The only question appeared to be when the strike will come. That may be settled at meetings of 600 shop stewards and IAM local leaders which the union scheduled pcross the nation for 5 p.m. today. If the strike date is set it would mean that 26,000 production workers at Boeing plants in the Seattle-Renton, area and 14.000 more at Wichita, and Minuteman installat'ons at 12 Air Force bases would be poised to leave their jobs. fact it is not even in the top 10 per cent."

The couple said they have given complete details of everything they learned about Castro's military strength to the U. S. Central Intelligence Agency, according to WGBS.

Thoir report challenged official assessments of Castro's arsenall and estimates of Russian troop strength. Castro's power is constantly increasing, the American said, and he is literally exporting his revolution by shipments of arms and tra'ned agents. Foreign troops from the Communist bloc nations and the U.S.S.R. now in Cuba total between 70.000 and 80,000 men, the American said. In addition, Castro has about one-third of the island's popula tion, some two million persons under arms, he added.

Soviet negotiator Semyon K. Tsarapkin made no mention of the new Anglo-American initiative presented last week to Soviet Premier Nikita.

Khrushchev in Moscow, although both the U. S. and British delegates to the 17-nation disarmament conference appealed to the Soviets at today's 126th meeting to accept it. If anything, Tsarapkin was more unyielding than ever. He quoted Khrushchev as saying in an Interview last week that the Soviets might even cut back on their offer of three on-site inspections if the West does not accept the present Russian position.

The Western powers currently say they can accept nothing less than seven inspections a year. U. S. Ambassador Charles C. Stelle told the conference today the United States and Britain are "earnestly await'ng" favorable response from Khrushchev.

The new western offer is understood to revolve around sliding scale of on-site inspections over p. five-year period which would woik out at around five a year.

Redfield, South Dakota's state hospital and school for the mentally retarded, came in for a bit of defending Saturday, both by its superintendent and member of the Board of Charities and Corrections. Mrs. Kathryn A. Ewing, Dead-wood, board secretary, and How-prd Chinn, Redfield superintendent, both spoke in support of the institution Pt the final session of the South Dakota Association for Retarded Children.
