Russian Premier, Protege Discuss Policy Differences si To Leave for Haiti WASHINGTON (DID The Organization of American States prepared Monday to send a special mission to Port-au-Prince to head off threatened armed ccr.flict between Haiti and the Dominican Republic. OAS Council Chairman Gonzala Facio met with envoys from the United States, El Salvador, Ecuador, Chile and Colombia to set a departure time for the mission.

It was reported to leave late Monday. The OAS was working against a Dominican ultimatum giving the regime of President Francois Duvalier 24 hours to halt of national alert Monday, canceled all military leaves and urged troops to report immediately to their bases. The United States prepared to evacuate some 1,000 U.S. citizens from Port-au-Prince, if necessary. U.S.

officials said they had received reports that all Latin American embassiei in the city had been encircled by Haitian forces. Dispatches from Port-au-Prince said police and militiamen loyal to President Francois Duvalier stopped and searched vehicles for arms, ammunition and suspected terrorists. But the nation generally was reported calm. It was believed that the units were deployed by Duvalier in a move to block an uprising against his autocratic regime. The Haitian government apparently believed the Dominican Embassy was harboring conspirators against Duvalier.

The Dominicans, fearing the move was a forerunner of an attempt to overthrow their government, accused Haiti of conspiring to assassinate Dominican President Juan Bosch. There was no word of fighting In either country and U.S. citizens were not believed in any immediate danger. However, precautionary measures were being taken to get them out what it called "aggressive" policies toward Dominican envoys in Haiti. It raised a threat of military action if Haiti refused.

U.S. sources said the Haitian and the Dominican governments had indicated they would accept the good offices of the OAS to patch up their differences. Lj. The OAS council met in a special session Sunday night to hear the Dominican charges that Haitian authorities had harassed Dominican diplomats and broken into the Dominican consulate in Port-au-Prince. The Dominican radio in Santo Domingo announced a state i t.

LBzjlM Spot Check Temporary Confusion Greets DST By DON BISHOFF OI the Register-Guard There were a few starry-eyed dreamers who, during last fall's election campaign, believed that voter approval of daylight saving time would end Oregon's time confusion. They should have been in Eugene Sunday and Monday. There was considerable confusion. But in fairness, it should be admitted that most of it was probably temporary, as folks got their clocks changed over to DST. The chance came at 1 a.m..

He said he would meet with labor leaders in an effort to get a bill that both management and labor would support. Basic School Support He said he favors leaving the basic school aid to local districts as a continuing appropriation, rather than have the Legislature reconsider the whole plan each session.

He said the latter plan "would throw every school district in complete turmoil. It would be chaos because they couldn't plan ahead." Fish and Game The Senate-passed measure to investigate the Game Commission, he said, is within the Legislature's rights. But, he added, that points up the need for government reorganization. His proposed natural resources department would be created under a bill that now isn't given much chance. 3 at ofO Receive i became 2 a.m., daylight, Sunday.

Which meant theoretically that everyone had to get up an hour earlier Sunday morning. Apparently some didn't. A spot check of Eugene churches revealed attendance down a tad. "I think the thing confuses 'em and they decided not to take a chance," said the Rev. Norman Conard, pastor of First Methodist.

"Those who are marginal feel it's a good reason not to come." But the man over at the Southern Pacific railroad depot said ministers were among the ones most confused Monday morning. SP was one of the By GEORGE SYVERTSEN Or the Associated Press MOSCOW Jauntily puffing a cigar, Prime Minister Fidel Castro talked power politics with Premier Khrushchev Monday across a Kremlin conference table. The Russians gave no information on the discussion at which Khrushchev and his Cuban protege were believed to have discussed policy differences and possibly a Castro request for more Soviet aid to Cuba's shaky economy. Familiar Uniform The volatile Cuban showed up for the 10 a.m. conference in his crumpled olive drab U.S.

Army- style fatigue uniform and combat boots. Khrushchev wore a dark business suit. Apparently oblivious to the non-smoking Khrushchev's dislike of tobacco, Castro puffed heartily on his jumbo-sized Havana as they lined up for photographers. The conference broke up around midday for a lavish dinner in the Kremlin Palace's Granovitaya chamber, a 15th century hall sumptuously decorated with fresco paintings of Russia's tsars and saints. Castro also paid a formal call on President Leonid Brezhnev and laid a wreath at Lenin's tomb in Red Square.

Khrushchev escorted his Cu ban visitors to a special ballet ne.rformance of "Swan Lake" at the Bolshoi Theater.

The bearded Cuban will be Uie.conterplece at'WedniisdaUrt Mav Dav parade in ilea squaro, where he received an elaborate welcome to Moscow Sunday. Castro is getting the most elaborate VIP treatment ever accorded a foreign visitor to the Soviet Union.

Some Western circles view the extraordinary handling of Castro's visit as an attempt to recharge the Cuban's apparently waning enthusiasm for his Russian allies since last year's Cuban crisis. Castro is known to have been deeriv offended by Khrush chev's failure to give him advance notice of his decision tp withdraw Soviet rockets from Cuba as President Kennedy demanded. A Cuban embassy official said Castro would stay in the Soviet Union for a month. Soviet officials refused to confirm this. The Cuban leader is expected to visit Algeria sometime after the middle of May.

N-Sub Blast 'Impossible PORTSMOUTH, N.H. Ml Vice Adm. Hyman G. Rickover, director of nuclear propulsion for the Navy, said Monday it was impossible for the nuclear plant on ill-fated submarine Thresher to explode. Rickover told a naval court of inquiry: "Nuclear reactors in submarines and surface ships are designed to minimize hazards under any conditions." He added: "It is physically impossible for nuclear plants on ships to explode like a bomb." Scientists at Woods Hole, Oceanographic Institution said efforts to pinpoint the location of the sunken submarine have been fruitless to date.

The Atlantis II returned to Woods Hole Saturday. Scientists or. board said photographs were taken of the ocean bottom but the Thresher did not appear on any. In Boston, the bathyscaphe Trieste underwent surface tests and is scheduled to make a test dive Thursday.

The bill goes to the Senate, which has been unfriendly to such legislation. At the same time, the Senate me senate defeated 18-9 a bill to increase the riod for marriage licenses from 3 to 7 days. The main purpose of the t.usl ness tax is to reduce the in ventory tax, which is a part of the personal property levy. The business tax would raise about $7 million a year. It would be distributed to coun ties, cities, and school and oth er local districts in the same proportion that they now col lect the personal property tax.

Opposition to the bill cen tered about the fact that it would tax professional people, such as doctors and lawyers, who now pay no personal property tax. Rep. Richard Eymann, D-Mar- cola, chairman of the House Taxation Committee, said the bill is a first step toward eliminating the personal property tax. He said the Inventory tax Is unfair, because retail and wholesale stores are able to avoid much of it by reducing their Inventories on Jan. 1 when the tax is levied.

Two years ago, the House voted for a 2.7 per cent busi ness tax that would have wiped nut the personal property tax. But it died In the Senate. The Issue: A Jury Proposal by Musa Hatfield Concern SALEM Gov. Mark 0. Hatfield said Monday he is glad to see the legislative leadership become concerned about the need for maintaining the civil defense agency.

He made this comment at his weekly news conference after heing asked what he thinks of Senate President Ben Musa's proposal to double the $50,000 civil defense appropriation vot- by the House. "Sen. Musa's proposal," Hatfield said, "goes further to meet the civil defense needs." Hatfield asked for a $410,000 appropriation to maintain an 18-man staff. The House plan would cut it to three men. Musa would appropriate which the federal government would match, and thus provide for 12 persons.

One of the four, ex-Lt. Wil liam A. Szill, Norristown, has complained he was unfairly treated and should be reinstat ed in the corps.

Ex-Capt. Arthur J. Jackson, San Jose, who was said bv Szlli to have shot the Cubas in self-defense, is expected here Thursday at a White House ceremony for Medal of Honor winners. Szill said he and Jackson, long with two other officers nd three enlisted men, burled the body of the slain Cuban In side tho naval base. He said they thought disclosure of the laying would create an inter national Incident.

Armed Services Chairman Carl Vinson, declined comment on the case. However Rep. Richard S. Schweiker, to whom Szill took his com- 1 plaint Saturday, said Vinson told him Monday he was ordering an immediate inquiry by the committee staff. Trial The Circuit Court then asked the Supreme Court to make the decision on the jury trial question.

Bsrnett snd Johnson first were cited for civil contempt. The Circuit Court found them guilty, but before enforcing penalties it ordered the criminal contempt proceedings against the officials and left hanging the civil contempt case. The Circuit Court hsd chsrged Bsrnett, 84, with contempt after he disobeyed its order not to interfere with Meredith's admission to the university. Johnson was msde a party to the proceeding on the ground he hsd stopped Meredith on one occasion. Meredith was admitted to the university last fall after rioting in the area.

Kennedy Returns WASHINGTON Preiident Kennedy flew back to the White House Monday after a weekend of rest and relaxation at Camp David in the Catoctin Moun tains near Thurmont, Md. High Court to Hear Gov. Barnett Case holdouts who stayed on standard time. "We've had a couple of ministers show up an hour early for trains," said the man at the ticket office. "I had one show up at 5 o'clock this morning for a 6:15 train." Out at the Mahlon Sweet Field weather station, weathermen were laboring under a variety of times.

All public reports are being made on a DST schedule, but weather reports from all over the world are geared to Greenwich Mean Time. And there isn't any Greenwich Mean Daylight Time. "We're all mixed up," said H. C. Rinard, the head man.

Not everybody had problems, though. The recorded voice at DI 8-8911 was saying Monday, "At the tone, daylight time will be Florence Reed Cook, crusader against EuRene's unofficial daylight time last summer, admitted that she made the changeover to daylight this year. "It doesn't make any difference to me at all," she said. "It was not the time itself I objected to, it was the way the Legislature went against the vote of the people. A check of Willamette Street clocks Monday morning showed that all but two were on DST.

One exception was a pie shop, whose clock has stopped permanently at 12:35. The other exception came in the block of Willamette between Eighth and Broadway. Those two financial institutions flashing time-andtemperature gns which haven't agreed since they were Installed disagreed again Monday. The Equitable sign was on DST. But the U.

S. National flasher remained on standard. "We have our order in, but they just haven't gotten around to us yet," said Jim Reese, U.S. assistant manager and vice president in charge of time and-lem-perature signs. Incidentally, one sign said the temperature was 50 degrees, the other said it was 54.
