U.S. y Cuba confer on Cuba
United Press International
NEW YORK — Secretary of State
Cyrus Vance said Thursday the
United States’ “total relationship
with the Soviet Union’’ could be af
fected by the outcome of the con
frontation over the deployment of
Soviet troops in Cuba.
“We will assure that our interests
are fully protected,” Vance said in
remarks prepared for a speech to
the Foreign Policy Association just
before a scheduled meeting with
Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei
Gromyko.

diplomatic negotiations with the
Soviet Union, questions raised by
the presence of these forces. We
have significant interest at stake in
our total relationship with the
Soviet Union.”
The second meeting between
Vance and Gromyko followed a
one-hour and 20-minute session on
Monday in which Gromyko, accord
ing to American officials, was un
yielding on the issue of the troops.
Following that meeting,
Gromyko told the United Nations
General Assemblly that the U.S.
charges of combat troops in Cuba
are falsehoods and propaganda and
that “the matter should be closed.”
U.S. officials expressed the hope,
in advance of the second meeting,
that Gromyko’s hardline rhetoric
was just part of the negotiating pro
cess, and that he would prove to be
more flexible in the private negota-
tions with Vance.
“The nations of Latin America are
firmly committed to the proposition
that outside interference in their
internal affairs must be resisted,”
Vance said. “We fully respect and
will support that determination on
their part.”
U.S. officials said no meeting be
tween Gromyko and President Car
ter is scheduled, but one could take
place this weekend, if Gromyko
shows any signs of answering the
U.S. demands for a dismantling of
the brigade, and dispersal of some of
its combat equipment.
The Carter administration has
made it increasingly clear, in private
and public statements, that it is
prepared to take unspecified
“counter-actions” if the Soviets do
not respond to the American de
mands.

CAB to reject airline merger hid
United Press International
WASHINGTON — The Civil Aeronautics Board Thursday indi
cated it would reject an application by Eastern Airlines to take over
National Airlines.
The board said National’s acquisition by Eastern could substan
tially lessen competition in the lucrative New York-Washington-Flori-
da markets.
The board’s action came in the form of instructions to its staff to
prepare an order rejecting the Eastern bid.
The action apparently leaves the way clear for Pan American World
Airways to take over National. Texas International, which also had
been interested in acquiring National, apparently has dropped out of
the running in the past few weeks and has been selling its National
Airlines stock to Pan Am.
Imported subcompacts have high accident rate
WASHINGTON — The Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, Datsun
B210, Ford Mustang II and Toyota Celica are the five worst 1978
model cars in terms of injury claims resulting from accidents, the
insurance industry said Thursday.
All are subcompacts and four of them are imports, the Insurance
Institute for Highway Safety said in releasing the figures from its
Highway Loss Data Institute.
By contrast, the five best cars in terms of injury claims are large
American models: the Oldsmobile Delta 88, Chevrolet Caprice,
Buick LeSabre, Chevrolet Impala and Chevrolet Nova.
Chicago eyes prospect of city worker layoffs
CHICAGO — Mayor Jane M. Byrne says hundreds of city workers
will be laid off Oct. 1 and more probably will follow as the city tries to
trim its budget by $1 million before the end of the year.
The mayor did not specify which departments could expect the
cuts, but said Wednesday that they could be expected “throughout
the city structure in all departments.”
Earlier, she had said the police and fire departments would not be
expected to reduce their forces. She also had discussed limiting man
power by consolidating some functio dements such as streets and
sanitation and public works.
La. alien proUn
yields charges®'

United Press International
FARMERVILLE, La. — Au
thorities who filed slavery charges
against a Union Parish government
official said Thursday more indict
ments could follow their investiga
tion into illegal alien activity in
north Louisiana.
Two counts of slavery peonage —
forced labor for payment of a debt
— were filed against Connie Ray Al
ford, 40, of Truxno, La., a farmer
and the finance chairman of the
Union Parish County Police Jury.
He was arrested Wednesday and re
leased that night on $50,000 bond.
The slavery peonage law has been
used only rarely since the Civil
War.
Alford was indicted on charges of
holding two illegal Mexican aliens
“by the use of chains, shackles, locks
and by the use of other threats and
intimidations” on his poultry and
cattle farm.
He also was accused of conceal
ment of illegal aliens for allegedly
hiding those two and seven other
Mexicans from Immigration and
Naturalization Service officers who
visited the farm.
Alford could be jailed for up to 55
years and fined as much as $18,000
if convicted on all counts.
All nine aliens were in custody at
the Shreveport, La., City Jail as ma
terial witnesses in the case, said As

United Press International
WASHINGTON — President
Carter and Sen. Edward Kennedy
appear to be taking steps to keep
their political skirmishing from get
ting personal.
Carter wrote Kennedy Wednes
day to assure him he had not made
any veiled references to Chap-
paquiddick in New York Tuesday
and that any news stories implying
he did were “not correct.”
White House press secretary Jody
Powell told UPI Carter wrote the
note personally Wednesday morn
ing after reading news accounts of
the remarks, and it was hand-
delivered to the senator.
At a “town meeting” in Queens
Tuesday night. Carter said he never
panicked in a crisis. It was the sec
ond time in a week he has made
such a statement and reporters
speculated he was indirectly criticiz
ing Kennedy’s actions following the
drowning of Mary Jo Kopechne at
Chappaquiddick 10 years ago.
Powell said the president’s letter
also told his potential rival “I won’t
make a habit of this,” apparently
meaning that he would not make
remarks that could be mis
construed.
At the same time, it appeared the
Kennedy camp also was trying to
shy away from direct attacks on Car
ter. Tom Southwick, Kennedy’s
press aide, said he knew of no
charge by Kennedy questioning
Carter’s leadership.
Southwick acknowledged “he has
said people are looking for leader
ship,” but added that, to his knowl
edge, Kennedy has not made a di
rect charge against Carter.
Kennedy, in a brief appearance
Wednesday night at a reception be
fore a Democratic fund-raising
dinner, said he appreciated the let-
e(
Unit
ETR0
ter, but “I don’t think it needs
sponse.”
“I appreciate his sending it
and were I to be a candidate Til
talking about the issues thatco
the American people as I m suifj
will be, Kennedy said.
Powell said Carter had menl
his own ability to stay calmina
in response to Kennedy’s “(
challenge” to his leadership,
added: “His remarks shouldn
interpreted as an attack on
body else. ” ■Nadeau,
Powell said the issue‘‘wasi ^ Northi
