Cuba Warning

KEY WEST, Fla, Mar. Is
(AP).-The Cuban government
warned the Uruguayan Embassy
in Havana today to surrender
arms or be considered in viola
ton of the right Of asylum,
Havana Radio reported.
The broadcast, monitored
here, said Ayala Cabeda, head
Of the Embassy, was told to re-
turn the guns carried by four
Cubans who tried to force their
way past Castro guards Thurs
day to seek asylum in the En-
bassy.
One of the four, Jose An
tomb Lazo, was killed. Obdulio
Cruz Arocha was wounded and
two others were uninjured,
They we're Luis Gusman VAL
DIES and Antonio Boix Aguilar
All were identified as counter
revolutionaries.
The radio did not say wheth-
er the three survivors gained
asylum at the Embassy.
The shooting incident was
expected to strain relations be-
tween Cuba and Uruguay, one
Of five Latin American coun-
tries which maintain diplo-
matte ties with Premier Castro's
Communist regime.
Last December 8, Castro
guards shot to death an anti
Castro Cuban they said tried
to gain asylum in the EN-
bassy by crashing a motorcycle
through the guarded barricade.
Without comment, the broad
cast said an autopsy on the
dead man, Antonio Lazo, was
performed Friday. The radio
said delivery of the body had
been delayed due to the diff
cult at the Embassy.
There was no elaboration on
the so called difficulty"

THE advantages in having
Cubans and Latins take the
lead is that this procedure does
not back Khrushchev into a
corner with a specific United
States challenge or direct con-
formation. No one knows to
what extent the Soviet leader
can be pushed before, in light
of his difficulties at home and
the belligerency Of his Red

must respond militarily to a
C h allenge. This procedure

Senator Smathers also de-
plored efforts to make the Gu

and reminded critics of the
Kennedy administration that
this problem was inherited
from the previous administra-

He said both Democrats and
Republicans have made mis-

we put patriotism before par
tisanship and realized that this
is not the problem Of any po-

grave national concern.
In a related development,
Senator Sparkman, Democrat
of Alabama, called for a COM
plete disclosure of the story of
the four Alabama men enlisted
as flyers in the Inflated Bay
of Pigs invasion.
In a broadcast prepared for
Alabama radio stations, the
Senator said one reason why
speculation about this incident
has continued is because the

Senator Smathers, Democrat
Of Florida, has revived his pro-
posal that the United States
recognize a Cuban government
in exile, which could work with
other Latin American countries
to free Cuba from Castroism.
In a speech in the Senate
yesterday, Senator Smathers
sought to overcome the criti-
cism that it would be impos-
sible for the various factions of
Cubans to agree upon a leader
for such a government.
Urges Poll by Mail
He pointed out that the I'm
migration and Naturalization
Service has the address of ev-
cry Cuban in this country and
Puerto Rico. and added:

to carry out a poll by mail. sim
liar to our absentee balloting
system, which in my opinion
would provide the most demo-
cratic method possible Of de-
termining who should head an
exiled government"
He predicted that several
Latin-American nations would
be willing to have the exiled
government located on their
soil and emphasized that it
would exist only until elections
could be held in a free Cuba.
"Once established" the Sem
ator continued, "the Cuban
government would be free to
direct propaganda toward its
homeland, increasing the pos

Korea Bans All Politics
Pending Vote on Junto

SEOUL, South Korea, Mar
is (AP).-South Korea's ruling
military junta suspended all
political activities today and
imposed a sweeping restriction
on freedom of speech.
The junta proclaimed a law
banning political parties and
individuals from making re-
marks in the nature of "polit-
ical agitation" through the
press.
Political agitation" was not
defined but it was interpreted
to mean remarks against the
military rule.
Military Strongman Gen
Chung Hee Park, chairman OF
the junta, called the action
temporary. 1t might be lifted,
he said. depending on the out
come Of a proposed referendum
to decide whether the junta
should continu its rule for an
other four years.
No date was set for the ma
tion-wide voting, but it is ex-
pected in about a month. In a
nationwide television and radio
speech, Gen. Park said the vote
will be held "as soon as pos
sible."
Political activity, banned
when Premier John M. Chang
was ousted by the military in
May. 1861, was resumed jan
uary /. Since then many small
parties have sprung up.
Gen. Park warned In his
speech that the junta would
suspend political activit.'.
Measures will be taken Ia
suspend temporarily all politi-
cal activities since they might
hinder proper judgment Of the
people," he said.

AdouIa Foes
Win in Congo

LEOPOLDVILLE, the Congo,
Mar. Is Cap Premier Cyrille
Adoula's enemies struck a blow
at his regime yesterday. electing
a full slate of antigovernment
,officers for the Lower House of
Parliament.
Government candidates went
down under heavy opposition
majorfties. Political quarters
interpreted ME-. Adoula's defeat
as a serious danger to his
government.
The opposition came from all
points of the political spectrum,
from the left to the secession
list right. Thus. some govern
ment supporters argued that
the vote did not necessarily
mean blanket { position to Mr..
Adoula ana his middle-course
policies.
They said opposition votes
were inspired by a desire to
get rid of some ministers. Be-
fore Mr.. Adoula sent Parlia-
ment home last year, members
succeeded in forcing two min
listers to resign.
Elected president or speaker
was Joseph Midiburo. He was
jailed for two months last fall
on suspicion of trying to set up
a separatist state in Kivu, with
the backing of President Noise
Tshombe of secessionist Ka-
tanga Province. Mr.. Midiburo
beat Thaddee Domba, the
Adoula candidate, 63-42.
Elected second vice president
was Francios Fumu Tamuso,
who was a minister of the
jailed Antoine Gizenga's Com
munist-backed secessionist re-
gime in 1861. Mr.. Tamuso won
by a 70-2s vote margin.
Political sources said Mr..
Adoula now must reshuffle his
cabinet to win wider political
support or dissolve Parliament.
Irinically, the Premier's old
foe, Mr.. Tshombe, may hold the
key.
Most of Mr.. Tshombe's Coma
kat Party members of Parlia-
ment have yet to arrive. They
we're reported demanding as a
price for support the key min
istries Of finance, economic af-
fairs and foreign trade.

Britain Insure
0fFrench Snub

LONDON. Mar, l6 (AP).-
The British pondered today
wether a spurned luncheon
Invitation means new tension
between London and Paris.
Foreign Minister Maurice
Couve de Murville of France
declined an invitation to lunch
next Wednesday with Foreign
Secretary Lord Home in Paris.
A prior engagement stood in
the way, Mr.. Couve de Murville
said.
Aides here reported, however
that Lord Home does not yet
feel snubbed. They said the
British statesman feels Mr..
Couve de Murville still has a
chance to +, suggest another
meeting later in the day.
1T is normal for a visiting
foreign minister 10 be received
by his colleague when In an
other capital" one official
said. "If Couve de Murville does
not arrange to see Lord Home
1t would inevitably be seen as a
rebuff. However, we would not
feel specially piqued. I believe
people would consider this to
be the problem of the French. "
This fragment of personal
diplomacy between the once
close allies underlines the chilly
state of British-French rela-
tons today. Mr.. Couve de
Murville's rundown Of Lord
Homes invitation came on the
day Of the Lawrence Of Ara
bia" film premiere in Paris
which Princess Margaret was
to have attended. The Mac
milan government vetoed her
journey because she was to
have met President de Gaulle,
who is not the favorite for
eigner Of the British people
since he barred this country's
admission into the European
Common Market.
Lord Home is going to Paris
for two days next week. pri-
marily to address the perma-
nent council Of the North At
lantic Treaty Organization on
the dangers which continued
disunity would pose for the
alliance. He had hoped his
Paris trip would be an occa-
sion to resume contacts with
French leaders. But no move
came from them after his visit
was announced.
