Dulles told a Senate-House economic subcommittee, evidence indicates Khrushchev's Tart 18 Pages Cover Castro's TV Omissions HAVANA, Nov.

13 L'P In a brusque counter-attack, the Castro regime today told the United States to "reconsider and revise its policy and its attitude toward the government and people of Cuba." The government's note to Washington dealt tartly and directly with the worsening of Cuban-American relations, a subject largely avoided by Prime Minister Fidel Castro in a tired and visibly haggard overnight TV appearance. i "Mix This Is An Automobile In Billings, Mont covered with 16-inch snow blanket Record Cold, -46, Ice, Snow Harass Montana first-hand look at the United States shattered his illusions ahout overtaking U. S. industrial production in the next 10 years. But at the same time Dulles, director of trfe Central Intelligence Agency, testified the Russian economic drive must be taken seriously.

He said the U. S. lead, while still substantial, will be narrowed dangerously by 1970 unless this country pushes ahead its industrial expansion at a faster pace. "The Communists are not about to inherit the world economically," Dulles said In his prepared statement. "But while we debunk the distortions of their propaganda, we should frankly face up to the very sobering implications of the Soviet economic program and the striking progress they have made over the last decades -Af Wifwhoio Allen W.

Dulles explodes Red myths Maxwell said. "To show you how cold it was, when I did finally lower on a big elk, the gun wouldn't go off. It was that cold." THE SEARCH PARTY set out for the ghost town and found Amick resting on a rat-eaten mattress and toasting himself before a' warm fire. Other were not lucky. The blizzard that raced from the Rockies into the East already had claimed at least 22 lives.

Eight were dead In Illinois, six in both Montana and Iowa, and one each in Michigan and Kansas. The U. S. Weather Bureau said the cold wave would move tonight into Eastern Nebraska, Oklahoma, Western Missouri, Northwest Arkansas and North Central and Southwest Texas. By tomorrow the cold should have pushed its way through Texas and eastward to the HELENA, Nov.

13 (UPIi Record-breaking cold, as low as 46 derives below zero, froze blizzard-swept Montana tonight and posed new dangers on the Missouri River. Just as the icy skies cleared over buried cities and ranches, a huge ice jam formed on the Missouri at Townsend, 32 miles southwest of Helena. Livestock hecame marooned on islands in the jam's hack-water and the icy stream was reported spilling into ranch-house basements. The unrelenting cold wave refused to let the temperature "rise higher than eight below-zero in Helena, which lay submerged under 21 a inches of snow. To the south, temiie-ra-tures in Oklahoma and Texas skidded 4.) to 55 degrees below yesterday' levels.

TWO MONTANA State University students survived Hie worst ordeal of (lie greatest blizzard in Montana's history. Visibly haggard after an unsuccessful two-week search for his missing Army Chief, Ma J. Camllo Clenfuegos, Castro mostly played an old record, except to declare it must be presumed Clenfuegos died in an air crash off the Cuban coast. One of the few flashes of his oldtime oratory came when he lambasted American newsmen for circulating reports that Clenfuegos might have deserted the revolution or had been kidnaped or murdered as a result of political intrigues In Castro's own revolutionary movement. That done, he failed to give his people a fill-in on situa- tions which they had expected af'er a 17-day lapse in his television appearances.

One Cuban, long a supporter of Castro, said his net impression of the speech was that Castro "is unhappy and worried. He talked and acted like a man who needs to sit down for a long time to get his thoughts together." CASTRO ADMITTED his regime faced hard times ahead, and blamed what he called a deliberate campaign by the U. S. press and big business and "hypocrites in Cuba" who abandon his cause when things get tough. As Castro was speaking, a shooting affray at the gates of Camp Libertad, military headquarters near Havana, resulted in the deaths of a Major and two Corporals and the wounding of a Captain.

A newspaper report said a Sergeant also was wounded. Military authorities said the shooting resulted from a confusion of identities when the Major and Corporals sought admission to the camp and were refused by a guard detail. State Police To Check River Today For Missing Teamster Richard Maxwell, 20, and Bob Amick 21, were trapped by the snows as Uiey hunted elk on top of the Bearmouth Range near Missoula, Mont. For two nights and three day they waited out the big storm in a rat-infested miner's cabin In the ghost town of Reynolds. A 14 -man search party had almost given up hope of finding the youths alive.

Then the telephone rang in the Missoula Sheriff's office and Maxwell's voice said "I'm home. Were you looking for me?" M-WW I I a rugged ex-fool ball player, had left Amick nursing an injured knee in the cabin. He had walked for six males in waist deep snow straight up the side of a mountain to get to his car. The journey took him six hours and the temperature was 42 below. "It was cold up there," Council 26, as "scared something was going to happen to him." And his wife, Frances, 36, said she fears for he husband's life.

Roberts said the housewife's description tallies with information he has received. Mrs. Lonaker said Curtsinger wore a gray coat, dark trousers and was hatless. "I was looking out the front window. I thought it was unusual for someone to park his car and w-alk across the bridge in the rain.

"It was raining pretty hard. The man pulled tip his collar as he walked on the bridge and looked around, wntching the cars," she said. Mrs. Lonaker said she observed the, man as he walked nearly a quarter of the way across the bridge. Roberts said he was re-checking facts already uncovered, in the hope of finding a -clue to Curtsinger's disappearance.

Times of leaving work, arrival at home, departure, and other points were rechecked yesterday. The detective noted, however, there Is a time discrepancy as to when the car was parked. Mrs. Lonaker said she saw the man between and 6 p. but Curtsinger's wife said he left home at 8:80 p.

m. For Early '60 HIS TESTIMONY WON HIM commendation for "exploding myths." Sen. Jacob K. Javits (R. i dwelt particularly on Dulles' statement that "espionage and the reliance on outside technical experts, particularly German played a relatively minor role" in Soviet accomplishments in industry, armaments, missiles and nuclear development.

Javits said Dulles' testimony also dispelled notions that: The Soviet economy has grown spectacularly only because it started from a very low level. Dulles testified that Czarist Russia was more industrialized than is generally believed, The looting of plants in Manchuria and East Germany accounted for much of postwar Soviet growth. Dulles said the benefit was small compared with wartime losses. Dulles dismissed as a "gross exaggeration" a Khrushchev prediction that the Russian people will enjoy the world's highest living standard by 1970, Dulles said the Soviet public "still fares very badly in comparison with ours." Dulles pegged current Soviet industrial production at about 40 per cent of U. S.

output. The CIA, he told the subcommittee, expects the Russians to continue to grow industrially by about 8 to 9 per cent a year the growth rate he said they have kept up for the past decade. If this rate continues, Dulles estimated, the Soviet Union's industrial production will rlimh to about 60 per cent of the U. S. level In 1970 unless the United States spurts ahead of its recent average annual expansion rate of 4'2 per cent.

"On the other hand." Dulles said, "we see no prospect that the Agricultural goals of the seven-year plan will be approached." ON THE MILITARY SIDE, Dulles said CIA has evidence which bears out Khrushchev's claims that the Russians are abandoning bombers for missiles and are halting construction of naval cruisers. U. S. defense sources have speculated the Russians are getting away from cruisers as they concentrate more and more on submarines. Shoppers Horrified! Women Scream, Faint At Sight Of Shopping Center 'Murder' Enquirer Bureau Special BATAVIA, Ohio, Nov.

S. charges that deliberate and concerted efforts are being made here to damage friendly relations. It said the Cuban revolution "knows where it came from, what it wants and where it is going." AN 18-PAGE DOCUMENT handed to U.

Ambassador Philip Bonsai replied to notes of October 27 and November 9 in which the United States charged the Cuban government was attempting to replace traditional friendship with distrust and hostility. "The revolutionary government definitely rejects" the charge that such an effort ex. sts. the note said. U.

S. reference to the danger of Communism is "the same old song unpacked and dusted once again the Cuban revolution does not fear ghosts," the note said. The note also rejected what it called the insinuation conveyed by U. S. explanations on the ban of arms exports to the Caribbean area.

S. government hag a right to deny licenses to export arms to whom it desires but could not exert its influence with other governments "using as a pretext that it does so to cooperate to the keeping of peace in the Carribbean area." COVERING almost every pha.se of relations with the U. S.

government, the note reiterated a charge that American based aircraft bombed Cuba, citing specifically the alleged bombings of two sugar mills in Central and Western Cuba last month. Cuba declared its protests were not based on "questionable circumstantial evidence" or "malicious inventions" but on concrete actions. Premier Fidel Castro had been expected to deal with Cuba's relations with the United States in a three-hour plus television appearance ending early today.

Chased By Ex-Slaves Tribal Giants On Run KIGALI, Ruanda-LTrundi, Nov.

13 iPt Hundreds of Watusis, a tribe of giants, were fleeing today from the all-out attack of their former slaves, the smaller but more numerous Bahutus in this African trust territory. Belgian forces said some had taken refuge with their wives and children in towns and Roman Catholic missions, and that others had crossed into Uganda, a British trust territory to the north. Fearing a famine because so many farmers are leaving their burned-out huts. Belgian leaders had thousands of leaflets scattered, calling on everybody to remain at work in the fields. Ruanda, scene of most of the trouble, has had famines and near-famines in the past because the poor land is over populated.

All Ruanda has heen placed under military control, hut there was little that the 1500 exhausted troops flown In from the Congo and two companies of Belgian paratroopers could do to check the bands of Bahutus. They roamed the hills, setting fire to Watusi huts, slashing their cattle chopping down banana trees and coffee plants and then d.sappf aring into the forests. Often old folks are left the huts to burn. Hundreds of huts and villages have been burned and many acres of plantations damaged. About 600 Africans have been arrested for arson in the last three days One hand of 400 was rounded up when spotted by an armed forces plane.

Among those arrested were seven tribal chiefs. Two more rioters were killed by troops at Gitarama. Fatalities now total more than 200. No major clashes have been reported since troops intervened three days ago. but authorities feared the proud Watusis would go on the warpath in revenge the moment troops are withdrawn.
