Oct. 7 (UPD With Burma's Thant virtually assured selection as act ing secretary general, diplomats concentrated Saturday on ironing out other troublesome details of a small-power plan for administration of the United Nations.

FIVE ASSISTANTS The plan called for five assistant secretaries general, chosen on the somewhat political basis of geographic distribution, to work closely with the interim chief, but not as Russia originally demanded for a "Troika" of three deputieswith veto power over his actions. Agreement between the United States and Russia on the top man would be required before his name was put before the security council.

A state department spokesman, Joseph Reap, said the U. S. can not permit the Cuban exile govern ment to base itself in this country because such action would imperil the lives of U. S. citizens and American interests still under control of the Castro regime.

In a wire to Dr. Julio Garceran, president of the new exile gov ernment, the state department said permission for the organiza tion to work Irom the United States would amount to recogni tion of the exile government. WOULD HURT U. S. Reap said this would pull the rug out from under the bwiss government's representation of U.

S. interests to the government of Fidel Castro. Reap said S. citizens are imprisoned in Cuba and can only be offered such protection as is available in Cuba under the Castro regime by the continued ability of a foreign government to represent U. S.

interests." The wire to Garceran, signed by Wymberly Coerr, acting assist ant secretary of state, said the exile government plans to set up in the United States should be dissolved and "ease forthwith." HAVE SYMPATHY Coerr's wire to Garceran in Miami said the "United States sympathizes strongly with your motives and looks to the day when freedom will reign in Cuba." But Coerr said the exile govern ment went ahead with its plans without consulting the state department, and added "I am constrained to inform you that the government of the United States does not consent to the pretended or assumed existence of the government of Cuba in arms in exile within its sovereign domain." Appendicitis Hits Chess Champion BELGRADE, Oct. 7 (UPD American chess grand master Bobby Fischer, 18, was taken to a hospital Saturday with appendicitis, the Tanjug news agency reported. Fischer, of Brooklyn, N. was stricken while traveling near Banja Luka, Yugoslavia, for a chess match. He is taking part in an international tournament in Bled and was to play another match in the city of Ljubovija.

Doctors said it was not yet de termined whether Fischer would be operated on. in Ford Talks Continuing Negotiators Meet Today, One National Issue May Be Settled DETROIT, Oct. 7 CTl The strike 120,000 Ford Motor company production workers will continue into next week.

These will include radar, fighter craft, antiaircraft missiles, and communications and control sta tions, among other things.

JOURNAL READERS to of of reaction from the Soviet leader New York with Russian Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko. Hope was that Khrushchev's next step would disclose that he is aware of the extreme peril of the present collision course. But in East Germany Communist leaders rattled Russian rockets and missiles at the west Saturday, but Deputy Soviet Premier Anastas Mikoyan said the Rus sians do not want war.

Mikovan, in a moderate speech at an East Berlin rally celebrat- the 12th anniversary of the Communist Regime, called for conclusion of a peace treaty but he set no deadline and made no threats. MORE ESCAPE TO WEST While the Communists cele brated in East Berlin, at least 19 more persons escaped to freedom in West Berlin during the night, four of them Comirmnist Peoples Police (YOPOS). West Berlin police said a group of six men and six women fled together by a means they kept secret. They said it took the group of 12 three hours to travel 300 yards. West Berlin officials said the number fleeing was one less than the 20-a-day average maintained despite the Communist wall across the heart of the city.

Mikoyan' speech contrasted sharply with those by the East Germans. He offered "all effective guarantees to respect the rights of a free city in West Berlin and scarcely referred to the possibili ty of war. RED GENERAL SPEAKS However, Marshal Ivan Koniev, Soviet troop commander in Germany, said Friday night Russia would defend East Germany against attack. Pravda, the official Communist party newspaper, said in Moscow that the danger of a war requires the "undelayed conclusion" of a peace treaty. The East Germans said rockets and nuclear weapons stand ready in case the west tries to block conclusion of a peace treaty with "war provocations" and said western provocations against East Germany would mean the start of World War III.

Mikoyan said the time is not far off when Russia will leave the United States far behind in the production battle and give its people a higher standard of living than that enjoyed in America. "We need no war to achieve this goal," Mikoyan said. "We want to decide the outcome of socialist-capitalist competition through peaceful co-existence." GUARANTEE CITY He turned to West Berlin then and said, "we are ready to give all effective guarantees according to international law" and that the guarantees would cover the right of access to the city from all directions. "Naturally the sovereignty of the German democratic republic, through whose territory the routes run, will have to be respected," he said.

Target date for adjourning the convention, which opened will be April 1 or earlier. Many observers had guessed con-con would run until mid-May In Congo By PETER LYNCH -(United Press International) I ABETHVILLE, Oct. 7 (UPD Swedish UN troops to day feared new violent rampages by Baluba refugees unless the United Nations acted swiftly to improve conditions among the 30,000 tribesmen crammed into a makeshift camp near here. Seething unrest exploded Friday when a gang of tribesmen at tacked and severely beat a Swedish sergeant patrolling the camp alone. Swedish troops were forced to open fire, killing 10 of the natives and wounding 40 more.

A French salesman who arrived in Ndola, Northern Rhodesia, told newsmen that he saw two UN soldiers and 25 Baluba tribesmen die in a clash Thursday. Van- herre Weghen said the battle flared when UN soldiers inter cepted a band of Balubas who broke out of the camp. (He said the Balubas opened fire first and then "all hell broke loose." The tribesmen apparently were trying to enter the European sector of Elisabethville when halted by the UN soldiers, he said.) A wind-lashed rain that flooded the camp Friday night appeared to have dampened at least for a time the Balubas enthusiasm for- more fighting. While the rains brought a lull in the it also carried the threat of an epidemic in the camp. Confesses Arson Try Lansing Man Held After He Admits Setting Apartment Fire A 29-year-old Lansing man ad mitted to city police detectives and Lansing fire department investigators Saturday night that he set fire to an apartment in the building where he lives with his wife.

Investigators arrested the sus pect, Fred E. Shepard, 129 Astor st. on an arson charge after he admitted using a thinning liquid to set three fires in the upstairs apartment of James Par-ham Tuesday afternoon. Neighbors discovered the blaze and it was extinguished by firemen with an estimated S200 loss. Investigators said they suspect ed Shepard because he had been questioned previously on other incendiary fires.

Their suspicions were pracuc allv confirmed, they said, when a fingerprint on a can in the ga- raee at the residence was found to be Shepard's. Investigators had earlier determined that paint thinner or fuel oil was used to accelerate the fires. Officers said Mrs. Shepard as sisted them in convincing her hus band to return to Michigan. He had gone to Ohio soon after the fire" broke out, police said, but had telephoned his wife.

The suspect was booked at the Lansing city jail pending arraign ment in municipal court Monday. -and house leaders wno can put the necessary drive behind the controversial proposals he is expected to make. Moreover, because of Rayburn's illness, Kennedy will lack among these leaders a vigorous "no" man who can advise him against the kind of mistakes presidents sometimes make when they misjudge the temper of congress. Rayburn, with his standing among his colleagues and his long years of experience, often has been able to find ways of getting the seemingly impossible done in the house. Even though his per formance this year was net up to he remained the most persuasive man in the house.

MCCORMACK LACKS PUNCH Rep. John McCormack, (D- Mass). designated as acting speaker, seems to lack the power punch Rayburn packed. He does not have a political bank account of past favors for members upon which to draw as did Rayburn. While McCormack bucked the President by demanding aid to parochial schools in the session that ended last month, neither he nor any of the other leaders seems to have the disposition or the power to tell the President he had better foreet about some pro posal or modify it drastically if he wants congressional approval for it.

In the senate, Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield of Montana operates on the theory that the best leadership is that which does not try to dictate to those who follow. The Montana senator is more apt to take the role of an umpire between disputing party factions than that of a leader who herds them into line. OTHER CONGRESS LEADERS Mansfield tries to co-operate as fully as possible with Kennedy on all administration requests. As he sees it, his job is to do his best but without any coercion of fellow Democrats to get White See RAYBURN Page 2, Col. 5 had to be done right away.

But Ball told them he did not have the money for the operation. Scores of calls from State Journal readers offering to help poured in Saturday night. The Journal advised callers to send contributions to the Ball Fund, Postmaster, Maple Rapids. Mrs. Ball's trouble started when she contracted rheumatic fever when she was 12.

the United Auto Workers recessed Saturday, but will be resumed Sunday at 1 p. m. Saturday some problems regarding skilled trades jobs were reported settled. Walter P. Reuther, U.

A. W. president, and Malcolm L. Denise, Ford vice-president labor relations, agreed one major national problem was settled Saturday. But neither was willing to con firm outright the specific issue involved.

It was known the issue of lines demarcation between skilled jobs had been the only national item under discussion talks Friday and Saturday. The problem was to dehne what jobs belong to what classification of workers. One source said settle ment of this on a national level should speed agreement at some of the remaining 36 unsettled local units. So far, 49 local units have settled. Bargaining sessions Saturday ran one hour and 50 minutes.

The full committees have met only seven hours since the strike be gan.

Ball had been working as a laborer with a pipeline firm in the Cadillac area before being called upon to take his wife to Philadelphia for care.

Nisbet, and one of the vice presidents, Edward Hutchinson, who say the convention can complete its work before April 1 perhaps even as earlv as March 1. FEARS REACTION Said Hutchinson, "If we're not through by April 1, we'll never be through." Nisbet's view was that the delegates ought to finish the job by early spring if they want the voters to ratify the results.

To drag the convention into May or June, he said, could easily exhaust voter interest in the project and result in rejection of the new document. Hutchinson said he fears an unfavorable reaction, detrimental to ratification, if voters get the impression that delegates are dawdling just to collect the full $7,500 ior Vk months on the payroll. "Most delegates, I am sure, have no desire to remain in ses sion just to draw a paycheck," he said.
