move “not economic reprisal” but
rather a reluctantly undertaken ac
tion to defend American business
men “against the discriminatory,
aggressive and injurious economic
policies of the Castro regime.”
The State Department charged
that the Havana government has
deliberately failed to pay |150 mil
lion owed to U.S. business and
has put a squeeze on U.S. goods,
cutting the once-large U.S. trade
by more than half.
Cancels Commitments
The official embargo will make
it easier for Americans not to go
through with long-term commit
ments to ship goods to Cuba.
American shipments to Cuba,
which have been running at the
rate of $300 million a year, are
expected to be cut by about two-
thirds by the move. The United
States is Cuba’s biggest supplier
and in the past has provided about
75 per cent of that country’s im
ports.
The economic impact of the em
bargo, measured in dollars, will
go well beyond that of last sum

However, the Castro government
will not be hit as hard as it might
have been.
Dispatches from Havana said
the Cuban rulers, who have been
anticipating what happened Wed
nesday, have been rushing in ship
loads of U.S. automobile parts such
as spark plugs, fuel pumps and
carburetors, plus oil refinery re
placements and sugar mill sup
plies.
The export ban was ordered by
the Commerce Department under
a law originally intended to re
strict trade with the Communist
countries.
Prohibit Ship Charter
In a companion action, the Mari
time Administration said it will
prohibit the transfer or charter of
U.S. ships to Cuban interests ex
cept in unusual cases.
The twin restrictions were an
nounced just as the Cuban ques
tion was emerging as an important
issue in the presidential election
campaign.

Soviets Threaten To Walk
Out On Disarmament Talks

(By The Associated Press)
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.—The
Soviet Union threatened Wednes
day to walk out on U.N. disarma
ment debate. The United States
replied that it refused to be intimi
dated by such threats, and chal-j
lenged the U.S.S.R. to join in a
workable disarmament program.
Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister
Valerian A. Zorin told the U.N.
political Committee that if the
United States and its allies insist
upon pressing their disarmament
proposals, the committee’s work
will become impossible.
Won’t Participate
“The Soviet Union will not par
ticipate in such a waste of time,”
he added. 1 “Let no one have any
doubt on this account, let all illu
sions be dispelled if somebody
holds them.”
Chief U.S. Delegate James J.
Wadsworth gave this reply: “We
will not; walk out of this commit
tee in any circumstances, and we
will not be intimidated by a So
viet threat to do so.”
He expressed hope that tactics

STATE LA W VIOLATED
King, Followers
Spurn Bail, Jailed
h

(By The Associated Press)
ATLANTA, Ga. — Integration
leader the Rev. Martin Luther
King and 13 of his followers
spurned bail and went to jail Wed
nesday on charges of violating a
state act aimed at preventing ra
cial demonstrations.
They were part of a well-planned
mass invasion of downtown At
lanta by at least 75 Negroes who
picketed and sat in at lunch coun
ters in major variety and depart
ment stores. Police arrested 52 of
them for refusing to leave the eat
ing areas when requested to do so
by store authorities.
One white person was among
those arrested.
Pleaded Innocent
King and 13 others were taken
before Municipal Judge James E.
Webb for arraignment. They
pleaded innocent and were bound
over to Fulton Criminal Court un
der $500 bond each. The crime for
which they are charged is a mis
demeanor.
King, asked whether he wished
to make a statement, told the
judge he would go to jail “1, 5 or
10 years” if necessary to uphold
his principles.
Asked Service
.The Baptist minister, who, led
the successful boycott against bus
segregation in Montgomery, Ala.,
was arrested when he and three
others refused to leave Rich’s de
partment store. They said they
T * WT f
were trying to get service at the
tea room.
A state law passed this year
makes it a crime to refuse to leave
an establishment when asked to do
so by the owner or his representa
tive.
After the demonstration began
an organization calling itself the
Student Nonviolent Coordinating
Committee issued a statement say
ing the action was taken by the
Atlanta Committee on Appeal for
Human Rights.
Part of Campaign
The statement said the picket
ing was part of a stepped-up cam
paign endorsed by student leaders
who attended a southwide confer
ence in Atlanta last weekend.
Four of the major chains—Wool-
worth, Grant, Kress and McCrory
—announced Tuesday they had in
tegrated lunch counters in 112 ci
ties in the South and Border states.
Georgia was not included.
