Trade Balance

NEW YORK, Feb. 4 (AP).--
A leading banker said today
Britain's failure to gain entry
into the common market could
increase the United States
balance Of payments problem.
United States trade and
balance of payments policies
may be put to sterner tests"
said Mr.. Monroe Kindred. pres
ident of the American Bankers
Association.
In a speech prepared for an
ABA meeting. Mr.. Kimbrel de-
clared that the actions OF
France in blocking Britain's bid
raise other serious questions.
Mr.. Kimbrel also is chairman
of the First National Bank,
Thomson, Ga.
THE split will surely cause
the other five nations (of the
common market) to take a
harder look at new policy deci-
sions," Mr.. Kimbrel said. ma
tionalistic views will again bear
more weight than in the recent
past"
The ABA president guessed
that in the short run any loss
of steam" in the economies Of
common market m e m bers
would tend to weaken our ex-
port markets and make it diff
ficult for the United States to
maintain its trade surplus.
In the long run, he said, an
"inward-looking" common mar
ket. If it developed. might
maintain tariff walls that
could reduce the inflow of
American and British goods.
such a development would
seriously interfere with our OBJ
jective of achieving permanent
balance of payments equili-
brium," Mr.. Kimbrel added.

Steel production during Feb

"Steelmakers are producing

SUMPTION" the Woodworking

Since no one expects con-
sumption to go up sharply In
February, it's apparent that
inventory policies will have a
decisive influence on tn e
amount of steel that's pro-
duced. Since automakers are
the biggest users of steel, their
inventory plans are of over
riding Importance"
Steel said it expected produc-
ton in the week ending Feb
ruary 8 to be slightly higher
than the 1858, 900 tons the in
dustry poured last week, when

Was Mistake Cuba Says
Russia Asks
Damages for
ExiIes' Raid

MOSCOW, Mar. 20 (AP).-
The Soviet Union today de-
manded that the United States
pay damages for a Cuban exile
commando raid that crippled
the Soviet freighter Baku three
days ago.
A note delivered to the United
States Embassy also threatened
to take unspecified measures
to protect Soviet shipping from
attacks by anti Castro guer-
rillas operating in Cuban
waters.
In Washington Lincoln
White, State Department press
officer, called the Soviet de-
mand totally unacceptable. I"
He said the United States
Government was not involved
in the raid.
The United States Govern
ment has said repeatedly it is
doing all it can to discourage
such raids by Cuban exile
groups.
But Moscow's note for
warded to the United States
Embassy here, charged that the
Baku and other attacks on So
Wet vessels ARE not accidental
and isolated actions, but
planned provocations directed
from a single center on United
States territory"
Second Protest This Week
The Soviet note was the sec
ond such protest this week. In
both notes, the Russians ac-
cused the United States Of Civ
ing support to the exiles. To-
days note said on this point:
THE Soviet government has
already called the attention Of
the government Of the United
States of America to the fact
that, without the furnishing
Of American arms and ships
and the provision by the
United States of America Of
other forms Of support to
groups of traitors to the Cuban
people, they could not accomp-
lish their criminal plans"
To this accusation, the semi
official Havana newspaper
Revolution added the charge
today that the commando raid
against the Baku followed an
American reconnaissance mis-
sion over the port of Caibarien
by United States aircraft.
Called Criminal Act
L In a previous incident anti
Castro forces shelled the Soviet
vessel Lgov March II. Moscow
protested this two days ago.

note described the latest attack
