Cuban Exile Leader
 Accuses United States of Violating Its Promises

MIAMI R-Cuban Revolution ary Council president Jose Miro Cardona accused the United States today of unleashing against his reputation "a violent campaign without parallel in the history of this great nation.'
 By this action, Miro said, the State Department violates an- other of it's promises"
 The exile leader said the State Dept. had asked him not to make public a document detailing his relations with the U. s. govern ment. This request, Miro said, was in order that "the crisis created could be solved in a short period"
 Miro referred to "crisis" in relations between the Council and the US. government. Nine days have passed since the request was made, Miro said, and he charged that instead of solving the crisis, the State Dept. heaped abuse on him. "I shall feel free to make public the document" he declared.
 q have been placed in a situa- tion where I have to defend my self, and shall do it by replying to all the charges imputed agains me-"
 The anti Castro leaders state ments came on the second ami versary of the U.S.-endorsed Ba of Pigs invasion, smashed by Fid, Castro's army.
 In observance of the annive sary, the council deferred until t
 morrow night a meeting to act (
 the "crisis."

Soviet Concert Pianist Asks Asylum In Britain

LONDON R - Vladimir Ash kenazy, the Soviet Unions leading young concert pianist, and his wife were hiding somewhere in Eng land today after announcing they had left the U.S.SR. indefinitely to live in Britain.
 The 25-year-old pianist insisted he was not seeking political asy- lum, saying, "I am a Russian and I love my country" But the inn pression here was that he had de- fected, as Leningrad ballet star Ru- dolf Nureyev did in Paris in 1861.
 Ashkanazy, who is Jewish, came to Britain on a concert tour last month and brought his wife and year-old son, Vladimir He said the Soviet government had given him permission for an indefinite stay but he turned to British author ities because we did not know when the Russian permission al- lowing us to stay in England might be revoked"
 The Home Office said Ashkan- azy's wife, Dodie, a native of Ice land, was resident of Britain for IT years before she married and had asked to be allowed to take up residence in Britain again. A spokesman said this was granted and, in accordance with normal custom, the same privilege was ex- tended to her husband.
 Ashkanazy's position amongl young Soviet pianists was under lined last year when the Soviet government picked him to enter the second Tchiakovsky competi- ton. The first Tchaikovsky prize was won in 1858 by an American, Van Cliburn, and the Russians wanted a Russian to get it. Ash kanazy divided the first prize with John Ogden, Briton.

Steel Price Rises Sweep Industry
By JACK LEFLER

NEW YORK R-Selective steel price rises all but completed a sweep through the industry today.
 The nations seven largest pro- ducers had fallen into line, and after t h m tumbled a growing stream of large and small steel makers.
 Rounding out the top seven to- day were Bethlehem Steel Co.,, Ma tional Steel Corp, and Youngs- town Sheet & Tube Co.,, second, fifth and seventh ranking firms.
 Their announcements came less than 24 hours after the dam broke when US. Steel Corp, industry giant, posted markups after sev- eral days of hesitation.
 Despite me variations, the Bethlehem and National markups held to the general pattern set previously, corresponding closely with those posted yesterday by US. Steel which were the lowest of those announced so far, aver aging $4.85 a ton.
 Big Steep and the other com. panies cited five rises in labo, costs since 1858, when the last gen eral steel price increase came.
 Earnings have dropped sub stantially, dividends have been re duced and employment has de clined," US. Steel president Lesli B. Worthington said.

Hard to Prove Poaching Of
 Boring Halibut

VANCOUVER, B.C. R-Canada knows Japanese and Russian fleets are poaching halibut in the eastern Boring Sea, an official said today.
 But it is impossible to prove it, said R.. T. Hagar, of the Interna- tional North Pacific Fisheries Com mission.
 "It's not just the Japanese who are guilty. The Soviets have been taking millions of pounds of fish out of the area"
 Hager said the situation will get worse unless the existing treaty between Canada, United States and Japan is re-negotiated or new one signed.
 Without some law, every coun- try in the world will be fishing 12 months of the year to the three mile limit off our shores"
 Patrol boats have found it inn possible to catch the foreign fleets because they cut their lines or take other maneuvers, said Hager.
 BIC. fishermen are meanwhile unhappy with a recommendation by the Fisheries Commission to let Japanese boats take halibut in the eastern Boring.
 "Yet not one in 1000 of them has even bothered to read the treaty" he said. 'eThey are mostly bothered by the smokescreen put out by their own union. And that policy seems to be: Hate the US; to hell with the Japs but never mention the Soviets.'

Pro Football Greats
 Suspended for Betting
By JACK HAND

Associated Press Sports Writsr NEW YORK R Paul Hornung
 of the Green Bay Packers and Alex Karras of the Detroit Lions
 were suspended indefinitely by the National Football League to-
 day.
 Five other Detroit players were
 fined $2,OOO each and the Detroit
 club was fined $4,OOO as result
 of an investigation into pro foot ball betting.
 Commissioner Pete Rozel1e su- perviSed the investigation and an- nounced the findings at a news conference in his office.
 Rozelle said Horuing, the lea gue's most valuable player in 1861 with the champion Packers but hobbled by injuries during most of the 1862 season, had placed bets on MEL and college games in some instances reaching the sum of $500, from 1859 through 1861. Rozelle said Hornung also had transmitted specific information concerning MEL games for betting purposes. The commissioner said this con- stituted serious breaches of the players contract and the leagues bylaws and constitution which forbid betting on games. He is a halfback.
 Karras, the 25O-pound defensive tackle of the Lions, who said in a television interview he bet on games but only for cigarettes and cigars, was judged guilty of asso- ciating with individuals described by Detroit police as "known hood lumS"
 Rozelle said there was no evil dence of any criminal wrongdoing or any evidence that Karras sold information for betting purposes or ever bet against his own team.

PORTSMOUTH, N. H. R = A Navy court of inquiry has cited It. Cmdr. Stanley w. Hecker, skipper of the submarine escort vessel Skylark, for what it called his failure of report the last messages from the ill fated submarine Thresher ''for an unreasonable length of time"

 The Skylark was accompanying the nuclear submarine when it made its fatal dive.
 The court said Hecker's conduct as the Skylark's commanding off cer appears to be subject to in- quiry," but emphasized he is not blamed for the loss of the sub.
 Rear Adm. Lawson P. Ramage, deputy commander of the Atlantic Fleet Submarine Force and the in- itial commander of the search eff fort, testified he did not learn for a few days that Thresher had in dicated the possibility of trouble.
 It. James c. Watson, 43, Heck CTS navigator on Skylark, testified before the inquiry board that the last distinguishable message from Thresher to Skylark was: "Ex- periencing minor difficulty. Have positive up angle. Trying to blow"
