PAGE 8 20 PAGES SIOUX FALLS, SOUTH DAKOTA, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1962 TELEPHONE ED 4-5811 10 CENTS GOP Solons Against Red Haven in Cuba WASHINGTON -Four Senate Republicans warned Tuesday against any Soviet missile-removal agreement that might provide a permanent sanctuary for communism in Cuba.

The Republicans said they would oppose any U.S. guarantee that Fidel Castro's Cuban government would be protected from Western Hemisphere harassment. In agreeing Sunday to pull his missile bases out of Cuba, Soviet Premier Khrushchev told President Kennedy in a message, "I regard with respect and trust your statement that no attack will be made on Cuba, that no invasion will take place, not only by the U.S.A. but also by other countries of the Western Hemisphere, as your message pointed out." MESSAGE QUOTED Kennedy had messaged Khrush- chev a day earlier that the United States would agree "to give assurances against an invasion of Cuba. I am confident that other nations of the Western Hemisphere would be prepared to do likewise." Kennedy also told Khrushchev that the U.S.

blockade offensive arms shipments to Cuba would be lifted when arrangements had been worked out through the United Nations to ensure the removal of the missile bases. The White House announced Monday night that the blockade would be lifted for two days, starting Tuesday, during the Havana visit of Acting U.N. Secretary General Thant. Sen. Kenneth B.

Keating, R- N.Y., who contended weeks ago that the Soviet arms build-up was offensive and not defensive as the Kennedy administration then maintained, said he is disturbed about the terms of possible settlement. "We must be very wary about any pact which will tie our hands in preventing the spread of communism to other countries in the Caribbean," he said. Sen. Hugh Scott, said in a separate interview he interprets the Cuban developments as "a victory over Khrushchev, but not over Castro." "The President's blockade got the right reaction from Russia," he said. "But Castro still retains the ability to export revolution.

I think our Latin-American neighbors will be deeply concerned if there is any guarantee that Cuba will never be invaded." OPPOSES CONCESSION Sen. Barry Goldwater, called on Kennedy to avoid any concession "which would have the effect of making Castro communism a permanent fixture in the Western Hemisphere." He said that if the missile bases and other offensive weapons are removed, "such action would merely return us to the status quo that existed before the Soviet build-up began." 'Complete Tag' Ready for Runway At Foss Field Only a few days of minor work remain before the "complete tag" is placed on the combined new and ad rehabilitated northeast-southwest runway at Joe Foss Field, Col. H. G. Woodbury Jr.

said in Omaha. Woodbury, Omaha District chief of Army Engineers, said Komatz Construction St. Peter, accomplished the construction despite some of the worst weather odds on record. Due to heavy spring and summer rains, little more than a month out of the 165-day construction period was suitable for grading, pouring and leveling the asphalt paving and concrete, Woodbury explained. Under the contract, the main runway was enlarged by 1,800 feet of new concrete extensions and the original runway was overlaid by 4 to 8 inches of asphaltic concrete providing a smooth runway surface of 9,000 feet.

The runway will serve the Air National Guard's fighter jets as well as commercial and private planes. In addition to work under contract with the Corps of Engineers, jet-arresting barriers, were built at each end of the runway by the Air National Guard. The Federal Aviation Agency will contribute the approach lights and a strobe beacon system to guide incoming planes at night. The Komatz Co. also removed trees and trimmed tops of others in the southwest approach area and in the Elmwood Golf Course at the airfield's western edge.

Firemen, Students Battle WARRENSBURG, Mo. (AP)Several hundred Central Missouri State College students got into a row with firemen at the scene of a small fire Monday night. The trouble started with a fire in an electric motor at a coin laundry near the campus. "The students got in our way and we had to push them back to get to the fire," Fire Chief C. R.

Copas said. "We ordered them to disperse, then they started throwing rocks and firecrackers." A fire truck was dented and a water gauge was broken. Two firemen were hit by rocks. Firemen turned three small hoses on the students, who fled. Four students were jailed on charges of disorderly conduct.

Chinese Drive Into India Slowing Down NEW DELHI, India (AP)-Indian forces laid down a barrage of mortar fire and launched probing stabs Tuesday as the Red Chinese drive showed signs of slowing down--at least temporarily. Battles appeared to be shaping up in the Himalayas as both sides poured in reinforcements. For the first time, the Defense Ministry told of Indian forces using mortars and holding their own against the Communists. The only setback reported Tuesday was loss of one small military outpost on the Tibetan border in the center of the North East Frontier Agency. CONFIDENCE REVIVED With American and British weapons to be rushed here by air, a feeling of confidence swept the nation and shook it out of the despair created by a series of retreats since the Communists launched their offensive Oct.

20. Major battles appeared to be shaping up near the Buddhist monastery town of Towang and at Walong, 250 miles to the east near the Burma border. Strong Indian forces were being rushed to the Se Pass to try to blunt a Chinese threat to the thickly populated Assam plains. Informed sources said the Indians recaptured Jang, four miles east of Chinese-held Towang, which put them in a better position for defense of Assam. TOWN THREATENED Near the Burmese border, the Chinese were reported still on the outskirts of Walong.

On the Ladakh front, 1000 miles to the west, the Indian government acknowledged the fall of Demchok and nearby Jara Pass to the Chinese Saturday. A government spokesman said it was by and large untrue that Indian troops fighting in 3-mile altitude on the Ladakh front were inadequately clothed against winter. The government conceded that the troops there and elsewhere lack sufficient rapid-fire (Continued on Page 2, Col. 5) S.F.

(AP)-Amy Otis Earhart, 95, mother of a aviatrix Amelia Earhart, died Monday in a nursing home. Her daughter vanished with navligator Fred Noonan near Howland Island in the south Pacific during a round-the-world flight in 1937. Muriel Morrissey, a daughter with whom Mrs.

Burke U.S. Halts Air Watch For 2 Days WASHINGTON (AP) -The United States aerial surveillance of Cuba, as well as its arms blocklade, has been stopped for the two days during which Acting U.N. Secretary General Thant is conferring in Havana. Arthur Sylvester, assistant secretary of defense, announced at al Pentagon briefing shortly before noon the temporary suspension of the aerial surveillance.

The blockade had been suspended at dawn. "We are not continuing surveillance today," Sylvester said, then added that it was suspended for the two days of Thant's meeting in Havana. Thant left New. York this forenoon for the critical negotiations in Cuba with Premier Fidel Cas- tro. Sylvester had no report on the results of aerial reconnaissance flights carried out by U.S.

planes Monday. But he had a further explanation of the delaying in analyzing the reconnaissance photographs. He said he had talked this morning with top officials in charge of analysis of the pictures. Sylvester said he now could say: "Analysis of aerial pictures entails a meticulous review of the material disclosed and a painstaking comparison of that material with previously obtained material in order to obtain accurate findings. One has to be careful about making conclusions because there are certain evaluation procedures to be observed in order to insure accuracy of the results obtained.

"All of this takes time, despite published reports to the contrary. "In addition, the time since Chairman Khrushchev's message of Sunday morning is too short to allow us to expect conclusive evidence." Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev promised in that message that Soviet missile bases in Cuba would be dismantled. NOT KNOWN Sylvester would not elaborate, but the meaning of his statement seemed to be simply that the Defense Department does not yet know whether dismantling work has been started. He was asked by a reporter if the United States were not taking a chance in suspending surveillance for two days. Sylvester replied that "every move that has been taken has been taken with consideration of all cies." He was also asked about the disclosure Monday night by an informed government source two Soviet submarines had been detected and had surfaced in the (Continued on Page 2, Col.

(AP) -U Thant, United Nations acting secretary-general, arrived in Havana Tuesday for conferences with Cuban officials. The United Nations announced the acting secretary-general's touchdown in Cuba 3 hours 7 minutes after his departure from New York in a chartered jet plane. Thant said his mission was dedicated to "a speedy and peaceful solution" of the situation which brought a crisis between the Unitled States and the Soviet Union.

He offered this comment at Idlewild Airport in New York as he departed. THANT OPTIMISTIC It was in response to a single question as to whether he was confident of the success of his mission. "I am looking forward to a fruitful exchange of ideas with Cuban Premier Fidel Castro and other Cuban leaders with a view to achieving a speedy and peaceful settlement of the problem," he said. Thant was accompanied by a U.N. team as he left to set up machinery for a U.N.

check to make sure Soviet Premier Khrushchev keeps his pledge to U.N. Bid by Red China Rejected UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (AP) -Red China suffered a resounding defeat today when the General Assembly rejected its latest U.N. membership bid by a bigger margin than a year ago. The vote was 42 in favor, 56 against and 12 abstaining.

Last year, the result was 36 for, 48 against and 20 abstaining. In both cases it was far less than the required two-thirds majority. The main switch was among some of the new African members. The vote was seen as a big victory for the Western powers who had strongly opposed the seating of Red China. They argued that the Peiping regime' military action against India demonstrated its unfitness for membership.

At the last minute, some of the African countries came out for a two-China plan under which both Red China and the Chinese Nationalists would get U.N. seats. They declined, however, to make a formal proposal. The vote was on a Soviet resolution calling for the ouster of the Chinese Nationalist delegations from all U.N. organs and the seatof delegations representing lines China.

India, as expected, voted for the Soviet resolution in spite of Indian charges that the Chinese Communists were carrying out premeditated aggression against Indian territory. remove Soviet missile bases from Cuban soil. In preparation for his trip, Thant held another round of talks Monday with top diplomats of the United States, Soviet Union and Cuba. The way for Thant's visit was smoothed by the White House announcement that at the secretarygeneral's request it would lift the U.S. naval blockade during his stay.

Thant released letter he sent Khrushchev Sunday expressing belief the situation in the Caribbean area would be normalized when the missiles are pulled out and the bases dismantled. Thant still faced the ticklish job of winning Prime Minister Fidel Castro's approval for the U.N. inspection procedure worked out in conjunction with U.S. and Soviet officials. CONVEYS PLEDGE CONVEYS PLEDGE Informed sources said Thant got President Kennedy's permission to convey to Castro the PresiIdent's pledge: not to invade Cuba.

The United Nations announced there had been a new exchange between Thant and Kennedy but declined to disclose the contents. U.N. sources said Thant wanted his mission smoothed as much as possible by the removal of controversial irritants such as the arms blockade. There was no indication in information released here that anyone had suggested to Thant that he ask the White House to remove the blockade.

Patrick's Roman Catholic church after, police said, he fatally stabbed the housekeeper and seriously wounded her sister. After shooting the burglar, the priest, the Rev. Stephen O'Donnell, 49, tackled him and held him on the floor until police arrived. Police identified the burglar as Larry Vernon, 22, of San Antonio, Tex. They said he broke into the rectory and invaded the firstfloor room where the two sisters, Betty Walsh, 44, and Peggy 36, a cook at the rectory, were asleep.

The sisters ran from the bedroom and shouted to awaken Father O'Donnell and the Rev. Daniel Holihan, who were asleep on the second floor. Vernon, carrying two knives, stabbed the older sister twice and slashed at the younger woman. Betty Walsh fell dead at the foot of the rectory stairs and her sister collapsed on the stairway. Father O'Donnell, pastor of the West Side church, and Father Holihan told police they saw Vernon ransacking the living room.

Father O'Donnell, who had obtained a pistol when he heard the screams, fired once, hitting Vernon in the left leg. Vernon was held under guard in the Cook County Hospital. FOOTBALL SPIRIT BLAMED Dorm Housing Meredith Pelted by Firecrackers OXFORD, Miss (AP)-Univer-Meredith," sity of Mississippi students bombarded the dormitory of James H. Meredith with firecrackers into the wee hours Tuesday. It was the most serious incident since the bloody when the 29-year-old Negro enrolled four weeks ago.

The Army alerted an extra platoon of white-helmeted military police but did not use them. Student leaders, faculty members and Army officers attributed the explosive campus feeling to Mississippi's coming football game with Louisiana State. STUDENTS ROUTED No arrests were made, but the MPs chased students away from Baxter Hall, the ivy-coated dormitory where Meredith has a tworoom apartment. About 200 students peppered the walls of Baxter Hall with cherry -small firecrackers which make a tremendous noise. Some were hurled by slingshots.

Student affairs Dean L. L. Love continually appealed to students to disperse and by 2 a.m. the campus was quiet. "They're taking their feelings out about the football game on One question being raisedwhether the Soviet rocket technicians in Cuba will be sent homepresumably is among the matters presently in negotiation.

Thant is going at the invitation of Castro who a week ago loudly rejected the idea of any U.N. observers in Cuba. The Cuban leader apparently backed down after Khrushchev reversed the Soviet position on the missile bases. Observers predicted that Thant's mission is successful, the U.S. blockade would not be imposed again.

Accompanying Thant on his mission are Raul Primelles, deputy chief of Cuba's U.N. mission; Omar Loutfi of the United Arab Republic, a U.N. undersecretary for special political affairs, and Hernane Ravares de Sa of Brazil, undersecretary for public information. MAY STAY IN CUBA Informed sources said Loutfi probably would remain in Cuba (Continued on Page 2, Col. 3) R.

The intense rivalry between the schools, both perennial national football powers, has made the contest a natinal classic in recent years. Army officers asked the aid of campus police in quelling the disturbance, but Dean Love said they were insufficient in number to handle any major disturbance. ARMY ASKS HELP Officers said they did not want to have soldiers act against students unless it became necessary. Monday night's incidents started while Meredith was dining in the campus cafeteria. One cherry bomb was thrown into an MP jeep, scattering three soldiers.

A barrage of firecrackers continued and the soldiers and two federal marshals raced into the crowd with drawn night sticks. The students, jeering and yelling, retreated.
