Caution Urged in Publishing Os Military Information By GARNETT D. HORNER j Star Staff Writer The White House has asked newsmen to “excercise caution and discretion” in the publica tion of such information as movements of American armed forces during the current crisis over the Soviet military buildup in Cuba. A memorandum listing 12 types of information considered vital to the national security was addressed to newspaper editors and radio and television news directors by the White House late yesterday. “During the current tense international situation,” the memorandum said, “the White House feels that the publication of such information is contrary to the public interest. We ask public information media of all types to exercise caution and discretion in the publication of such information.” Self-Censorship Explaining the new policy, officials said that it is not binding on editors, who can either take the advice or reject as they see fit. They also emphasized that this is not a censorship plan— not even voluntary censorship, as was in effect during World War II. The White House policy appeared to amount to a plea to newspapers and radio and television stations to exercise self-censorship to prevent public disclosure of information that might endanger the national security. White House officials, who discussed the policy in advance of its announcement with American press service and network news executives, said discussions along the same line would be held promptly with correspondents from friendly countries. No effort to try to persuade Russian correspondents was planned, but it was pointed out that it would be harder for them to get vital security information if they could not read it in American papers. The text of the White House memorandum follows: "The following information is considered vital to our national security and therefore will not be released by the Department of Defense. Despite this fact, it is possible that such information may come into the possession of news media. During the current tense international situation, the White House feels that the publication of such information is contrary to the public interest. We ask public Information media of all types to exercise caution and discretion in the publication of such information. Points Covered "1. Any discussion of plans for employment of strategic or tactical forces of the United States, including types of equipment and new or planned location of command or control centers or detection systems. "2. Estimates of United States capacity of destroying targets, including numbers of weapons required, size and character of forces required, ability of these forces to penetrate defenses, and accuracy or reliability of our forces or weapons systems. "3. Intelligence estimates concerning targets or target systems, such as numbers, types and locations of arming points in the target system, enemy missile and bomber forces, etc. "4. Intelligence estimates of enemy plans or capabilities or information which would reveal the level of success of United States intelligence efforts or operations with respect to Cuba or the Communist block. "5. Details as to numbers or movements of the United States forces, including naval units and vessels, aircraft, missile forces or ground forces, ammunition, equipment, etc. "Announcement may be made of such unit movements after the movement has been completed. "In front of the United States Embassy in London last night. "6. Degree of alert of military forces. "7. Location of aircraft or supporting equipment. Presence of aircraft observable in the public domain may be confirmed. "8. Emergency dispersal times, schedules or logistical support. "9. Official estimates of vulnerable material to various forms of enemy action, including saboteage of United States armed forces and installations. "10. New data concerning operational missile distribution, numbers, operational readiness, estimates of effectiveness." Of strike capability of missile forces. Details of command and control systems, including new or planned command posts and facilities, estimates of ability to survive enemy attack, security measures, etc., including sea or airborne command posts. “Details of aircraft or sealift capabilities, including size and nature of forces to be lifted, time limits for such lifts, and supply capabilities, with respect to possible specific areas of operation. Editors having doubts about information and wanting to establish whether or not it is within the purview of this memorandum should contact the news desk, at Oxford 5-3201, Department of Defense, Washington, D. C. Such advice will be on an advisory basis and not considered finally binding on the editor.” Incident Cited Officials said there have been incidents during this week that would have been advised against under this policy. One example cited was a network television interview Tuesday with a person who had been evacuated from the American Naval Base at Guantanamo, in which all the questions were directed to such things as how many ships were in the harbor and how many troops had been moved in. In discussion of the new policy, it was confirmed that two newspapers had withheld advance publication of the President’s plan for a quarantine of offensive arms shipments to Cuba, at White House request, until he announced the program Monday night. The papers involved were not identified. The request to withhold the news was made when reporters tried to confirm their stories at the White House. Stringent efforts to prevent “leaks” of proscribed news by Government officials were promised. Khrushchev Sips U.S., Soviet Toast NEW YORK, Oct. 25 (AP).— Opera star Jerome Hines said last night that Soviet Premier Khrushchev, smiling. and good-humored, drank a toast to Soviet-American “friendship and peace” 20 hours after announcement of the Cuban blockade. Mr. Hines, returning from a one-month concert tour of Russia, said the incident occurred backstage at the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow and that First Deputy Premier Anastas I. Mikoyan was with Mr. Khrushchev. "I had the feeling that they were trying to give an impression of extreme cordiality," said Mr. Hines. Cuba Rations Gas In One City on Coast KEY WEST, Fla., Oct. 25 (AP). Havana Radio said gasoline has been rationed in the Cuban city of Cienfuegos "as a precautionary measure in view of the threat of the Yankee imperialist blockade." Cienfuegos is on Las Villas Province’s southwestern coast near the 1961 Bay of Pisa in the vicinity of the city. The broadcast, monitored in Key West last night, said nothing about gasoline elsewhere in Cuba.

About 500 persons attended a rally in downtown San Fran cisco’s Union Square last night to protetst the Cuba quaran tine and urge negotiations to insure peace. After the orderly hour-long meeting—observed by 12 police men with three police dogs—many in the group marched to the Western Union office and sent telegrams to President Kennedy and Premier Khrushchev reading: "Urge you Immediately to send official delegations, not warships, to Cuba to negotiate all issues directly." Carl May, co-ordinator of the recently formed Veterans for Peace, said "No participant comes into the crisis with clean hands neither Russia, the United States nor Castro." Lane Leads Rally In New York City, about 800 persons last night attended an “anti-blockade” rally at Manhattan Center sponsored by the "New York Council to Abolish the House Un-American Activities Committee.” State Assemblyman Mark Lane, Manhattan Democrat, was the chief speaker. The theme of his address was: “The Cuban quarantine should be in reverse. It is American ships which should be turned back.” New York police ruled Times square out of bounds for group demonstrations during the Cuban crisis. A jeering crowd of about 2,000 disrupted a demonstration by 15 Cuban sympathizers on the Indiana University campus at Bloomington yesterday. Fights broke out in front of the university auditorium, where the pickets started their demonstration, and several fistfights occurred as the crowd heckled the pickets on their march toward downtown Bloomington. The marchers stopped short of their goal, turned back to the campus and took refuge in the university library. The crowd gathered around a flagpole outside, sang “The Star Spangled Banner" and gradually dispersed. White and Negro college students demonstrated yesterday in Atlanta against United States policy on Cuba. And another group of college students jeered at them from across the street. Typical posters carried by the protest demonstrators said: “What About Our Unborn Children?” “Let’s Talk in the U. N.,” and "Negotiations Instead of Quarantine." “Better Dead Than Red” Signs carried by the other group read “Better Dead Than Red” and "Look What Pacifism Did for India.” The protest group included students from Slepman and Morehouse Colleges, Negro institutions, and George State College, predominantly white. The counter-marchers were students from Georgia State. An estimated 500 university of Michigan students clashed over the Cuban blockade yesterday in Arm Arbor. Noisy, jostling backers and opponents of the blockade demonstrated on campus, marched to the Washtenaw County Building downtown and nearly came to blows several times. Backers of the blockade outnumbered the opponents by about 2 to 1. The backers pulled down a United Nations flag from a campus flagpole, and some of them belted their opponents with eggs. Police stepped in Ann Arbor police stepped in several times to prevent fistfights. About half the group marched on the county building, carrying signs that read: “THE EVENING STAR Washington, D. C., Thursday, October 25, 1922 United States Embassy in Copenhagen last night. The riot involved hundreds of Danes, Portugal’s Foreign Minister Alberto Franco Nogueira (center) and Ambassador Pedro Theotonio Perieira. Subs to Get Surface Order “Harmless” explosives and similar signals will be dropped by United States Navy vessels blockading Cuba to warn unidentified submarines to rise to the surface, the Defense Department has disclosed. Four or five of the harmless explosive signals will be dropped whenever an American warship detects an unidentified submarine in the general vicinity of Cuba, according to Assistant Secretary of State Arthur Sylvester. He told reporters at the Pentagon the procedure also calls for the quarantine ships to send out sonar signals in International Code spelling. On hearing the under blasts and receiving the sona signal on the 8 kilocycle frequency, Mr. Sylvester said the submerged submarine should surface on an easterly course. He emphasized that “signals and procedures employed are harmless and are to guarantee the safety of submerged submarines at seas in emergencies.” The procedures were developed by the Navy for use whenever an unidentified submarine is detected so that the submarine surface to identify itself. This procedure has been transmitted to the “Interested countries” by the United States. “Better Dead Than Red:” “Support the Blockade?” “All the Way—JFK.” and “Dismantle All Missile Bases:” “Let the U. N. Patrol the Peace;” “Ban the Bomb.” An estimated 400 youths carrying an effigy of Cuban Dictator Fidel Castro and chanting, “To Hell With Fide 1,” demonstrated near Marquette University in Milwaukee last night. Some of the students were from Marquette, but others stopped by police were identified as from other schools. There were no arrests. States. Mr. Sylvester said. He declared he assumed the Russians were among those receiving the notice. When submarines rise to the surface and turn to the east, a reporter asked. will they be boarded? Mr. Sylvester said, “That will be the next step.” The presumption was that armed United States Navy boarding parties would board intercepted submarines, just as they will surface ships intercepted on a course for Cuba. The boarding parties, it is believed, would then search the submarines for prohibited offensive weapons. If a submarine does not rise in response to the United States Navy signals, “action will be taken to interdict any carrier.” Mr. Sylvester said. Reporters interpreted this to mean that submarines ignoring the signals to rise would be attacked, just as surface vessels would be halted by force if they attempt to defy orders to submit to search. We Want Our Sponsor Ready To Rejoin Army TACOMA, Wash., Oct. 25 (AP).—Larry D. Chidester, the 24-year-old Utah National Guardsman who was almost court-martialed at Fort Lewis last spring because of his objections to the Berlin call-up, is ready to go back in the Army over the Cuban crisis. Mr. Chidester was charged with seeking other signatures in a “we want out” letter written to a Utah Senator last April. President Kennedy dismissed the charges “in the spirit of Easter Week.” This time, Mr. Chidester said yesterday, he would have no qualms about being recalled to active duty “and with no letter writing.” Unlike the Berlin crisis of last year which resulted in Chidester's call as a tank maintenance man, Mr. Kennedy had taken positive action... “to back the Russians down,” he said. Mr. Chidester now works for a Tacoma advertising agency.
