Sunday crowds gathered at Moscow’s planetarium and else- where to hear lectures on space exploration and to ask questions.
Sunday newspapers were filled with comments on the perform- ance, its effect in building Soviet prestige and on predictions of new space ventures.
The predictions contained noth- ing specific as to what will come next in the Soviet scientific pro- gram. Neither were there further details on the rocket itself, its launching site or its power.

HAVANA (AP) — Rebel leader Fidel Castro Sunday night called off the general strike that has paralyzed Cuba since his bearded rebels took over from Gulgencio Batista’s dictatorship.
A broadcast by Havana Radio said Castro urged all workers to go back to their jobs. All stores a business establishments in this island nation, closed down since New Year’s Day, were told fo open their doors. Industries, transport and communications were told sume regular. work schedules“
Castro spoke from Camaguey province in central Cuba, Havana Radio said,
The end of the general strike is expected to be a major move toward bringing the once-flourish- ing commerce and trade in Cuba —sometimes called ‘‘the pearl of the Antilles’—back to normal. Another move was an order from Castro’s men to disarm thousands of volunteers who have been prowling the streets of Ha- vana, guns at the ready.
SECURITY STABILIZED?
An end to the strike also indi- cated that rebel forces felt the security situation.in Havana had stabilized and there was no ser- ious danger from a eounter-re- volt. Things have still not calmed sufficiently, however, to permit regular airline travel in and out of Cuba. A spokesman for Pan American Airways, denying ‘an earlier report, said neither his line nor any other companyetas received permission from the pro- visional government to resume commercial flights.
Conquering hero Fidel Castro kept the city waiting impatiently for his arrival. But with Cuba in

WASHINGTON (AP) — Rus- sia’s Anastas I. Mikoyan arrived Sunday for what he called an American “‘holiday,’’ but quickly arranged to meet with State Sec- retary Dulles at noon Monday be- fore Dulles leaves for Ottawa.
The 63-year-old first. deputy So- viet premier said he is ready and 4 willing to talk about ‘the Berlin crisis or any other East -- West problem during the two weeks he rexpects-to be inthe United States.
Mikoyan, who ranks as No. 2 Kremlin leader; said he also hopes to meet with President
- | Eisenhower.
“We respect him in our coun-
i try,’ Mikoyan said as he stepped | off a Scandinavian airliner in New '| York. “It would be a pleasure to
see him.” 400 SECURITY GUARDS
and government security agents guarded Mikoyan’s every step as he arrived at New York’s Idle- wild Airport early this morning.
A dozen Hungarian refugee- freedom fighters, -waving anti- Communist placards, shouted “Communist dog’? and ‘‘mur- derér’’ as he left by police - es- corted limousine for Washington. The strict security precautions prevented any further demonstra- tions, and Mikoyan ignored the taunts.
State department officiais said Eisenhower would be happy to meet with Mikoyan even though the visitor has not yet requested a White House appointment.
Any Ejisenhower-Mikoyan talk, however, may be delayed unti the Soviet leader returns from a cross-country tour of about 10 days, during which he will visit several other American cities. JOVIAL MOOD

“My first message is to convey

“I wish you peace in the New Year and forever.’’
Mikoyan was accompanied by ambassador Mikhail Menshikov and five aides including his 29- year-old son, Sergo Anastasovich. __
Mikoyan’s expressed readiness to talk over foreign policy prob- lems did little to clear up the air of mystery about his visit. Few administration officials believe he has come only for a vacation as guest of Ambassador Menshikov.
Most authorities strongly sus- pect his trip is a cold war man- oeuvre, perhaps linked to the Ber- lin crisis. Some believe Mikoyan
