Offices in Graham Memorial WEDNESDAY, APRIL 11, 1962 Complete UPI Wire Service " ' Cuban Exiles Bargaining For Invaders HAVANA (UPI) Four Cuban exiles arrived Tuesday to try to scale down Premier Fidel Castro's $62 million ransom demand for the freedom of 1,179 Bay of Pigs in vaders. They went immediately into seclusion. The exiles, representing the so called Cuban Families Committee for the Liberation of Prisoners of War, included Alvaro Canchez Jr., chairman; Enrique Llaca, vice treasurer; (Mrs. Virginia Beten court and Enrique Freyre. They were met on their 9 a.m. arrival from Miami by a Castro army captain and an unidentified couple, and sped through customs and immigration. They followed a little used road from the airport to Havana and were reported t ohave been "settled down in a private residence pre viously arranged for their use. Await Nxt Move There was no immediate indica tion when the delegation members would meet with Castro, or whether the bargaining for the re lease of the prisoners, captured during last April's abortive Bay of Pigs invasion, would be conducted on a lower level. Sanchez told newsmen at the airport he could not say anything for publication until the negotia tions got under way. "We are here with the best in tentions of negotiating and reach ing definitive conclusions" with respect to the prisoners as a group, he said. He said he did not know who would represent the govern ment in the talks. He said the Castro permit to come to Cuba was signed only by an immigra tion department functionary. Prior to their departure for Ha vana from Miami, Sanchez said the delegation had been author ized to offer $28 million in "goods and products" to meet Castro's stiff ransom demand. However, the Cuban premier is seeking cash in U.S. dollars for ffie' release of the men, sentenced last-Saturday to 30 years at hard labor in an unprecedented four day mass trial at Havana's Prin cipe prison. Legislature Di-Plii Topic For Debate The role of the student legislature will be debated by the Di-Phi to night as the group considers "A Resolution Advocating that the Student Legislature Confine Itself to Issues Pertaining Directly to the Studen Body and Camputs of UNC."

The resolution, which was intro duced by Bill Philips, is expected to stimulate lively debate between those who feel that conditions on campus merit the complete atten tion of the Legislature and those who want a "broad" interpretation of the role of the Student Legis lature. The resolution, ifp assed, would request that the Speaker of the Legislature read the resolution be fore the Student Legislature as sembled. This issue, which has been the subject of much controversy in the past, was brought to the surface by (he recent passage by the Leg islature of "A Resolution Concern ing Nuclear Testing." All persons have been invited to attend and, if they desire, to par ticipate in the debate. Refresh ments will be served after the session. AT FACULTY CLUB Anthropologist Discusses N.

He began by describing the Is raeliArab dispute and contrasted its improvised practices then with the present peace-keeping mission which now settles border disputes. He then traced the growth of the UN . Executive branch under the leadership of Dag Hammerskold as the late Secretary guided UN forces in Gaza in 1956, in Lebanon in 1958 and in the Congo operation U. Of Mich.'s X.J. Next In N.C. Poetry Circui Michigan poet X. J. Kennedy has been selected as the second poet to participate in the North Carolina Poetry Circuit. He will begin his tour of the eight North Carolina colleges in the circuit late this month. The circuit was formed last Nov ember by Howard Webber, editor-in-chief of the UNC Press, to bring young but not altoerher estab lished poets to colleges and univer sities of the state. One Virginia college is formally a part of the Circuit but will not participate this time. Author Of "Nude" Thirty-one-year-old Kennedy, au thor of "Nude Descending a Stair case," which won an Avery Hop wood Award before publication and later was the Lamont Selection of the Academy of American Poets, will be reading his poetry to stu dents at East Carolina, Duke, Dav idson, Woman's College, Wake For est, State, Campbell, and UNC. A good illustration of a point sel dom made, that poetry can be fun and literary too, are many of Ken nedy's poems. "Epitaph for a Postal Clerk" reads, in entirety: "Here lies wrapped up tight in sod Henry Harkins co God. On the day of Resurrection May be opened for inspection." Of his humor, much admired by all who have read him, writer Donald Hall has praised Kennedy this way: "Other young poets are witty; many of Kennedy's poets are wit itself. No one writing is capable of the effects in which Kennedy specializes." Poetry Editor In November last year the young poet succeeded Donald Hall as poetry editor for "The Paris Re view." Already this year the poet has read his works at the Poetry Cen ter of the YM-YWCA in New York; over the BBC Third Programme and the Pacifica Foundation FM network, WBAI, New York; and Banjos that is "still far from completed." The UN's authority, he said, "has grown tremendously since 1943, mainly through its acceptance by the world as a fair and effec tive mediator of international dis putes." "The UN still has far from ade quate authority," he stated, "to fulfill its peacemaking role." Problems Of African Independence In describing the problems of emerging African nationalism, and particularly the problems of ttie Congo, he said that the world real izes that much of Africa is not ready for self-rule, but that it is impossible to say exactly when a on the campuses of Cornell, Wash ington University (St. Louis), Rut gers, Michigan, Michigan Dearbon Center, and Wayne State Univer sity in Detroit. Kennedy is currently an instruc tor in English at the University of Michigan. He received the 1961 Bess Hokin award of "Poetry" magazine, was a 1960 Bread Loaf Fellow in Poetry and held a 1961 fellowship at Yaddo. Addition To Circuit George Garrett, bartender, foot ball coach, Texaco prospector, sol dier and college professor, was the first poet to tour the state Poetry Circuit. Editor Webber states that "as many as four hundred students heard him speak at one of the participatign schools, and the audi ences at all the schools seemed interested and enthusiastic." "Probably the best testimony to the Circuit," Webber says, "is that one more school is participating this time than last Campbell Col- YRCHear Prof. King This Evening The "Conservative Revolution" will be discussed by Professor James King of the UNC History Dept. at tonight's meeting of the Young Republicans Club at 7:30 in the Law School Courtroom, The program was planned in keeping with the Symposium last week, according t0 YRC President Earl Baker, who said, "We feel that the college students of today recognize the failure cf New Deal nostrums which the Democrats are exhuming today. This is why the Conservative revolution exists." King teaches in the History Dept. and specializes in intellectual his tory.

"In this situation," he said, "the UN is the best and perhaps only means of insuring a free Africa." He then stated that many of the future problems of Africa will arise from the problem of race re lations. South Africa and Algeria were cited by Bunche as recent examples of the problems caused by this conflict. "The future solutions to these problems, he said, lies wi'ii the individual's attitudes &d ideas. The walls between peoples must be broken down so that discrimina tion can be eliminated and peace preserved." Kennedy lege. Our circuit is not only the first in the South but the largest in the nation. "This," he said, "is a real cul tural achievement for our state." WARN RUSSIA: A-Test In egm eek! WASHINGTON (UPI) The Unit ed States and Britain . sternly ad vised Russia Tuesday that Ameri ca will start atmospheric nuclear tests within three weeks at the most unless -Moscow agrees to a fool-proof test ban agreement. In Russia, Western observers saw little chance that Russia would react favorably. The betting was that Premier Nikita' Khrushchev would simply reiterate his previous stand and his threat to resume test ing iithe United States goes ahead. The big two Allies told the So viets there was still time for them to accept a test ban treaty that in corporates the "cardinal" prin ciple of international inspection. But if Russia does not, "the test series scheduled for the latter part of this month will have to go for ward." The warning was issued simul taneously by the White House and read before the House of Com mons by British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan. It also appear ed to be aimed at the court of world opinion, especially neutral nations and such anti-test countries as Japan. "We continue to hope that the Soviet government may reconsid er their position and express their readiness to accept the principle of international verification," the joint U. S.-British statement said. The White House said the state ment was delivered to the Krem lin Monday nigh. Macmillan also sent a personal communication to Khrushchev.
