Cuba Seizes 167 American Firms
HAVANA, Cuba —(UPI) The revolutionary government an- announced the seizure and forced expropriation today of 167 American companies and firms in reprisal for the recently-imposed U.S. economic embargo against Cuba.
There was no immediate official estimate of the total value of the latest firms seized, but observers believed they were worth about $200 million.
THE DECREE was signed by Premier Fidel Castro and President Osvaldo Dorticos and specifically said the measure was imposed in response to the embargo imposed by Washington last week.
The move came only 10 days after Castro's regime took over another 282 firms in a drive that now has put virtually all private businesses and industrial enterprises in government hands.
AMONG THE NEW ones are Burrus Flour Mills, Coca Cola, Canada Dry, F. W. Woolworth, Sears, Roebuck & Co., General Electric, Westinghouse Electric, Remington Rand and International Harvester.
Among the 167 firms expropriated today are many which have been under intervention for the past several months.
The new ones also include the Reynolds Aluminum Co. and 30 insurance companies representing such firms as Pan American Life Insurance, Home Insurance Co. Hartford Fire Insurance Co., Maryland Casualty Co. and the United States Life Insurance Co.
There also were a number of supermarkets and drug houses seized.
THE DECREE virtually wipes out all important remaining American business interests in Cuba.
State Battle Going

FRANK THEIS, Democratic candidate for U.S. Senator, has levied another charge against Sen. Andrew F. Schopeel (R-Kan) and his alleged law firm in Wichita.
"Another typical example of the incumbent Senator's serious position of conflict of interest is his strongly violent opposition to statehood for Alaska." Theis told a Cherokee County rally.
"Though the Senator claims he only voted against Alaskan statehood three times, actually it was 10 times covering a period from 1952 to 1958."
Theis said a possible explanation could be found in Wichita. "Listed in the leading legal director of Martindale-Hubbell, as a client of the Scheeppel law firm of Foulston, Siefkin, Schoeppel, Bartlett and Powers, is the Colorado Interstate Gas Co." he said.
"Many big oil and gas interests were opposed to Alaskan statehood."
REP. NEWELL GEORGE (D-Kan) has sharply criticized the Defense Department for its proposal to move the Naval Air Technical Training Unit from Olathe Naval Air Station to Glencoe, Ga.
George told a Johnson County Democratic gathering here that the move "would be murderous and criminal."
He added, "The safety of the men should be the paramount consideration to the Department of Defense. The clear air space and free area at all levels at Olathe is much better and much safer than at Glyco."

Fong Campaigns For Republicans

tween the philosophies of the two parties and the two candidates is that the Democrats believe in big governments and we don't, he said.
If the Kennedy-Johnson ticket is elected it would be like putting a split personality in the White House because they have disagreed 238 times on issues in the past, he continued.

Sen. Fong said:
"All foreign relations issues should revolve around whether we can preserve peace without further loss of territory. When President Eisenhower took office many European countries had been swallowed up by the Iron Curtain, Red China had been established and Communist activity was at its highest in several Asiatic nations. Since he has been in office, no more nations have been lost to the Communists. There are only three dictatorships remaining in Latin America from the 11 which were in existence when Mr. Eisenhower was elected A policy must be established to continue his good work.
"FOR THE PAST 20 years the Senate has been in the middle of the road no matter how great the majority of one party was," Sen. Fong said in answer to a question. "The fact that the President and the control of Congress is in two different parties doesn't make as much difference in unity as geographical and occupational differences."
One of the greatest hindrances to American prestige abroad is outdated immigration laws, Sen. Fong said.
"At the present time only 2,000 immigrants from the Asian triangle are admitted to the United States annually." Sen. Fong said. "This means that if all the nations had prospective immigrants less than 100 per nation could be admitted. Many critics of raising the quotas have said that we are trying to Asiatic this nation but it would be impossible. Only one half of one per cent of the population is Asiatic now and an increase in the immigration quota would scarely change this."

UN Mobilizes Forces To Stop Mobutu Move
LEOPOLDVILLE. The Congo — (UPI) — Informed sources disclosed that United Nations forces have taken up positions along the Thysville-Leopoldville highway today in an effort to prevent Congolese strongman Col. Joseph Mobutu from bringing troop reinforcements into the capital.
The sources said the U.N. forces are armed with heavy equipment including anti-tank guns. If Mobutu presses ahead with plans to bring the 30-vehicle armored brigade from Thysville, a military clash could result.
Gen. I. Rikhye, special military adviser to the U.N. forces, was reported to have issued a strong warning to Mobutu not to try to bring in the elite armored brigade.
Mobutu, whose grip over the Congo political situation has been slipping recently and whose Congoles army troops already in Leopoldville have been rampaging in drunken violence in parts of the city, apparently planned to bolster his position with the armored force.
To counter this move, the sources reported that U.N. troops were placed at key points along the twisting 100-mile road that runs northeast from Thysville to Leopoldville.
There also were unconfirmed reports that the Thysville troops were being trained by four Belgian officers. The reports said the U.N. command has asked the four Belgians to leave, but that they still were in the Thysville military camp.
