BUENOS AIRES Nov. l6
(AP).-Argentina last night
ignored a United States warm
ing Of possible serious conse-
quences and annulled its multi
million dollar oil contracts with
eight American and four other
foreign companies.
President Arturo Dlia carried
through with a campaign
pledge and issued DEGREES
placing foreign petroleum pro-
duction and development under
the control of the government
run oil agency, Yacimientos
Petroliferos Fiscales. The de-
crees authorized YPF to use
force If necessary to take over
the operations.
1t was not Immediately known
whether the companies would
be fully compensated since the
final annulment papers will be
drawn up by Argentina's Pro-
curator General. There was no
indication when he would de-
liver his decision.
Legal Action Seen
The United States companies
who have estimated that they
invested 1897 million for drill
ing and exploration operations
have already indicated they
will take legal action to gain
compensation.
President Kennedy has main
tanned that the United State;
could not block the long
threatened annulment but tha'
the United States would pres
for full compensation for tn,

Control Of
Norwood
Deposits $500, 900
To Halt Building
Of Apartments
By JOHN BARRON
Star Staff Writer

The Federal Government has
seized control of the bitterly
disputed Norwood estate to
halt apartment construction on
the Fairfax County shores of
the Potomac.
A Justice Department attor-
ney hurried into Alexandria's
Federal court minutes before it
closed yesterday, laid down a
100000 check and a declara-
ton demanding a scenic ease
ment" over the entire 46-acre
tract.
At the instant the "declara-
ton of taking" was filed, the
Department of Interior by law
acquired the easement prohib-
iting developers from building
anything but single-family
homes on the land.
Department of Interior rep
resentatives, accompanied by
park policemen, this morning
posted signs at Merrywood
proclaiming Government SUI
pervision. The signs also
warned of controls established
by the easement.
Although the present private
owners retain possession Of the
property, the easement subjects
them to eight other restrictions
in its use.
One forbids the cutting Of
any tree larger than 8 inches
in diameter without written
permission from Interior Secre-
tary Udall.
Acre Lot Minimum
Another specifies that the
land may not be subdivided into
lots smaller than one acre. A
third empowers the Interior De-
partment to make inspections
at any time to assure enforce
ment of its controls.
The Government suddenly
interviewed yesterday after de-
Velopers started clearing trees
on the estate which last year
was sold by Jacqueline Kenne-
dy's stepfather, Hugh D.
AuchinclosS and subsequently
was rezoned.
An Interior Department
spokesman said that action,
which evoked jubilation, con-
sternation and outrage in
Northern Virginia. will at once
stop any further physical prep
arations for apartments.
According to testimony last
year, the syndicate now own
ing Merrywood is composed OF
builder Sheldon Magazine, car
dealer william Page, attorney
Lytton Gibson and Fairfax
Sheriff John Taylor.
Fight Shapes Up
The 100000 deposit repre-
sents a Government offer OF
compensation to them for rights
they will lose unless they can
persuade the court to abolish
the easement.
Both Mr.. Gibson and Sheriff
Taylor said there is no question
that they will fight to eliminate
it.
Instances in which courts
have prevented Government
from exercising its power of
eminent domain have been rel
atively rare. But then so have
instances in which government
has used such power to secure
easements like that at Merry
wood.
Should the easement with

Teamsters' picket lines. A
Safeway spokesman said the
decisions on opening or closing
the stores were being made on
an individual basis at each OF
the 221 stores.
AlI-Night Meeting
Negotiators for Safeway and
the 265 members of Teamsters
Local 639 met through the
night at the Hay-Adams Hotel
to work out the contract diff
ferences.
They adjourned this morn
ing until 4 pm. when negotia-
tons were to resume.
Most Safeway stores in the
District we're closed with a
picket or two out front, but
there was no set pattern.
Some of the stores never
opened as employees arriving for
work refused to cross the picket
line. Others opened for bust
ness in the absence Of a picket
line, but the employees left
when pickets showed up. The
stores were then closed.
Lighter Business
In other cases, when en-
ployes beat the picketS to work,
they stayed on the job and the
store remained open although
business was reported lighter
than normal.
At one store, 3941 Minnesota
avenue NE, two workers got
to the store before the picket
line was set up at 4 am. The
store was open.
At another, 1913 Montello
avenue NE, business was nor
NAL because, for some reason,
there was no picket line.
The manager of one North
west Washington store, which
was closed by a lone picket who
got there at 4 am, was taking
the opportunity to catch up on
his paper work. He also was
wrestling with the problem of
unloading his perishables. in

Common Cold

A. To answer this, it is necessary
first to distinguish between colds and
influenza. Both are virus diseases,
but the reaction to their vaccines is
different.
The influenza vaccines, though
not totally effective, are useful to the
groups to whom this disease could
be most damaging. These fall into
two categories: the old and in6rm,
the very young, the convalescent
and the pregnant should be vacci-
mated because the danger from the
disease is exceptionally great for
them. The second group consists
of those who deal with crowds in
public places and are essential to
the safety, comfort and welfare of
the community.
Because the vaccine protection
against influenza is short.lved, it is
recommended that immunization be
repeated annually at the beginning
of the cold season. There are many

If you are between the ages of rs
and "a, you are a prime targetfor flu.
These are the years of maximum
adult vuInerabiIIty and exposure.
Medical authorities warn that while
flu hits hardest when it hits an older
person. it is the young adults who
are struck more often. So it pays to
protect yourself in every possible
way-particuIarIy with flu shots.
Flu shots don't guarantee immu-

If. even with precaution, flu strikes
you, your doctor will doubtless tell
you to stay in bed, keep warm and
drink plenty of liquids. He may also
suggest Bufferino.

President Kennedy has di-

Udall to make sure that mine
safety regulations are applied
rigolously in an effort to pre-
vent any more coal mine dis

In a letter to Mr.. Udall made
public at the White House late
yesterday, the President noted
that two major coal mine dis
asters in the last five months
one in West Virginia last week
and the other Pennsylvania
have taken a total Of 80 lives.
Declaring such loss of life
unacceptable In view of the
accident prevention measures
available, Mr.. Kennedy said the
alarming thing about the recent
disasters is that they occurred
after a period of nearly seven
years during which there were
no mine accidents involving
such heavy casualties.

Publishers and unions in the
newspaper industry, Justice
Goldberg said, bear an i'm
portant responsibility to con-
tinue to present the daily
product Of a free press without
Interruptions.
Referring to the recent New
York newspaper strike, he said
he did not think either pub
fishers or unions fully compre-
hend the duty implicit in their
constitutional right to publish.
Justice Goldberg said he was
not discussing the merits of the
New York dispute. He said a
free press is indispensable to
the preservation of democracy
under law" and has certain
duties.
He said that both publishers
and newspaper unions "enjoy
q unique constitutional status
because freedom of the press is
protected by the First and Four
teenth Amendments.
The Justice said this creates
a duty upon both parties vol
unfairly to agree upon means
by which they can discharge
their necessary function to pub
lish--to be a free press-with-
out interruption"
He emphasized that the duty
is a moral rather than a legal
one.

duty can be discharged with

approach the task in a spirit of
