THI SUM January 4, Wl 3 Kennedy Shifts Base From Florida to N.Y. PALM BEACH, (UPI) -President-elect John F. Kennedy prepared to shift his headquarters today from Florida to New York where he will be kept fully informed on the breakoff of Cuban- American diplomatic relations. The a Department was careful to let Kennedy know in advance of President Eisenhow- 1 cr's decision to sever formal diplomatic relations with the Fide! Castro government of Cuba. The State Department informed Dean Rusk, who will be secretary of stale in the Kennedy cabinet, and Rusk telephoned the news to the President-eject in Palm Beach.

Rusk is being kept abreast of developments in the Cuba crisis by the Stale Department. Kennedy has a conference vith Rusk tentatively set for late Friday in Washington. Kennedy, who flew to Palm Beach Dec. 16, was scheduled to leave for York at 2 p.m. EST aboard Eastern Airlines jet flight due at Idlewild Airport about 4:20 p.m.

EST. On arriving at his suite in the Carlyle Hotel late today Kennedy was scheduled to confer with Robert S. McNamara. secretary of defense in his incoming cabinet. But for the present he had no to make on the Cuba situation.

There was no indication that he would say anything about it before he has a chance to study the matter -in detail with Rusk and other advisers. During tile recent political can paign, Kennedy advocated United States encouragement of anti- Castro, pro Democratic forces, and he was critical frequently of Eisenhower administration, foreign policy for not preventing Cuba's defection to the Communist sphere of influence. In the light of his campaign position, it was not expected- that Kennedy would be inclined toward an immediate public appraisal of Eisenhower's action in severing diplomatic relations. If he felt critical of current handling of the Cuban crisis, he would not want to say so with the inauguration a little more than two weeks away. And a statement of approval would have to wait some thorough study and consultation with Rusk.

The conference in New York late today with McNamara and the meeting late Friday in Washington with Rusk were set before Eisenhower broke otl with Cuba. Pierre Salinger, Kennedy's press secretary said the meetings originally were intended primarily, to canvass prog- ess in organization of the new staffs of the two 11 Tuesday night Kennedy named Charles J.

"I found braceros living in utter squalor."

The New York congressman also said lie hoped to raise the SO per cent an hour minimum wage for braceros, without tampering with the prevailing wage requirement for domestic workers now in the law. But Santangeio said his main attack will he on the use of braceros in subsidized crops--chiefly cotton.

(Sun Staff Photo) World Production of Major Crops Sets Record in 1960 WASHINGTON (UPI) The world aggregate production of major crops set a new record in 1960-61.

according to the Foreign Agricultural Service "(FAS). Production during the current season exceeded that of 1959-60 by about 3 per. cent a the previous record of 1958-59 by 1 per cent. Total production of major crops, when valued 1 at average 1952-54 world prices, was 23 pet- cent above the 1952-54 average. World population rose slightly more than 15 per cent in the same period.

FAS said the record output in 1960-61 was highlighted by the continued marked increases in production of corn, barley, sugar, tobacco, castor beans, and tea. All these rose substantially above previous records. Rice, cotton, -cottonseed, rapeseed, sisal, and henequen were slightly above previous records. Wheat, potatoes, flax-seed, soybeans, and most fruits, were somewhat above 1959-60 levels but below previous records. Coffee was the only major crop with a sharp reduction decline from 1D59, but even so the 1D60-61 crop was the second largest on record.

Greatest increases in production were in North America, where the crop condilions were generally favorable in most areas. In western Europe, production was significantly above the level of 1959-60 when drought cut output in most of northern Europe. In easlern Europe and in the Soviet Union, 1980-61 production was below last year's. Late season damage to Russian crop reduced yields. Adverse weather aiso retarded Red China's crops, and production is believed to have been below the 1959-60 level.

Other areas of Asia, particularly Japan, Ihe Philippines, and Turkey a marked increases in output. In a countries in soulhwesl Asia produclion was reduced by drought for the third successive year. Latin American production in 1960-61 was about the same as last year's, with increases in Uruguay and most of the northern countries of South America offsetting declines in -Argentina, Chile, and Mexico. Oceania's production was increased to high levels in 1960 by the record Australian wheat crop. Walter C.
