Shots were heard in one area. A strike of the African labor force followed up disorders in volving several thousand Afri cans last night, finally put down by police backed by white British troops. Negro agitators moved into the white suburbs of this com mercial and industrial center of 52,000 in an effort to induce African servants to quit their jobs. Many did. Some gasoline service stations usually oper ated by Negroes were staffed by white men today. Troop reinforcements were ordered into Bulawayo and Southern Rhodesia’s Premier, Sir Edgar Whitehead, came to town with a message of assur ance for white residents. He said the reinforcemens will en able more positive steps to be taken to deal with the situa tion and promised full protec tion. "We have patrols everywhere throughout the European area,” the Premier said. Southern Rhodesia forms; part of the British-run Central j African Federation, which lies! between the chaotic Congo and! the racially troubled Union of South Africa. . Bulawayo is 250 miles south west of Salisbury, the capital of both Southern Rhodesia and the federation. Other members of the federation are Northern Rhodesia and Nyasaland. Police required help from the troops last night. The Africans gathered near the site where the National Democratic Party had planned to hold a meeting. The meet- 1 ing was banned by the civil; commissioner of Bulawayo. Police, police cars and pri vate vehicles were stoned by the angry Negroes. Tear gas scattered the crowd, but it' formed again into smaller groups and continued to stone cars entering the African town ship area. Two companies of white troops moved into the township and began patrolling. Sottile, for a conference with a priest. A spokesman for the Sottile family said later the six month delay “is a ruling of the parish when a couple has been married outside the church.” Young Walsh left late Satur day to assist his father on a 10-day tour during which the! two will make television films to be used on the Dinah Shore and Pat Boone shows this fall. The Walshes' first stop was Chicago. The senior Walsh said he would not object to the church’s decree "if this is the usual procedure.” lOANNS WASHINGTON ARLINGTON ?* • 1' F-e fIE I fl *!! helps freshen air in bedroom or kitchen PURITRON 39.95 • helps remove odors and smoke from cooking • circulates clean, purified air in bedroom or recreation room or office • Puritron is portable You feel better, work better in an atmosphere rid of stale air and odors!

For the next five years Cuba has agreed to supply the Soviet Union and Red China I’/g million tons of sugar annually out of a harvest that this year is set at 5,700,000 tons. Ship- ments to other Communist countries will bring the total Cuban sugar going behind the Iron Curtain to nearly two mil lion tons a year. The Russians also have bought the 700.000 tons of sugar President Eisenhower cut ,from Cuba’s 1960 sales to the ■United States. The Castro deals with the Communists are largely on a barter basis pegged to world prices. The United States long has been Cuba’s best customer at premium prices of 2 to 2'/a cents a pound above the world market price. The Soviet Union pays the world price and Red China presumably will do like wise. Maj. Ernesto (Che) Guevara, the Red-leaning president of ! the Cuban National Bank, signed a five year pact with a Peiping trade mission Saturday night to supply Red China half a million tons of sugar a year. The terms were along the lines of the earlier agreement to send the Soviet Union a million tons a year. The Cuban-Soviet pact led to the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two coun tries. The trade agreement with Red China is expected to follow the same course, making Cuba the first nation in the Western Hemisphere to recognize the Peiping regime. The semiofficial newspaper Revolucion said Red China has invited Mr. Castro to visit Peiping, but did not say wheth- Four More Leap From Red Boat COPENHAGEN, Denmark, July 25 (AP).—A Czech couple 1 with two sons jumped over board from an East German ferry in the Baltic port of Ged ser today in the same way an other Czech family of five de j fected yesterday. As the ferry, out of Warne-: muende, entered Gedser Har-1 bor this morning, a man and woman, each carrying a boy—; one 5, one B—jumped overboard and began swimming. A pilot boat pulled them aboard. Taken to a hospital, they said they would ask for political asylum in Denmark. Police withheld their names but it is understood the man is a profes sor in chemistry at the Uni versity of Prague. The five who jumped yester day, and also sought political asylum, were a Prague engi neer, his wife, a scientist: their sons. 4 and 6, and the wife’s mother, 62. t I er he had accepted. The in ! vitation was extended person- ■ ally late Saturday by Deputy Minister of Commerce Lu Hsu- . chang, who headed the mission f that signed the trade pact. ; Revolucion added. : The pro-Castro newspaper, Prensa Libre said Mr. Castro > is spending the day somewhere t in Oriente Province, where the I seventh anniversary of his , July 26th Revolution will be ! celebrated tomorrow. He has , been seen little in public since I his recent illness. i The Castro government’s I deals with the two giants of the Communist world provide for payment mostly in machinery, l oil and other goods, with only l a small amount of cash to be ’ paid. J Red China has agreed to put , up British pounds for 20 per , cent of the Cuban sugar ship ped during the first year of the five-year agreement. Russia will ■ pay dollars 20 per cent of 1 its sugar for all five years. 1 President Osvaldo Dorticos got the celebrations under way 1 yesterday with another attack : on “Yankee imperialism.” He was accompandied by Lu Hsu- 1 chang, the head of the Peiping delegation who closed his speech with the Castro forces’ favorite cry—Cubi si! Yankees dno!” After Mr. Dorticos left .Ha vana, several shots were heard : last night in the vicinity of the presidential palace. Offi cials said a speeding car fired . on a truckload of soldiers only ,a block from the palace. ■ 4 TV Tl 4 T 9 Hurry . . . buy now for a clearer picture of big convention happenings!
