(AP) Kennedy expects to have in his hands by Sunday thc first draft of the vitally important address he will deliver Tuesday on shoring up thc national defense. For thc moment, though, Kennedy cast aside official care and settled into thc easy, comfortable ways of a Cape Cod weekend.

Aides said the President's schedule for today was completely blank so far as official appointments were concerned. But tile week ahead will be a heavy one. It includes a radio- TV address Tuesday night outlining the dimensions of the Soviet menace to Berlin and other world trouble spots and the military measures Kennedy plans to take as a consequence. On Wednesday, he will follow through with a message to Congress spelling out how lo translate these measures into legislative action. position on Berlin, Undersecretary of State Chester Bowles said the United States must convince the Russians they cannot blackmail this country into abandoning West Berlin.

He said he thought Soviet Premier Khrushchev will realize the United States cannot be pushed around by him. Bowies' comments came in a radio interview distributed to stations around the country by News Associates, Inc. Thc interview was recorded earlier for release Saturday. In a 30-minutc conference Friday, Secretary of State Dean Rusk briefed British, French and West German envoys on U.S. defense plans for Berlin.

Afterward, West German Ambassador Wilhelm Grewc hinted that part of the Kennedy program involves an increase in NATO's conventional weapons defense forces.

i bombs. The French denied using U. S. Plans Free Flights For Cubans By JOHN M. II1GHTOWER WASHINGTON (AP! The United States organized a commercial airlift today to give free flights from Havana to Miami to more than 20,000 Cuban refugees.

Whether Prime Minister Fidel Castro would permit the mass exodus was not known immediately in Washington. The State Department announced Friday night that the government had "arranged to defray the cost" of transportation for the more than 20,000 Cuban citizens who are cleared to come to this country. The over-all cost was estimated at around $350,000. The plan was worked out with Pan American Airways with some special flights to start today Irom Miami. The full schedule of 10 flights daily, each trip bringing in a little more than 100 persons, is due to start Sunday, the State Department said.

A Pan Am spokesman in Miami said a lot would depend on the speed with which Cuban authorities process the if they do at all. "That's a complicated business," he said. "We'll send our regular flight off at 10:30 a.m. and wait for word from Havana before sending the next one." The refugees qualified for the airlift transportation are those who obtained U.S. visas before the United States broke off relations with Cuba last January and those who since have obtained "waivers of visas." A waiver is simply a ruling by the U.S.

government that an individual may enter without a visa. Since the break in relations, no Cuban has been able to obtain a visa because there are no U.S. consuls in Cuba. Most of the Cubans holding waivers, the State Department announcement said, fall into two of Cubans already living in the United States and students under 21 who wish to continue their education here. U.S.

authorities said that all citizens leaving Cuba require exit permits; no one here could say whether the pro-Communist Castro regime would allow exit permits for this operation. The funds for U.S. underwriting of the operation come from a contingency fund of the International Cooperation Adntinistra- tion.

He said he would be forced to pay the fine if the state committee upheld it. Last year, the county committee "didn't bother to check" whether he grew wheat, Smith said.

"They knew I raised wheat every year. My wheat crop borders on the highway. It couldn't be hidden very well." The wheat program is compulsory. Participation in the corn program is voluntary. The farmer has been in trouble with his wheat allotment in the past.

(AP) I. (Gus) Grissom was functioning as a dedicated ttst pilot and was not aware of impending trouble as he prepared to leave his floating spacecraft Friday. He was more concerned during the flight with a rip in his parachute and trouble with his manual control system. These facts were revealed in a transcript of Grissom's radio voice contact with fellow astronauts in the blockhouse and control center, with the USS Randolph and the recovery helicopter. Included is a dramatic exchange between Grissom and the man who preceded him into space, Alan B.

Shepard Jr. Shepard was thc communicator in the blockhouse. During thc critical moments before thc escape hatch unexpectedly blew out, flooding the capsule and forcing Grissom to swim for his life, thc astronaut was asking the helicopter to wait a few minutes before picking him up. He wanted the time to take readings off all his instruments. "Roger, give me about five minutes," Grissom stated when the helicopter reported it was overhead.

When he was ready to leave, Grissom radioed: "Tell me when you are ready to go. I am going to have to take my helmet off and blow the hatch off. "Taking my helmet off, power down and blowing the hatch." The transcript ended with this statement from the helicopter: "And when you blow the hatch Grissom Relaxes After Hair-Raising Journey Into Space By ALTON BLAKESLEE Associated Press Science Writer GRAND BAHAMA ISLAND of the world's three space Grissom and Alan Shepard with, their fellow American astronauts today to plot new steps along the trail that leads to the moon. First, they want to match the feat of the Russian, Yuri Gagarin, first human to orbit the earth. Then it's on toward President Kennedy's goal of sending an American team to the moon and back in this decade.

"Gus" Grissom relaxed after a hair-raising journey in space that ended in a swim for his life in the Atlantic Ocean. The Air Force captain, 35, had successfully followed the sub- orbital trail first flown last May 5 by Shepard, 'but his journey was much more dangerous. Ho reported his capsule control system was sluggish and he had trouble with it as he tested it in the weightless environment of space. Then, when his parachute lowered him into the ocean at the end of his trip, he told Shepard on his radio "you might make a note'" of the fact that there was a six-by-six inch hole in the chute. Shepard was at the rocket control center.

Finally, his 118-mile high, 303- mile long flight ended in near- tragedy when the explosive bolts o.f Ills escape hatch fired prematurely and Grissom had to scramble quickly out as salty water rushed into the opening. The wind from the whirling blades of a rescue helicopter drove him beneath the surface for a moment, but his buoyant space suit popped him back up like a cork. He seized a "horse collar" rescue device lowered by the 'copter and was hoisted to safety. Meantime, efforts of another helicopter to salvage the water- fitled capsule failed and the $5 million space craft with its precious instruments and its film record! of the flight sank beyond hope of recovery in three-mile deep water. Sentiments of the National Space Agency were summed up by one official who commented: "We've got only one Gus, but we've got plenty of space capsules."

President Kennedy watched Grissom's perilous flight on television an dtclephoned the space man to express his "great pleasure and satisfaction." Then he signed a bill pumping $1.7 billions into the all out American drive to reach the moon before a "cosmonaut" plants the Russian flag there. Grissom himself saw a television film showing of his flight after arrival here.

He spent a relaxed evening, looked in briefly on a celebration in his honor, then went to bed about 9 p.m. Earlier, the crew-cut man with an easy smile but few words underwent a physical checkup and reported on the many vital details of his 16-minute flight. "He swallowed lots of water and spent a lot of energy staying afloat," said Lt. Col. William Douglas, personal physician for the astronauts.

"But he didn't become sick." Today, a surgeon, an eye specialist, a neurologist and an internist turned to the second half of the exhaustive medical examination. Psychologists questioned Grissom, too, and engineers talked about the premature blowout of the capsule escape hatch. They want to eliminate that "bug" in a hurry.
