News Photo How Kennedy Proposes To Attack Problems Dogging Farm And City Here's a review of the broad shape of President-elect John F.

Kennedy's attack on problems of the farm and city, last in a series of five on poli- ciea of the new administration. By Ovid Martin Associated Press Farm Writer Washington, Jan. Kennedy administration has promised to help farmers attain a higher level of prosperity and to assist city dwellers in coping with mushrooming municipal problems. But the new team will get to work quicker on problems of farmers than those of their city cousins. Orville L.

Freeman, former governor of Minnesota, will take over the Department of Agriculture, with its vast system of field offices and farmer committees, on Jan. 20. One of his first steps is expected to be assurance to farmers that they can look for better days before the year is out. Insofar as the cities are concerned, it may take more time to develop a coordinated assistance program to solve complex problems of slum clearance, mass transportation, urban planning, sewage disposal, juvenile delinquency and education. The Democratic platform promised city folk a seat on the president's Cabinet and Kennedy has endorsed a special report by urban experts calling for creation of a Cabinet-level department for urban affairs.

However, no time schedule was indicated. The post would require approval by Congress. The attack on the farm problem is expected to have two phases. One would greatly broaden measures to increase consumption of agriculture's super-abundant production both at home and abroad. The other would tighten government controls on farm production cases approved by to help prevent excessive output.

Nevertheless, Kennedy has said that abundant farm now represented by huge surplus be regarded as a Kennedy (Turn to Page 5) Uruguay Ousts Two Diplomats Over Pro-Castro Activities Montevideo, Uruguay, Jan. Uruguayan government has ordered the Cuban ambassador and the Soviet Embassy's first secretary out of the country, charging they were connected with pro-Castro demonstrations and street fights. The expulsion order was voted Thursday night by Uruguay's 9- man government council, which reportedly is split 5-4 against an outright break in diplomatic relations with Prime Minister Fidel Castro's regime. The decision declaring Cuban Ambassador Mario Garcia Inchau- stegui and Soviet First Secretary Mihail K. Samilov persona non grata brought still another demonstration by admirers of Castro.

A crowd of about i.OOO gathered in Montevideo's, streets, shouting "Cuba yes! Yankees no!" A force of 1,500 police wearing steel helmets prevented any violence. The governing council acted after police stormed into Communist headquarters here Wednesday, and arrested 139 persons and seized documents. Officials said the raid was on a Judge's order to arrest persons who beat an anti-Castro partisan to death in front of the headquarters. So far no one has been charged with the death. The man was killed in a fight that spread over 20 blocks Tuesday night when about 1,000 Castro adherents tried to break up an anti-Castro rally of about 3,000.

Scores were injured. The pro-Castro demonstrations have been building up here while the government debated whether to break relations with Cuba. In addition to the United States, Peru, Guatemala and the Dominican Republic have cut their diplomatic link with Castro regime. Haiti, Nicaragua, Paraguay and Colombia have called their ambassadors home from Havana. Castro repeatedly has urged that the masses in other Latin-American countries adopt his revolutionary tactics.

Expelled Georgia U. Negroes In Legal Bid For Readmission Belgian Austerity Plan Passed By Lower House Brussels, Belgium, Jan. (SP) lower house of Parliament approved 115-90 today the government's austerity program, target of a 25-day-old general strike called by the Socialists. Later approval by the Senate is considered a formality. The Socialists opposed the plan bitterly, saying severe cuts in social welfare services and higher taxes will fall heaviest on the workers.

Premier Gaston Eyskens insisted austerity is necessary to offset losses of revenue from the'Congo. In the senate, Eyskens' conservative coalition of Social Christians and Liberals has a substantial majority. Shortly before the vote, a mass meeting of Socialist political leaders issued a thinly veiled call for a federated Belgium split into separate French-speaking and Flemish states. A meeting at Namur of 400 Socialist members of Parliament, provincial representatives and burgomasters adopted a resolution demanding that the Walloon area be free "to dispose for itself and to choose its own means of social and economic expansion." The Walloon area is the southern half of Belgium, where the Socialist strike against government austerity is still going strong. The Flemish area of the north never backed the strike as strongly and is gradually returning to normal.

State Retirement Plan Seen Likely Topeka, Jan. UP) John Anderson said today he believes the 1961 legislature will pass his proposal for a comprehensive retirement plan for state employes. He said the retirement system would cost about four million dollars per year. Only certain groups of state em- ployes have retirement plans at present. Anderson said the proposed system at first would not include those employes already covered.

He told newsmen he thought the proposal should be adopted and the present retirement plans could be merged into it later for the sake of uniformity. The governor said the lack of a retirement plan had been "costly to the both expense and inefficiency." A retirement plan would in large measure eliminate the present turnover of employes, which is running about one-third, he added. "It also would allow the retirement of some persons who have passed the point of productivity," Anderson said. Former Gov. George Docking vetoed a retirement bill on the ground that it was not actuarily sound.

William P. Rogei disclosed in Washington the Justic Department was "initiating a pre liminary investigatidn of reporte mob action at the University Georgia to ascertain whether or no federal law violations occurred." An FBI spokesman in Atlant today said agents have been sen to Athens but he declined to dis close details. "We are carrying out the orders he said. "We are making the pre liminary investigation. That is a we have to say about it now." The Georgia House of Represen tatives named a special five-ma subcommittee to begin hearings i Athens today to check conflictin reports and rumors of recent penings at the university.

House Speaker George L. Smit II said in a statement he was coi fident the subcommittee woul neither whitewash the event no engage in a witch hunt." More than half the 600 membei of the Georgia faculty Thursda night unanimously adopted a reso lution saying, "We insist that two suspended students be returned to their classes." The resolution also urged "all measures necessary to the protection of students and faculty and to the preservation of orderly education be taken by appropriate state authorities." Fifty student leaders began circulating petitions protesting violence and urging "decisive action" by university officials. These developments in the state's week-old integration crisis occurred shortly after Judge Bootle issued a far-reaching 1 decision invalidating that portion of Georgia's appropriations act which bans use of tax monies for support of an integrated public school or college. The judge continued in effect an injunction granted Tuesday against Gov. Ernest Vanmver and ojher state officials which had kept them from closing the university but cutting off funds.

The governor had no comment on the federal order. But he made it clear at a news conference he had no plans to help Miss Hunter and Holmes return to classes at the university. ade as an attempt to counter the ffect of the open demonstration of nticommunism last month by elec- rical workers, who marched on he presidential palace shouting Cuba si!

It was generally assumed that Castro would address the rally to- ight.

He is expected to announce that he "invasion" from the United States had been scared off by the ixtensive display of Czech and Soviet arms which has made much the island an armed camp for everal weeks.

The soldiers reportedly icked up their officers at 'amp Hardy after a riot over ay. Excitement swept ille at news that Lumumba nay again be at liberty. Ferry boats across the Congo River at Brazzaville, in the for- ner French Congo, were packed throughout the day with Europeans and Congolese.

The flurry was symptomatic of the uneasiness in this capital whenever Lumumba is mentioned. Communications With Camp Cut There was no official confirmation that Lumumba actually is free. Telephone lines to Thysville Camp Hardy is were cut. Lumumba was locked up in. 3amp Hardy Dec.

While the pro-Communiat ex- premier has been brooding in jail liis followers have taken control of Oriental and Kivu provinces and thrust into North Katanga. The Lumumba rebels'now control over a third of the Congo and have strong support in other areas. Lumumba took over as the Congo's first premier June 30 when the Belgians granted the colony independence.

In his inaugural speech he accused the Belgians of inflicting sufferings on the Congolese people for 80 years. Within a few days, the Congolese army mutinied against continued command by Belgian officers. Lumumba's opponents charge he incited the army to rise. The mutiny created panic among the Belgians remaining in the Congo and they quit the country in droves. Threatened Appeal To Soviets The Congo then appealed to tha United Nations for help.

Lumumba demanded withdrawal of Belgian troops. On July 20 Lumumba said he was ready to ask for Soviet help in stabilizing the country. Two days later he left for the United States and Canada in search of aid. He discovered that the West planned to channel all its Congelese aid through the United Nations. The Russians began sending technicians as troops of the newly established U.N.

force poured in. The Russians channeled their help directly to Lumumba's government in Leopoldville. On Sept. 5 President Kasavubu dismissed Lumumba. He refused to quit but took refuge in the villa and stayed there with U.N.

troops guarding him. Late in November he slipped out of the residence and headed for Stanleyville, where his supporters held control. He was arrested by strongman Col. Joseph Mobutu's troops in the interior and returned to Leopoldville Dec. 2 to stand trial for inciting the army to revolt.

In Kivu Province today, U.N. forces fanned out to rescue Europeans from violence threatened by Lumumba (Turn to Page 5) The Massey residence is at West 15th street. 10 FIREMEN'S OROUr ELECTS Kenneth Marshall, Hays, wa elected president of the Firemen Federal Appointment For Docking Reported Kansas City, Jan.

Laotian government's four newly acquired planes from Ihe United States pounded the pro- Communist rebels' artillery posi- itions 70 miles north of Vientiane today for the third straight day. No reports were available so far on the damage but military experts said the Laotian pilots- -trained in France and would need more flying to sharpen their aim.

So far there was no sign of air retaliation from the Soviet Union, Communist China or North Viet Nam, which support the Pathet Lao rebels. But Western intelligence sources reported an old model Soviet spotter plane, was observed directing rebel artillery fire on Monday, the day before the United States delivered the four propeller-driven trainer planes the government forces are using. Use of the planes for attack missions raised fears among British and French diplomats here that the Soviets or Red Chinese would supply combat planes for use against the anti-Communist forces. The planes were reported attacking in the area of the Nam Lie River, 70 miles north of Vientiane, where two companies of government forces were reported engaged with a rebel force of about the same size. Army sources said Premier Boon Oum's government is applying steady pressure on this front in an effort to link up with government units pushing down from Luang Prabang, the royal capital.
