Castro: Cuba Not Bound By 1947 Rio Pad HAVANA (AP) Fidel Castro served notice Monday night his government does not feel bound by the 13-yearold Rio pact calling for concerted action by the American republics against communism.

In another of his marathon television broadcasts Castro implied remarks by Secretary of State Christian A. Herter in a'radio-TV Interview March 20 were a threat to label the Cuban government Communist and thus bring into effect the terms of the Rio pact. "We do not feel ourselves obligated to the Rio treaty," Castro asserted, "because the revolutionary government; did not sign Castro thus repudiated previous statements he made here and in the United States last year that his government would abide by all International treaties entered into by previous Cuban governments. Charging Herter said Comma- list sympathizers held high posts his government and that there was a hemisphere treaty for defense against communism, Castro "That how they threaten to bring Latin American people against us. They are threatening -to form a coalition against us.

In his interview Herter said there were Communist sympathizers high in the Cuban government, but he did not think it correct to call Cuba Communist 'at the present time." Castro's government replied in a note to the United States Friday that Herter's statements were "inexact and confusing." At no point in bis four-hour speech did Castro deny the reference to Communist sympathizers in his government. He did say: "I know of communist who has told me he is not in accord with agrarian reform or revolutionary laws. If they are in agreement, what is there to do? That isn't my fault." Columbia Raul: No Plan To Oust US At Guantanamo Base HAVANA (AP)-Armed Forces Minister Raul Castro says Cuba has no plans to oust the United States from Guantanamo naval base. He said the base can remain in eastern Cuba as long as peace continues in Cuba. Prime Minister Fidel Castro's younger brother was interviewed Monday by Robert Branson of Federated Publications, a group of Midwest publications with headquarters at Battle Creek, Mich.

Hollings said racial demonstrations which threaten the peace will result in the arrest of either pwhite persons or Negroes. He epoke at a news conference when 3 asked about recent Ku Klux Klan burnings. r.nv TT Branson said Raul Castro told hlm: "Cubans do not enjoy having Bell's Son Says He Was Nicked Bv Rifle Bullet i HOT SPRINGS W) The son of Jonas Belt testified here this morn- ting he was nicked by a bullet I fired by the man Belt is accused I of killing. i Jonas Belt 14, said on the witness stand in the fifth day of the murder trial the shot hit him I in the right leg above the knee. i The wound stung a little, the youngster said, but it left no scar.

Young Indians' Problems Are Told At Confab dieted today the group would ex- iend to other fields a major section of the House-passed oivi rights bill. Such action, if approved by the entire Senate, could drag out the already prolonged debate on civil rights legislation. Eastland told newsmen that in his Judgment the committee will vote to make a proposed ban on interference by force or threats with court orders in school deseg negation cases apply to all fed eral court orders.

These would include injunctions in labor disputes. The committee, meeting in closed session, agreed to star! voting on amendments late in the day. Debate on each amendment is to be limited to 10 minutes, with the time equally divided betwen opposing 6ide4. The. motion fixing a time to start voting on amendments 'was made by Senate Republican Lead er Everett M.

Dlrksen of Illinois. The committee is under orders from the Senate to complete its ionsidration of the bill by mid night tonight. The House passed the measure last Thursday. Eastland said he expects the committee to finish acting on amendments by 6 p.m. He expressed doubt that the 10 minutes allotted for debate on each amendment would be used in all ases.

Prank Lausche (D-Ohio) broadening the section to cover court orders of all types. Some senators attacked this as an antilabor amendment. In the end the Senate voted to strike the whole section from the bill. Adoption of this or any other amendment by the Senate would free the civil rights bill to go back to the House, where Southern opponents would have another chance to block action.

Sen ate leaders, however, reportedly have come to regard amendment of the bill as inevitable. Republican leaders called GOP senators into a' strategy meeting. Well-placed sources were predicting privately that the Senate ultimately will approve the House version after making some changes in its language. A Nfikifa Charges Master Race Myth Reviving REIMS, Prance 3. Khrushchev charged today that the master race myth is reviving and vengeance is being reborn in West Germany.

Standing less than 100 miles 'rom the West German border on traditional Invasion route from the east, the Soviet Premier told a luncheon audience: I am disturbed by the words of Konrad Adenauer hat Germany has the job of saving Europe. "We cannot accept such a theory that the Gemans are a superior race and that the others are ser vants. We must now allow ourselves to fail in an action which will pre vent the aggressor from attacking us a third time. Vengeance is being reborn in Germany." He started off mildly, saying that he wanted to live in friend ship with West Germany and had no wish to embroil Prance, with her former foes, But he swung swiftly into the theme he stressed harshly In Paris: There is a menacing rebirth, of German militarism and it is' up to the French and the Russians to join together and see it doesn't get ou of hand. Khrushchev's verbal explosion came after a morning tour of bat tlefields of World War I in th Verdun area, where nearly a half million Frenchmen died in fight ing 9ff the Germans in 1916.

At 3:15 this morning ice packs and floes began sailing over the concrete abutment of the spillway.

The overflow of the spillway a cause of both joy and concern in Mitchell deep for the residents between the dam and the Jim River, and joy for the flushing the lake is getting and for the moisture in the lands the waters signify.

Wilds said another phenomen of American is having a powerful effect on young people. More than 25 per cent of all the people in the United States live in the suburbs, he said, and the number is growing. He described suburban life as an antiseptic, segregated affair where "children find themselves in a society in which it seems all people are much like them. They do not learn to live with diversity." Because income earners go to another section of the community to earn their living, Wilds said, "the child gains an unrealistic picture of the role of work. Work is something done 'by -less fortunate people or assigned' for dis cicplinary reasons." est disappointment" to the Eisenhower administration.

Nixon encountered a local boom- let for Interior Secretary Fred Seaton as a possible running mate. Introducing Beaton at the Nixon banquet, Robert Gray, secretary to Elsenhower's Cabinet and fellow (Hastings, Neb.) townsman of Seaton, said "it's time for the Midwest to give the nation a vice president. We think the right man is Fred Seaton." Nixon, who earlier had suggested that any comments on a vice presidential nominee would be premature, made no commitment but suggested that "when he rates the Cabinet officers, Fred Seaton will be rated as one of the greatr est secretaries of the interior this nation has ever produced."

As of now, Nixon said, "the only point on which there is unanimous -agreement is that we cannot continue to tolerate programs under which surpluses of basic farm commodities continue to pile up and the prices the farmer receives continue to go down." Earlier at a news conference, (Continued from Page One) vote In the 1958 congressional race, if the sampling it accurate. In the 1956 congressional race, it was 48.8 per cent. This is nearly double their popu- ation strength of 27 per cent as reflected in the latest Bureau of tensus estimates. The study was on the basis of in ten counties scattered over the state. The same study lists the on-farm vote as predominately Democratic both elections, 56.6-43.4 in 1956 and 55.644.4 in 1958.

To show the importance of. the arm vote even in urban counties the study showed that 16 per cem of the actual vote cast in Minnehaha County were by on-farm residents. The second study, prepared by the GOP state central office, lists counties as among those with the poorest voter turn' outs in 1958. On the other nand, three strong "Democratic" counties were among the top 10 in percentage turnout. Among the 10 counties with the greatest vote potential, the Democrate were strong in three (Brown, Davison, Charles Mix) while the Republicans were strong in only one (Lawrence).

But Lawrence with barely haf of the eligible voters turning out, ranked 8th from the bottom in turnout in the state. Pennington, traditionally consid ered a strong Republican county, voted 50.8 per cent GOP in 1958. It had the poorest turnout in the state, only 37 per cent of eligible voters. Decisions do not automatically follow from such studies, of course. The observation that the GOP Dadly needs the farmer doesn't anything about htiw to win him.

Nor does the observation that Republicans seem poll-shy tell how to cure it. What about those big counties that just about broke haha, Beadle, Codington and which had relatively low turnout records?

These two studies offer much grist for the political strategy mill. But they provide only small amount of the data candidate might desire. What is the actual registration in the state, for instance.

How many independents are there? How do independents vote? What kind of people make up state's population? How many active union members are there, and how many might be expected to vote union sentiment? Do wives vote the same ae their husbands or is there a septira women's vote? Ls the education vote a bloc? solid Candidates can draw upon a 1950 census report and other federal records for some answers, and will have the fresh 1960 census next year. But digesting this data to find out where who so that the candidate can actually use it, is a laborious task. Also, state record filing regulations are such that merely determining the registration at any given time would be a monumental challenge. About the only continuing statewide probing of such matters is that done by Three South Dakota newspapers in the proven South Dakota Poll begun in 1951. This poll has also dealt with one of the most difficult of all factors to evaluate: Public attitudes on given issues.

This is the crucial question, yet the S. D. poll is the only formal system in the state attempting to answer it.
