Mikoyan and Secretary of State Dulles cautiously probed yester day for a way out of the critical East-West deadlock over Berlin’s future. The two men were reported to have talked over the Berlin prob lem in detail during a 95-minute meeting at the State Department. Both drew tight secrecy cur tains around their talk. However, one informant reported that Ber lin dominated the discussion, which ranged over the German problem as a whole, disarmament and trade prospects.

Campus Cavers Land in Cuban Crisis By 80881 LEVINE A group of 21 students from the University including four coeds, found themselves sus pected revolutionists when they went cave-exploring in Cuba during the Christmas vacation. The students who entered the country in three groups of 12, four and five, discovered no one believed they had come all the way from Pennsylvania just to explore caves, and Patricia Pur dy, one of the cave-exploring co eds, said she thought both the revolutionaries and the govern ment police thought they had come down to join Castro's forces. The largest group of students was allowed to stay in the coun try 30 minutes and then sent back on the same plane they came in. A second group made up of Miss Purdy. Charles Bos tor, Lawrence Mathews and Jack Stellmack were more for tunate. They stayed in Cuba for close to two days during which time they went sightseeing in Havana. Boster said while they were in Havana a revolutionist jokingly asked them to join the revolu tion. “We told him we would,” he said, “but we knew we were leaving the next day. We were getting on the bus to return to the hotel when he offered Pat a job in his nightclub.” Stellmack said they were not threatened bodily, but they were told if they did not get out they Repairs _Car Radios Television Phonographs Radios Television J3i Service Center State College TV 232 S.

He arrived at the height of a! confused situation that pitted Fi-| del Castro’s rebel forces against; a group of young revolutionary! zealots who had occupied the presidential palace. | Castro's men so far were re- j sorting to persuasion. Appar ently they were meeting with success, for the splinter group of revolutionaries left the pal ace on orders from their leaders rather than embarrass Urrutia's struggling young regime. The proclamation of martial law was made by Maj. Camilo Cienfuegos, Castro’s military chief for Havana province. He said it would remain in force un til Urrutia was installed in the presidential palace. Instead of going to the palace immediately, how ever, Urrutia was escorted to the army’s head quarters at Camp Colombia in a Havana suburb. This indicated that martial law and a 9 p.m.-to-5 p.m. cur few would continue at least last night, although Cienfuegos insisted there was no abnormal situation threatening the peace of this weary capital. But with Urrutia’s arrival, hopes were raised for a quick return to normal and the restoration of firm governmental authority. A fresh warning was issued by the embassy to American resi dents to be cautious in their ac tivities and movements until the situation clears up. would be picked up and deported. During their stay in Cuba the students said they found that everyone was on Castro’s side and hated Batista for the atrocities he had committed against the people. Some of the Cubans told the students that Batista’s police shot two students after they tried to storm Batista’s palace. They also complained that Batista sent untrained, poorly equipped troops into combat against other Cubans, A third group of five students including Karl Francis, Phylis Porterfield and Archibald Ev ans stayed in Cuba four days and even got to see the inside of one of the caves. They took a taxi to Vinales Valley about 175 miles from Havana, but since they were forced to leave their equipment behind they only went about 20 feet into the cave. They were stopped by road blocks along the way and police armed with submachine guns searched them for arms. Francis said: “We got to the front of the caves and took pictures of the countryside. We weren’t allowed to take pictures of the soldiers. If we did we would have been shot.” Miss Porterfield said they had WMAJ (it* Sign On • :St . ..

STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA $49 Billion Sketched Out For Defense WASHINGTON W—The Eisen hower administration sketched out a $40,900,000,000 defense bud get yesterday for leaders of the | new Congress. There was mention, too, of a timetable for rocketing a man to the moon. The reaction to the spending plans was less than enthusiastic. Some key Democrats challenged the space and missile financing as too small. Nor did Republican congres sional leaders organize any cheer ing section as they marched out of a 2’/2-hour conference with President Eisenhower. There was no sign that the So viet Union's blasting of a satellite toward orbit around the sun would result in any- immediate monetary shot in the arm for the American space program. Rather, i n d i cations developed that the heavily Democratic Con gress convening Wednesday may write its own ticket in the months ahead on funds for defense and allied operations. Eisenhower’s fi gure is up only 100 millions over the current budget. Sen. Lyndon Johnson (D.-Tex.), the majority leader, said that “It is my judgment that we should be going farther, faster in our military preparations and in our space program. And I do feel deeply concerned and hope that we will aggressively expedite these programs as soon as possi ble, particularly with our planes and missiles.” to leave the valley before dark because they were told the rebels come out of the hills at night and use the eaves. Francis and Miss Porterfield agreed that they thought all the people m the val ley were rebels and they came down from their homes at night. Every where they went people were eagerly awaiting the time Castro would take over, they said. All students from the Univer sity were safely out of Cuba before Batista resigned and the government collapsed, they said. Miss Purdy, Miss Porterfield and Carolyn Allison, another coed on the trip, denied reports that appeared in the newspapers say ing Miss Purdy had been asked to join the revolution and that she wanted to remain and do so.
