-A THE PADUCAH SUN-DEMOCRAT Russian Arms Aid To Cubans Is Reported At $300 Million WASHINGTON (AP) Infor- reaching U.S. intelligence indicates that Cuba's Fidel Cas-ly tro has received some $300 million worth of Soviet arms since November and will get about $250 million in Communist economic help this year. This is in addition to an estimated $500 million worth of Soviet military equipment turned over to Cuban armed forces before last October's missile crisis and $300 million to $325 million in economic aid. Deserious the large-scale help from the Soviet bloc, Castro's Communist economy was reported in bad shape and worse. Cuban capita production 1962 waDe estimated down at least 30 per cent from 1958, the year before Castro's takeover.

Industry was said to be faltering for lack of spare parts and maintenance. Even Castro's personal automobiles were reported in bad repair. Some of the communist-made vehicles were described as unsuitable for tropical Cuba's main money -earner, sugar, has spiraled downwards from a 6.8-million ton harvest in 1961 to a projected 4 million tons this year. But soaring world sugar prices could rescue Castro from part of his financial woes, if they stay high for the 1964 season.

He said the feed grain bill would give farmers some relief in this respect. He said he didn't agree with the but he choice made by the farmers would accept it. Some of those who urged the farmers to reject the wheat plan, he said, may have misled them. In response to a question, Kennedy said he did not think Secretary of Agriculture Orville L. Freeman's position had been undermined by the defeat of the administration's wheat program.

Asked about Republican charges that the administration is considering abandoning the Guantanamo naval base in Cuba, Kennedy said, "It is completely He said that raising the question indicated that Republicans were playing politics with the Cuban issue. "I would hope we could find a good deal more realism" from the Republicans, he said. In reply to another question, Kennedy said the United States "may well be" supplying assistance to Cuban refugee organizations but added, "As of today I don't think we are." He said even if it were true he would not want to go into details at a news conference. On the question of Soviet troops in Cuba, Kennedy said "we do not have any evidence of increasing buildup" of troops. But he said it was quite true there has been no satisfactory withdrawal of troops.

As to equipment, he said that there was no evidence of a buildup. Among other matters coming up at the news conference: CIVIL RIGHTS Kennedy said "we are considering' asking for new civil rights legislation, and a final decision will be made in the next few days. He noted that sevral items are before Congress but other things might be done to provide a legal outlet for a desire for equality other than to engage in demonstrations which bring such persons into conflict with their community. He said many people do not have a remedy and therefore they take to the streets and therefore such situations develop as in Birmingham, Ala. SPACE FLIGHTS Asked if there should be another Mercury orbital flight, Kennedy said he thought the astronauts feel it is worthwhile, but the National Aeronautics and Space Administration should and would make the judgment.

He said the flight of Maj. Gordon Cooper indicated that the time between the last Mercury flight and the first Gemini flight -18 months -was quite a gap, and the astronauts felt it should be filled. He said they will be discussing this in the next few weeks but the decision must be up to NASA and its head, James Webb. TRADE Kennedy said there is "a long row to hoe" in reaching agreement on tariffs at the Geneva conference. He said the contrasting economic interests of the United States, the European Common Market, and other countries made differences unavoidable.

"It will be a long road," he said, "but it is a road we can travel, we should travel and we must travel. "The West cannot possibly afford to have a breakdown in trade relations." NUCLEAR The President said there are many questions in addition to the number of inspection sites that must be considered in negotiating a nuclear test ban. He said these other issues should be settled, "then we can finally come and decide" what "would be a responsible number of tests." He said efforts to reach some agreement with the Soviet Union will continue, "And we're still hoping that we can find perhaps an easing of their SOUTH VIET NAM He said he hoped the situation would permit some withdrawal of U.S. troops in any case by the end of the year, but the situation still is serious and there is a long hard way to go. POPE Asked if he planned to meet Pope John XXIII on his European trip, Kennedy said, "Yes, I would hope to" and.

Past Soviet military assistance Farmers In Area Favor Wheat Rule By HENRY GOODMAN Sun-Democrat Farm Editor West Kentucky wheat producers voted overwhelmingly Tuesday in favor of the Kennedy administration's two-piece "certificate plan" for supporting wheat prices. Thirteen of 14 counties approved the referendum. en Only Christian County failed to endorse the proposed program.

Often called the "certificate plan," the administration wheat program would have supported approximately 80 per cent of the limited wheat crop las 1964 at $2. The Kentucky vote in the wheat referendum was 22,143 for the administration plan and 3,669 against. There were 404 challenged votes. In these cases question arose as to whether the persons who voted were eligible to participate in the referendum. Unofficial Totals These are unofficial totals, but officials at the state ASC headquarters in Lexington said they were not expected to change substantially when county written reports are submitted.

National referendum returns completely reversed Kentucky figures, however. Only 47.8 per cent of the participants voting in the referendum endorsed the administration's plan. Approval by at least 66.7 per cent of the voters was necessary to carry the day. National figures reveal that 547,151 farmers voted for the plan while 596,943 opposed it. By-county unofficials returns for 14 West Kentucky counties were given by the Lexington ASC office as follows: 104 Against S.1310 Eligible McCracken ....171 40 250 Graves ..942 128 1,137 Carlisle ...243 16 321 Ballard .432 42 470 Hickman .378 103 611 Fulton ...208 183 601 Marshall 305 48 500 Calloway ......722 86 1,200 Lyon .131 2 139 Livingston 89 17 115 Crittenden .....146 55 308 Caldwell .......413 63 500 Trigg .230 25 354 Christian 18 77 1,600 High level ASC officials in Frankfort said, they were well pleased Kentucky vote in Tuesday's wheat referendum although they were disappointed that "the proposed program failed to carry Kentucky ASC chairman R.

O. Wilson said, "In 29 years of the farm program in Kentucky I have never seen county committeemen and community committeemen, office personnel and those working with them strive as hard to inform the farmers of the problems confronting them as they have in the last several weeks." Wilson continued, "I feel that all farmers, particularly wheat farmers, are indebted to these committeemen and office personnel for the wonderful job that they have done in getting the wheat information to them. I would like to congratulate all of the county workers, support groups, business men and others for the wonderful job that they did in Kentucky Tuesday." Executive director of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation committee George Nelson said, "Personally I feel that the people of this state did a good job in the referendum. They should be commended upon the stand that they took." Nelson concluded his remarks by saying, "In my opinion the stand taken by American growers will have a direct bearing on farm programs in future years."

Irence Suffill, Greensboro Again Scene Of Display GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP)More demonstrators than ever before. thronged through downtown Greensboro on Wednesday night. But it wound up peacefully, even as a newly named biracial committee met. Police estimated 4,000 Negroes marched solemnly in a light rain in the 12th consecutive night of demonstrations.

The usual handclapping and singing was absent. Police had downtown streets off to motor traffic. A small crowd of spectators, Negro and white, watched. Among the marchers were many of the 900 students of Agricultural Technical College, state-supported Negro college here, who were released from jail early in the day. Most of them protested their release, saying they wanted to stay in the overflowing temporary jails.

Mayor David Schenck named the 16-member biracial committee shortly after meeting with Negro and business leaders. The meeting followed the Negroes' release of statement of goals, topped by a request of integration of all downtown commercial establishments. Wednesday night's demonstrators made what appeared to be token efforts to enter segregated places. They turned away quickly when refused entry. The state highway patrol placed 50 men on standby duty near Greensboro.

Patrol Capt. Arthur Welch said, "We will not take any part unless they need us." Welch said Greensboro police asked that the patrol be ready to help if needed. Twenty-five additional troopers were alerted but not yet called in. Mayor Schenck said the biracial committee will seek to restore "a normal atmosphere in the munity." Formation of the committee followed a meeting of the mayor with representatives of Congress of Racial Equality, the National Association for Advancement of Colored People and Greensboro business houses. The formal statement of goals by Negro leaders also asked that charges be dropped against demonstrators arrested during almost two weeks of unrest in this tobacco and textile center of 126,000.

The statement by Negro leaders, entitled "Suggested Guidelines for Action," was prepared by a group that calls itself the Coordinating Council of Prointegration Groups in Greensboro. The statement called for: Desegretation of all city public schools. Freedom of job and subsequent promotion replacement. gard to race, color or creed in all departments operated by the city.

Congressman William Natcher of Bowling Green, who had several of us Kentuckians to lunch, graciously escorted us through the crowds on the visitors' floor to the glass doors leading to Gallery 11. The presence of a senior congressman does wonders in opening a way through crowds and guard-lines on such occasions. I was in my place at the top of the he stairs by 1 p.m., with a fine view of the entire chamber, and of the podium where Gordon Cooper would speak.

At 1:10, William H. "Fishbait" Miller, the House doorkeeper, rapped for order, and announced that "the distinguished members of the Senate of the United States" were about to enter. The House members arose, and everyone applauded politely while they filed down the center aisle and took the reserved seats, in the second third rows. At 1:15 the speaker took the stand, gavelled for attention, and announced "the ambassadors, ministers and foreign governors." General applause, as the file of diplomats were seated in the entire section just below Gallery 11. There were many Africans and Asians among them.

By now the galleries themselves were crowded, mostly with wives and daughters of members of Congress and other government officials. An occasional late-arriving photographer or newsman sweated and bulled his way down the jammed steps to the front-row gallery seats reserved for them. At 1:20 p.m. the entire throng stood and joined in an enthusiastic round of applause, as Jacqueline Kennedy and her small band of presidential relatives and friends came down the steps of Gallery 10. Interest in the Kennedy party kept the big room buzzing animatedly until the dramatic announcement of Reinstatement Birmingham ATLANTA, Ga.

(AP) pellate court judge Wednesday night ordered the immediate reinstatement of more, than 1,000 Negro pupils suspended from school for taking part in regation demonstrations at Birmingham, Ala.

The FCC said the April 29 program, "'The Chandler Years in Review," apparently was sponsored by Edward T.

Breathitt of former Gov. A. B. Chanone dier's opponents in the May 28 Democratic gubernatorial primar The program was described by 10 Missing As Cars Fall Into River MURDOCHVILLE, Que. (AP)Police said Wednesday that 10 persons were missing after their cars ran off a broken bridge that had collapsed hours before into a raging river.

Authorities said snowbanks up to six feet high flanked the road leading to the 60-foot bridge spanning the flood-swollen York River and the car drivers apparently failed to see the gap until they were upon it. The men were riding to work in the early morning hours through the isolated, rough countryside. Most were employed in the Gaspe copper mines in this town, 350 miles northeast of Quebec City. Four workmen in the same party escaped when their small car was swept to shore after plunging 15 feet off the broken bridge. A provincial police spokesman said floodwaters of the York River had undermined a center pillar of the concrete bridge half of the collapsed Tuesday night.

One of the cars that carried some of missing men was recovered from river two miles from the bridge. There was no one inside. A second car was reported sighted in the swirling waters. Police said tire marks indicated at least four plunged into the river. E.

At 1:25 Cooper's fellow astronauts were announced, and they took their seats on the floor, down front on the right, to the accompaniment of powerful clapping and scattered cheers. 1:27 p.m.-'The Chief Justice and the Associate Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States." More applause. One of two elderly justices leaned feebly on the arms of escorting doormen, as the court, clad in their long black robes, filed to their forward seats. 1:29 p.m. -The Cabinet was announced.

A hush fell even before the speaker rapped his gavel again. Gordon Cooper of the United States Air Force." Thunderous applause. Everybody, standing or sitting, leaned forward, craning to catch the first glimpse of him. A dozen Senate and House leaders escorted him forward. Pressure of the throngs standing on the stairways and along the walls made it almost impossible, to breathe.

Feet were trod upon, and an occasional individual toppled over into the lap of someone in an aisle seat. But it was a good-natured, smiling, happy crowd. Nobody complained or said anything ill-tempered. The general urge to pay honor to this hero dominated the discomforts to which, so many in the galleries had by now been exposed. You heard or read Major Cooper's earnest, sensitive little talk, and the moving prayer with which he closed it.

By 1:40 it was all over, and we were moving out. Outside, where the throngs could expand and did, over acres of pavement and lawns, the numerous police having their difficulties. But they, too, all seemed to be in high good-humor, joking with the spectators and each other. It was a great day. THURSDAY, MAY 23, 1963 Cooper Is Saluted In New York NEW YORK (AP) Astronaut Gordon Cooper, undaunted in the lonely, silent "reaches of outer space, rode up Broadway with precise caution Wednesday to a roaring, adoring ticker tape accolade from New York's millions.

Before he set out into a blizzard of shredded paper, Cooper meticulously fastened a seat belt of his limousine across his lap. Then the 36-year-old Air Force major was ready to accept with modesty the city's homage for last week's 22-orbit flight that thrilled the free world and established him as America's top astronaut. Later, at a civic luncheon at the Waldo where 1,900 dignitaries rose to their feet in ovation, and where he received the city's Medal of Honor, Cooper made one of the shortest acceptance speeches in memory. "I don't generally say very much," Cooper declared. "I'm so impressed that today I'm going say even less.

On behalf of myself and the entire Mercury team, I want to thank you very much." That was it. Cooper sat down. And a delighted audience that included former President Herbert Hoover cheered the taciturn hero to the very ceiling of the ballroom. The highlight of the day was the tremendous noise and enthusiasm of the parade. Lindberg Remembered Unofficial police estimates--admittedly only a guess--set the crowd turnout for Cooper at 4 to million, about par for the course.

The noise and color of the demonstration was reminiscent of Charles A. Lindberg's welcome to New York 36 years ago, after his solo flight across the Atlantic. That was a never-to-be-forgotten one of all Broadway parades. Surging throngs overwhelmed police barriers, shouting "Hello Coop Wonderful job, Coop Go, go, Gordo." "This is wonderful, exciting. This is great stuff." There had been prior parades since Cooper returned to earth last Thursday-in Hawaii and at Cape Canaveral and Washington.

But this was Broadway, unrivaled in all the world for the grand and gaudy show it puts on for its heroes. The half-mile parade route from the Battery to City Hall has been a glory road for kings and commoners of the 20th Century, ever since the first parade in 1899 honored Adm. George Dewey, the hero of Manila Bay. Astronaut Cooper wore a dark summer suit. He sat in the back of a cream colored limousine with red upholstery.

His was the lead car in the 15-minute parade. Beside him was his attractive brunette wife, Trudy. President Lyndon B. Johnson also was with the couple. In the third car was the astronatu's mother, Mrs.

Hattie Cooper. Cooper's daughters, Camala, 14, and Janita, 13, rode in the fourth car. Also in the motorcade were fellow astronauts, M. Scott Carpenter, Alan B. Shepard Donald K.

Slayton, Walter M. Schirra Jr. and Virgil I. Grissom. Less than 15 months ago, Cooper had ridden almost unnoticed in a similar ticker tape parade that greeted astronaut John H.

Glenn first American to orbit the earth. Glenn was absent Wednesday, in Japan on assignment. Despite his efforts to share the acclaim, however, this was Gordon Cooper's day, and his alone. Ships in the harbor sounded their horns, fireboats plumed water into the air. Five police helicopters hovered above the motorcade.

High above them a skywriter spelled out "Well done, Gordo," against the blue. But above all else it was the people of New York who made the celebration. They had prayed for Gordon Cooper during his 34 hours aloft in space. Now they had him back and they were grateful and they let him know it. The din was constant, thunderous, from spectators jammed from building to curb on the sidewalks of New York, and shouting from skyscraper windows.

The roar at times drowned out the sirens of Cooper's motorcycle escort. Homemade signs proclaimed "Super Is He's Our Boy." On the Lower East Side, Chinese school children shouted "Ho sai gay" -Chinese for "Good luck." Western Baptist Hospital Notes BIRTHS Mr. and Mrs. Wade L. Adams, 426 S.

Negroes In Ordered has included a wide variety of supplies ranging from jet fighters to tanks, guns, rolling stock and other goods. Cuba's industry is lagging on many fronts. It has been plagued by power failures, worker inefficiency, poor management, misallocation of, resources and poor quality output. Thus although income may be more equitably distributed among the Cuban people now than before Castro, the progressive decline in output has markedly reduced the amount of economic benefits available. Other crops are faring badly too.

For instance Cuba, a significant coffee exporter, must import coffee this year.

Breckinridge (Continued From Page One) said he'd get out of the race if we'd pick up his tab." Asked by a newsman why he went to the meeting in the first place, Breckinridge replied: "I'm not averse to discussing anything anytime with anyone. That has been my policy throughout the campaign." Breckinridge said he did not act in an official capacity when the purported offers were made because no consideration was mentioned merely "anything I wished." "I'm running for election, not running a law office." Had there been a cash offer there might have been a violation of the Corrupt Practices Act, he said "these things are always general and loose. You're never sure of principals and agents. You're talking In answer to another question, Breckinridge said there was never any understanding that Edward T. Breathitt one of Chandler's foes in the primary, would pay his campaign bills.

Breathitt and Gov. Bert Combs have been commending Breckinridge publicly in the eastern 1 half of the state without actually endorsing him. In Western Kentucky the administration is trying to link Waterfield with Breathitt, whom it endorses. its 1 backers as "the true story of what A. has done for, and to, It was announced as Government." by "Committee for Good "In fact, the application for time and facilities and the subsequent contracts executed by the advertising agency for the 'Committee for Good Government' indicated that the committee was in fact acting on behalf of Mr.

Breathitt," the FCC said. The commission added that failure to identify Breathitt as the sponsor was apparently a wilful violation of requiring identification of true sponsors of such programs. The station has 30 days from receipt of the letter to appeal the fine to the commission. Vic Sholis, vice president and director of WHAS, said "naturally we will appeal because in no sense was this a wilful violation of FCC rules." Sholis said that, "on the contrary, it appears to us that the commission has gone beyond the language of its rules in this action. The basic principle involved is that the commission has made a decision on reasoning it has not spelled out in its rules.

This we intend to protest." Several other stations in Kentucky and neighboring states showed the film and others declined to do so. Water Line For Fredonia Slated For Enlargement FREDONIA, May 22 Approval for an increase in the water supply for Fredonia has been received. Mayor Odell Walker said the new line will be a six-inch line instead of a fourinch line, as approved earlier. He said the six-inch supply line would carry the water from Eddyville to a 30,000 gallon supply tank in Fredonia. Walker the increase in the size of the line required another $5,000 in local founds in order to receive an additional $20,000 from the federal government.

He said the founds were quickly raised. Work on the installation of the new line has not started but is expected to begin soon. Contracts for the new line and supply tank have already been completed.

(Bill) Knight was appointed director of the state Tourist and Travel Division Wednesday, succeding Charles G. Warnick. A native of Fairmont, Knight, 52, has been assistant W.Va., director of the division sitice 1960 and has been acting directors since Warnick's resignation. Warnick became deputy director of the Office of Services of the Federal Information Aviation lAgency, of the Board of Education to discipline pupils "for acts of actual violence or actual breaches of the peace other than parading without a permit." Tuttle said he did not think the suspension and expulsion orders would be permitted to stand when the case reaches the appeals court. "It, therefore, becomes my duty to maintain the status quo of these individual pupils to the end that their education is not illegally interfered with, until the case can be argued and decided in the court of he said.

PICKUP While Birmingham's racial issues were fought in the courtroom, law enforcement officials at Tuscaloosa prepared for the June 10 desegregation of the Uni. versity of Alabama. Ku 1 Klux Klan Wizard Robert M. Shelton, a Tuscaloosa resident, warned that if police officers can't enforce the law, "then the Klan will enforce it." Allgood heard arguments in chambers on the petition for an injunction against suspension of the 1,081 pupils after the school board disclosed it has reversed itself and was giving grievance hearings to the pupils. The judge said he "was shocked to see hundreds of school children ranging in age from 6 to 16 running loose and wild without direction over the streets of Birmingham and in business establishments." He said for two days newspapers here published warnings by school teachers and principals against pupils deliberately cutting classes.

"This court cannot conceive of a federal court saying" to the board of education "made up of dedicated, honorable, courageous men, that they should take no action under the circ*mstances and that the children who deliberately failed to attend school for several days should not in any way be punished or penalized."
