4 0 Being Organized Into Military Units SOVIET TECHNICIANS NEW BAR TO CRISIS SOLUTION By STEWART HENSLEY WASHINGTON officials said Saturday that several thousand Soviet "technicians" still in Cuba are being organized into regular military units for reasons as yet unclear to intelligence analysts here. The development was being watched with increasing concern because it could balloon into another sticking point in the efforts to solve the Cuban crisis by diplomatic negotiations. Officials said the Russian "technicians" remaining on the island, estimated at approximate- ly 4,000, were "looking more like regular soldiers every day." There were indications they were being formed into groups "of approximately battalion strength. Meanwhile, it appeared to diplomatic authorities that President Kennedy may have set some of deadline for Soviet Premier Nifcita Khrushchev to give definite assurances that he intends to remove the Soviet jet bombers still in Cuba. This was described by top officials as being the key issue holding up consideration of all other aspects of the problem.

The White House continued its silence on Cuban developments. However, officials said that Kennedy, in scheduling a "live" radio-television news conference for Tuesday evening at 6 p.m. EST, obviously expected to have some sort major news on Cuba for American public. the It could be an announcement that Khrushchev had agreed to pull out the 1L28 twin-jet bombers without attaching unacceptable conditions. Or it could be a declaration that the United States was being forced take tougher petroleum for Cuba--because the Soviet leader had not come to terms.

Officials were frank to acknowledge that they had no clear idea yet why the Russians remaining in Cuba were being formed into military type groups. There were about (3,000 Soviet technical personnel in Cuba at the i Khrushchev began pulling out his 42 medium range missiles. Officials said some 2,000 appeared to have left since, some of them accompanying the rockets. U.S. officials still listed the L7t.UI.

The Beavers took eager advantage of early Parkersburg mistakes -to strike for four touchdowns in the first half.

Disibbio touched off the explosion in the game's early moments with a 68- yard punt return down the sidelines. Parkersburg, which actually had the ball for 46 running plays to scored in each of the last two quarters on passes of 3 and 13 yards from quarterback Bob Bays to end Gary Virden.

A crowd hardly settled into its seats before Disibbio's first scoring dash. But i i minutes, Bluefieid again was in business on the Parkersburg- 28 after a partially blocked Big Reds punt went just 4 yards.

It was the 21st consecutive win in two years for the Rangers who took command early and did not let up until the final buzzer. Smith scored on runs of six, 52 and 14 yards and did 'a magnificent job of faking the stunned Blue Hawk defense. He teamed with halfback Don McGuire to put on a two-man show and run up a 19-0 halftone lead.

Sophia managed to trim the margin to 19-7 in the third period when Keith Hartsog plowed over from the one, but that was one of the few times Sophia fans had something to cheer about.

The Blue Hawks began a slow march, gaining to the 43, where a situation-changing bobble set up the, first Rainelle score. Fullback Doug Basham moved around his own right end and and broke into the clear but was caught from behind on the Rainelle 47 and fumbled. After kicking off and holding Sophia on downs, the Rangers got their forces rolling again on their own 30.

Smith executed a beautiful pass to McClung who lateraled to Tim Hanley. The play picked up a first down on Sophia's 41. A 15-yard penalty set the Rangers back to their own 45 but two plays later Smith broke to the outside, faked blockers and raced 52 yards for his second touchdown, which gave the Rangers a 12-0 advantage in the first quarter.

The spokesman said there were heavy casualties on both sides and that fierce fighting was still raging in the area where a Chinese breakthrough would imperil the borders of Burma 25 miles away and India's rich Assam Valley and the Digboi oil fields 80 miles to the south.

Clay's wall-climbing performance not only stunned the Communists but also amazed West Berliners who had never seen a tourist scramble up the wall, let figures. The 65-year-old hero of the Berlin blockade cft'ose a spot for his feat opposite the Brandenburg gate where the Communists had taken pains to make their wall especially high and wide. He jumped against the' wall, took a toehold in it and then pulled himself all the way until his chin covered the crest of the wall. What he saw was a chilly, misty, unfriendly looking Soviet sector and two Red guards staring at him in disbelief. The guards nervously grabbed their tear gas grenades.

But instead of hurling the grenades at Clay, the guards turned around to hide their faces from Western photographers, who poked their cameras over the wall alongside the retired general. Clay, who saved the city with the Berlin airlift during the 194849 Soviet blockade and who ordered American tanks to the wall last year, returned to Berlin Saturday for the second time since he resigned May 8 as President Kennedy's on-the-spot representative in Berlin. Cuban UN Attache Among 3 Arrested NEW YORK (UPI) Fast moving federal authorities Saturday smashed a ring of pro-Caslro Cubans who allegedly planned a widespread sabotage-terror campaign through two states with explosives supplied by the Cuban mission to the Urn led Nations. The FBI arrested three leaders of the campaign --including a newly arrived attache to the Cuban IL N. mission who carried a pistol and "secret explosive formulas," Agents said the attache tried to Agents said 10 members of their sabotage and espionage "school" had been subpoenaed by a New York grand jury that will hear evidence of what a U.S.

attorney called plans to use explosives against "men, women and children." Two other members of the Cuban United Nations mission took part in the conspiracy but could not be arrested because of diplomatic immunity, agents said. At the United Nations, the United States demanded the immediate recall by Cuba of the two Cuban diplomats and told Cuba the attache was being held for prosecution under U.S. law. Agents said the plotters' plans to set off bombs and explosives in New York department stores across the Hudson River in New Jersey were ready to be put into effect. "It was a question of moving in before they had a chance to use the equipment," said John Malone, assistant director in charge of the FBI office here who helped lead the raids that also upturned a cache of explosives and weapons.

The President picked his brother, Atty.

Gen. Hobert F. Kennedy, to be chairman. The attorney eral already has made a preliminary study and turned in a report that favors the new program. The attorney general envisioned it as a method for giving Americans of all ages a chance to answer the President's challenge ia his inaugural address to ask what they can do for their country.

Robert Kennedy said: "We need to offer visible avenues for service to these people." Robert Kennedy's report proposed that the national service corps be open to all persons from high school graduates to retired people, with a one-year term of voluntary enlistment, compared with two years for the present Peace Corps. Volunteers would get enough pay to cover living expenses and would receive a small sum in addition at the end of their enlistments. In addition to Robert Kennedy, the committee will consist of Secretary of Labor W. Willard Wirtz, Secretary of Welfare Anthony J. Celcbrezze, Secretary of the Interior Stewart L.

Udall, Peace Corps Director Sargent Shriver, Budget Director David Bell and Housing Administrator Robert C. Weaver. Kennedy asked the committee specifically to look into the size, training requirements and costs of setting up a volunteer service corps. He asked it to assess also what sort of response would be forthcoming to an opportunity to enlist, and to say what the objectives should be. how the program should be administered, and how it would fit in with operations of state and local agencies.

As the attorney general viewed it. the projected new service corps could play an important role in helping states and communities in slum schools, recreation centers, mental hospitals, Indian reservations, migrant labor camps and correctional institutions.
