Governor (Contests
By the Associated Press
Vote recounts to settle still un
decided Nov. 6 election contests
are under way in South Dakota
and Massachusetts t o d a y but a
court of still unopened absentee
and shut-in ballots that will decide
a governor’s race in Rhode Island
has been delayed.
Democrat G e o r g e McGovern
held a 326-vote lead over Sen. Joe
Dot turn. Republican incumbent, in
the South Dakota race for senator
with canvasses complete in all but
two counties.
A recount begins there today to
enable the state canvassing board
to certify a winner.
In Massachusetts, the recount to
settle a contest for governor has
moved into Cambridge, Prmeeior
and Lakeville. A final statewide
total is not expected for another
two weeks.
Democrat Endicett Peabody de
feated incumbent Republican Gov.
John A. Volpe by an official 3,091
votes in the original count. Re
counts completed so far have re
vised some figures but the changes
balance each other and the result
■so far is a precise stand-off.
In Rhode Island, Albert J. La
Marre, chairman of the board of
elections, said the count of some
6,000 absentee and shut-in ballots
will not get under way until late
Tuesday.
The delay was caused by Re
publican officials asking that the
ballots from unregistered service
men bo numbered before they are
counted so they may be identi
fied for challenging if necessary.
Machine totals in the race gave
Republican John Chafee a 77-vote
lead over Democratic Gov. John
Notte Jr.

Castro Offers to Allow Inspection
In Return for U.N. Confirmation
Of Dismantling of Caribbean Bases
HAVANA W—The Castro gov
ernment offered today to allow in
spection of Soviet withdrawal of
offensive weapons from Cuba if
the United Nations confirms dis
mantling of bases from which
counter - revolutionaries are oper
ating against the Castro regime.

to a true and definitive solution of
the crisis.”

ment as Soviet First Deputy Pre- !
mier Mikoyan prepared to return I
to New York from Havana today. I
The Soviet Union has said it al
ready has withdrawn 42 missiles
and has promised to pull out about i
30 jet bombers that can carry i
nuclear bombs. The United States
has lifted the naval blockade it I
imposed in October when the So
viet offensive weapons were dis
covered in Cuba, but Castro has
continued to refuse to admit inter
national inspectors to verify the
Soviet actions.
The Cuban statement said:
“Cuba demands that the United
Nations verify in the territory of1
the United States, Puerto Rico and
other sites where aggression ag
ainst Cuba has been prepared the
dismantling of training camps for
mercenaries, spies, saboteurs and
terrorists, or centers where sub-1
version is prepared and the bases
from which pirate ships sail
against our shores.”
The statement added that unless |
the “United States and its accom
plices of aggression against Cuba!
accept this inspection by the U.N.
on their territories, Cuba will not
accept by any concept inspection”
on its soil. '

A n*v Until Red China
Withdraws From India
LONDON (jft — Julian Sandvs,
grandson of Sir Winston Churchill,
has stirred up a storm bv urging
that one hydrogen bomb a day be
dropped on the Red Chinese until
they withdraw from India.
Sandvs. 25. a prospective Con

He made his suggestion in a polit- i
ical speech at Petersfield last week
before Peking announced its
cease-fire.
Prig. P.R. Antrobus, chairman !
of the Petersfield Conservative As
sociation. said Sunday, “I think
everybody at the meeting gasped
when he made the statement. We
were all astonished because no
hodv has suggested such methods
before.”
“Our trump card is the H-bomb,
which the Chinese have not got. j
And my personal plan is to deliver |
an ultimatum to them that if they
do not withdraw from India we!
will wipe out one city a day until
they do,” Sandys told the Peters
field meeting.
“I th’nk the Russians would he
grateful if the Chinese were taught
a lesson.”
