Papal Appeal Opens Council By BENNET BOLTON VATICAN CITY (AP) Pope John XXIII today opened the second Vatican Ecumenical Council -Roman Catholicism's greatest assembly of prelates in history with an appeal for Christian unity.

The 80-ycar-old pontiff, in an: address before some 2,500 council delegates in St. Peter's Basilica, said progress had already been made toward unity. He spoke specifically of a unity of prayers and aspirations and a unity of esteem and respect. "Unfortunately," the Pope said, "the entire Christian family has not yet fully attained unity in truth. Catholic Church, therefore, considers it her duty to work actively so that there may be fulfilled the great mystery of that unity, which Jesus Christ invoked with fervent prayer from His Heavenly Father on the eve of His sacrifice.

"She (the church) rejoices in peace, knowing that she is intimately associated with that prayer, and then exults greatly at see- I ing that invocation extend its efficiency with salutary fruit even among those who are outside her fold. "Indeed, if one considers well this same unity which Christ im-! plored for His church it seems to! shine with a triple ray of ficient supernal light: namely, the unity of Catholics among themselves, which must always be kept exemplary and most firm; the unity of prayers and ardent desires with which those Christians separated from the apostolic see, aspire to be united with us: and the unity in esteem and respect for the Catholic Church which animates those who follow non-Catholic religions." He said the Ecumenical Council "prepares, as it were, and consolidates the path toward that unity of mankind." The Pope gave no direct indication of how he thought future unity might be achieved. But in the past he has made clear that he considers the way to unity is through the return of "separated brothers" to the Roman Catholic fold.

Cuban exile group which calls itself Alpha 66 announced effective it is declaring today. on all ships carrying supplies to Cuba. The announcement was made by leader Antonio Veciana, 35-year-old of the group which says it carried out a raid on Cuba's north coast Monday. He is a certified public accountant in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Veciana made the statement in a broadcast from San Juan for the American Broadcasting Co.

He said attacks will be carried out on any and all vessels, not just those from Iron Curtain. coun-1 tries. Veciana gave ABC some details on Monday's reported raid Cuban port of Isabella de Sagna, 150 miles cast of Havana. He said his force of 30 men inflicted 20 casualties on what he termed "the enemy." Veciana said the casualties included both Rus-: sians and Cubans. Ilis force, said Veciana, suffered five casualties.

He declined to say whether they were killed or wounded. Veciana said the Puerto based Alpha 66 plans to carry out another such raid within the next twa weeks and two more by the end of the month. PAR Predicts State Deficit Of $15 Million BATON ROUGE (AP; The Public Affairs Research Council predicted today a stat deficit of about $15 million at end of this fiscal year, unless unexpected revenues develop. A deficit of this size. the private rescarch said, "is not SO great it cannot be managed." However, it cautioned that the state should not allow this to build up as it did in the last two years "to the point that drastic action becomes necessary." The deficit will occur, the agency said.

"even though a major step was taken toward balancing the state's financial operations during the 1962 legislature." During that session, lawmakers cut the budget, transferred some funds and authorized a $60 million bond issue to help erase an all-; time deficit mark of $73 million al the end of last fiscal year. PAR said that when the annual oil windfall revenues began to slacken off in the late 1950's "Louisiana's financial condition began to grow tighter and tighter, for the state was spending at a rate well above its normal income." Settlement of the tidelands dispute with the federal government, PAR said, would release more than $30 million to the state treasury and could wipe out the pected deficit. Other factors which PAR said might reduce the expected deficit: -A possibility that more funds have been budgeted for the grants in aid program than will be needed. -Some spending may drop be-; low estimates, as happened in fiscal 1961-62 when welfare expenditures were under budget estimates. -The Rockefeller Wildlife Preserve Fund surplus may be larger than estimated.

-Income from oil bonuses might exceed state estimates. ORTE GO Plumbing Heating -Supplies 2404 Ryan HE 6-6034 We sell everything from repair parts to a complete job. I P.O.

EDMUND E. WOODLEY, Campgian Committee By GEORGE ARFELD HAVANA (AP) Negotiations hit a snag Wednesday night and the of 1.113 Cuban invasion prisoners was delayed again. But Prime Minister Fidel Castro ator planned James further B. talks with negoti-1961. Donovan, possibly later today or Friday.

The talks between Castro and the New York attorney were expected to end Wednesday night. But after the two met for four hours in the presidential palace, a spokesman for the Cuban prisoners' families committee said: "Certain points have to be revised and this will take two or three further meetings." There was nothing to indicate that the snag was caused by the claim of Cuban exiles that they raided the Cuban north coast port of Isabella de Sagua Monday and killed 20 persons. There has been no confirmation of the raid nor any comment on the exiles' claim in Havana. The committee's spokesman would not say what caused the hitch in negotiations but emphasized there would be further meetings, possibly today or Friday. As the negotiations dragged on, informants in Havana said Pan American Airways has offered to fly the prisoners to Miami as soon as an agreement is reached.

The prisoners were captured in the Bay of Pigs invasion in April Castro originally asked $62 million in cash for the release of all those captured. Donovan reportedly has offered medicine and food in lieu of cash. Relatives or friends have paid for the release of a few captives, and 60 sick or wounded prisoners were returned to Miami last April. Informed sources in Washington say the U.S. government will pay for a shipment of about $13 million in medicine and food to Cuba if the prisoners are released.

Funds raised by friends and relatives of the captives in the ed States and Latin American presumably will make up the remainder of the ransom demanded by Castro for their release. Any U.S. payment to Castro is expected to kick up an uproar in Congress. Sen. John J.

Williams, and Sen. John Stennis, D- told the Senate they oppose any ransom payment. JURORS RULE Trooper Insane During Holdup By BILL MERTENA The new Calcasieu parish grand jury has apparently agreed with psychiatrists who have said a state police trooper charged with armed robbery was insane when he held up an Alamo street ery in July. Although the jurv returned a murder indictment in the only other case they considered, the group returned a "not true bill by reason of insanity" in the case: of the trooper, Charlie D. Allen, 35, of 2018 Rose street.

Allen was fired from the state State Solon Sees End to 'Pork Barrel' FARMERVILLE, La. LAP) State Sen. B. I1. 'Johnny' Rogers of Grand Cane predicted today an end to large state contracts for big contributors to Louisiana gu-.

bernatorial campaigns. "Pork barrel money that Louisiana governors have had to hand out freely to campaign contributors in the past just may not be. available any longer." Rogers told the Farmerville Lions Club. Rogers warned businessmen: not contribute your hard-' earned cash to any political didate expecting to double, triple or quadruple your money in stale Rogers said that he would not be a candidate for any state-wide office in the 1963 election. "I am working for principles not personalities," he said.

police after he was arrested and charged with the $75 holdup ol James R. Bailey, operator of Jim's Grocery at 1030 Alamo street. Both Calcasieu coroner Dr. ry Snatic and Dr. G.

R. Morin, Lake Charles psychiatrist, testified in an August lunacy hearing that they thought Allen was insane at the time the offense was committed. They said, however, that due to treatment since then he was currently sane. Allen was then ordered committed to East Central Louisiana state hospital at Jackson for further medical studies. District Attorney Frank Salter said earlier this week that psychiatrists there also thought Allen was insane when the store was held up.

Two of the Jackson trists testitied behind the closed doors of the grand jury hearing. Dr. Snatic and Dr. Morin also appeared before the jury. The murder "true was returned against Roger Jones, 46, of lowa.

lle is accused of the August 13 shooting of Ivory Simon, 29. also of lowa. Investigating Calcasieu sheriff's deputies have said Jones shot Simon as the two drank together at the Margaret Clark Cafe in Iowa, apparently climaxing a standing feud between the pair. Connie H. Ruysenaars of Lake Charles is grand jury foreman.

The group made its report to District Judge Clement M. Moss shortly before 5 p.m. Wednesday, and was released. The new jury, impaneled at 10 a.m. Monday, will serve for about six months.

The new law provides "broad reform" and flexibility in postal system salaries and puts them at a level which would help to prevent large-scale "attrition to private industry," he said. The legislative package signed into law combines two of Kennedy's major legislative proposalspay increases and salary reform for 1.6 million federal and new revenue to help run the deficit-ridden postal service. The pay section of the bill calls for two-step raises averaging 9.6 per lar" 'cent for 1 million "white colworkers, and 11.2 per cent for 600,000 postal clerks and letter carriers. The first step goes into effect next payday, the second step on Jan. 1, 1964.

Cost of the increase will be $1.05 billion. The new first class and air mail rates begin Jan. 7, 1963, but most of the second and third class increases are spread over three years, starting in January.
