BELFAST (UPI) A Protestant threat of more barricades today prompted British authorities to create a public protection agency to combat intimidation against Roman Catholics living in mixed areas. A government spokesman said the agency would be open around the clock to hear complaints from people fearing sectarian harassment. Sporadic gunfire broke out several times during the night and early today in West Belfast and army patrols reported two men wounded. A military spokesman troops came under fire in at least five of the 17 shooting incidents, but no one was hurt. Catholics also reported increased intimidation of families living in areas inhabited by both Protestants and Catholics.

The Catholics cited an increased number of such incidents with the approach of the July 12 anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne, a Protestant holiday. Catholic spokesmen also condemned Protestant plans to extend barricaded areas of Belfast and said it could only increase fears of Roman Catholics living in predominantly Protestant areas of the city. The Parliamentary Ulster Defense Association (UDA) said Wednesday it will establish another Protestant so-called "no go" barricaded sector in Belfast this weekend as another prot zt against British army toleration of similar "no go Castro Given Warm Welcome After Long Tour MIAMI (UPI)-Cuban mier Fidel Castro received a I massive welcome today on his return to Havana from a two- month tour of Africa, Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union.

A UDA spokesman said temporary barricades would go up in other areas of Belfast weekend and in one unspecified area they would be permanent. The statement said that after the weekend, the UDA would observe a 14-day "peace and grace" period to allow the July 12 parades by the Protestant Orange Order to proceed. Such celebrations, marking the victory of Protestant forces led by King William III in 1690 have in the past set off some of the worst fighting between Roman Catholics and Protestants.

The army said a patrol came under sniper fire early today in the Protestant Springmartin Estate. The soldiers did not return the fire but later reported more gunfire which they said they presumed to have been aimed into the adjacent Roman Catholic Bally murphy district.

"The pilots will be shown through the spacecraft, but any activity in that area probably would be a couple of flips of the hand control," said Glynn S. Lunney, head of the U.S.

portion of the project. The controls of the Russian Soyuz spacecraft are opposite those of the American Apollo spacecraft, and cosmonauts have had trouble flying the spacecraft in simulators at the Manned Spacecraft Center. Astronauts said they probably would have the same problem in the Russian ships. Lunney, director of the Apollo-Soyuz test project, said U.S. space officials will propose that the American spacecraft be launched 16 to 40 hours ahead of the Russian ship, because the Apollo is capable of orbiting the earth for 12 days, while the Soyuz can orbit only five days with one day of reserve.

The proposal will be made during the next two weeks, during meetings with a 25- member Russian delegation, he said. The meetings start today.
