Premier Ben Bella Defends Red Visit
ALGIERS — (UPI) — Algerian Premier Ahmed Bem Bella defended his visit to Cuba and discussed his talks with President Kennedy in interviews here today with Paris and Algeria newspapers.
"THE VISIT to Cuba comes within the framework of friendly relations that we want to have with all countries who hold out their hand to us." Ben Bella said.
In an interview with Le Figaro of Paris, Ben Bella was asked about the assertions that his visit to Havana had eclipsed what he had done in the United States and worried Western opinion.
The visit to Fidel Castro was normal because three invitations had been extended "and I couldn't do anything but reply to an invitation from a country which always unequivocally supported us," he said.
"Apparently that posed a problem in the United States, particularly in an election period. We did not take this into account because it was a subjective and provisional factor," he added.
"BUT YOU DO not refuse an invitation because a neighboring country is having elections and because opinion in it is susceptible. The Cubans would not have understood.
Catholic Council May Cut Latin
VATICAN CITY — (UPI) — The Ecumenical Council today began debate on possible reforms in liturgy, including the use of modern languages instead of the traditional Latin in rites of public worship and the mass.
The three-hour debate in the Council hall in St. Peter's Basilica was conducted in Latin. A Council press spokesman indicated some disagreement on the draft of the proposed new constitution for liturgy presented to the 2,537 Council "fathers."
One of the speakers was Francis Cardinal Spellman of New York. His view was not disclosed. Neither were those of the other 19 prelates that took part in the opening discussions.
St. Peter's Square was the scene of a minor traffic jam as the hundreds of cars and buses bearing the Council fathers arrived for the first real working session.
A group of American tourists waved and cheered when Cardinal Spellman arrived in the square. He smiled and took off his red skull cap in acknowledgement.
Before settling down to the debate on liturgy — the first of some 70 items up for possible discussion — the Council heard the results of the elections for members of three vital commissions. The elected members of the seven other commissions were announced Saturday.
Six Americans were included in the list released today, making a total of 19 elected to the 10 commissions which will direct the work of the historic conclave. Each commission is appointed by Pope John XXIII and includes 24 members, 16 elected by the Council and eight named by the Pontiff.

"Moreover our political position must be understood. People must take us as we are . . . we intend to remain independent no matter what this or that country thinks.
"I repeat, we are completely faithful to our policy of non-alignment and non-engagement," Ben Bella said.
"BUT WE thought and continue to think that the Cuban problem is a serious one with the risk of threatening world peace. Our attitude can only contribute to relaxing the atmosphere.
"I believe we succeeded and I should say that I explained all that in detail and quite frankly to President Kennedy. Despite the election, he seemed to understand the meaning which we gave to our trip."
"PRESIBENT Kennedy made known the American views to me, particularly on the subject of Cuba," Ben Bella said.

In an interview with the Algiers newspaper Al Chaab, Ben Bella said his talks with President Kennedy touched on such important international problems as Cuba and Berlin.
"On the other hand I explained our policy to him—the policy of non-alignment and against imperialism, colonialism, racial discrimination, the armaments race and nuclear tests."
University of Kansas libraries have received a comprehensive collection of nearly 200 books telling of the U.S. Navy in World War II.
Library Gets Naval Books
The books are a gift from Glen Perry of Wilmington, Del., assistant director of public relations for the E. I. duPont de Nemours Company. The collection includes nearly every book written about the Navy in World War II, Thomas Buckman, director of KU libraries, said.
"Mr. Perry was a newsman during the War and knew a number of the top Navy officers," Buckman said. "He collected these books out of interest."
"The books will be distributed throughout the library system, not kept together as a collection," Mr. Buckman added.
Included in the collection are Samuel Eliot Morrison's 14-volume "History of U.S. Naval Operations in World War II" and books by Cmdr. Edward Steichen, Adm. William D. Leahy, Adm. Ernest King, Cmdr. Edwin L. Beach and Adm. William F. Halsey.

Leftist Candidate Is Victor in Brazil
RIO DE JANEIRO — (UPI) — Conservative candidate Joao Cleofas admitted defeat late Saturday to Communist-backed Miguel Arraes in the gubernatorial race in Fernbamboo, in Brazil's explosive Northeast.
Cleofas held a lead of 991 votes when counting closed for the weekend, but the remaining 200 precincts to be counted were in the city of Recife, where Arraes has been winning each precinct by more than 50 votes.
The conservative candidates had led since counting started Oct. 8 by maintaining large margins from interior cities. Arraes, a Labor Party radical, has piled up a huge vote in Recife, where the outlawed Communist Party is strongly entrenched among the dockworkers and other laborers.
