ed at least seven students ami two
leeching brothers.
It could not be Icrned immed-
iately if Fidel Castro's regime
it .1 launched a widespread move-
ment against the church or its af-
filiates notations between Castro
and the church hierarchy have
worsened steadily in recent months
because of the church leaders' re-
peated criticisms of the Commun-
ist influence in Castro's govern-
ment.
Church sources said militiamen
raided the headquarters of the
Catholic University Association,
the l.a Salle Convent and the Con-
vent of San Francisco in Eastern
Havana.

University Association and two
teaching brothers on the l.a Salle

Prior to the report of the raids
Archbishop Enrique Perez So-

Havana, reportedly to confer with
church leaders on the issuance of

Troops arc on the move every-
where on the islar.l. Anti-aircraft

picturesque sea-front, and the cap-
ital resounds to the movement of
grim-faced civilian soldiers. Mi-
litia men and women are patroling
rooftops with machineguns at the
ready.
Castro has charged that the Eis-
enhower administration is prepar-
ing to invade by January 18. two

U \SIIINGTON i.f« — Michigan

lie would succeed President-elect
Kennedy as chairman and could
work on a measure dear to Ken-
nedy's heart a $1.25 hourly wage

McN'amara could lake the job on
a seniority basis. The Michigan Se-
nator also was the ranking mem-
ber on another important ubcom-
mittee, education, and thus could
have become head ol that group,
lis chairman. Democrat James
Murray of Montana, left Congress

Secretary of State Herter went
befort the senate foreign relations
committee today for a confidential
briciing to the lawmakers on for-
eign trouble spots. The crisis in
Cuba and Civil war in Laos are al-
most certain to come up.
Herter is apt to get a sympa-
thetic ear from the committee on
aspects of the Cuban situation since
most of the committee members
have voiced support of President
Eisenhower's cutting of diplomat it-
ties with Cuba. On Laos, the recep-
tion Herter will get it less certain.
Despite a flurry of allied opinoins
to the contrary the U. S. still in-
sists llussia and other Communist •

Bombings Fail
To Stop Pleas
Of De Gaulle
The crucial referendum oil the
i future of w ar-torn Algeria's liiture
has begun in the Algerian countr>-
side. By Sunday night, all of Al-
geria and all ol France vvill have
li;.l a chance to vole on President.
De Gaulle's plan for Algerian sell-
dctcrmination.
As the voting commenced. De
Gaulle addressed his people on
* tlecvisiou and called lor a mass-
ive "yes" vote so that ncgotia-
i lions among all sides on Algeria's
future could be arranged with the
least delay possible. It was his
third and final personal appeal to
he nation, but lie .lid not repeat
the threat of his last speech that
iic might step down if. he tailed
to get ovcrvvelming support.
The vote will be complete in
both the North African country and
France itself. More than 32 mil-
lion voters are eligible to ballot.
Heavily-armed French security
forces have taken up posts through-
out Algeria to prevent any vio-
lence. Voters can signify a "yes"
or a "no" on De Gaulle's oiler on
self-determination for Algeria,
j They also can stay away from
ilic polls or hand in blank ballots.
It's expected that De Gaulle vvill
wind up with a majority lor his
proposal, but just how big that,
majority might lie is uncertain. A
tight vote or a loss lor De Gaulle
likely would mean that the 70-
j year-old leader might step down
as President ar.l France would re-
vert to the sea of chaos Irom which
i lie rescued it.
A series of time bombs blas'cd
power lines to RMio Algiers to-
day—just before it was to carry
a speech by French President De
Gaulle. Five bombs went oil and
caused major damage but the;
did not stop the relay of De
Gaulle's speech.
The Moslems were asked by
Nationalist rebel leaders to boycott
the voting. Hut a liue ol Moslems
•100 yards long was strung out In
front ol the voting booth in one
village near Oran. In the town ot
Valmy, a heavily French area,
only 50 of 3.000 registered voters
had cast ballots two hours alter

Kennedy Calls Meeting To Act

NEW YORK <;T"> — The incoming

But this practice of bringing farm
groups together was abandoned
under the Truman and Eisenhower
administrations. That was because
sharp differences developed in the
