From Britain eastward to the Iron Curtain, from Lapland southward to the normally balmy Mediterranean an unofficial count showed deaths attributed to the weather rose above 400 for the week. Traffic, rail and miscellaneous accidents have killed at least 137 Briton's to top the grim fatality toll. Although the airports were back to normal today, a Royal Automobile Club spokesman said roads in hard-hit southern England “resemble Alpine passes.” One of the worst hit areas on the continent was Spain where 11 persons have died, atx\u* 7,000 were homeless due to floods in the south and crop damages from a cold snap in the eastern section were estimated at $68.5 million. In Norway, where .eight deaths were reported, it was colder in Hell 4north of Trondheim) at 5. above -zero than in Paradise' < near Bergen) at 28.5. Neighhpring Sweden with 10 deaths reported sub-zero temperatures and the recuperation of a Santa Claus in the port of Trelleborg after hospitalization for exposure. - Germany shivered in its coldest winter in years with traffic accidents accounting for at least 66 deaths and 1,500 injuries. Barges froze in canals and rivers. A West Berlin couple kept a swan from an iced-over city lake in their bathtub.

Seeking Ship To Bring Out More Refugees t MIAMI <UPD—The Red Cross was searching today for a ship bigger than the 10,000-ton African Pilot to take more ransom goods to Cuba and possibly bring out another load of refugees. And President Kennedy, after talking with leaders of the ill-fat-ed Cuban invasion, was making plans "to fly to Miami Saturday i and address an expected 80,000 Cuban exiles in Miami's Orange Bowl. The African Pilot left last Saturday with 1,800 tons of medical supplies and foodstuffs and returned Thtjrsday with 922 relatives of the Cuban invasion prisoners. The Red Cross said thousands of relatives still in Cuba are eager to leave and that Premier Fidel Gas tro has made a firm offer to release them. “We are' making preliminary arrangements to get another ship to take freight to Cuba but nothing firm has been worked out yet,” said Red Cross spokesman Rby Johnson. Supplies Await Shipment He said there are 37 carloads of supplies at Fort Lauderdale, Fla., to help pay the remainder of the ransom demanded hy Castro for the release of the 1,113 prisoners who returned here earlier this week. At the same time, fc,m ique Ilaca, of the Cuban Families Committee, said he hoped any ship taking freight into Cuba could bring back relatives of the freed •prisoners. He said Thursday’s group was only “the fifst load” and that 4,000 of the prisoners’- relatives are making preparations for the one-way trip to the United States. The 922 relatives who arrived Thursday as a/’Christmas bonus” to tto ransom deal stepped off the African Pilot with only the clothes on their backs. Forced To Stand They told how Cuban militiamen had forced them to stand in a two-mile-long line for 12 hours on a Havana wharf beside the African Pilot. The militiamen confiscated everything but the clothes they were wearing, one woman said, and subjected them to humiliation. Even children’s toys were snatched away and tossed onto big trucks parked near the boat. One man, lifting up a Swollen, bruised finger, told how the militiamen had worked on him an hour to wrench off a tight-fitting -ring--he had worn eunslaotly.. for 20 - “Either take it off, we’ll cut your finger off, or you don’t go,” he said the guards told him. Only One Prisoner In County's Jail With a “quiet” weekend, sheriff Roger Singleton will begin his actual first term as Adams county sheriff without much “company.'’ At present, Singleton has only one prisoner in the local jail, Tom Fulton of Decatur, who was apprehended Thursday night on a warrant from the circuity couft for failure to appear. - • . If the “quiet" of recent weeks continues to New Year’s Eve, the sheriff will start his first full term with a nearly empty jail. Elected iri November, Singleton will begin his first four-year term as Adams county sheriff. Singleton replaced Merle Affolder, who resigned some months ago, and is presently filling out Affolder’s unexpired term.

Ease Expense Account Rules To Taxpayers Washington (Upd — The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has, eased its expense account rule: so they “won’t hurt anybody why hasn't been trying to get ? way with something.” IRS Commissioner Mortimer Caplin said Thursday night that after Jan. 1, taxpayers would need receipts to prove deductions of more than $25. a day for business trlttel, entertainment and gifts. When the service first announced itso controversial proposals last November, it set a $lO limit on the amount of expense account living that could be claimed daily without receipts. This raised a great protest from businessmen. The limit was raised, Caplin said, “after listening to cofh,faents at public hearings and when our own agents agreed that up to $25 was more appropriate.” Under the new requirements “a person would almost be inviting .fraud- .charges*, if he* *naderdelfl!h erate toverswements! It would be quite unwise for anyone-to fabricate such records,” he~said. Individuals would be allowed 30 days and companies up to three months to convert to the new rec-ord-keeping requirements, Caplin said, " As a conservative estimate, Caplin said, “the Treasury will £ave about SIOO million a year.” But he said he. actually expected an even greater tax yield. “This will mean greater profits for companies and therefore more revenues for the government,” the commissioner said. “It will go a long way tpward eliminating .abuses —. .both, jdeliber ale - and .BC-■ cidentally'.'bofri out of confusion of' what was required by the old rul§s.” a.- , V < ' .

(Continued from Page One) or modification of the phraseOiOgy used. The consensus among Western diplomats in Havana was that Castro’s subsequent dispatch of an emissary to Moscow to talk trade with Russia means the Cuban leader .is fully aware of his economic /dependence on the Kremlin. Castro’s emissary was said to have told the Russians they must at least maintain present Soviet aid to Cuba despite any apparent unfavorable balance of trade if Castroism is to survive.
