Talmadge gets denounced
WASHINGTON (AP)—The Senate voted overwhelmingly yesterday to denounce Herman Talmade, one of its most senior attorneys, for "apprehensible" handling of government funds.
The 81-15 vote brought to a close months of investigation by the Senate Ethics Committee and a brief debate on the Senate floor. It was the first time the Senate has used the word "denounce" in expressing disapproval of the actions of one of its members.
SEN. ADLAI STEVENSON III, D-II,
chairman of the ethics panel, had urged
the Senate to accept the panel's resolution
of denunciation.
Both Kansas senators, Republicans Robert Dole and Nancy Kassebauer, voted "yes" in the roll call vote against Sen. Talmadge, D-Ga.
While Stewson listened the charges of financial misconduct against Talmadge, the Georgia Democrat sat quietly in the Senate chamber with his lawyer.
Immediately after the vote, Telmade took the floor to say that he had made mistakes of negligence and that he regretted them.
"I ACCEPT THE committee's criticism that the senators should be held to much higher standards of commonplace." Talmadge said. "In the past, I hardened heavy criticism at our meetings."
Talmadge could face further discipline from Democratic members of the Senate, who could strip him of his seniority and of his posts as chairman of the Agriculture Department, a second-ranking Democrat on the Finance Committee. But such action appeared unlikely.
SEN. HARRISON SCIMITT, R.N.M., the senior Republican on the ethics panel, said that based on historical precedents and conventions, he thinks the Maladie should be censured, not denounced.

MINCHEW, who has been sentenced to serve four months in prison on charges similar to those made against Talmage, has said he gave Talmage cash from a bank account that included campaign contributions and false expense funds.
Stevenson said the committee discovered that Talmadge had failed to report more than $10,000 in campaign contributions, but not all of them were from the illegal conversion of the funds.
In the first hour of debate, there were no

Fidel Castro arrives in rare visit to U.S.
NEW YORK (AP)—Cuban President Fidel Castel, making his first trip to the United States in 19 years, flew into New York early evening amid tight security.
U. N. CHEIF of Protocol Aly Teymour greeted Castro, who was overheard to reply: "I'm happy to be in the U.S."
Castro's Russian-made Hybison-62 jet landed at 11:38 a.m. CDT on a remote runway at Kennedy International Airport, airport officials said.
The Cuban dictator, dressed in green fatigues, stuffed a cigar into his mouth and tipped his hat as he descended the stairs of the building. He is S.U.N. officials and security personnel.

ABOUT 2,000 New York City police officers, many wearing helmets and bulletproof vests, joined Secret Service agents
and security guards from Havana to throw a protective ring around Castro's local headquarters.

U. spokenkun Rudolf Staudhair said, "We were there on Friday and Assembly at noon today. Other details of the visit, including the length of his stay, were discussed and would be made public."
PLANS FOR THE visit have been shrunched in secrecy, partly due to the security problems associated with the Cuban leader.
U. N. Secretary General Kurt Waldheim was not informed of the visit until last Friday, and Castro's arrival date was not announced until Wednesday.
