(?P) —Cuba accused the United States yesterday of economic aggression and in a surprise move called for an immediate meeting of the UN Security Council to consider the charge. Cuban Foreign Minister Raul Roa said the United States pur sues a polio of intervention in Cuba's dome-stic affairs. U.S. acts and threats, he said. "have brought about a situation which seriously affects interna tional peace and heightens the tensions brought about by the col lapse of the summit conference" at Paris in mid-May. Boa's charges were in a sharp• ly worded letter handed to the July president of the 11-nation Council, Ambassador Jose Cor rea of Ecuador. Correa began consulting delegates as to the time of the Council meeting— probably next Monday. U.S. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge was in Massachusetts on vacation but he prepared to rush back to New York. The U.S. dele gation issued a statement in which Lodge said: "The United States has committed no aggression. It has shown great patience and for bearance and wants the world to know the truth." Informed sources said the Unit ed States would not oppose put ting the Cuban complaint on the Security Council agenda. The Cuban move came amid these other developments: 1. President Eisenhower at his vacation headquarters in New port, HI., denounced Latin- American dictators and extrem ists—"both right and left"—as a threat to Western Hemisphere security. 2. Eisenhower announced a new U.S. goodwill aid program but in dicated that if Cuba wants to get in on it the Castro regime will have to mend its ways. 3. Prime Minister Fidel Castro, ill with a pulmonary infection. promised he would be well by July 26, anniversary of his suc cessful revolutionary movement.

The plane was shot down, by Soviet account, on July 1, 'exactly two months after U.S. pilot Francis G. Powers' U 2 spy plane was downed in the Urals, 800 miles to the southeast of the area where the R 847 was lost. The location was given as over Soviet territorial waters east of Svyatoy Nos Cape, a 10- ' mile long projections from the Kola Peninsula into the Barents Sea. The plane had violated the state frontier 14 miles north of the cape, the Soviet Foreign Ministry said, and headed toward Archan gel, a big terminus of the Arctic Sea route 240 miles to the south. It ignored a Soviet fighter plane's orders to land, the Rus sians said. "The new violation of the So viet frontier by an American military aircraft testifies to the fact that the U.S. government continues to follow the same path, dangerous to the cause of peace," the Soviet government charged. President Eisenhower promised Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev at the abortive Paris summit con ference in mid-May that the Unit ed States would send no more in telligence planes over the Soviet Union. Khrushchev dismissed the promise at the time as meaning less on the ground it would apply only through the closing months of Eisenhower's term. Khrushchev has called a news conference for Tuesday. Protests over the R 847 case were filed by the Foreign Min istry to the United States, to Britain and to Norway. U.S. Charge d'Affaires Edward Freers was summoned by Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko and handed a note protesting that So viet air space had been violated. Similar notes were given to Britain and Norway because the plane was temporarily based in England and was expected to land at a Norwegian airfield.

Coal Miners Want- Benefits; Threaten Strike JOHNSTOWN, Pa. i.e) Sev eral hundred unemployed coal miners are threatening to call a sympathy strike of working miners unless trustees of the Unit ed Mine Workers Welfare and Retirement Fund restore their hospital, medical and death bene fits. The fund trustees put into ef fect on July 1 a rule change that cuts off hospital, medical and death benefits to a miner if he has been unemployed for a year or more. The trustees also cut off those benefits to miners who be come self-employed or who be come connected with the owner ship, operation or management of a mine. About 500 miners, most of them unemployed for more than a year. protested the rule changes at a meeting in nearby Sidtnan on Sunday. In a telegram to the fund trus tees. the miners demanded that the benefits be restored to them within three days or they would call employed UMW members out on sympathy strikes. The miners also sent a tele gram to U.S. Sen. John L. Mc- Clellan, chairman of the Senate Labor Rackets Committee. They asked him to call a hearing to determine whether unemployed miners are being denied any rights by the fund trustees. Two representatives of UMW Dist. 2. Michael De Gretto and Arnold Gabelli, defended the rule changes at the meeting. They told the miners that the changes were made because of budgetary prob lems and in the interest of the fund beneficiaries and a sound administration.

Beaver Ave. Call AD 8-0518 State News Roundup Leads Kennedy Lawrence, chairman of the delegation, also drew a favorite son half vote from John Collins, , Houtzdale, an old friend and long-time party colleague. The governor .aid the Pennsyl vania action would put Kennedy "very,very close to a first ballot nomination." Citing Kennedy's April 26 pri mary showing in the common wealth, Lawrence predicted the Massachusetts senator "will not have any trouble in Pennsylva nia." Kennedy drew more than 150,000 write-in votes in the pri mao., though he made no cam paign there. Lawrence also forecast that with what he termed Kennedy's vote pulling power, Democrats would be able to win control of the state Senate for !he first time since the mid-1930'5. Dem ocrats now are in control of the House. The GOP-held Senate seats most vulnerable, he said, are in Allegheny, Cambria and Erie counties. But, he added, "we'll pick up more than three." Re publicans presently hold a 28-22 edge in the Senate. Backing Lawrence in behalf of Kennedy at the caucus was Rep. William Green Jr., Philadelphia city chairman. The Stevenson support was spearheaded by Miss Genevieve Blatt, secretary of internal af fairs. Lawrence said he "asked no commitments - in putting his sup port behind Kennedy.
