Soviets send submarine, ship to Cuba
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — The Soviet Union is sending a second 20,000-torr fante and a third diesel-powered attack submarine to Cuba to beef up its expanding navy, Pentagon officials said yesterday.
They said both vessels were en route to Cuba from Soviet waters but could not find the vessel.
"They're on their way for delivery," said one officer, who asked not to be named. "It's a definite upgrade of Cuban naval capability."
The Kont-class frigate will be the second in the Cuban arsenal and Cuba already has two of the Foxtrot-class submarines.
The officials said the subs are used primarily for training, but could be modified for offensive operations and pose a threat to shipping in waters off the southern United States in the event of hostilities.

VAN NUYS, Calif. — Molly Stern, a Van Nuys resident, reacts in horror as she finds her car crushed by a tree. The tree was toppled yesterday by 80 mph winds. High winds caused havoc throughout Southern California yesterday, knocking down power lines and creating treacherous driving conditions.
Winds cause damage death in California
LOS ANGELES — Winds up to 80 mph battered Southern California yesterday, cutting power to 125,000 customers and topping trees in the watering pine in the front yard of the Walt Disney estate, officials said.

A fire burned at least 200 acres in Orange County's Modjeska Canyon, threatening several expensive homes.
Similar winds knuckled down trees and buildings in the central Sierra Nevada 300 miles north of Los Angeles, closing Yosemite National Park and several ski resorts. One man was crushed by a fallen tree.
"If it were later in the year the winds would be hotter and drier we'd be having more problems than fire spokesman Mark Reiphold said
LOS ANGELES Department of Water and Power and Southern
California Edison estimated that 125,000 persons in five counties were without power at the height of the windstorm.
Several trees blew down on freeways, snarling traffic.
The tree on the old Walt Disney estate, in the Toluca Lake district near several movie studios, fell just below a high bridge by Bob Hope and Henry Winkler.
In Century City, gusts swayed skyscrapers and frightened some workers who feared there was an earthquake.
"THE BUILDINGS were swaying for about a minute," Lisa Burt, a receptionist in a 25-story building, said. "It felt like an earthquake. Everything was rocking. It's pretty windy."
National Weather Service officials said the high winds would persist through tonight.
Warm winds up to 70 mph also knocked down trees and buildings in the central Sierra yesterday.
Congressmen criticize food proposal
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — Congress would be acting irresponsibly if it accepted a hunger task force recommendation that states design their own nutrition programs to replace federal efforts, congressional leaders said yesterday.
A joint hearing of three congressional panels that deal with nutrition programs was Congress' first official response to a report completed earlier this month by President Reagan's Task Force on Food Assistance.
REGARDING THE TASKforce's key suggestion, Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass, said, "There is no surer way to increase hunger in this country than to turn food stamps into a discretionary state or local program," said Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass, who testified in the joint hearing.
Kennedy and Sen. Mark Andrews,
R-N.D., introduced a Senate resolution
this week declaring that food stamps
and other food assistance programs
must remain in federal hands.
The chairmen of congressional committees in charge of $19 billion for food stamp, school lunch and other federal nutritional programs, Sen. Robert Dole, R-Kan., Rep. Carl Perkins, D-Ky., and Rep. Leon Panetta, D-Calif., opposed the task force's key suggestion.
Organizations representing the nation's governors, mayors and county governments — all citing studies and data that show an increase in the number of hungry Americans and recipients of aid from soup kitchens and food pantries — also rejected the idea.
However, most members of Congress and witnesses endorsed the task force's recommendations to add $900 million in funding to the $12 billion food stamp program.
ONE CHANGE, directed at unemployed people called the new poor, would raise the amount of assets a person could buy and stamp. Another change would increase benefits slightly across the board.
Kennedy, who produced his own report on hunger late last year, called for a $2.5 billion increase in annual spending for all nutrition programs.
The hearing produced more argument over the extent of hunger in the nation, an issue that heated up last month when presidential counselor Edwin Meese said reports of hunger were reported by the aide authoritative figures regarding hunger and that some allegations about hunger were "purely political."
The task force concluded that there was hunger in America, but that it was not "rampant." The task force called for an emergency moment of the extent of hunger and poverty.
KENNEDY TOLD the panel, "It's for an unattainable scientific precision in quantifying hunger is part of a familiar administration strategy to ignore evidence of unfairness and injustice in America.
