Castro Sets Sugar For Cub HAVANA - Prime Min ister Fidel Castro will open Cuba's longest and most ambi-, tious sugar harvest with a tele vised speech Monday in Oriente Province. The harvest is expected to run until next July in an effort to reach a record 10 million metric tons production. The old record is 7.2 million tons in 1952, seven years before Castro came to power. That harvest ran less than six months. Castro has declared the honor of his government and revolu tion rest on reaching the 10-mil lion ton mark. The unprecedented early start is necessary to meet unpaid bills for this year, Castro said. Cuba nas had two poor harvests in succession, throwing the economy into deep trouble. In recent years harvests have begun in November, and offi cials acknowledge sugar yield in July and August may be as low, as 4 per cent from cane ground.. But they say they must cut cane' now to meet foreign commit ments, reach 10 million tons and' provide cattle feed. Foreign observers, including, some from East European cean-j tries, sny everything will have to work perfectly for the gov-; ernment to reach its goal. This observation was echoed Friday by Armando Hart, Com munist party organizing secre tary. another Raleigh store, but were gift wrapped in Hudaon Belk.

ABM Deployment Delay Envisioned WASHINGTON Senate debate of the Safeguard antiballistic missile system, enters its second week Monday, with ABM supporters contending deployment will be delayed for another year no matter what Congress does. In an exchange virtually overlooked late Friday, Sens. John Tower, R-Tex., and Barry M. Goldwater, R-Ariz., said the Defense Department had no intention of installing ABM computers, radars or missiles at the initial proposed sites in Montana and North Dakota between now and next July 1. All the Pentagon hopes to accomplish in the next year, they said, is to acquire radars and computers and a limited number of missiles for eventual deployment. "We are doing precisely what he is seeking to do," Goldwater said of Sen. John Sherman Cooper, R-Ky., who is sponsor with Sen. Philip A. Hart, D- Mich., of an amendment that would specifically prohibit use of any of the proposed $759.1 million ABM spending authority tor tHe 1969-70 fiscal year for I deployment of the Safeguard. Deployment—the actual em placement of the ABM at sites in the United States—is what the debate is all about. No senator is on record opposing further research and develop ment. Sentiment on the issue still is evenly divided. Sen. Winston Prouty, R-Vt., one of three uncommitted senators, reserved an hour's time on the floor Monday to announce his posi tion. It was widely expected that he would follow the lead of his fellow Vermont Republican, Sen. George Aiken, and oppose deployment. That would give ABM opponents a 50-48 edge over supporters in the UPI poll of the Senate lineup on the issue. Tower and Goldwater argued that there was no need for the Cooper-Hart amendment in view of the Pentagon's inten tions, and that its adoption would be a slap in the face of the Administration. No Reason Cooper said that with no deployment planned for another year, there was no reason to oppose the amendment, which he termed a harmless com promise designed to spare an unwanted showdown. Cooper said it would merely postpone the deployment decision to find out whether the Soviet Union is serious about strategic arms control talks with the United StdtfiS The $759.1 million ABM authorization, part of a S2O Crossword Puzzle i I* "7TTT" is ijxxscyx>©QQdT"T7 T 7B"T9™TJo"™ across 88a & 88 1.

"I do not think we would be ready to deploy by the end of this fiscal year anyway," he said. Sen. John C. Stennis, D-Miss., Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, questioned whether the Cooper - Hart amendment would prevent the use of $196 million in funds already appropriated by Con gress for acquisition of ABM sites. Cooper was not on the floor at the time, but a spokesman acknowledged during the week end that this would be the case. He said Cooper could see no reason for buying ABM sites if the Defense Department has no plans for the next year to put anything on them. Important Issue Facing Congress On Medicare Issue WASHINGTON - Will the Federal medicare program run roughshod over State's Rights and over the patient's freedom of choice of health services? This is an important issue fac ing Congress now, according to Dr. Gerald M. Brassard, Presi dent of the American Chiro practic Association. "Although the first two sec tions of the medicare law are captioned, "Prohibition Against Any Federal Interference' (Section 1801) and 'Free Choice by Patient Guaranteed' (Section 1802), in its present form the medicare law violates both of these principles by its failure to include coverage for the health services provided by doctors of chiropractic and other healing arts." Unwed Mothers Win Chance To Complete Their Education GRENADA, MISSISSIPPI — "The fact that a girl has one child out of wed lock does not forever brand her as a scarlet woman undeserving of any chance for rehabilitation or the opportunity for future edu cation." That was part of a federal court ruling won last week by the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund INC! Because of the ruling, two Negro girls in Mississippi-Clydie Marie Perry, 19 and Emma Jean Wilson, 16-have the op portunity to return to school next September. The girls became pregnant two years ago. Miss Perry was in the eleventh grade and Miss Wilson was completing eighth grade. They had until LDF won last week's ruling, been denied readmission to schools in Grenada, Miss, where they both live. School board officials con tending that their presence would be a bad influence on other students. LDF attorneys argued that the girls rights under the Equal Protection Clause of the Four teenth Amendment of the Con stitution were violated by the IT'S A FINANCIAL FACT P4FLATION COMBS TO PINNER V THE PILGRIMS COULD SPBBAt?

The federal court agrees, holding thta the girls may not be excluded from school for the sole reason that they had regained the respect of their community. The court noted that un wed mothers who are allowed to continue their education are less likely to have a second Illegitimate child and said "it seems patently unreasonable that the girls should not have the opportunity to be read mitted on the basis of their changed moral and physical condition." LDF officials said that keep ing the girls out of school for the past two years was another example of whta meas ures southern school officials are willing to take to prevent integration. If the girls had been seeking readmission to an all black school LDF officials contend, it is quiet likely that no dif ficulty whatever would have arisen.
