Carter accuses Cuba of lying, threatens veto
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Jimmy Carter said yesterday that there was no doubt that Cuba helped train Katanagen rebels who invaded Zaire and he implored Cuban President Fidel Castro to forbid further incursions.
"I would like very much for Mr. Castro to pledge himself to prevent any further crossing of the Angolan border that would have affected Zaire," Carter said in a press conference.
He also urged Castro to stay out of Ethiopia.
Despite Castro's demands of having added the Katzenberg rubbers, Carter and there was no response.
CASTRO HAS said publicly that Cuba was not involved in the invasion early last month of mineral-rich Shah Province. Castro said it was clear that he had been confused and deceived by his advisors.
However, Carter now has said that Castro, who has admitted having advance knowledge of the invasion, could have taken steps to prevent it.
"The fact that is Castroe could have done much more had he been genuinely told to stop shooting."
Carter said the United States would not consider any retaliatory measures, such as new travel or trade restrictions against the Cubans, but would continue to warn the

world of the hazards of continuing Soviet and Cuban involvement in Africa.
In reference to the U.S. role in Africa, Carter said he would not commit troops but through peaceful means he would support countries that wanted to be autonomous and would see that African problems were solved by African people.
Carter also said he wanted Congress to end the three-year-old embargo against the sale of weapons to Turkey. He said the decision would help set a settlement of the Cyprus dispute.
m loan interest increase urged
WASHINGTON - UPII - A House-Senate Agriculture Conference yesterday agreed to raise the cost of interest on direct and indirect borrowing, to strengthen leadership above the current level of 5 percent.
The increase would raise interest to the rate that the government pays to borrow money, which is about 8 percent, plus 1 percent.
The conference, meeting to work out differences in farm credit bills passed by both houses, also agreed upon a compromise to ease requirements for guaranteed loans for housing in rural communities with a population of less than 20,000 or communities with a population of as much as 20,000, if other federal money were unavailable.
The conferences failed to finish work on the bill. They did not take up a special two-year $4 billion program of emergency farm credit, an extension of the emergency livestock credit act or a producer-financed beef checkoff program within the Senate bill. The conferences agreed to meet again June 21.
THE INCREASE in interest for farm ownership loans, included in the House-passed bill and supported by the administration, was opposed by Sen. George McGovern, D-S-D. McGovern failed by a S-2 concession conference to reject the House version.
Calling the current 5 percent loans a "tried and tested program," McGovern said. "We don't have many programs in the department to get young farmers into agriculture."
Gordon Cavannah, administrator of the Farmers Home Administration, said the administration was seeking an increase in income to fund money available for farm ownership loans.
Senate refuses cloture attempt for fourth time
WASHINGTON (AP)—The Senate yesterday refused for the fourth time to cut a 16-day bribery against labor law on Thursday, arguing the bill's supporters to concede defeat.
The cloture vote was 58-41, two less than the 60 votes needed to limit debate on the controversial revisions, which have the backing of organized labor and the Carter administration but are opposed by business groups.
Despite their defeat, supporters of the bill said they were encouraged by their growing strength, and a fifth antifilibuster attempt is scheduled for today.
The previous attempt to shut off the filibuster, on Tuesday, had the support of 54 senators. However, officials on both sides of the straits had considered yesterday's street protests.
After the vote, Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Uttah, filibuster leader, called on Senate Majority Leader Robert C. Byrd to concede defeat and withdraw the bill.
"I think we can hold," Hatch said. "I don't see how any senator can change. That was my opinion."
The bill also provides that guaranteed farm ownership loans would be made at a commercial rate within a limit set by the secretary of agriculture and that 5 percent interest would be retained for low income farmers.
The bill also extends farm ownership and operating loans to corporations, cooperatives and partnerships if they are controlled by farmers and ranchers.
sut Labor Secretary Ray Marshall, who watched the tour from a gallery seat, emphasized the increasing interest of画家 drew only 42 votes on their first try last week.
THE HOUSE-PASSED bill would have increased the levels of eligibility for rural housing loans to those for urban loans by increasing mortgage limits to $90,000, increasing federal guarantees from 90 to 100 percent, eliminating a need to show
credit was unavailable elsewhere and eliminating income limits for borrowers.
the provisions were sponsored by Reps. Dan Glickman, D-Kan., and Neil Smith, D-Dowla, in an effort to support federal rural housing as much as the Department of Housing and Urban Development supports urban housing.
however, after Cavanaugh protested that FMHA lacks manpower to handle such an expanded program, the confertees agreed to set the mortgage limit at $45,000, give FMHA discretion to raise guarantees to 100 percent, require the "credit elsewhere" test and allow FMHA to keep a $20,000 limit on income of borrowers.

"I'M CONCERNED in particular at this time with the Public Works Appropriations Bill that the House will begin voting on tomorrow," Carter said.
In the press conference Carter also warned Congress that he would veto an appropriation bill scheduled for a House vote this week unless eight water projects that he said he considered unsound and wasteful were eliminated.

That bill, as passed by the appropriations committee, would add not only $1.4 billion in spending during the period of construction of 46 new water projects but also would increase spending for the eight water projects that Congress agreed not to fund last year.

"It would waste far too much of our 'taxiaries' money and we just can't afford it."
LAST YEAR Carter attempted to eliminate 32 government water projects.
After a heated battle with Congress, eight projects that Carter opposed were eliminated. Those projects, as well as the new ones, have been included by the House of Representatives. The company contains more than $3 billion for the Army Corps of Engineers, the Bureau of
Reclamation and the Tennessee Valley Authority.
Carter said he would work with House members to eliminate unnecessary spending.
"Unless they are eliminated, I intend to veto the bill," Carter said.
The projects restored by the committee were Lukfata Dam, Okla; LaLarge Dam, Wis; Misir Park Dam, Mo; Yateville Reservoir; Kyir Boyone Bodeu, La; the dam on the Platte River, Lake, Savery Pot, Pok, Colo; and Fruland Mesa, Coca.
Carter cited the bill as a prime example of how Congress could wreck the administration's voluntary program to restrain inflation.
