Russian Plans Cuban Troop Withdrawal
WASHINGTON - (UPI) The Soviet Union has informed the United States that it plans to pull out "several thousand" of its military forces in Cuba by March 15, diplomatic sources said today.
Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev's intention to withdraw the troops was disclosed in a communication from the Kremlin received here yesterday through Soviet Ambassador Anatoly D. Fobrynin.
THE SOVIET promise gave no indication what was meant by "several thousand" troops and it was said more specific information would have been welcomed by the Kennedy administration.
However, the promise was seen here as a useful and constructive move which would help lower some of the tension in the Caribbean.
The Soviet message, relayed from Dobrynin to the White House by Secretary of State Dean Rusk, sparked last night's secret White House meeting at which President Kennedy told Congressional leaders of the Russian promise. Senate Democratic leader Mike Mansfield said today that that meeting might lead to a more bipartisan approach to Cuba and other foreign policy matters.
Mansfield did not comment further about other topics discussed at the meeting with the President.
There are believed to be about 17,000 Soviet troops in Cuba, including 6,000 organized into combat units.
The promise to remove at least part of them was not a personal message from Khrushchev but a foreign office communication sent through regular diplomatic channels.
HIGH OFFICIAL sources flatly denied speculative reports that Khrushchev might be seeking a parallel withdrawal of U.S. forces from some touch point on Russia's boundary in return for removing his combat units from Cuba.
One source present at the White House meeting said there was "no quid pro quo" in the Soviet promise, "no hint of one."

Another advocate, James French, past president of the Liberal school board, told of the difficulties of students in his area in southwest Kansas in locating a close college to attend.
FRENCE SAID the Universities of Oklahoma and New Mexico were actually closer than the closest Kansas universities.
D. P. Carey, Hutchinson industrialist of the Carey Salt Co., also supported the bill.
"Aren't we fortunate indeed to have this university -- ready-made and operating -- to incorporate into our system as a state university," Carey said.
"The Senate bill is direct, clear and unequivocal in giving the State Board of Regents complete control," Carey said. "In view of this I was shocked to learn the Kansas City Star had suggested that passing it in its current form would create an intolerable situation for the regents."

Kennedy Supports Combined Tax Bill
WASHINGTON —(UPI)—Democratic congressional leaders indicated after meeting with President Kennedy today that he still insists upon tying reforms to his tax reduction program.
Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield conceded however, that "it isn't up to the administration now." Congress will decide whether the two—whose packaging has been strongly criticized both in and out of congress--should be considered separately.
"The Administration is sticking to their original intent," Mansfield said. "It is now up to the House Ways & Means Committee. I just meant to emphasize once again what the administration originally proposed."
Mansfield said the Ways & Means Committee hearings on the tax bill are expected to last about a month. The group today scheduled the first round of testimony from private groups on how they feel about the tax package.

Anderson Confident WU Bill Will Pass
TOPEKA — (UPI) — Gov. John Anderson said yesterday he was confident the Kansas House would follow the Senate's lead and pass the Wichita University bill.
However, he said it was possible the House might amend the bill to bring the municipal university into the state system.
Following today's hearing of opponents of the bill, the committee, chaired by Rep. Jess Taylor, R-Greeley County, will decide whether to amend, kill or recommend the bill.
The bill then goes to the House Ways and Means Committee. Both committees must approve the bill, which has already passed the Senate, before it can go to the House floor.
The governor said he did not consider himself bound to the Senate-approved bill — but he indicated strong opposition to weakening it.
Carey said neither his corporation nor any of its subsidiaries owns any taxable property at Wichita,
he did not think the Wichita plan would siphon money away from existing state schools.
Anderson said if Wichita became a center or branch as proposed in the Eurich Report . . . "Then perhaps we should carry this further and include Fort Hays, Pittsburg and Emporia."
Taking issue with the Eurich Report recommendation that Wichita University be placed under a 12-man board made up of present universities administrators, Anderson said it would be better "to simply bring Wichita in under its present status and put it under the complete and full jurisdiction of the (board) of regents."
Next fall's opening of Fred Ellsworth Hall with its accommodations for 650 men—has made possible a shift of dormitory assignments to more nearly meet housing requirements.
New Ellsworth Dormitory Shifts Housing Assignments
J. J. Wilson, dormitory director, and Dean of Men Donald K. Alderson, today announced that next September Carruth-O'Leary Hall, with a capacity of 200, and Grace Pearson Hall, capacity 50, would be shifted from men's to women's occupancy.
Police Seek Two Purse-Snatchers
Two men are being sought today in connection with a purse snatching about 9:50 p.m. yesterday.
"Those who do not wish to 'pioneer' will be given special consideration for the vacancies in Tomplin and Joseph R. Pearson Hall," Wilson said.
The addition of the 650 beds in Fred Ellsworth Hall means a net addition of about 200 spaces for men. Women will gain 250 spaces by transfer of the two smaller halls, while the planned elimination of "tripling up" necessary in several halls this year will absorb about 200 more of the gain.
Dean Alderson and Wilson expressed hope that many returnees from halls being shifted to women would want to transfer to the new gred Ellsworth Hall.
Sue Ann Erhart, Lawrence freshman, told police she was walking north on Louisiana Street between 11th and 12th streets last night when two men passed her.
She said one of the men grabbed her purse, and both men ran.
Peace Corps to Meet in May
She described the man who grabbed her purse as about 5 feet 3 inches tall, with blond hair. She said he was wearing a light blue jacket. The other man she described as about 5 feet 5 inches tall, and sloppily dressed.
Men's halls in addition to Ellsworth will be Joseph R. Pearson and Templin Halls. KU women will live in Corbin, Gertrude Sellards Pearson, Lewis and Hashinger Halls as well as Carruth-O'Leary and Grace Pearson.
A statewide Peace Corps conference will be held at the University of Kansas May 3-4. The conference will include parents of Peace Corps volunteers, students and Peace Corps liaison officers from colleges, universities and high schools in Kansas.
