The communique said Guevara and Soviet leaders exchanged views "in connection with the threats of aggressive imperialist quarters with regard to Cuba." Help Is Requested "In view of these threats the Government of the Cuban Republic addressed the Soviet Government with a request for help by delivering armaments and sending technical speciil-ists for training Cuban servicemen," it continued. "The Soviet Government tentatively considered this request of the Government of Cuba, and agreement was reached on this question.

As long as the above-mentioned quarters continued threatening Cuba, the Cuban Republic has every justification for taking necessary measures to ensure its security and safeguard its sovereignty and independence while Cuba's true friends have every right to respond to this legitimate request." Continued from First Page ings in Cuba in April, 1961, Khrushchev, without making a specific military commitment, warned President John F. Kennedy that the Soviet Union would render Cuba all necessary assistance to beat back an armed attack. The Castro forces crushed the rebels quickly, using Soviet military equipment. Russians Not Told The Soviet people have not been told of the military aid already provided Cuba. Several Cuban military missions have visited Moscow without the result of their negotiations being announced.

A recent one was the mission headed by Defense Minister Raoul Castro, which was here in July. Soviet news media Sunday night informed the Soviet people of the new military commitment to Cuba. Western observers here regarded the Soviet announcement as an indication that Moscow now regards its strategic stake in Cuba to be worth the risks of a policy of open military aid. Supply Line Vulnerable Although the Soviet Union possesses long range rocket power, it lacks the naval and air capabilities to protect a military supply line to Cuba, should it be blocked by U.S. forces in the Caribbean.

The situation remained quiet until about 6 p.m., when the crowd began its push' down the main street and was met by police. Governor Mark Hatfield had called some 40 national guardsmen from nearby Camp Rilea following reports that students planned to storm the jail ia an effort to free those being held. They joined some 70 State policemen in an attempt to preserve order for the rest of.

Moscow Stirs Up Rumors On Cuba aged many wells and other underground water systems. Prime Minister Assadullah Alam railed on Iranians to find room in their homes for homeless and injured.

The quake, which shook Tehran ct 10:52 p.m. Saturday and awakened almost everyone in the Capital, lasted only a minute. But it was clear it had dealt Iran one of its most serious earthquake disasters. Thousands in the capital, awakened by the tremors, rushed into the street in panic. There was only minor damage here, however.

The scene of more than 200 quakes in the last 50 years, Iran was hit by the latest devastation on the 39th anniversary' of the Tokyo earthquake of i923, which took nearly lives. Area Described Saturday night's shock centered around Takistan (formerly known as Siadehan) Official reports said, however, the earthquake shook a long arc extending from Astara, a port at the southwest corner of the Caspian Sea on the border with Soviet Russia, to Behebe-han, some 60 miles east of the Persian Gulf oil center of Abadan. "A catastrophic quake," said Faenza officials. Italy, Greece, and other areas in the Mediterranean were shaken by two earthquake series last week, and scientists here described the latest shock as a continuation of the Mediterranean tremors. They estimated that the latest quake took place at a depth of about 30 miles.

Iran's last major earthquate. in December, 1957, killed 1.288 persons in west Iran. Two earthquakes killed nearly 500 people at the southern city of Lar in April, 1960. Husband Stabs Wife To Death Over Cooking St. Louis, Sept.

Few complaints were heard, here or elsewhere, about the grounding of civilian planes that affected an estimated 1,800 airline flights. At Fort Knox, about 75 men of the 784th Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron spent the day at their plane-tracking equipment Waj.

Donald R. Thomas, squadron commander, reported at 5 pjn. that no contact had been made with test Air Force planes in the Louisville area. "The nearest activity is in Tennessee, Indiana, anl Ohio," he said. Local Units Inactive Neither the Kentucky Air Na-tional Guard nor Air Force Reserve units here took part in the test.

Airlines canceled about 30 flights through Louisville yesterday, partly because of the test and partly because of an expected lull in holiday travel ing. "Thursday, Friday, and Saturday were good days," an airline employee said. "Things probably won't pick up again until Monday afternoon and Tuesday. The travelers will begin returning from Labor Day vacations then." Bus Travel Declines Bus travel declined slightly yesterday after a busy Saturday. "We had to put on an extra 75 to 80 buses Saturday," Greyhound Bus Lines dispatcher Bill Smith said.

Most of the extra buses were used to carry soldiers between Louisville and Fort Knox, he said. "It was payday out there." An occasional rush of travelers was reported at Union Station, but no extra railroad passenger cars were put into service. At Central Station, a Chesapeake Ohio Railway agent said that line had been putting extra cars and sleepers on its daily Washington-bound train since Friday.

He began to cut tomatoes in the kitchen, but became angrier and thrust the knife at her, saying, "here, you finish the job." He turned away and when he looked again, Cochran said, she was on the floor, bleeding. She died about 15 minutes later.

Continued from First Page nuclear weapons being Imported. Missile Bases Reported Yet Sunday, Senator Strom Thurmond S. claimed, without revealing his sources, that at least four bases for intermediate-range ballistic missiles have been built. Intemediate-range missiles fired from Cuba could reach much of the Eastern Seaboard and virtually all the Southeastern and Gulf Coast states. But the widest differences of all arise in trying to determine the real use of all the military hardware and manpower.

The more convinced of the let's-invade Cuba now people insist it's intended for ultimate offensive use against the United States, or, at the very least, for armed overthrow of U. S. -aligned Latin-American governments. Cuban Attacks Doubted Military men generally scoff at the idea of attacks from Cuba against the U. S.

mainland and would be surprised even by any effort to throw U. S. forces out of the big Guantanamo naval base on the island. State Department people feel that the very last thing Castro wants is a sure-enough shooting war with Uncle Sam. He does want to keep his people united behind him by constantly threatening them with American invasion and probably hopes in the process to keep their minds off such everyday matters as food and money.

Might Hint Real Trouble There is some degree of agreement between the Administration and its critics that the heavy military buildup might reflect Castro's fears of invasion and revolution not necessarily in that order. In this connection, those who discount reports of the presence of Soviet combat troops Exiles Ask U. S. To Match Aid Like Russians Washington, Sept. 2 The young Cuban who led a hit-and-run sea raid on Havana said Sunday that his student group demands from the United States "the same help Castro is receiving from the Soviet Union.

Isidoro Borja, military-affairs director of the Cuban Student Directorate, added in a television interview, however, that he thought it was possible for Cubans in exile to overthrow the regime of Premie Fidel Castro "without direct intervention by the United States." Twenty-three members of Jiorja group, operating a cabin cruiser and a PT boat, fired machine guns and a cannon at a hotel in the Miramar area of Havana August 24. Reports from Cuba indicated that there were no casualties and that damage to the hotel was minor. note that if they were there, it might well indicate Castro is in deeper trouble than even his bitterest enemies claim. It could mean that he just doesn't trust his armed forces which number around and are far larger than those of any other Latin-American nation to show the will and ability to cope with either invasion or a full-scale internal rebellion. But, on the same tack, these observers doubt that Moscow would commit many fighting men to shore up a sagging Castro and most emphatically would not risk hemisphere-wide condemnation by letting Russians participate in any revolutionary fighting in other Latin-American countries.

Halaty said he had only seen an interim report and had not yet made up his mind what to do about the final report, which was due Friday. He said that eight years ago, the average volume of near-miss reports was four a day. He added that flying safety has increased steadily, but so has the volume of air traffic, so that near misses are likely to remain a serious problem until the air-traffic system has been improved so greatly that the danger has been "reduced to the irreducible minimum." Ilalaby said that shortly after he came into office 18 months ago he commissioned the Flight Safety Foundation of New York to make these studies. He asked also that all pilots file their near-miss reports with the foundation. When he commissioned the foundation survey, Halaby said his technical colleagues warned him: "All you will do is get a lot of unverified, un-verifiable reports attacking the traffic control system." "I am afraid they were right," Ilalaby said.

"I am sure the final report will show many more near misses than we have in our files." He explained that if the F.A.A. gets a near-collision report it must take action to find out the circumstances. Inspectors are assigned to each case and every report is verfied as far as possible. Worries About Scare Headlines Halaby said that if the foundation's report were issued indiscriminately, he could see such scare headlines as "Independent Body Attacks Air Traffic Control System Number of near misses reported." "How can we put public information out and get the whole story across?" he asked. "A pilot lands, fills out a report, doesn't even say who he is an anonymous, unverified report, often filed out of pique," Ilalaby said.

"How can we publish it in a responsible way?" Ilalaby said his staff is trying to work out some way to give both sides of the problem and put the reports into proper perspective. He added that, this "might take some time to do." By VERN HAUGLAM) Attociotod Prott Washington, Sept. 2. The Federal Aviation Agency had on its hands Sunday a document almost too hot to handle a study of pilot reports of narrow escapes from collisions. N.

E. Halaby, F.A.A. administrator, acknowledged at a news conference last Thursday that he has not yet decided what to do about making the statistics public. He indicated he fears that the unverified figures might be so exaggerated as to do more harm than good. One publication said the confidential study indicated that near-miss incidents occur at the rate of more than 2,900 a year.
