MOSCOW (Soviet Premier Khrushchev told President Ken- nedy today the invasion of Cuba is “a crime which has revolted the whole world.” “It has been established in- controvertibly that it was the United States that prepared the intervention, financed, armed and transported the mercenary bands which invaded Cuba," Khrushchev said in a message to President Kennedy, handed to E. L. Freers, U. S. charge d'affaires. It was in reply to Kennedy's ‘recent communica- tion. . “Mr. President, you are fol- lowing a very dangerous path,” Khrushchev said. ‘Ponder that." tions with a five-hour live inter- view of prisoners the government claims it captured during the abortive invasion by Cuban exiles.

By The Associated Press An anti-Castro radio broad- cast from an island of Central America today (Saturday) told two rebel] “battalions” apparent- ly fighting on Cuban soil that help was on the way and urged them not to surrender. The appeal from Swan Island was made a few hours after the Castro government put he- fore Havana television camer- ag some prisoners captured aft- er Jast weekend's invasion. One admitted their mission failed and sald not many rebels had escaped, Others said propagan- da from Swan Island and North America had misled them. The Swan Island broadcast, minotored by The Associated Press in Miami, also repeated troop movement instructions it had sent out during the night. It had told earlier of new small landings made in Cuba, but no other source confirmed this. Some rebel! sources in Mla- mi did say, however, that be- tween 500 and 1,500 guerillas were headed for Cuba for a new invasion assault. A dispatch from Havana de- scribed the Cuban capital as a city of fear and suspicion. It said a new wave of arrests and detentions reached into al- most every family, Suspects jammed swollen jaila and liv- ing conditions were described as growing worse, The New York Times quoted a diplomatic source in Wash- ington as saying Maj, Ernestc (Che) Guevara, one of Castro’s top aides, was seriously wound. ed in the head earlier thfs week, The Times said the in- formation reached Washington from a diplomatic source in Havana, The diplomatic source said a neuro-surgeon was sent to a provincial hospital where Gue- vara allegedly was taken. Gue- vara, 32, is Cuba's economic czar, In Cuba itself, Fidel Castro's press and radio crowed over the victory. U.S. sailors and Marines stationed at Guantana- mo naval base in Eastern Cu- ba were reported angry at what they regard as a slap in the face by Castro to the Unit- ed States. They are in a state of alert but so far are unllke- ly to be used in any direct at- tack outside the base. The government radio net- work sald Prime Minister Fi- del Castro, unseen in public for almost a week, was person- ally directing mop-up opera- tions in the interfor against the surviving rebel invaders who are trying to overthrow his. pro-Communist regime.

ALGIERS (®-A military jun ‘ta of retired generals backed by tough paratroops seized power it Algiers in defiance of Presiden’ Charles de Gaulle today and claimed control over the vast ter. ritory. The blocdiess coup was carried out between midnight and dawn. It sent a chill running through metropolitan France and caused consternation in Tunisia where the: Algerian nationalists who have been in revolt against France for almost seven years were preparing for peace talks. It was not immediately clear how tight a hold the insurgents had ‘on Algeria and De Gaulle sent one of his top leutenants, Algerian Affairs Minister Louis Joxe, by jet plane from Paris to find out. The insurgent leaders took over the government buildings of Al. gies and in a broadcast over Al- giers Radio claimed leadership over all of Algeria and the Sa- hara, Although the rebels ted by Gen. Maurice Challe, former French commander in chief in Algeria, claimed to control the whole territory this was disputed by the De Gaulle government in Paris. Tt said loyal soldiers. were in con- trol outside the City of Algiers. Premier Michel Debre satd the rising was “a premeditated and undisciplined act" by retired gen- erals. He said they had scized the’ government buildings in Al Igiers but “in all the rest of the territory the situation is normal in every respect, The government ly taking all necessary measures if insure that force rests with. the law.” | Alone with Challe the rebel communique broadcast by Algiers Radio was also sigtied by Para- troop Gen. Raoul Salan, who played a prominent role in the 1958 rising in Algeria that brought De Gaulle back to power. Salan recently has exiled him- self in Spain, It was not believed that he had arrived on Algerian soil but he was expected momen- tartiy. 3 The rebel communique — said “The powers held by the divil authorities have- entirely. passed to military authorities.” French officers who have fought the Algerian nationalists. in the BYe-year rebéliion have been among the bitterest opponents of De Gaulle’s — self-determination pollcy for Algeria.

PARIS (UPI) — Four rebel French generals sup- ported by Foreign Legion paratroopers seized Algiers in a bloodless coup today and announced they had taken over Algeria and the Sahara Desert from Presi- dent Charles de Gaulle’s government, Premier Michel Debre went on a nationwide radio and television chan to appeal for “absolute obedience” in France but already minor right-wing violence was re ported in France itself. A bomb exploded in a telephone booth of the town hall of the fashionable Neuilly district of Paris just west of the Arch of Triumph. Police said it caused considerable damage but ap parently no casualties. The bomb was of the type used by right-wing extremists in past terrorism against the De Gaulle government. Police noted that Neuilly Mayor Achille Perretti is a Gaullist deputy of the National Assembly. The insurgent generals broad- ‘cast a seven-point order of the day proclaiming a state of siege and saying “all resistance, from whatever aurter, will be brok- en.” The proclamation was a dec- : laration of a virtual state of mar- tial law. State Of Siege The insurgent army and air |force generals in Algiers an- ‘nounced over Algiers radio — re» named “Rado France” — that they had proclaimed a state of siege throughout the African ter- ritory. The generals appealed to the army, navy, air force and po- lice to join them, De Gaulle apparently was taken completely by surprise, although opposition among Frenchmen in Algiers to his policy of permitting Algeria eventually to become in- dependent has been rising. But the government reacted swiftly. France canceled all military leaves. De Gaulle called a cabinet meeting to consider further action and conferred during the day with Debre and Adm. Georges Cabain- er, chief of staff of the French navy. Debre named Gen. Jean Olie as new commander-in-chief in Algeria to replace Gen. Fer- nand Gambiez who was arrested by the insurgents. Olie flew im- mediaetly to Algeria. A rebel broadcast said the gen erals in Algiers were upholding (Continued on Page 2, Column 2) omg

(By The Acsociated Press.) | Wilmington, Del. Aug. 28.—Within ‘a few weeks after his brother, Pierre Du Pont, announced that he would support Governor Smith for the pres- idency, Lammot Du Pont announced in a statement made public today that he would vote for Herbert Hoover. Lammot Du Pont is president of E. I. Du Pont de Nemours & Co., and his brother, who held that office during ‘the World war, is chairman of the board. They are cousins of Coleman Du Pont, Republican United States senator from Delaware. Lammot Du Pont's statement ap- peals to business men to stand by the Republican party “because under Re- publican government for the last eight years we have had prosperity and un- der Democratic administrations we have bad less prosperity and usually hard times.” He differs with Hoover on the liq- uor issue, but declares the prohibi- tion question is by no means the par- amount one of the campaign, nor that other questions out of deference to it should be left to settle themselves. “Both platforms are silent as to re- peal or modification of the eighteenth amendment and prohibition laws,” con- tinues the statement. “We know that at the Democratic convention there was a violent fight over a wet plank and the drys won out. Both parties stand for enforcement of the exist- ing law. .. “A definite ‘plan for control of the liquor traffic must be worked out and sold to the public. In that way only can we sucure the necessary heavy majority to repeal the eighteenth amendment. This will be accom- plished more rapidly under Republi- can prosperity than Democratic de- pression.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — The leaders of the world’s two nu- vlear superpowers pledged in a landmark agreement today to regulate their relations in a way to reduce the risk of nucle- ar war. President Nixon and Soviet Communist party Secretary Leonid f. Brezhnev reached the accord in the fifth day of their summit talks and prepared to sign it at the White House be- fore heading for California where they will conclude their meetings Sunday. In addition to its application to U.S.-Soviet relations, the agreement applies also to the relations of either party with ather countries. In this way, al- though technically bilateral, the agreement has multilateral im- plications. The two leaders declared in the agreement that they were “conscious that nuclear war would have devastating con- sequences for mankind” and said they wanted “to bring about conditions in which the danger of an outbreak of nucle- ar war attywhere in the world would be reduced and ultimate- ly eliminated.” They pledged their countries to ‘act in such a way as to pre- vent the development of situ- ations capable of causing a dangerous exacerbation of their relations, as to avoid military confrontations, and as to ex- clude the outbreak of nuclear war between them and between cither of the parties and other countries.”’ ; Nixon and Brezhnev also ‘agreed that their countries ‘will refrain from the threat or the use of foree against the oth- er party, against the allies of the other party and against oth- er countries, in circumstances which may endanger _inter- national peace and security.” Ata news conference prior to the formal signing, presidential assistant . Henry A. Kissinger skirted questions on whether this clause would forbid U.S. bombing of Cambodia or would have prevented the Soviet in- vasion ot Uzecnosiovakia. Kissinger noted, however, that.U.S. air strikes against Communist forces in Cambodia were under way at the time the agreement was being nego- tiated and that the bombing “was not raised as applying to that particular situation.” When a newsman asked whether the agreement would forestall any Soviet action against China, Kissinger re-: sponded that the accord was “not conceived as_ protection for any country” but added it would “have the practical con- sequence of applying to the sit- uation you described.” “T'H see you tomorrow at the signing,’’ Nixon reminded Brezhnev just before midnight Thursday as he left the Soviet Embassy after a banquet of caviar, borsch, Russian beef and fish, two kinds of vodka and Soviet champagne.

ABOARD USS TICON- DEROGA (UPI) — Skylab’s astronauts landed on target in the Pacific Ocean tocay and reported they were in ‘super shape” after a fiery, strenuous yeturn to earth from a record 28 days in space. It was a flawless end to a mission that started with a Jailure. and the flight took a yaiay step toward giving man we in space. Charles “Pete Conrad, Jo seph P. Kerwin and Paul J Weitz came back in the Apoll command ship they took off in four weeks ago. Their space Station remained in orbit, reaily for its next crew in five weeks. The ship reported the as: tronauts landed precisely or target. 843 miles soulhwesl of San Diego. The Ticonderoge was 6! miles downwind at the time.

ABOARD USS TICONDEROGA (UPI) — Skylab’s astronauts landed in “‘super shape” in the Pacific Ocean today and walked shakily a few minutes later to the doctors’ office to see how well they had withstood a record 28 days in space. The bullseye splashdown and quick recovery by this veteran aircraft carrier marked a flawless end to a mission that started with failure. The flight took a major step toward giving man a place in space. , Charles “Pete” Conrad, Joseph P. Kerwin and Paul J. Weitz returned in the Apollo command ship in which they were launched May 25. The big space station remained in earth-orbit, ready for its next crew in five weeks. President Nixon quickly sent a telegram to the men who had just completed an 11.5 million mile journey and invited them to visit him at San Clemente, Calif., Sunday. “You have given conclusive evidence that even with the most advanced scientific and technological support in the world, the courage and resourcefulness of good men are still central to the success of the human adventure,” the President said. Conrad, commander of the nation’s first space station mission, reassured recovery forces several times that he and his crewmen were all right after the strenuous re-entry which quickly built up deceleration forces 314 times the force of gravity. “Everybody’s in super shape,” Conrad radioed after three orange and white striped parachutes eased the command module into the gently rolling seas of the Pacific 834 miles southwest of San Diego. The splashdown drama was captured by television cameras and beamed back by. * Kerwin and Weitz reported some diz- ziness after splashdown and Kerwin in- flated a pair of pressure pants to keep his blood pressure from dropping to the point where he might faint. This temporary effect was expected because of the ten- dency of astronauts’ blood to pool in their legs, away from the brain, as a result of heart laziness induced by long exposure to the lack of gravity. Dr. Lawrehce Dietlein, a NASA physician, said the astronauts looked in “quite good” health, “far better from what I personally expected. a The spacecraft was hoisted aboard this ship with the pilots still inside, a switch from past procedures made to keep the astronauts’ exertion to a minimum. Medics were ready to carry Conrad, Kerwin and Weitz on stretchers, if neces- sary, from their scorched capsule to the blue mobite medical laboratories 66 feet away. But the astronauts, smiling and waving, climbed out of the Apollo under their own power. They stood on a wooden platform briefly, chatting with Dr. Charles Ross, the flight surgeon, and then carefully made their way down some steps and to the special Skylab clinic. Conrad, who has been in space more than anyone, appeared the most relaxed. Weitz and especially Kerwin “walked a little bowlegged and slightly hunched over. But the fact that they were able to walk as well as they did was significant. It meant the three Americans were in better shape after spending 28 days in space than two Russian cosmonauts were at the end of an 18-day flight in 1970. They had to be carried from their spacecraft. The primary objective of the Skylab marathon was to see how well men fare for long periods of weightlessness and then adjust to the rigors of gravity back on earth. Conrad, Kerwin and Weitz were un- dergoing long and detailed medical tests within an hour after their 9:50 a.m. EDT splashdown. Doctors said the first results would not be known until late in the day. The fate of two planned 56-day flights aboard Skylab hinged on the findings of the doctors. The next launch is scheduled July 27 for Skylab 2 astronauts Alan L. Bean, Owen K. Garriott and Jack R. Lousma. The only problem of the day developed just as the three Skylab 1 astronauts were preparing to leave the space station in orbit 274 miles above earth. The refrigeration system that runs the. station’s food and biological sample freezers failed. , The nature of the trouble was not known, and flight director Neil Hutchinson said it may be possible for ground controllers to fix it by doctoring the system by remote control from earth. If the trouble could not be fixed, Hut- chinson said about 15 per cent of the food aboard Skylab could spoil. But he said this would not seriously affect the next two missions. The Apollo command ship was loaded with a wealth of information about the sun and earth’s natural resources as well as medical data. Dr. James C. Fletcher, NASA ad- ministrator, praised recovery forces for their unusually smooth pickup of the astronauts and said all major objectives of the flight were completed.

ABOARD USS TICONDE- ROGA (AP) — Skylab’s astro- nauts came safely home from man’s longest space journey to- day, splashing down with pin- point precision in the Pacific Ocean after 28 days and 11 mil- lion miles in orbit. “We're all in good shape,” Commander Charles Conrad Jr reported as the spacecraft de scended. ‘“‘Everything’s OK.” The astronauts almost were held over in orbit to try to re pair a refrigeration problem in their space station. But Mission Control decided there was noth. ing the astronauts could do and told them to come home. So, 10 minutes behind sched- ule, Conrad, Dr. Joseph P. Ker- win and Paul J. Weitz un- docked their Apollo ferry ship from the station and executed a series of maneuvers that sent them slamming into the at- mosphere above Thailand for a fiery descent. The Apollo craft hit the calm Pacific waters at 9:50 a.m. EDT about 830 miles southwest of San Diego, Calif., within sight of the main recovery ship, the USS Ticonderoga. It was just after dawn off the West Cinaet Hundreds of white-clad sail- ors on deck and millions watch- ing television around the world again had a ringside seat to a U.S. man-in-space landing as the Apollo craft floated down through low-hanging clouds and dangling under three huge or- ange and white parachutes. “Everyone's in super shape,"’ Conrad said as the spacecraft bobbed on the water awaiting pickup. Frogmen immediately leaped from helicopters to se- cure the spacecraft with flota- tion collars. The Ticonderoga reported the astronauts had landed 61% miles from the ship and that the ship was 6'2 miles from the target point, indicating a_ perfect touchdown. The Ticonderoga steamed to pick up the Apollo capsule with the astronauts still inside, in contrast to most earlier US. flights when the spacemen were lifted to the carrier by helicopter. Medical requirements dic- tated the pick up method today. Medical experts were not cer- tain how the astronauts would react after returning to earth’s gravity following record ex- posure to space weightlessness so they decided the astronauts should be subjected to as little activity as possible until they can be examined in mobile medical laboratories aboard the Ticonderoga. The landing completed an historic space mission that last- ed 28 days and 50 minutes. Dur- ing that time the spacemen cir- cled the earth 395 times. Mission Control was kept in suspense for most of the final 76 minutes of the flight — a pe- riod when the Apollo ship was out of radio contact with ground stations. The Ticonderoga’s radar picked up the streaking craft at a distance of 188 miles, 10 min- utes before landing. While out of radio contact, at 9:11 a.m., the astronauts con- ducted the critical retrorocket burn that slowed their 17,100 mile-an-hour speed by 130 miles, allowing earth's gravity to tug the spacecraft out of or- bit and start the long glide through the atmosphere to the eastern Pacific. The refrigeration trouble caused considerable concern. A maneuver intended to correct it caused a brief gyroscope prob- lem that caused the 10-minute delay in the astronauts’ depar- ture from the orbiting labora- tory. “We're free,’’ Conrad report- ed seconds after the control center flashed the go-ahead for undocking from the 118-foot- long laboratory. They left behind a space sta- tion which they had salvaged with some daring, difficult and often ingenious repair tasks after it was damaged during launching May 14. After the undocking, the as- tronauts made a 45-minute fly- around inspection of the sta- tion, televising pictures of the odd-looking space vehicle to mission control for evaluation by experts. Then, in quick succession, they triggered the engine fir- ings that gradually dropped them closer to earth from their original orbit.

Washington, May 10. House spy hunters said today they have testimony that the son of a University of California of- ficial helped a communist attempt to infiltrate the school’s atomic laboratory in 1941. The testimony was given in seeret session by Paul Crouch, ad- ‘mitted former communist of Miami, Fla., who is scheduled to testify again at a hearing of the house un-American activities com- mittee on May 24. “I was active in trying to in- filtrate all scientific research at the University of California,” Crouch told the committee last Friday behind closed doors. In that project, he said, he was assisted by the son of the univer- sity official, who drove him to secret meetings in swank southern California homes. Because the tes- timony was taken secretly, the committee would not permit use of the official’s name. The plan, Crouch said, was to organize the laboratory workers into special sections of the commu- niet party.

THE HAGUE (AP) — The In- ternational Court of Justice called on France today to re- frain from nuclear testing in the South Pacific pending a fi- nal decision on the legality of the test series. By an 86 vote, the court ruled that Australia and France should not take any action in the meantime “which might ex- tend the dispute or prejudice the final decision of the court.” The court's ruling followed applications last month by Aus- tralia and New Zeland seeking an injunction against the French test series. The court said it would schedule further hearings in September and December. It did not say if France, which boycotted last month's hear- ings, would be represented at the forthcoming sessions. In their pleadings before the court, representatives of both the Australian and New Zea- land governments said further nuclear tests in the South Pa- cific would present unaccep- table health and environmental dangers to the population of the areas concerned. The Australian attorney gen- eral, Lionel Murphy, said the forthcoming series might be of “a size and yield hitherto un- equalled,” The people of the southern hemisphere ‘‘will pay with their lives for the French decision to go ahead with their spring test program,”’ he added. France so far has refused to give any information as to the nature and yield of the devices which it proposes to explode. The only indication so far that the tests are imminent were reports last Saturday from Tahiti saying six French navy vessels, known to be con- nected with the tests, left there last week bound for the Mu- ruroa Atoll. The Mururoa test atoll lies 750 miles southeast of Tahiti. French opposition leader Jean-Jacques Servan-Schreiber said in the Tahitian capital of Papeete Thursday the French government plans six or eight nuclear atmospheric tests in the South Pacific this year, and must start them by the end of July. The Radical party leader is in Tahiti to lead a mass demon- stration Saturday against the tests. The World Court's ruling still left the door open for France to step into the case should this now be decided by the French government.

The World Court’s ruling still left the door open for France to step into the case should this now be decided by the French government. The court noted that France had declined to accepts its jurisdiction in the case in a letter handed over by thé French ambassador to the Hague on May 16. At that time, the French also demanded that the Australian and New Zealand ap- plications should be removed from the court’s agenda. The court declined to do that today, but invited Australia to file submissions by Sept. 21 attesting to the court’s jurisdiction ‘and the admissibility” of the Australian application. It set Dec. 21 as the deadline for any counter proposals that the French may decide to file. French officials had no immediate comment on today’s ruling. French officials in the past said they would ignore any decision on the con- troversial tests by the court. Body shop closed week of June 25, for vacation. G W Motors, Inc.

Shelby, N. C., August 28.—(AP) —lour people were known to have been killed and an undetermined num ver injured here today when three buildings in the business dis- trict collapsed. The dead are Miss Ora Eskridge, a clerk in the’ First National ‘bank; one unidentified white man and two unidentified ne- gro laborers. As construction crews ‘worked desperately to clear the tangled wreckage it was feared that the death toll would mount when the hasements of the collapsed — struc- tures were cleared. A construction crew engaged in excavating under the buildings was still unaecounted for and little pos- sibility of its escape was seen. The collapsed structures are the First National bank, Goode’s -gro- cery store and Hadley’s tailor shop. Most of the injured, an early check indicated, were employes or cus- tomers of the bank, The exeavation under the — build- ings was thourht to have -aused the enoflanse.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A Republican member of the Senate Watergate committee says the Nixon administration has ‘‘stepped on” anyone willing to search for the truth about Watergate. Sen. Lowell O. Weicker Jr., who made the claim Thursday, also said that fired White House Counsel John W. Dean III should be listened to when he appears before the panel. Dean, who has said he dis- cussed Watergate and a possible coverup with President Nixon, will be the lead-off witness when the hearings resume next week. “I think there is a great deal of credibility to a story that he is going to go ahead and tell, and I think the committee owes it to him to enable him to tell that story in full view of the public,” Weicker said on a Public Television show, ‘Evening Edition.’ He was interviewed by Martin Agronsky. ‘Is his testimony credible? I think it is. “Nobody's attributing 100-per-cent credibility to him or any other witness, but he’s got the guts to stand out there and that’s no small thing when you were in his position and had all the pressures that obviously must have existed on this young man at the time to decide that you're going to step forward and tell the story to the American people.” Weicker was the sole opponent of the committee’s decision to postpone Dean’s appearance for one week last Tuesday because of the summit conferences this week between Nixon and_ Soviet Communist Party leader Leonid 1. Brezhnev. “It should be clear from various public statements that have been made that any institution, whether it's a witness, anybody that’s willing to step out and try to find out the truth ana try to tell the truth is gonna’ get stepped on by the executive branch of government,’ the Connecticut senator said. He cited Vice President Spiro T. Agnew’s recent attack on the Watergate panel as one that ‘‘can hardly hope to find the truth and hardly fail to muddy the waters of justice,’ as an example of the executive branch's efforts. Meanwhile, the committee said it was considering a halt to the practice of talking to prospective witnesses in secret because sO much — supposedly confidential information is leaked to the media. “T nearly despair of doing anything about it,’ committee Vice Chairman Howard H. Baker, R-Tenn., said Thursday. ‘It means that the committee probably will end its closed-door sessions with witnesses, which until now have been held routinely in advance of public appearances. News stories Thursday featured accounts of closed-door testimony by Dean and Watergate conspirator E. Howard Hunt. Also Thursday, another congressional investigation into Watergate-related matters was announced, this one by the House Internal Security Committee. Chairman Richard Ichord, D-Mo., said he wants to find out why the White House formed the “plumbers” group that bur- glarized the office of Daniel Ellsberg’s psychiatrist in 1971. President Nixon has said he ordered the ‘plumbers’ to plug , such news leaks as the secret Pentagon Papers, which Ellsberg§ gave to newspapers. In New York, former Democratic — National Ckairman Lawrence F. O’Brien said the scandal has hurt both parties. He called for limits on how much candidates may spend in their campaigns and urged use of a new provision allowing taxpayers to designate a dollar of their federal income taxes to finance _ political campaigns.

MOSCOW (UPI) — The _ Soviet Union and former Laotian Pre- mier Prince Souvanna Phouma declared today that ‘‘real condi- tions exist’’ for a peaceful settle- ment of the crisis in Laos. The Soviets and the exiled Laotian neutralist issued a joint communique after Souvanna flew off to Communist China, the next stop on his world tour. The communique urged convo- cation of an international confer- ence as suggested by Cambodian head of state Frince Norodom Sihanouk, a cease-fire and the re- sumption of activities of the inter- national supervisory commission in Laos.

WASHINGTON (AP)—President Kennedy meets with former Pres- ident Dwight D. Eisenhower to- day in an evident bid to rally strong national support for criti- cal steps which he may consider to deal with the in- creasingly dangerous Cuban cri- sis. | A White House annoyncement of the session—at Camp David, Md. — emphasized Cuba as the topic for the conference. But it did not rule out the prospect that Kennedy could discuss with his a broad range of in- tensifying cold war conflicts with the Soviet Union. Before flying to Camp David by helicopter Kennedy met with the National urity Council, presumably to discuss possible future moves against the pro- Communist government of Cuba in the wake of this week's abor- tive anti-Castro invasion. WILL STUDY DEFEAT in the midst of these develop ments, the President was report- ed to have ordered a thorough study of reasons for the defeat of the rebel invasion attempt which began last weekend with the United States’ moral support —and, it was generally believed here, with some backing of U, 8. money and arms. The President was understood to be concerned about what some authorities called a failure to cal- culate accurately in advance the strength of Prime Minister Fidel Castro's military reaction to the rebel assault as well as possible errors in intelligence.

WASHINGTON, May 9. (® —A Republican critic of the North At- lantic Treaty stalked out of Senate ‘hearings on the proposed 12-nation pact today with an angry protest ‘that Chairman Connally (D-Tex) was inflicting ‘‘gag rule.” Connally heads the Senate For- eign Relations Committee which has been conducting the hearings. Senator Watkins (R - Utah) walked out in silent fury, but later told a reporter: ‘I'm sick and tired of it. I don't intend to, be lectured. humiliated and embarrassed by the chairman any longer. I'm through with the hearings and any further questions I have to ask will be asked from the Senate floor.” Watkins is not a member of the committee, but has been given the privilege of questioning witnesses at his own request. He has per- sistently challenged the need for the treaty, . At the outset of the hearings. twe |weeks ago, Chairmas Connally ac feutce both Watkins ssi Senato Donnell (R-Mo) of trying to ‘‘ob struct, impede and _ filibuste: against the treaty.” / Watkins and Donnell denied the j accusation, The row — threatening trouble for the administration when the i Senate begins debate on the treats '.- developed as Watkins started tc ‘question Mrs. Kathryn H.

0 YS Ss pend | An anti-Castro radio broadcast from an island off Central America today told two rebel bat- talions apparently fighting on Cuban soil that help was on the way and urged them not to surrender. The appeal from Swan Island was made a few hours after the Castro government put before Havana television cameras some prisoners captured after last week’s invasion. One admitted their mission failed and said not many rebels had escaped. Others said propaganda from Swan Island and North America had misled them. The Swan Island broadcast, minotored by The Associated Press in Miami, Fla., also re- peated troop movement instruc- tions it had sent out during the night. It had told earlier of new small landings made in Cuba, but no other source confirmed this. Some rebel sources in Miami did say, however, that between 500 and 1,500 guerrillas were headed for Cuba for a new invasion assault. A dispatch from Havana de- scribed the Cuban capital as a | city of fear and suspicion. It said a new wave of arrests and deten- tions reached into almost every family. Suspects jammed swollen jails and living conditions were described as growing worse. The New York Times quoted a diplomatie source in Washington as saying Maj. Ernesto Guevara, one of Castro's top aides, was seriously wounded in the head earlier this week. The Times said the information reached Washing- ton from a diplomatic source in | Havana. The diplomatic source said a neurosurgeon was sent to a pro | vincial hospital where Guevara al- _ legedly was taken. Guevara, 32, | is Cuba’s economic czar. The government radio network said Prime Minister Fidel Castro, unseen in public for almost a week, was personally directing ss operations in the interior against the surviving rebel invad- ers who are trying to overthrow his pro-Communist regime. | A Havana television station Fri- day night prepared the people for | big ‘Castro Day” victory celebra- ee with a five-hour live inter- | view of prisoners the government claims it captured during the | abortive invasion by Cuban exiles. One prisoner was Jose Miro | Torres, son of the top Cuban reb- el leader Jose Miro Cardona. Miro Torres bit his lip and rocked in his chair as he admitted that his force was defeated and his operation ended in failure, The rebel leader’s son said on Havana television that he had been well treated since his cap- ture. All his comments were in the form of answers to his inter- rogators. “Then it is not just to say that Cuban militiamen behave like hu- man beasts?"’ Miro Torres was asked. “Absolutely not,”’ he replied be- fore the cameras. When asked by the panel of in- | terviewers what he and his men | expected to find when they land- ed, Miro Torres said: “We thought the militia and the ‘army would join us.” | “That is what you were told. But |what did you find?” “They fought us very hard and defeated us.”’ “Then you were defeated?” | Miro Torres was asked. | “Yes,” he answered. | Miro Torres also responded ‘no’? when asked if any appre. _ciable number of invaders had | escaped. | Jose Miro Cardona appealec ‘from his New York headquarters ‘to Pope John XXIII, asking the _pontiff’s intercession to halt fir ing squad executions of captured | Sebets.

ABOARD USS TICONDEROGA (AP) — Skylab’s astronauts came safely home from man’s longest space journey today, splash- ing down with pinpoint precision in the Pa- cific Ocean after 28 days and 11 million miles in orbit. “We're all in good shape,’”’ Commander Charles Conrad Jr. reported as the space- craft descended. ‘‘Everything’s OK.” The astronauts almost were held over in orbit to try to repair a refrigeration problem in their space station. But Mission Control decided there was nothing the astronauts could do and told them to come home. So, 10 minutes behind schedule, Conrad, Dr. Joseph P. Kerwin and Paul J. Weitz undocked their Apollo ferry ship from the station and executed a series of maneuvers that sent them slamming into the atmos- phere above Thailand for a fiery descent. The Apollo craft hit the calm Pacific waters at*9:50 a.m. EDT about 830 miles southeast of San Diego, Calif., within sight of the main recovery ship, the USS Ticonde- roga. It was just after dawn off the West Coast. Hundreds of white-clad sailors on deck and millions watching television around the world again had a ringside seat to a U.S. man-in-space landing as the Apollo craft floated down through low-hanging clouds and dangling under three huge orange and white parachutes. ““Everyone’s in super slape,” Conrad said as the spacecraft bobbed on the water awaiting pickup.

ABOARD USS_ TICONDE- ROGA (AP) — Skylab’s astro- nauts came safely home from man’s longest space journey to- day, splashing down with pin- point precision in the Pacifc Ocean after 28 days and 11 ml- lion miles in orbit. “We're all in good shape,” Cammander Charles Conrad Jr. reported as the spacecraft de- scended. ‘“‘Everything’s OK.” The astronauts almost were held over in orbit to try to re- pair a refrigeration problem in their space station. But Mission Control decided there was noth- ing the astronauts could do and told them to come home. So, 10 minutes behind sched- ule, Conrad, Dr. Joseph P. Ker- win and Paul J Weitz ur docked their Apollo ferry ship from the station and executed a series of maneuvers that sent them slamming into the atmos- phere above Thailand for a fiery descent. The Apollo craft hit the calm Pacific waters at 9:50 a.m. TDT about 830 miles southwest of San Diego, Calif., within sight of the main recovery ship, the USS Ticonderoga. It was just after dawn off the West Coast. Hundreds of white-clad sail- ors on deck and millions watch- ing television around the werld again had a ringside seat to a U.S. man-in-space landing as the Apollo craft floated down through low-hanging clouds and dangling under three huge or- ange and white parachutes. “Everyone's in super shape,” Conrad said as the spacecraft bobbed on the water awaiting pwkup. Frogmen immediately leaped from helicopters to se- cure the spacecraft with flota- ton collars. The Ticonderoga reported the astronauts had landed 64 miles from the ship and that the ship was 644 miles from the target point, indicating a perfect touchdown. The Ticonderoga steamed to pick up the Apollo capsule with the astronauts still inside, in contrast to most earlier U.§. (Continued on Page 2)
