Nixon, Kennedy Hit Domestic Issues Bay Parents Ha ppTy Secretary Freed i KERR URGES ALUMNI TO BACK PROP. 4 BERKELEY, Sept. 17-Unl-versity ol California Presi 2-B Oakland Tribune, Saturday, Sept. 17, 1960 MM MB(j IBM MMMMMMMaaMIPMaaaa 'Pea le Group' Head Reveals Himself flippy -m By the Associated Press gested heavy shipment of surplus foods to the hungry people of the world afrd the is much they could do to implement and consolidate gains that would be detrimental to the liberties of our country. "They've carried on for manv vears rampaigns of va The apartment, of Nordio, who lives in the same building as.

Mrs. Lennox, "Was, raided after constant obsefja-tion. Police found Bhmet, Taranske and Carswell iathe apartment. Raiders also found tape recordings and transmitting equipment as well as-ihe key to Mrs. Lennox's apartment.

NABBED AT POME Mrs. Lennox was arrested in her apartment and Nordio later was picked up in Ue company of Neet. Cuba has charged seven Americans including a blonde U.S. Embassy secretary from San Francisco with operating a spy ring and ordered four of them expelled from the country. Marjorie Lennox, 26, the American Embassy secretary and daughter of Mr.

and Mrs. Fred E. Augustiny of Sari Francisco, was released last night after having been held for 40 hours in Havana. Mrs. Lennox was taken to the suburban home of Ambassador Philip Bonsai after her release yesterday afteM noon.

THREE OTHERS The three to be expelled with her were identified as Mario Nordio, his wife, Mary, and Robert L. Neet, another U.S. Embassy employee. The rest were identified as Eustace Dan Brunet, Ed-mundo K. Taranske and Daniel L.

Carswell. Charges against them have not been specified but the Cuban police say they are "technicians specializing in monitoring and recording," according to Associated Press dispatches from Havana. When the news of Mrs. Lennox' release was received at the Augustiny home at 1273 28th San Francisco, her relieved parents said ihey were "most delighted that it has come to a happy ending and we feel it's answered the prayers of all of us. 'IMMEDIATE SUPERIOR Augustiny indentified Neet as the Embassy's commercial attache ana "my daughter's immediate superior." A note sent by the Cuban Foreign Ministry to the U.S.Embassy sad President Oswalds Dort-icos" personally ordered the release and expulsion of both Mrs.

Lennox and Neet. The note was signed by Foreign Minister Raul Roa. It said the revolutionary government of Cuba "expresses its most energetic protest for repeated espionage, conspiratorial and subversive activities" carried out by North American citizens in ostensible connection with members of the U.S. Embassy. DANCE 'TEACHER The Foreign Ministry also implicated in the spy ring an Italian identified as Mario Nordio, a dance teacher.

The Italian Embassy said it did not know of Nordio. The Foreign Ministry gave this version of incidents leading to the arrests: Domestic issues were spot lighted today as Sen John F. Kennedy campaigned in North Carolina and Vice President Richard M. Nixon bid for votes in Iowa and Minnesota. Kennedy, the Democratic Presidential candidate, moved into the tobacco belt with criticism of Republicans on the farm issue.

He told an audience at Greenville. N.C.. that "every four years a Re publican candidate comes out for an affirmative farm pro-gramr But the Democrats, he said, have worked year after year and day after day to help the farmer. Nixon, the GOP Presidential nominee, told a breakfast meeting in Des Moines that ReDublicans have their Demo cratic opponents licked in eco nomic matters "on every index that points to progress." 'OLD AS MODEL He said all the devices and methods the Democrats would use to cross new frontiers of the years ahead are as old, as outworn, as a model 1 Ford. Former President Harry S.

Truman also took a potshot at Nixon's farm proposals during a morning walk. He told reporters Nixon is "trying to lift some of the articles of the Democratic platform and is trying to claim them." He was commenting on the speech in Iowa yesterday in which Nixon outlined part of his farm program. Today ends the first week in which both candadates have been on campaign trail simultaneously. They'll return to Washington for a Sunday rest before setting out again Monday. Kennedy, ending his second week of campaigning, scheduled stops in North Carolina at Greenville, Greensboro, Asheville, Charlotte and TOUGH BATTLEGROUND Political experts have marked North Carolina as a tough battleground.

Nixon backers say they have a good chance of adding the usually-Democratic state to their column. Nixon." the. ReDublican can didate, moves through Iowa and Minnesota today, mark ing the end of his first official campaign week (he de layed it because of an infect ed knee). The schedule in cludes an address in Sioux City, Iowa, and a speech and news conference in Minneapolis. The streets of downtown Des Moines were lined with 25,000 persons last night when Nixon arrived.

The was typical of several that greeted Nixon yesterday as he motored through Republi can Iowa. FARM VOTE PITCH At one stop, Guthrie Center, he made his big pitch for the Midwest farm vote, outlining his program to cut down the $10 billion farm surpluses. His farm audience applauded perfunctorily as Nixon sug- creation of strategic food re- servesc across trie country. But when Nixon left the farm problem and touched on foreign policy, his farm au dience -grew enthusiastic. Nixon stirred them by repeating his favorite theme: He and his running mate.

Henry Cabot Lodge, are best quali fied by experience to deal with Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev. SUCCESSFUL TOUR' Kennedy regards his motorcades through New Jersey and Pennsylvania yesterday as highly successful. After Pennsylvania, Kennedy headed into Maryland where 1,800 persons listened to him at a $100-a-plate dinner near Baltimore. In his speech, Kennedy addressed Khrushchev.

Amer ican voters are not going to be influenced by what Khrush chev does or doesn't say about either candidate in the elec tion, Kennedy said. "Perhaps you have been misled into believing that we are a divided country, or that one side favors appeasement, or that the humiliation of our President would be pleasing to his political opponents," he said to Khrushchev. "Nothing could be further from the truth." Meanwhile, Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson, the Democratic can didate for Vice President, blamed a trickle-down money policy for most of the country's ills.

In Oklahoma City, he told a Midwest Democratic conference of party leaders that the United States is in another recession and the Republicans again are to blame. U.N. to Hold Full Session In Emergency Continued from Page 1 Castro is due Sunday. Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev and several Soviet satellite chiefs will arrive Monday.

The hour for the meeting was announced over the U.N. loud speaker system less than an hour after the council vote. The Assembly is expected to get a resolution similar to the one vetoed by the Russians. A majority of the council members have insisted that, in view of the Soviet attacks on Harhmarskjold and the U.N. operations in the Congo, it is essential to "give him a vote of confidence.

Western diplomats say they are certain of a two-thirds majority for such a move. Diplomatic sources said the assembly will meet four or five hogFS tonight, all day Sunday and perhaps Monday in an effort to complete its work before the Tuesday morning opening of the regular session. Cuba Limits Travel by U.S. Envoy Continued from Page 1 ed militiamen took over the banking premises last night. Juan D.

Sanches, resident vice president A the First National City Bank, said local managers of the six Havana branches, were ordered to open the banks at 10 p.m. yesterday to the militiamen with the explanation the banks had been seized. Armed guards had been posted around the banks for some time so the actual takeover was no problem. The First National City has 11 branches in Cuba with a total of $70,000,000 in deposits and is the largest. The others have deposits of several millions.

The four employees expell ed for alleged espionage today were Mrs. Lennox, 26, who has worked as a secretary; Robert Neet, listed by the Cubans as an Embassy employee, and Mr. and Mrs. Mario Nordio. He is Italian and she is an American.

Cuba said at least two of the seven were U.S. Embassy employees and that the others were in close contact with the Embassy. It said "several of them were Italian-born U.S citizens and that the Nordios were dance teachers at the Libre and Riviera hotels. its worth re ryr44 dent Clark Kerr today urged alumni leaders to support Proposition 4Mhe measure increasing state college trustees' terms from four to eight years in the November election. He called the proposition one that would "benefit all higher education of the state." The U.C.

head said he felt the measure would assure the re cently appointed state college board continuity and give the trustees greater independence and autonomy. Kerr1 urged support for the measure at a meeting here of 125 U.C. statewide alumni leaders. Russ Envoys Lower Flag, Leave Congo Continued from Page 1 himself had countersigned the order and refused to see the Soviet envoy. For 15 minutes Yakovlev paced in front of the gate of Kasavubu's house, tugging nervously at his shock of white hair.

Finally a Kasa-vubu aide came to the gate and waved a firm "no" with both arms. His head lowered, Yakovlev got inside his late model American car flying a Soviet standard and drove back to the embassy building. The total number of eastern officials and "technicians" in the Congo has been estimated at between 400 and 500. They were moving out of the two embassies to waiting Russian- transport planes in trucks, vans and automobiles most of the morning. FLIGHT FROM CONGO Women were seated in some of the trucks carrying baggage and one truck was heaped high with documents.

The communists had been moving into the Congo with the explicit assistance 6f Lu mumba for the past month. The reports about Lumum ba's disappearance varied widely. One report said he had slipped out of his official resi dence yesterday, was arrested, then shot while trying to escape. RUMOR OF DEATH -r-- It was reported, but not confirmed, that the shooting occurred while Lumumba was being taken to prison outside Leopoldville. This version of Lumumba's fate received some support, but important.

details were lacking. Despite the rumors of Lumumba's death, fully armed troops of the "deposed', Premier's army have launched a new drive into "independent" Katanga province, the United Nations announced today. An official spokesman told, a news conference that 800 Lumumba soldiers, have crossed into Katanga from southern Kivu province and advanced to a point about 25 miles northeast of the border town of Kongolo.

PAUL, Sept. 17- (UPD The Roman Catholic Archbishop of St. Paul said yesterday that the religious issue in the Presidential cam paign should be taken with a sense ot numor.

Brady said. "There is something ridiculous about people ponderously and pious ly making propaganda dis guised in rib-shaking double talk.
