Kennedy Clamps j
Total Embargo
On Castro’s Cuba
WASHINGTON iff) — President
Kennedy clamped a total embar
go on imports from Cuba and shut
off all exports to the Communist
aligned Caribbean nation except
certain foods and medicines. The
cutoff is effective Feb. 7.
The White House said that the
loss of income to the Castro re
gime will “reduce the capacity”
of the Soviet-tied Havana goverh
ment “to engage in acts of ag
gression, subversion or other ac
tivities” endangering Western
Hemisphere security.
Although a total embargo was
ordered the White House said
that exports of certain foods and
medicines are being excepted “on
humanitarian grounds.”
The action was the first force
ful step taken by the Kennedy
Administration since the return
here Thursday of Secretary of
State Dean Rusk, who attended
in inter-American Foreign Minis
ters meeting in Uruguay on the
Cuban situation. The meeting de
nounced Cuban Communism and
ordered the Castro government
ousted from the Organization of
American States.
Cuba has been selling about
$35 million worth of goods, main
ly tobacco, to the United States
annually. The tobacco has been j
used by cigar makers in Tampa, [
Fla., where the industry employs
about 6,000 or 7,000 people. Press
secretary Pierre Salinger declared
that “the Secretary of Labor will
make available all types of help
to the 6,000 or 7,000 people in
volved in manufacturing cigars
made from Cuban leaf.”
Rusk said Prime Minister
Castro has been using the dollars
to finance Communist activities
in other Latin-American coun
tries.

Atty. Gen. Kennedy
Makes Big Hit On
First Day In Tokyo
TOKYO UP) — U. S. Attorney
General Robert F. Kennedy put
in his first full day of his good
will visit to Japan as if he were
campaigning for mayor of Tokyo.
He made a big hit.
The President’s energetic 36
year-old brother swept back and
forth across the city with motor
cycle escort for more than 12
hours of everything but baby
kissing.
Kennedy conferred like a cabi
net minister, shook hands like a
politician, and waved at girls like
a youth.
Office girls at the Justice Min
istry jumped up and down and
squealed when he walked in.
White-haired Dr. Seiichiro Ono,
law professor emeritus and spe
cial adviser to the ministry sum
med up the oldsters’ reaction:
“Mr. Kennedy is a very young,
very able man.”
Kennedy demonstrated versa
tility in judging his audiences’
mood and keying his New Fron
tier pitch to best get across what
he called the spirit instituted in
Washington by the President.
Touring Japan’s supreme court,
the attorney general listened to
his guide intently, hands clasped
behind his back and head slightly
bowed.
"My, tms is ceriaimy somexmng
you can be pfoud of,” he said.
Before a group of lawyers, he
slammed his fist into his open
palm he as declared the Kennedy
administration “is going to move
ahead” with its desegregation
policies. '
There was a flash of anger, too.
When a Japanese lawyer asked if
all the nice things he was saying
about Japan were just flattery,
Kennedy replied:
“It’s a helluva long way to
come to flatter anybody.”
The lawyers, jumped to their
feet and shouted “Banzai” (long
live) three times when he left
the room.
Waving off the U.S. Embassy’s
limousine, Kennedy strode down
the street from the Justice Min
istry toward his next stop, the
Japan Broadcasting Carp. Japa
nese officials don’t do that sort
of thing and it took Kennedy’s
police escort a moment to catch
on. But when they recovered, the
policemen ran ahead, blowing
their whistles and halting traffic.

i Molotov Reported in
Hospital . . . Has the Flu
MOSCOW V?) — V. M. Molotov,
the former Stalinist Foreign'Min
ister who has been reported suf
fering from a heart attack or
pneumonia, is getting over the flu,
a hospital source said Saturday.
Newsmen traced the displaced
old Bolshevik to Central Hospital
in suburban Moscow Friday night
and were told by the doctor that
he has the flu.
A further unofficial report from
the hospital said Molotov is re
covering and will be released in
a few days.
There were rumors afloat in
Moscow that Molotov will return
to his post on the International
Atomic Energy Commission in
Vienna when he recovers, but
there still is no official news on
his future status.
Until Friday night Molotov’s
exact whereabouts had been a |
mystery since Jan. 9 when the I
Foreign Office announced he was I
returning to his minor diplomatic j
post in Vienna. Molotov never 1
showed up there.
Molotov, 71, returned from his
post as Soviet representative to
the International Atomic Energy
Agency in Vienna in November
after Premier Khrushchev public
ly had denounced him and other
members of the so-called anti
party group at the Soviet Com
munist Party Congress in October.
Western diplomats believed that
Molotov would never hold public
office again and were stunned by
the announcement he was to re
turn. When he failed to appear in
Vienna, Western diplomats specu
lated he was in a new struggle
with Khrushchev, the man who
toppled him from his party post
in 1957.
The Soviet Foreign Office
brushed off Molotov’s case as “of
no political importance” and dis
claimed knowledge of his where
abouts.
j $89,000 Authorized For
Printing and Distribution
Of the Alaska Statutes
JUNEAU (A") — The House j
passed a bill authorizing the print
ing and distribution of the Alaska
Statutes.
The measure also adopted the
statutes as the prima facie law
of the state.
The committee substitute ver
sion of the bill, as written by the
Judiciary Committee, differed
from the original authorizing the
free distribution of the statutes
to the members of the current
legislature. The original bill
would have distributed them only
to members of the next legisla
ture.
Rep. John Hellenthal, (D-An
chorage), chairman of the Judi
ciary Committee, told the House
that many members of the current
legislature had worked on the
code and should receive compli
mentary copies.
A companion measure, HB291,
which appropriated $89,000 for
the printing and distribution of
the statutes was reported out of
the Finance Committee with a
recommendation for its passage.
