The subject of Minnesota! iron ST. PAUL (AP)-Gov. Elmer L. Andersen, inaugurated today as Minnesota's 30th governor, pledged to lay aside "extreme partisanship" in his dealings with the Legislature.

Flanked by the black-robed members of the Minnesota Supreme Court and the state's constitutional officers, Andersen was given the oath of office by Chief Justice Roger L. Dell in ceremonies before a joint assembly of the House and Senate. Andersen will be confronted with a liberal-controlled house and a conservative-dominated senate presided over by Democratic-Farmer-Labor Lt. Gov. Rolvaag.

In outlining a broad program embracing welfare, education, agriculture and many other problems, Republican Andersen declared: "May I say that my approach will not be one of extreme partisanship. It never has been. It will be my purpose to work with both groups of both houses, and with every individual legislator in achieving constructive legislation." Andersen said one of his first concerns is with the fiscal condition of state government. He added: "Due to spending more than By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Here is a quick look at some of the points stated by Gov. Elmer L.

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (AP) An anti-Cuba demonstration broke out in the public gallery of the U.N.

Security Council today during a speech by Cuban Foreign Minister Raul Roa. The outbreak forced a recess in the council meeting. U.N. guards quickly moved in on the demonstrators as they heckled the Cuban foreign minister, but when the shouting persisted the council president, Am-bassador Omar Loutfi of the United Arab Republic, ordered a recess. Roa had just begun presenting Cuba's charges that a U.S.

invasion of Cuba is imminent. Roa said Tuesday night's break of U.S.-Cuban relations would contribute to the increasing tension. Just at this point, shouts broke out in the crowded gallery. The demonstrators yelling in Spanish such words as "murderer," "Liar" and "Communist." The meeting was resumed after 10 minutes. Eight of the demonstrators were ejected by U.N.

guards. They said they were members of the Cuban Revolutionary Front, a Cuban exile group opposed to Prime Minister Fidel Castro. Roa took the floor after the United States had accused Castro of deliberately forcing the breach of relations between the two countries. U.S. Ambassador James J.

Wadsworth told the U.N. Security Council the United States had worked hard to prement "the leaders of Cuba from choking off our friendly relations but that is what they seemed determined to do." Wadsworth spoke shortly after the council met to consider Cuban charges that the United States is planning an invasion of Cuba. He began by referring to Tuesday night's decision by the White House to break diplomatic relations with the Castro regime. Before the meeting Cuban Foreign Minister Raul Roa told a re-See Page 1, No 8 IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (AP) A new-style nuclear reactor blow up Tuesday night, killed three men and touched off a high level of deadly radiation in a building at one of America's major atomic testing stations. The Atomic Energy Commission quickly sealed off the area and said there was no danger to other parts of the station or Idaho Falls, a city of 34,000 persons 40 miles away.

But the building itself was so "radioactively hot" that only one of the three bodies could be recovered in the first nine hours after the blast. A team of radiological experts, eerie looking in their baggy white suits with heavy protective shoes, gloves and mask, shuttled in and out of the building to inspect damage and test the radiation. They went in one at a time and could stay only minutes. The AEC said it would send airplanes aloft to check the level and direction of radiation. A southwest wind, however, was blowing at the time and would take any radiation over barren wastelands away from populated areas.

The three victims, identified only as an Air Force man and two Army men, were operating the reactor known as "Stationary Low Power Reactor No. 1." is a prototype of a small mobile reactor being developed for use by the Army in remote areas. In Washington, the Army identified the two Army dead as Spec. 5.C. John A.

Byrnes, Uitca, N.Y.; and Spec. 4.C. Richard L. McKin-ky, Kenton, Ohio. The accident occurred at 9:30 p.m.

The three men killed were the only ones in the building. At least 60 are on duty there in the daytime. It was the first fatal accident in 11 years of operation at the National Reactor Testing Station, a major AEC installation. It may be weeks before the AEC knows exactly what happened. But a spokesman said it apparently was a chemical explosion.

About 4,500 permanent employes work at the station west of here and the AEC said it planned no changes in their schedules today. The engine for America's first atomic submarine was developed at the site and tests are now being conducted there on a variety of projects, including the power plant for an atomic airplane. The radiological crew members who entered the metal building pieced together this picture of the explosion: The experimental reactor, being developed as a portable source of electric power and heat for the armed forces, apparently "blew its top." The reactor and the boiling water in which it is immersed are housed in a metal shell which was not penetrated. This is capped by a metal cover through which fuel and control rods run to reach the enriched uranium core of the reactor. threw rocks at windows of two textile factories.

Many teachers in Ghent struck and few children reported to school. Police Administration Minister Pierre Harmel declared that despite the sporadic disorders, vital services were being restored.

The Socialist newspaper "Le Peuple" claimed that 200,000 persons demonstrated throughout Belgium Tuesday against Prime Minister Gaston Eyskens' austerity program of higher taxes and lower social security benefits.

The President said "our sympathy goes out to the people of Cuba now suffering under the yoke of a dictator." The White House announcement of the break-off Tuesday night marked rock bottom in a downward plunge of U.S.-Cuban relations that started soon after Castro's capture of power two years ago.

Castro's anti-United States attacks and his surge to the Communist camp have mounted over the months. The bearded Cuban leader reacted to Eisenhower's statement by saying. "We are alert." He called his Cabinet into emergency session, then sent a note to the U.S. Embassy guaranteeing safety of all remaining Americans. A State Department spokesman said the break did not affect the big U.S.

naval base at Guantana-mo Bay in Cuba. Castro has made threats against the base. The United States says it holds an unbreakable, no-time-limit lease on the installation. Eisenhower served notice last Nov. 1 that the United States "will lake whatever steps may be appropriate to defend the base." President-elect John F.

Kennedy declined comment on the diplomatic break. He was given advance word on the president's action. (The New York Times said today that Secretary of State Christian A. Herter asked Dean Rusk, Kennedy's choice for secretary of state, in advance whether the incoming Democratic administration wished to associated itself with the break. (Rusk replied after consultation with Kennedy that in the absence of complete information on all the relevant factors the new administration did not feel that it could participate in the decision, a Washington dispatch to the Times added.)

Senate to Tag Jobless Bill No. 1 WASHINGTON (API Senate Democratic leaders have started a drive to get through Congress the first of the social welfare bills President-elect John F. Kennedy has pledged to back. No. 1 is the depressed areas bill.

It was learned today that Senate democratic leaders will give it the "S.l." ticket as the first Senate bill introduced this year. The measure again will be offered by Sen. Paul Douglas, and will be similar to another bill of his in the last Congress, passed by the Senate, watered down by the House, and vetoed by President Eisenhower. Among other measures on the Kennedy list sure to follow are medical care for the aged tied to Social Security, raising the minimum wage and federal aid to schools. But before they buckle down to business both House and Senate were embroiled today in their perennial fights over matters pertaining to civil rights legislation.

In the Senate, the fight centered on a proposed rules change to make it easier to halt a filibuster the ancient weapon of the Southerners to talk a civil rights bill to death. Sen. Clinton P. Anderson, has proposed that three-fifths of the Senate 0 senators-could vote to cut off debate. At present a two-thirtis majority of all present and voting is needed.

Another proposal is to cut the requirement to a simply majority of 51 senators. That is backed by Sens. Hubert H. Humphrey, and Thomas H. Kuchel, R-Calif.

Southern senators spoke sharply against any rules change and prepared an arsenal of parliamentary moes to fight it. The new majority leader. Sen. Mike Mansfield of Montana, said he hoped the issue can bo settled this week. In the House, Speaker Sam Rayburn and other Democratic leaders are determined to curb the power of a Southern Democratic-Republican coalition in the See Page 2, No.

The note, delivered after the Cabinet in an emergency meeting had considered the White House announcement of the break, also offered to extend the 48-hour period given all but 11 members of the embassy staff to get out of Cuba. The 48-hour period expires this afternoon. It further emphasized the amenities by offering "in concordance with the norms of international right, every kind of facility" for the removal of the embassy's office equipment and other property. The Castro government said it in turn would withdraw its diplomatic personnel from the United States as speedily as possible and turn its representation in the United States over to Communist Czechoslovakia's diplomats.

The State Department estimates there are from 3,000 to 3,500 Americans in Cuba. The Department urged American civilians in Cuba to leave even though they have not been ordered out by Castro. U.S. airlines still were flying into Ha-vanna. There was no immediate rush of agitated Americans to the embassy, however, and many were expected to remain in Cuba.

Several small American businesses have escaped the nationalization that has wiped out most of the billion-dollar American investment in Cuba. A number of Americans still here are married to Cubans and have lived here for years. A dozen or so Americans are in jail on various charges, awaiting determination of their cases. Several others are serving prison sentences. Eight correspondents for news services, newspapers or magazines are among those remaining.

Most of the Americans in Cuba had expected the break in relations for some time. The bulk of the American colony already had left, because they had lost their businesses. The embassy's receptionist, her mother and her sister were arrested Tuesday night by Cuban military agents. The three women are Cuban citizens. The receptionist, Miss Sophie Alice Watson, had planned to leave for the United States today.

U.S. Says Base Is Unaffected WASHINGTON (AP) The White House said today the breaking of diplomatic relations with Cuba "has no effect on the status of our naval base at Guan-tanamo." Presidential press secretary James C. Hagerty dictated this brief statment to emphasize this country's determination to maintain the big naval base located in Cuba: "The termination of American diplomatic and consular relations with Cuba has no effect on the status of our naval station at Guanlanamo. "The treaty rights under which we maintain the naval station may not be abrogated without the consent of the United States."

Leaders of the Socialist-led General Workers Federation summoned strikers to a rally after a morning attempt to close department stores collapsed before a show of police force. Guarded by an iron ring of armored cars and state policemen, Parliament met to discuss the program of higher taxes and reduced welfare service that the government insists is necessary for survival. The department store strike attempt was marked by scattered violence, and there were clashes elsewhere in Belgium. Police chased several hundred pickets away from stores.
