Kennedy on Egan's recommendation for ere ation of cabinet-level department of fisheries and oceanography.
 Egan said he had suggested to the President that possibilities for development of ocean fisheries are comparable to the value of the landbased agricultural program"
 The governor said he believed that the responsibilities of the De- partment of the Interior are now too broad for it to do justice to the complex problems of fisheries.
 While it is true that the respon- abilities of the Dept. of the In- terior are very broad and encom- pass number of important areas of national concern" Kennedy re- piled, ''it must be recognized that the primary responsibility of the department is to foster conserva- tion of the natural resources of this country, including agriculture.
 ''For this reason, there is con- siderable merit in handling the conservation of lands, inland wat CTS and adjacent ocean waters within one department so that these resources can be studied and their development adequately CO., ordinated."
 Egan said he was aware that several departments of federal gov ernment have an interest in ocean, ographic research, but the gover- nor said he believed an integration of the effort in one agency ''is the only way we will accomplish an efficient, progressive oceanography program"
 Kennedy said Egan's latest ar guments for creation of the new agency, along with arguments ad- vanced earlier, would receive close study.

Igor Cassini Indicted For Failure to Register As
 Publicity Man for Truiillo

WASHINGTON R - DebOnair Igor Cassini, who writes of the smart set under the name "Cholly Knickerbocker," has been indicted on charges of failing to register as publicity agent for the Dom- inican regime of the late Rafael Trujillo.
 The 47-year-old society colum- mist, younger brother of Mrs. John F. Kennedy's dress designer, Oleg Cassini, labeled the charge untrue.
 T am confident I will be cleared of this technical charge of non- registration" he said.
 The Justice Department said a federal grand jury, Investigating Dominican lobbying in the United States, returned four-count in- dictment against Cassini Friday.
 A department spokesman said the jury accused Cassini of sharing fees of almost $2OO,0OO for spread ing political propaganda" to inn prove the tarnished image of the Trujino government.
 The period covered in the in- dlctment Is from June 1859 to November 1861. Dictator Trujillo was assasSinated in May 1861. Cassini runs a Park Avenue pub ilc relations firm, Martial & Co.,, Tn New York City.

RevenOOers Declare War After MOOnshiners Open Fire On Agents Cars
NEW PORT, Tenn. LR

NEW PORT, Tenn. R, - "The revenue officers comin' :. gonna tear yo' still house down."
 This refrain from the mountain ballad "Darlin' Corey" might we'll have been written about Cooke County, which Alcohol Tax Unit agents call the moonshine capital of the world. And this time the "revenooers" are coming with vengeance. The code of the hills has been broken.
 Sheriff Kin Holt says he ordin- arily is not interested in raiding or cutting" stills, as he calls it, but when moonshiners shoot at revenue men, that's another mat ter.
 State and federal agents moved into the county's hill country-43 miles east of Knoxville-en masse this week after moonshiners open ed up on two state revenue de- partment agents with rifle fire. Since then 75 state and federal agents have broken up 40 stills and poured 12,500 gallons of good corn mash out on the ground.
 The excitement stems from rifle fire at the ATU agents car. Eight bullet holes were found in the vehicle.
 Nobody was hurt, but this broke the unwritten code of the hills, which says revenuers and moon- sinners don't shoot at each other.

Two mighy superfreeways

variously called the East Leg

the third route to Baltimore.

With 'BIowbys'

Automobile manufacturers
painfully aware of criticism
that exhaust gases contribute to
smog, have equipped all 1863
cars and trucks with "blowby'
devices.
Known formally in the in
dustry as positive crankcase
ventilation systems" these
gadgets are designed TO cut
down on the amount Of un-
burned vapor that reaches the
atmosphere.
The blowby device recircu-
lates unburned vapors which
have slipped past the pistons
into the crankcase until most
Of the hydrocarbons have been
consumed.
Blowbys have been required
since 1861 on all vehicles in
California. where smog is a

The important observation to
be made regarding trends in

the United States is that an
automobile today often Is not
simply transportation; 1t is
usually specialized transporta-
ton - to work. for shopping,
travelling. or just driving for
pleasure. The present trend
toward variety is strong. and
this means a great many mod

Public demand and industry
competition have brought
about many changes In the
1868 models.
Engines
The 1868 passenger-car en-
gines are bigger. more efficient
and capable Of the highest per-
formance in history. Walls Of
cast-iron engines are thinner,
thus reducing weight. Combus-
ton chambers are more eff
cient. Engineers have taken
important steps TO damp out
vibration. make engines run
more smoothly and decrease
the amount OF attention an
engine requires. Alternators
have replaced DC generators on
nearly all cars.
Other improvements through

Such fancy styling might

Institute cites the replacement
cost of win dshields, for in
stance: One model costs $l8,
another $225.
The higher price is for a spe-
cial wraparound design popu-
lar a few years ago. 1t was
partially the cause of a SO sur
charge on insurance costs for
cars with wraparounds.
This surcharge still exists,
although the number of wrap

Very few of them are offered

Plenty Of other problem s
have arisen to take their place,
however. says the institute.
Said a spokesman:
while the new models may
be more glamorous, the under

lines, sweeping concave win

higher repair and replacement
costs and consequently higher
automobile insurance rates.
Any rate increase would not
