But the United States has no intention now of sending any such officers into Cuba so that the. end result of the new regulation is to erect a barrier against any direct authorized immigration of Cuban refugees until and unless the policy is changed.

The new regulation specifies that persons coming to the Unit change market reacted with vir tual panic during the morning 1 A I'. By noon, however, it had settled down to an uneasy wait-and-see attitude, with little actual trading. After an initial spurt from verbal message to the junta leaders avoided any mention of 1965 but that iU effect was to wipe out that target date by pledging U.S.

support as long as backing is needed. Before boarding a plane for the flight to Honolulu on his return to Washington, McNamara said in a cautiously worded statement, "I am leaving optimistic as to the progress that can be made during the coming year" in the fight against the Communist Viet Cong. McNAMARA, who attended a NATO ministerial conference in Paris, flew here for a two-day intensive study of the critical state of the anti-Communist war. The move followed a series of Communist victories since overthrow of the regime of the late President Ngo Dinh Diem. McNamara was far more optimistic when he visited South Viet Nam in September.

MOSCOW CP) The Soviet Un-ion sounded a sharp warning last night to African students who joined in this week's angry march on Red Square: respect our laws or get out of the country. At the same time, the Russian people learned of the demonstrations for the first time from an official source. The warning came in an announcement from the official government news agency, Tass.

"If there are people who do not like the Soviet laws and do not want to obey them, these people can leave our country at any moment," Tass declared. SEVERAL HUNDRED students from many parts of Africa stormed into Red Square Wednesday in angry outcry at the death of Edmund Asare-Addo, a Ghanaian they claimed had been knifed by a Russian. The Russian version is that he froze to death while drunk. Before the startled eyes of Russian onlookers, Africans marched up to the main gates of the Kremlin, yelling anti-Russian slogans and complaining that even in Russia where all men are supposed to be equal they faced race prejudice. Tass said sternly: "The U.S.S.R.

offers hospital-ity to all students who come to the Soviet Union to study. But this makes it obligatory for the foreign students to respect the Soviet laws." "At the same time," Tass went on, "those who want to continue their studies in the Soviet Union, who respect our laws, can always rely on the hospitality of the Soviet people." The man whose death started the rumpus was a 29-year-old medical student from Kalinin. The Africans said he had been killed because he wanted to marry a white Russian girl. They said the girl's family and friends objected because of racial prejudice. The Tass statement said there isn't any discrimination in the Soviet Union.

The story featured dynamite-carrying lady guards, whom the prisoners called "Lady Mac-beths," a "Wild West" jeep escape and a rescue plan which might well have minfired. The three Americans were Bernard Rifkin, of Montclair, N.J., a foreign aid labor adviser; Thomas M. Martin, of the Bronx, N.Y., a U.S.

information officer, and Michael A. Kristula, of Cadillac, also a U.S. information officer. PRESIDENT JOHNSON told the three that he was "delighted" to have them as White House guests. They had arrived in the capital earlier in the afternoon.

Martin told newsmen how they were seized Dec. 6, after they had gone to the area of the Ca-tavi and Siglo Veinte Mines, 150 miles south of La Paz, Bolivia, on a project to build schools for the mining community. A fourth American who was seized at the same time, Robert Fergerstrom, a Peace Corps volunteer from Honolulu, Hawaii, did not come to Washington. Fergerstrom elected to stay on the job.

The two wives were all right, Rifkin said, "but the Lady Macbeths around them were packing dynamite cans." Rifkin said that as they were being taken into custody, "a tremendous blast of dynamite went off" somewhere outdoors. "I presume it was meant to scare us," Rifkin said. "It succeeded." THE CAPTORS, particularly the lady guards, were incensed that the U.S. government would not order the hostages to give in to the demands for statements nrging the release of Pimental and Escobar. At one point, Martin said, "the Lady Macbeths cried on my shoulder, asking how the U.S.
