Both Moscow and Picking
have been taking UP positions
with all the precision Of dane
erS in q minuet.
Mr.. Khrushchev singled out
Mr.. Pan for ostentatious at
tention at q Moscow reception.
He publicly pledged the eternal
brotherhood" of the Soviet
Union and Communist China.
Then Pravda printed a long
editorial which, as the Chinese
had done previously, deplored
the publicity surrounding the
dispute. It said the Soviet Com
munist Party would meet pri-
vately with any fraternal party
no matter what quarrels lay
between them. Such a meeting,
Pravda said, could then be
followed by an international
session of the world Communist
movement.
The Picking Peoples Daily,
organ Of the Chinese Party,
then printed without comment
the harsh Soviet criticism Of
Communist China's "hard-line"
policy. It also ran Pravda's
suggestion for a meeting but
with more emphasis upon the
multination gathering.
This was apparently setting
the scene for some imminent
development, since 1t is not
Communist practice to let the
readers In on someone else's

the truth about the differences

CUBA
Senators WrongIe
On Red Base Policy

Ian invasion Of Cuba. We have
never advocated an invasion
since the President lost that
one"
Senator Scott went on to
urge an ultimatum to the Rus
slams to get their troops out Of
Cuba. He said the Unite d
States should get its Latin
American neighbors to join in
a total Western hemisphere
blockade" of Cuba.
Senator Dirksen's decision to
push ahead with the Bay Of
Pigs inquiry was in line with
his reported warning to Presi-
dent Kennedy last week that
Republicans intend to continue
to "pummel" him about Cuba.
AS for Senator SCOTS sugges-
ton that the United States get
its Latin American neighbors to
join In q hemisphere blockade
of Cuba, the chairman of the
Organization Of American
states said last night he
thought the OSA would support
another blockade.
GAS Chairman Gonzalo J.,
Facio noted that the organiza-
ton voted unanimously last
october to support the United
States quarantine on offensive
arms shipments to Cuba.
He said the GAS could take
defensive action" against Cuba
but the United States is the
only one which can Judge when
to take (direct) action" He
added, "In matters of cold war
the GAS can only play a
secondary role" Mr.. Facio ex-
pressed his views in a televi-
sion interview (NBC-Meet the
Press.
Labor Council Concerned
In Miami Beach, the ALL
CLIO executive council called for
an end to partisan political
criticism" Of President Kenne-
dy's policies in dealing with
Cuba.
The council released a state
ment yesterday saying valid ex-
change Of opinions is part Of
the democratic process but "the
intense partisanship injected
into the debate over Cuba by
some opponents Of the admin
istration" had to be viewed
with concern.
The councils statement
urged bipartisan support for
Mr.. Kennedy's courageous and
capable" foreign policy leader
ship and said his pressure on
Moscow to withdraw Soviet
troops from Cuba has begun
to show results.

Rehabilitation
Record Set
BY the Associated Press

A record 1l0,136 disabled
men and women repeatedly
have been rehabilitated into
productive jobs during the year
ended June 80.
Miss Mary E. Switzer, Com
missioner of Vocational Reha-
Utilization, said yesterday, the
previous record for the
Federal-State program was
102.377 persons rehabilitated
during the year ended June 80
1862.
She added that the 1925
achievement marked the eighth
consecutive fiscal year in which
there was a new record set for
rehabilitations.
About 10000 of the benefi-
Charles had been receiving pub
lie assistance payments or were
residing in unsupported pub
lie institutions, Miss S witzer
said. The support Of about
14,700 public assistance recipi-
ents alone was costing an es-
timated SIC million a year.
Conversion Of these 14,700
from tax consumers to produc-
tive citizens through rehabili-
tation, which costs about $19
million in a one-time outlay,
will save many millions Of
dollars in Federal and state
assistance funds, Miss Switzer
said.

tainty over what is going to

was illustrated when former
President Eisenhower licked off
last week the names of a dozen
men he said would make good
candidates.
Eisenhower List
This seemed to mean that
members of the Eisenhower
wing of the party-who mostly
aren't favorable to Senator
Goldwater and who appear to
be disillusioned with Gov.
Rockefeller since his remar-
r4age-can't expect much help
from the General in getting
together on a candidate of
their own.
The Eisenhower list included
such familiar names as Sen
ator Goldwater, Gov. Rookie
Teller, Senator Morton, Cows,
George Romney of Michigan,
William w. Scranton Of Penn
sylvania and Mark o. Hatfield
Of Oregon, Representative
Ford, Republican Of Michigan,
and Gen. Lucius Clay.
But Gen. Eisenhower added
some others not previously
given much consideration. They
were Cows. John Anderson, jr.,
Of Kansas and John A. Love OF
Colorado, as well as Gen. Lauris
Norstad, former NATO COM
mander, and Gabriel Hauge, a
former economic adviser in the
Republican administration.

former Vice President Richard
M. Nixon had told him he
couldn't be considered, not ali

continued to get in their ticks
in an effort to tag Senator
Goldwater with the radical
right" label they believe would
