50 Defiant Students Return to U. S.,
Most Still Praising Castro Regime
NEW YORK, Aug. 30 (AP).—
Fifty American students who
defied a State Department ban
on travel to Cuba returned by
plane from Madrid last night,
many of them still defiant of
United States policies.
Some of the students staged
a "stand-in" at Idlewild Air
port to protest a Government
announcement that their pass
ports would be invalidated.
The "stand-in” ended 2 hours
later when they were told their
passports would not be marked
invalid. However, each student
was presented with a State De
partment letter noting that his
or her passport had been sus
pended because of the trip to
Cuba.
“We consider this another
victory,” said Lee Levi Laub of
New York, a former Columbia
University student.
Ten of the students were
subpoenaed to appear on Sep
tember 12 before the House
Committee on Un-American
Activities.
One Kisses Ground
When the group left their
plane, most of them walked
into the customs building
quietly.
But one student, not identi
fied, fell to his knees and kissed
the ground.
A spokesman for the group
said five students decided not
to take part in the Idlewild
demonstration. The spokesman
added that only about five “dis
liked what they saw in Cuba.”
Larry Phelps, one of those
served with a subpoena, said
he is from North Carolina and
is a graduate of the University
of North Carolina.
"I can’t understand why I
was served,” Mr. Phelps said.
“Os course. I’ll have to go there
(Washington).”
Calls Visit “Magnificent”
Philip Luce of New York City
contended that, in going to
Cuba, the students had exer
cised their constitutional rights
and had violated no rules or
laws. He referred to the Cuban
visit as “a magnificent experi
ence to all.”
The United States restricts
travel to Cuba, with which it
has no diplomatic relations.
Mr. Laub denied a report
originating in Cuban under
ground sources at Miami that
Cuban students had given him
a letter criticizing Cuban Pre
mier Fidel Castro.
Richard Thorne of Berkeley,
Calif., a Negro, told newsmen:
“I saw schools in Cuba and
no discrimination. The party
leaders were honest.”

of California student, re-
Simple Pact Ratification
IsQuestioned by Mundt
By the Associated Press
Senator Mundt, Republican of South Dakota, questioned
today whether the topheavy committee vote to put the limited
nuclear test ban treaty before the Senate necessarily means
the pact will be ratified without reservations.
He had some support among other members of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee which voted 16-1 yesterday to
recommend ratification without
the attachment of special pro
visos, but most Democrats and
some Republicans disagreed.
Senator Mundt was one of
the majority In the committee
vote, but in a statement today
he pointed out that he and a
number of other committeemen
reserved the right to vote “for
any needed reservations or
against ratification of the
treaty itself.”
Senator Mundt, along with
some of the others, said he will
study any additional data on
the pact from the Senate Armed
Services Committee or the
Senate-House Atomic Energy
Committee before taking a final
position. Debate starts Sep
tember 9.
Radford Criticizes Pact
Meanwhile, retired Admiral
Arthur W. Radford, former
chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff, sharply criticized the
treaty in a letter to the For
eign Relations Committee.
Admiral Radford's statement
called the pact Inprecise and
vague and said that "unless we
Insist upon clarification now—
we will find ourselves in great
dificulties later on.”
While the Admiral’s letter
was addressed to Chairman
Fulbright, Democrat of Ar
kansas, of the Foreign Rela
tions Committee, it was made
public by Senator Thurmond,
Democrat of South Carolina,
an opponent of the pact. Sen
ator Thurmond is not a mem-

An unidentified American college student goes to his knees to kiss the
concrete at New York’s Idlewild Airport last night as he and 49 others
returned from an unauthorized visit to Communist Cuba.—AP Wirephoto
marked: “The people have an
unprecedented enthusiasm for
Fidel Castro. They have not
lost their zeal for the revolu
tion.”
Luria Castell, a student at
San Francisco State Teachers
College, said: "Cuba has made
some errors. It had to pull
itself out of the 17th or 19th
Century, but they’re trying to
build something now.”
Three Still in Cuba
Said John Wayne Thomas
of Oakland, Calif.: “Cuba is
a damn fine country. It works
pretty well.”
Martin Nicolaus of Fontana,
Wise., said he had allowed his
passport to be invalidated be-
ber of Senator Fulbright's com
mittee.
Speaking of witnesses who
have testified In favor of the
treaty, Admiral Radford de
clared that “to me It is fright
ening to see otherwise dedi
cated citizens refuse to accept
proven facts.” He said one such
fact is that “to us and to the
leaders of the Communist con
spiracy a just and genuine
peace means two entirely dif
jferent things.”
Senators See Easy Victory
Senator Fulbright predicted
there will be no more than 20
votes against the pact and he
expects and hopes “there will be
less.”
Sen tor Aiken, Republican of
Vermont, who originally fore
cast a least a 4-1 majority, said
today he would not be sur
prised If opponents mustered
|no more than 12 to 15 votes.
Ratification requires a two
thirds majority, or 67 if all the
100 Senators vote.
Senator Russell B. Long,
Democrat of Louisiana, cast the
only committee vote against
recommending ratification
without any reservation. He
called yesterday's vote “prema
ture,” and said his action does
not necessarily mean he will
oppose the treaty on the floor
after further study.
The treaty would ban test
ing in the atmosphere, under
water and in outer space, but
not under ground
A formal report will be sub
mitted Tuesday or Wednesday
making clear the United States
position that, in the event of
any armed aggression endan
gering a vital interest of the
United States, this Nation will
be the sole judge as to when
and where It will use its nu
clear weapons In self-defense
or In support of Its allies.
Proposed by Eisenhower
Such a stipulation. In the
form of a reservation, was pro
posed by former President
Elsenhower when he indorsed
the treaty. Senator Fulbright
said the statement agreed on
for the committee report elimi
nated the necessity for attach
ing a formal reservation which
might require a renegotiation
of the treaty. The Republican
members went along.
The report also will embrace
administration assurances of
the safeguards demanded by
the military Joint Chiefs of
Staff when they testified in
support of the treaty.
Lauschr Rfwrvition
These include aggressive
continuation of under ground
weapons testing, and full opera
tion of nuclear laboratories and
other facilities to maintain a
state of readiness to resume
cause it expired at midnight
last night anyway. Mr. Nicolaus,
a graduate of Wesleyan Uni
versity, Middletown, Conn., said
he will pursue graduate studies
this fall at Brandeis University,
Waltham, Mass.
The students, who originally
numbered 59, went first to
Czechoslovakia, then Havana.
They went to Madrid from
Havana last Sunday.
Os the original 59, one died
in Cuba, three remained there,
one returned earlier to Boston
and four decided to stay in
Madrid a bit longer.
Four Remain
The four who decided to
remain in Spain were identified
atmospheric testing should
Russia cheat on the agreement
and resume atmospheric tests.
Senator Lausche, Democrat
of hio, said he supports the
pact with the reservation that
if the Armed Services Commit
tee should reveal “facts indicat
ing that our military posture
will be weakened and that of
Russia strengthened by the
treaty, I will oppose it on the
floor.”
Senator Long said he opposed
the treaty in the fear it might
jeopardize defense capability.
He said his mind may be
changed by further study.
Senator Fulbright said there
will be no effort to rush action
in the Senate, saying he favors
“ a full and thorough discus
sion.”
He added he doesn’t believe
debate should take more than
a week.

Smathers Now
Doubts 1963
Tax Cut Action
By the AiaocUted Frew
Senator Smathers, Democrat
of Florida, said today he doubts
that the Senate will act on
President Kennedy’s tax cut
bill this year.
Senator Smathers, third
ranked Democrat on the Fi
nance Committee, told a re
porter the long delay in, the
House on the bill and the prob
ability of a Senate tieup on
civil rights legislation led him
to the conclusion.
“Not long ago I thought it
was a cinch to go through this
year,” he said in an interview,
"but I've changed my mind.”
Unlike the two higher-ranked
Democrats on the committee,
Chairman Harry F. Byrd, Dem
ocrat of Virginia, and Senator
Long, Democrat of Louisiana,
Senator Smathers has strongly
supported a tax cut.
Rights Can Delay Action
If debate on a civil rights
bill starts as expected in Oc
tober and is prolonged for many
weeks, it will be impossible for
the Finance Committee to
make any headway with tax
hearings, Senator Smathers
said.
He estimated the public hear
ings on the tax cut might run
six to eight weeks, with addi
tional time needed for commit
tee action on the measure.
Based on past experience, the
comimttee expects to hear
about 200 witnesses on the bill.
Senator Byrd always has fol
lowed a policy of scheduling
every applicant, although he
has asked some industries af
fected by a bill to consolidate
their testimony.
Normally, by meeting morn
ing and afternoon, the commit
tee hears about 10 witnesses a
day. But during the civil rights
fight it will be able to sit only
in the morning and not even
then if the Senate convenes
earlier than the usual noon
meeting time.
Cut in Two Stages
The Finance Committee now
is expected to receive the bill
in the latter part of September.
As tentatively approved by the
House Ways and Means Com
mittee it will call for a net
income tax reduction of $10.5
billion in two stages, with the
first scheduled to take effect
January 1, 1964.
In a separate interview, Sen
ator John J. Williams of Dela
ware. senior Republican on the
Finance Committee, said he had
secured informal agreement not
to begin enate hearings for 10
days to two weeks after House
passage.
This would appear to make
it even less likely that there
can be Senate action this
session.
Senator Williams said that
the Ways and Means Commit
tee had made so many changes
in the original bill that Finance
members should have a chance
to study it before starting to
take testimony.
"We don’t understand what’s
in it now,” he said. “This may
actually save time in the end.”
Senator Williams has con
tended that the tax cut would
not be passed this year and
that the Democrats secretly
want it that way.
He insisted they would like
it to take effect closer to the
1964 presidential election date.
The Treasury estimated yes
terday that, if the tax cut goes
through. Federal tax revenues
will increase S2O billion by
fiscal 1967—three years from
now.
The projection was based on
GOLFING PASTOR
GETS HOLE-IN-ONE
NEW HAVEN, Conn.,
Aug. 30 (AP).—George
Werner is 25, has been
playing golf for 18 years
and regularly shoots in the
high 70s. Plajdng in the
State four-ball tournament
yesterday, he teed off with
an eight-iron on the 140-
yard, par-3 fifth hole at
the Yale University course.
He topped the ball, but it
bounced toward the green
and finally bounced into
the cup for a hole-ln-one.

known as the Rev. George
Wemer, pastor of St.
Peter’s Episcopal Church
in Milford, Conn., smiled.
Afro-Asians Pick
6 to Cite Concern
Over Buddhists
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.,
Aug. 30 (AP).—The 56-natlon
Asian-African group in the
United Nations yesterday de
ferred again any decision on
supporting a call for a special
session of the United Nations
General Assembly to debate
South Viet Nam’s treatment of
Buddhists.
Instead, it appointed a six
nation delegation to call on
Secretary General U Thant,
himself a Buddhist, to express
the concern of the group on
the situation in South Viet
Nam.
Abdou Ciss, acting head of
the Senegal delegation and the
group's chairman for August,
said members of the committee
will be Ceylon, Afghanistan,
Burma, Liberia, Algeria and
Senegal.
Mr. Ciss said the group,
which has debated for a week
the question of a special as
sembly sought by Ceylon, has
not taken any vote and he
did not know how much senti-i
ment there was for the session.
But it appeared that because
of the shrinking time left be
fore the regular session opens
September 17, the idea of a
special session was losing its
validity.
To Ngoc Thach, South Viet
Nam's observer to the United
Nations, appealed vigoriously to
the group not to support the
move for a special session.
the assumption that the cut
would stimulate production and
that there would be a signifi
cant drop in unemployment by
1966.
The estimate of revenue for
the present fiscal year is $88.9
billion. A S2O billion increase
would mean a Government
take of $108.9 billion.
Without a tax cut, a Treas-
I ury spokesman said, revenue in
fiscal 1967 would be about
I $103.9 billion, assuming the
economy will grow at the rate
that has prevailed since 1956.
Thus, the tax cut would put
the Government $5 billion
ahead by Treasury computa
tion.
A S2O billion increase in rev
enue would be just $1 billion
short of the s2l billion increase
over the past 10 years—from
$64.7 billion in 1953 to $85.5
billion in fiscal 1963, which
ended June 30.
