FRIDAY. APRIL 28. 1961 World At A Glance Communists Pose Great Challenge To U.S.-Kennedy NEW YORK (IP) President Kennedy said last night no for mally declared war ever posed a greater threat to U.S. security than the rampant threat of com munism around the world. Calling this a deadly challenge, Kennedy urged the nation's news papers to re-examine their obli gations in the light of the global danger and . "to heed the duty of self-restraint" in presenting the news. Kennedy spoke of the two re quirements "of direct concern both to the press and the President" in these critical times. "I refer, first, to the need for far greater public information; and, second, to the need for far greater official secrecy," the President said. He added these requirements seem almost contradictory in tone, but "must be reconciled and ful filled if we are to meet this na tional peril." The chief executive said he is not suggesting "any new forms of censorship or new types of se curity classification." But, he said, he is asking every newspaper to ask, with respect to every story, not alone whether it is news but also. "Is it in the national interest?" 'Fix Prices' Order Denied by Vinson WASHINGTON Arthur F. Vinson, vice president of Gen eral Electric, has denied testi mony that he had ordered illegal meetings to fix prices. "Somebody is crazy or some body is lying," said Sen Philip A. Hart, D-Mich. And Senator Estes Kefauver, D-Tenn., chairman of the Senate Antitrust and lVfonopoly•subcom mittee, said a transcript of the conflicting testimony of Vinson and four other witnesses would be sent to the Justice Depart ment. There, Kefauver said, it would be "examined for the possibility of perjury."

There was no indication the prO-Communist rebels would agree to stop shoot ing. Westerners expressed grave concern because, despite in creased U.S. aid, the govern ment's position and troop morale have worsened in the face of suc cessful rebel attacks launched during attempts •to arrange the cease-fire. "The Communists can break through and take any place they want if they want to make enough of an effort," one source said. Most informants doubted the rebel Pathet Lao command would risk precipitating intervention by neighboring Thailand or U.S. forces with attacks on this admin istrative capital or other major eastern centers. But one source termed the situ ation serious and commented: "I would say we are closer to war now than ever before unless we get a quick cease-fire." Invaders Pledge To Renew Attack CORPUS CHRISTI, Tex. (4') Five badly sunburned survivors of the unsuccessful storming .of Cuba's beaches landed here yes terday vowing to renew the at tack. "We are not going to stop this fight because this was a failure," said Manuel Penabez, a wiry Ha vana lawyer. Penabez, 37, who described himself a chief legal officer 'of the invasion, said that he does not believe more than 25 invaders were killed. He said about 1,000 were cap tured and most of the remainder of what he described as a 1,500- man force fled to the hills. 'Space Telescope' Fired CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.
