Jail Sentence Said Doubled
MADRID (AP)—The high mili- tary tribunal announced Saturday that it had doubled jail sentences against eight liberal Roman Cath- olics who were courtmartialed Nov. 9 for military rebellion. The high court heard a prose- cution appeal Wednesday of the courtmartial sentences after the commanding general of the Ma- drid military region said the courtmartial was too lenient. The original trial had brought a four-year sentence against Julio Ceron Ayuso, 31-year-old diplo- mat who was attached to the Spanish embassy in Swi
and terms from

The high court sentenced Ceron tome eight years and in- creased the penalties for six of the defendants to four years.
Mid-May Date Is Seen Probable For Summit
LONDON (Reuters)—The mid- die of May emerged Sunday as the most likely date for the East- West summit conference.
Diplomatic sources in West European capitals indicated Sun- day that settling a date for the Paris meeting of British, Ameri- can, Soviet and French govern- ment chiefs will be settled easily and quickly between the West and Russia,
Paris informants suggested May 9 or 10 as the best possble choice following Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev’s friendly re- jection of the date proposed by the West—April 27.
Britain, the United States and France probably will agree quickly on a new date and de- liver their suggestions in Moscow

early this week, an authoritative London source said.
Prime Minister Macmillan, President Eisenhower and Presi- dent Charles de Gaulle agreed at a meeting in Paris a week ago to propose April 27 in Paris as time and place for the first of a series of summit talks with Khrushchev.
Khrushchev’s reply to the pro- posal, delivered Christmas Day, welcomed everything but the date and suggested instead April 21 or May 4. The Soviet premier ap- parently does not want to be away from Moscow on May Day—May 1—Russia’s biggest an- nial holiday.
NEIFHER ACCEPTABLE
The earlier date conflicts with de Gaulle’s tentative plan to be- gin a visit to the United States and Canada April 18 or 19. The later date would not suit Macmil- lan because a week-long meeting | of 14 Commonwealth prime min- isters is due to start ‘London May 3.
A date in mid-May following the Commonwealth conference thus seems likely. Any further de- lay would run the summit date close to summer campaigning for the United ra presidential election.
Fixing final arrangements for the Paris summit after a year of | preparations is not considered a | controversial question in any of ithe Big Four capitals.
The Western powers suggested the summit agenda should cover East - West relations, including non-interference in the internal affairs of another state, and aid to poor countries; German reun- ification, including a settlement in divided Berlin, and disarmament.
Senior government officials of Britain, the United States,. France and West Germany will meet in Washington to settle Western tac- tics for the suinmit.
British newspapers, meantime, worried editorially Sunday over flaws in Western unity, with only four of five .months lett before meeting Russia.
The Sunday ‘tines named French refusal to co-operate with plans to integrate Atlantic pact forces and West German reluc- tance to negotiate a stop-gap set- tlement in Berlin as the chief sources of Western friction.
The Sunday Dispatch said that Macmillan will press his Western allies to set up “working groups”

In a year-end review, he looked back on 1959 as a year in which “a strong rate of growth has been experienced without disloca- tion or strain.”
He based his 1960 forecast on expectations of rising exports to meet expanding world demand and indications of a “consider- able” increase in capital invest- ment in Canada. Under this im- petus, personal incomes, produc- tion and employment would con- tinue to rise,

“While productive resources have become more fully utilized over the past year, there is still a considerable amount of avail- able capacity in most industries. In addition, manpower and plant capacity are growing steadily,

MIAMI (AP)—If you're uncer tain but concerned about the road the new Cuba is taking, come with me inside one of Fidel Cas tro’s secret police jails.
Cuban citizens have lost their liberty, their property, and may lose their lives — because they have been accused of anti-Castre activity or displaying. anti-Castre sympathies.
Cuba isn’t yet a police state but the network of spies- and jails is being organized in a pattern that threatens to smash the hopes and prayers of thousands of Cubans.
