MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay—Uruguay has ordered the Cuban ambassador and the Soviet embassy's first secretary to get out of the country in an action which may presage an open break with Castroite Cuba.
The nine-member presidential council voted 6 to 2 last night, with one member absent, to expel Ambassador Mario Garcia Inchaustegui and Embassy Secretary Mijail K. Sanmoilov.
The official announcement offered no explanation for the order, nor did it say whether any deadline had been set for the departure of the two diplomats.
Councilman Cesar Battie Pachecho, however, described Garcia as the representative of a "government of thieves and bandits" and denounced his "more than notorious intervention in (Uruguay's) internal affairs."

WASHINGTON—Treasury Secretary designate Douglas Dillon said today the Kennedy administration will ask Congress to enact a tax reform program this year.
Dillon, appearing at a Senate Finance Committee confirmation hearing, said tax reforms should be given urgent attention.
"It is one of the major questions facing the new administration." he said. "It would be hoped to get some action at this session of Congress."
Dillon did not discuss details of the program which he said have not been worked out yet.

BRUSSELS, Belgium—The Coalition government of Catholic Premier Gaston Eyskens won parliamentary approval today for its austerity program which set off the country's four weeks of strikes and violence.
Eyskens directed his forces from a sick bed as they swept to a victory of 115 to 90 votes, with one abstention, in the chamber of deputies. The bill now goes to the senate where approval is only a formality.
Approval by the lower house of parliament came in the face of bitter opposition from the socialists who had set off the nationwide series of strikes and violence in attempts to kill the austerity program.
In winning, the government rejected out of hand socialist offers to end the country's strike chaos through a national summit conference of "men of good will."

WASHINGTON—President-elect John F. Kennedy's nomination of his brother Robert to be attorney general was questioned today by a Republican senate leader on grounds of inexperience.
However, Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee which began hearings on Kennedy's confirmation defended his selection. They said there was a "strong parallel" in the legal careers of Kennedy and the present Republican Attorney General William P. Rogers.
Sit-in Leader Tells His Story
(Continued from page 1) stood in the back of the bar and wouldn't move.
My Negro friend said he didn't want to cause any trouble so we got up and left.
I was irritated when we got outside but when I got back to the dorm (Carruth-O'Leary) I started thinking about it and got madder and madder.
I TALKED to Andrew Katai (Elizabeth, N. J., graduate student) about it and he told me what had happened to a group of students in the same place Wednesday afternoon.
Stephen Baratz (Brooklyn, N. Y.
graduate student) and three others,
one a Negro, went into Louise
and were served. However, they
were charged 25 cents for a regular
10 cent beer.
Then I went from room to room in the dorm and told them what had happened and what I intended to do. I invited them to come with me but told them if they didn't feel as I did they didn't have to. Most of them were as angry as I was about what happened.
After hearing about the Baratz incident I found a friend of mine (a Negro) and talked him into going back to the bar with me.
"I TRIED to get as many people as possible. I called the frats and every group I could think of. Then I decided this shouldn't be just a local affair with only the local people looking in and called the Kansas City Star.
I called the Lawrence police at 3 o'clock and asked what would happen if a sit-in was organized. The desk sergeant said he didn't know.
Then we had a meeting in O'Leary lounge. I told the students that this wasn't going to be a violent
I TOLD them we would be quiet and orderly and to make no demonstration of any kind, no talking to outsiders, and only the leaders would do the talking.
The idea was that if she (the proprietress) came over to serve us, we would have the Negro served first. If she asked to serve a white, the white was to ask that the Negro be served first. They had to receive first class service.
Someone suggested I call Tom Heitz, (Kansas City, Mo., junior) and he stressed non-violence over the phone.
There was to be no congregating next to the doors and we would only put an amount of people in the bar that could comfortably stand or sit. Those that couldn't get in were to move away from the building.
WE ALL MET at the A & P parking lot across the street (from the bar) and Tom enumerated the rules and regulations of non-violence.
There were approximately 40 of us. We divided into small groups with about equal numbers of Negroes and whites.
(Hetz participated in stand-ins in Kansas City this summer with the NAACP and was acquainted with the principles of non-violent demonstrations.)
Then the first group went into the bar.

Charles A. Leone, professor of zoology, has received a $28,067 renewal grant from the U.S. Public Health Service for two additional years of study on "Potentiation of Antigens by Gamma-Ray Irradiation."
Christianity Transformed
"We can say that in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries the old medieval ideal of Christianity is no longer with us," said Vaclov Mudroch, instructor of history.
Mr. Mudroch made this statement in a speech last night to the History Club on the "Transformation of Religion from Medieval to Modern Times."
He said there were many reasons for this, one of which was nationalism. As an example he cited the case of Germany. He said Germany did not attack the Soviet Union to destroy a godless society, but under the slogan of blood and soil.
He also pointed out that the United
States went to war to make the world safe for democracy a political idea-not Christianity.
Mr. Mudroch said the dissolution of Christian ideas came with the development of science. Describing the eighteenth century rationalists, he said:
Some carried this to the final conclusions and said that the universe was really Godless he added.
"What these people were trying to establish was a world dominated by reason with a place for God in the background. They of course influenced all subsequent decades."
"This made it easy for Nietzsche to say 'God is dead,'" he said.
