THURSDAY MORNING. NOV. 22. 1962 FIVE CENTS Cuban Eases - WASHINGTON (J 7 Tension in both the United States and the Soviet Union eased yesterday as a result of the agreement on Cuba. The United States began dis mantling some of its massive Cu ban crisis military buildup yes terday and Navy -patrol planes were assigned the task of check ing Soviet bombers out of Cuba. Signaling the end of the most dangerous phase of the U.S.- Soviet confrontation over Cuba, the Department of Defense or dered the release from active duty of 14,000 Air called up at the height of the Ctiban crisis. SIMULTANEOUSLY, it canceled an order that held’in service all Navy and Marine personnel who otherwise would have been dis charged by Feb. 28. About 41,000 officers and men are believed affected. Every effort will be made to return the reserves to their homes as soon as possible, the announce ment said. In related developments the Air Force kept its concentrations of planes in the southeastern United States but' said all planes of the Air: Defense Command are re turning to home stations from the dispersal points they were de ployed to at the height of the crisis. The Navy reported the 03 ships blockading Cuba should be back at home ports or other duty sta tions by the weekend.

FOR A BETTER PENN STATE Agreement Tensions the first disclosure of the si.-e of the blockade fleet, which hud time to time. The U.S. moves came in the wake of President K.enmjdjy's news conference announcement Tuesday that . Soviet Premier Khrushchev had agreed to remove within 30 days some 30 1L23 ijet bombers from Cuba believed to be the last of his fiuclear capable offensive weapons there. Id re turn, the United States ordered) an end to its blockade of Fhrime Min ister Fidel Castro’s Communist ruled island. The agreement brought these other actions too: • The. Navy announced that P2V patrol planes of its Atlantic antisubmarine warfare forces would; photograph the Soviet ships carrying the bombers to verify their removal. No surface vessels have been ordered to help. • The Soviet government 'can-' celled the state of combat readi ness proclaimed for its armed forces because of the Cuban crisis and Warsaw Pact nations followed suit. All Soviet submarines were ordered back to normal stations. • The blockade-bombers agree ment touched off optimism in the Soviet capital that a nuclear test ban agreement and Berlin settle ment could follow. There was no definite feeling of urgency in high diplomatic quar ters on these issues but an atmos phere of easing tension was clear ly evident. One sign of better times-^Ken- $lO,OOO of term life insurance cov erage for $2O per year. Enrollment will begin next month when information .' about the plan and applications are mailed to students.
