Peking Implies Russia
Betrays Lenin Dogma
TOKYO, Mar. 2 (AP).—The Chinese Communists today
accused those who say war is not inevitable—Soviet Premier
Khrushchev is one—of betraying Lenin theories.
The ideological magazine Red Flag carried the second
installment of an article setting forth Peking’s stand in its
dispute with Moscow. Today’s chapter basically was devoted
to expounding the view that
war is inevitable as long as
capitalism exists.
Mr. Khrushchev first denied
this at the 20th congress of
the Soviet Communist Party
in 1956 when he proclaimed
his policy of "peaceful co
existence.” He declared that
this was the “Leninist” view,
but has found few quotes from
the founder of the Soviet state
to back him up.
Chinese Quote Lenin
Today the Chinese had no
such difficulty. Red Flag
quoted a 1905 statement by
Lenin:
"So long as society is di
vided into classes, so long as
there is exploitation of man by
man, wars are inevitable.
"This exploitation cannot be
destroyed without war, and
war is always and everywhere
begun by the exploiters them
selves, by the ruling and op
pressing classes.”
The divergence in views over
the “inevitability of war"—be
tween the Communist and non-
Communist worlds—played a
major role in producing the
present dispute between Mos
cow and Peking.
“Today,” Red Flag said,

To Aid Congo Economy
By the Aeeoclated Preu
The United States has pro
posed a broad aid program to
make the Congo a self-support
ing nation now that Katanga’s
secession is ended.
Recommendations by a
Upited States mission headed
by Assistant Secretary of State
Harlan Cleveland have been
approved by President Kennedy
and Secretary of State Rusk
and presented at the United
Nations, a State Department
spokesman said yesterday.
Figures Are Nebulous
No specific aid figures have
yet been worked out. Much de
pends on what other nations
contribute. But the spokesman
voiced hope United States as
sistance to the Congo, now
running about *l2O million a
year, soon will decrease.
Much of the outside assist
ance would continue under a
U’. N. framework in order to
help keep the cold war out of
the strategic Central African
land.
The State Department
spokesman, Joseph J. Sisco, di
rector of the Office of U. N.
Political Affairs, said the
United States already has con
tacted a number of foreign
governments in its quest for
more generous Congo contribu
tions. The Belgians, British,
Dave Beck's Term
Reduced by State
‘OLYMPIA, Wash., Mar. 2
(AP).—The Washington State
P*roie Board has lightened the
15-year prison term given to
Djtve Beck, former president ot
the Teamsters Union, for em
bezzlement?
'The board set the term at a
minimum of 2 years yesterday.
Chairman Harris Hunter said'
that means that Beck, with
tijae off for good behavior, will
be eligible for parole next Oc
tober 26.
But Beck is also serving a
5-year Federal term for filing
false income tax returns for
his union—serving the State
and Federal terms concurrently
at the McNeil Island Federal
Prison in Puget Sound. The
United States Parole Board is
not expected to interview him
about his sentence until next
December.
The embezzlemen charge
stemmed from the sale of a
union-owned automobile. Beck
was convicted of keeping *1,900

own use.

“some self-styled Leninists talk
drivel on the question of war
and peace without the least in
clination to pause and consider
how Lenin studied the question
of war. ...
“Continuation of Politics'*
“Time and again events have
confirmed Lenin’s statements
that ‘War is always and every
where begun by the exploiters
themselves’ . . and that War
is the continuation of politics
by other means.'
“Present and future realities
will continue to bear out these
truths enunciated by Lenin.
“Sihce the imperialists and
reactionaries incessantly fo
ment wars in various regions of
the world to serve their own
political ends, it is impossible
for anybody to prevent the op
pressed people and nations
from waging wars or resistence
against oppression,” Red Flag
said. ,
It also reiterated its view,
squarely contradicting Mr.
Khrushchev, that a nuclear
war “will only be the very
speedy destruction of these
monsters (imperialists) . . .
and certainly not the so-called
annihilation of mankind.”

U. S. Recommendations
The United States recom
mendations include:
Reduction in the size and an
increase in the discipline of the
Congolese national army,
through multinational outside
aid co-ordinated by the U. N.,
the Congolese government and
the aid-giving countries.
Limitation of United States
military assistance to transpor
tation of supplies.
Withdrawal of United Na
tions military forces as rapidly
as possible without leaving an
“internal security gap” before
Congolese security forces can
take over.
Efforts to Increase financial
efficiency to halt Inflation, Im
prove tax collection and put the
economy In order so it will en
courage growth.
Assurance of a minimum level
of essential Imports through
foreign aid. The United States
would continue sending surplus
foods to the Congo, would sup
ply some direct aid, mostly in
loans, and continue economic
development grants under the
U. N.
Naples Ruled
Competent
John A. Naples, whose 1961
conviction on a first-degree
murder charge was later re
versed by an appellate court,
has been held mentally com
petent to stand trial again.
District Court Judge George
L. Hart. Jr., ruled yesterday
that Naples was mentally fit
for retrial although he has re
fused to co-operate with his
court-appointed counsel.
Dr. David J. Owens, a psy
chiatrist at St. Elizabeths Hos
pital, testified that he found
nothing to indicate mental in
competency although Naples
has refused to submit to psy
chiatric and neurological ex
aminations and would not ap
pear at a staff conference ex
amination.
Another psychiatrist, Dr.
John R. Cavanagh, testified
that he believed Naples was
able to understand the charges
against him and to consult
with his attorney if he wished.
The attorney, Bernard Nord
linger, told Judge Hart that
Naples wished to conduct his
own defense and did not wish
the aid of counsel. Judge Hart
refused to release Mr Nord
linger from the defense.
Naples was tried without a
jury when he was 18 years old
on a charge of fatally stabbing
Edna Jewel, 51, on December
16, 1958.
District Court Judge Alex
ander Holtzoff found him
guilty and sentenced him to
death in March, 1961, under
the District's then-mandatory
death penalty law.
The United States Court of
Appeals in April, 1962, over
ruled the conviction and criti
cized Judge Holtzoff for allow

Publishers Asking
Delay of Increase
In Wire Rates
By th* Associated Preu
The American Newspaper
Publishers Association has
asked the Federal Communica
tions Commission to postpone
and reconsider an increase in
telegraph rates for news wires,
the association announces yes
terday.
The commission had an
nounced a decision to permit
rate increases May 1 averaging
19 per cent for press and 2.1
per cent for commercial cus
tomers. The plan would de
crease rates for Government
j users by 7.8 per cent.
Accompanying the ANPA pe
tition were sworn statements
from 19 individual newspapers
and groups of newspapers to
support the association's con-'
tention that the new rates
would “impair significantly the
widespread dissemination of
news information.”
The statements showed that
some newspapers would have
to pay 100 per cent more for
the news wires and one would
have to pay 376 per cent more.
Particularly objectionable,
the ANPA said, would be the
proposed requirement that
newspapers buy 24-hour, 7-day
service, even though in most
Instances less service is need
ed. The ANPA pointed out that
broadcast stations are per- !
mitted to lease wires for less
than 24 hours.

Aiderman Killing Probe
Reflects Chicago Life
CHICAGO, Mar. 2 (AP).-
Police shuffled today the avail
able jigsaw pieces in the murder
puzzle of Negro Aiderman Ben
jamin F. Lewis, hoping they
would click into place and re
veal his slayer.
The disorganized bits of testi
mony and rumor gathered by
60 city detectives in around
the-clock probing and question
ing so far has reflected only
the harsh facts of life in the
poverty-ridden West Side ward.
Those who talked to police
about Mr. Lewis’ life told of:
Policy racket bosses. Huge
loans to Mr. Lewis. Women
and outraged husbands. Death
threats. Financial difficulties.
No enemies.
In Chicago's latest crime
sensation, police Supt. O. W.
Wilson is quarterbacking the
investigation and Mayor
Richard J. Daley is offering a
*IO,OOO reward from the city’s
contingency fund for informa
tion leading to Mr. Lewis’
slayer.
Shot Four Times
The 53-year-old Lewis was
shot four times in the back
iof the head Wednesday night
I as be l*y face down and hand
' cuffed.
Police officials estimated the
time of death was between 8
p.m. and midnight. The body
was found on the rug behind
a desk in Mr. Lewis’ 24th ward
headquarters.
Gen. De Gaulle
Omission Hit
I I
NEW YORK. Mar. 2 (AP).— 1
Senator Keating says President '
Kennedy has “pointedly omit- :
ted” French President Charles
de Gaulle from scheduled May .
conferences on the Atlantic al
liance.
In criticizing the President ,
for this action, the New York I
Republican told a State Young 1
Republican Club audience last
night:
"There is talk of a summit
meeting with (Soviet Premier)
Khrushchev—the avowed en- '
emy of our system. One hears
no hint of a talk with De ,
Gaulle, our ally. . .
Senator Keating, a critic of i
the administration’s Cuba pol
icy, directed another barb at
the White House for leaving
Gen. de Gaulle out of confer
ences which he said will deal
with the problems and future
of the Atlantic alliance.
Pointing out that chiefs of
state of Europe will be Involved
in the conferences. he added:
“Yet the crux of the prob
lem is precisely the attitude
and actions of President de
Gaulle, as they create a new
and disquieting challenge to
the integrity—the military and
political integrity—of the grand
alliance.”
Prior to the dinner meeting,!
Senator Keating told a news
conference the administration
was giving “earnest considera
tion” to his proposals for get
ting Russians out of Cuba
Although he declined to dis
cuss his proposals in detail, he
said they were "largely eco
nomic” and laid out in a "grad
uated series of steps.”
But he said President Ken
nedy had asked him, through
John McCone, head of the Cen
tral Intelligence Agency, not to
make the proposals public st
this time because it would not
be in the public interest.

In News Strike
NEW YORK. Mar. 2 (AP).
—Negotiators for striking
printers and eight publishers
went into a week-end session
today in an effort to settle
the city’s 85-day newspaper
blackout.
Some progress was reported.
Betram A. Powers, president of
striking Local No. 6, AFL-CIO
International Typographical
Union, said eight hours of
negotiations yesterday were de ■
voted entirely to automation.
“The automation issue was
not resolved,” Mr. Powers told
newsmen, “but some progress
was made.”
Automation includes ■news
paper use of outside tape to run
typesetting machines.
Representatives of the Pub
lishers Association of New York
City had no comment as they
arrived for the meeting in the
Hotel Commodore.
Mayor Robert F. Wagner,
who has been acting as media
tor in the contract dispute, said
both sides had described yes
terday's talks as harmonious.
Macy’s to Boycott Post
In another development yes
terday, Macy’s Department
Store announced an advertis
ing boycott against the New
York Post, which will begin
publishing Monday.
A spokesman for the Post
said the paper had no comment
on Macy's announcement. The
Post broke away from the pub
lishers' ranks Thursday, leaving
eight major dailies still blacked
out.
The printers are returning to
the Post under the terms of
their old contract. A new pact
is to be worked out in bargain
ing between the union and the
newspaper.
Last December 8, the 3,000
printers struck the Times. Daily
News, Journal-American, and
World Telegram and Sun.
Shutting down in a “one struck,
all struck" stand were the Post,
Herald Tribune, Mirror. Long
Island Star-Journal and Long
Island Press. The Press con
tinues to publish editions for
suburban Long Island.
Until Mrs. Dorothy Schiff,
the Post's publisher, resigned
from the Publishers Associa
tion and announced the paper
would resume publication, a
total of 20,000 newspaper em
ployes were out of work.
The Post employs about 1.200.
A full' staff of printers went
' back to work yesterday, as well
as members of the advertising
staff and some editorial em
ployes. All employes are due
1 back by Monday.
i Cleveland Strike Continues
The four-month newspaper
black-out in Cleveland continues
against the Plain Dealer and
the Press and News. The strik
ing AFL-CIO Cleveland News
paper Guild and the independ
ent Teamsters Union have
agreed on new contracts. How
ever, three unions—the print
ers, mailers and machinists—
remain on strike, with wages
the main issue.
In New York. Macy’s said in
a statement:
“Macy's takes no position
with respect to the merits of
the current labor dispute. This
is already in the hands of Fed
eral and city mediators, and
we hope that a wise solution
can be found.
“We do feel, however, that
to support the newspaper with
our advertising when the others
are not available might put
undue pressure on them to set
tle regardless of merit. We
prefer not to do this.”
The Post had a circulation
last fall of about 336,000. For
its Monday press run, it plans
five editions rattier than its
normal eight. The first edition
is planned to reach newsstands
by 8:15 azn., an hour earlier
than usual. The last edition
is scheduled to bit the street

<AP).—Bahamas colonial au
thorities and the British Navy
collaborated today in an on-the
scene investigation of claims
that Fidel Castro's men tres
passed in British territorial
waters to kidnap two Americans
and 10 Cubans.
Colonial Secretary Kenneth
Walmsley said Bahamas police
would visit Elbow Cay—scene of
the purported kidnap—Cay Sal
and Cay Lobos today. All are

An air survey of Elbow Cay
was made yesterday, Mr. Walm

The officials acted after
Charles Ashmann, Miami, Fla.,
lawyer for the captured men,
protested to the Bahamas gov

surprise and seize men who
relied on British sovereignty
over the area to make them im
mune to attack from Cuba.

Mr. Ashmann said the men
were in the islands fishing. The

pirates, and Mr. Ashmann said
he had reports that four have

Eight of the men, Mr. Ash

men from Miami. He said they
were seized by “Cuban com

of Elbow Cay, under the mis
taken impression that the fish
ermen were the men who re
