(AP) The N. General Assembly headed for a vote today on Cuba's bid for immediate assembly debate on the Cuban charge that the United States plans an invasion against Fidel Castro's regime.

Diplomats predicted the 99-na-tlon forum would hand the Cubans and their Soviet bloc backers a strong rebuff by sending the Cuban complaint to the assemblys political comrrlittee first. That was the procedure recommended by the assemblys steering committee. Cuba and the Communist-bloc countries held the floor in Mondays opening round before the assembly with new claims that Castros government stands in peril of a massive invasion engineered by the U.S. government Silence UonapirmcyT Neither the United States nor any of its supporters took the rostrum, prompting Bulgaria to hint at a possible conspiracy of silence. Later a U.S.

Cuban Foreign Minister Raul Roa spoke for more than an hour in an attack that ranged from shots at the U.S. presidential candidates to a claim that the weekend visit of 1,450 U.S. Marines to the Guantanamo naval base as a clear act of provocation.

(AP) The Alabama Education Association will ask the Legislature for a $60 million Increase in school appropriations next year, says an official of the AEA. Dr. C.

P. Nelson, secretary of the AEA, outlining plans to press for a boost in school appropriations, added in an obvious reference to this years proration: It is the states responsibility to pay the appropriations in full. Nelson made his remark in a speech before a session of the Alabama Association of School Administrators convention here Monday. We havent met fully at the state level the responsibility to school administrators. The state never has appropriated what it should provide tor public education, he said, and as a result Alabama school systems are forced to walk to the brink.

Now the state must decide whether to move into the space age or stay in the horse and buggy days, he said. An AEA brochure circulated at the meeting showed that the organization got 82 per cent of its requested appropriation from the Legislature last year an annual appropriation of $102,079,000 after a request for $124,480,000.

The archbishop, protesting that he had been dragged into the 1960 political picture, made no direct mention of the fact Sen. Kennedy is a Catholic. But he said: I am trying to find out what we have to do to convince people that a Catholic merely by the force of his faith should be and is bound to be an honorable, loyal and faithful citizen of the country Cardinal Cushing said.

I received this morning and I have here in my pocket an editorial written by a high authority in a branch of the Masonic order. (See ARCHBISHOP. Page 2) NEW YORK (AP) A city newspaper blackout was averted today when negotiators worked past a midnight strike deadline and pounded out a tentative agreement on a new two-year $7 package increase. The proposed contract still needs approval by the memberships of New York Newspaper Guild units. Involved are 6,000 Guild editorial, business and maintenance department employes.

The picture was far from clear at two of the citys seven major dailies. No agreement has been reached at the Post. The Guilds unit council at the Times says it will present the proposal to its membership without recommendation. Guild unit councils at the Jour-nal-American, the Daily News, the Mirror, the World-Telegram Sun and the Herald Tribune Said they would recommend acceptance. The contract calls for a $4 average package increase the first year, with $3.50 in wage hikes and 50 cents for pension or welfare purposes.

In the second year, there would be a $2.50 pay increase and 50 cents for pension or welfare.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala.

(AP) Former Republican Senator William F. Knowland says the South may possibly elect the next president. Knowland carried his campaign for the Nixon-Lodge ticket into Alabama Monday, speaking at Montgomery and twice at Huntsville. He made essentially the same address each time, and said he believes the Republican ticket will win, but it will be the closest election since 1916. The former senator from California forecast a presidential election so close that any one of number of Southern states could make the difference.

The states he believes could possibly vote Republican were listed as Texas, Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee and if the situation continues to improve, Alabama." Knowland told about 200 persons at a Republican dinner in Huntsville Monday night that international communism would test an administration under John Kennedy, the Democratic nominee, much more than it would one under Richard Nixon, the Republican nominee. He said the Nixon-Lodge policies "are firm and are known to the Communists. Knowland declared that he believes the best hope of maintaining peace is to maintain a strong America.

Many Democratic leaders are running and hiding when they see the Kennedy-Johnson people coming, Vardaman declared.

Montgomery Mayor Earl James (See TIMES, Page 2) Definite Progress Shown For Appeal But Some Workers Still Lagging Opelika Paper Puts Okey On Kennedy OPELIKA, Ala. (AP) The Opelika Daily News has endorsed Sen. John Kennedy for president though mentioning the faults which we recognize and oppose in the Democratic Partys 1960 platform and ticket. The newspaper, Democratic since its origin 56 years ago, said in an editorfal Monday that.

Kennedy "in our opinion has proved his case in the campaign that he is capable of leading this nation forward. Nixons campaign, on the other hand, the newspaper said, offers refuge mainly to those who are lulled into thinking more of self and status quo than of this nation's responsibilities and obligations." As to the Democratic platform, the News said: We are frank to state, however, that if we felt that we had an acceptable alternative to the faults which we recognize and oppose in the Democratic Partys 1960 platform and ticket, that we would seriously consider it. But try as hard as we could and we did we could not convince ourselves that Richard M. Nixon and the Republican Party gave us that acceptable alternative we were searching for.
