(AP Wirephoto) W 1th WASHINGTON (AP) -- Presi- dent Kennedy meets with for- mer president Eisenhower to- strong national support for crit- ical steps which he may con- sider necessary to deal with the Cuban crisis. A white House announcement of the session--at Camp David, Md.--emphasized Cuba as the topic for the conference. But it did not rule out the prospect that discussions could cover a broad range of intesifying cold war conflicts with Russia. Before flying to Camp David by helicopter, Kennedy had a l'scheduled meeting with the Na- tional Security Council, presum- ably to discuss possible future moves against the government of Cuba in the wake of this week's abortive anti-Castro inva- sion. The president was reported to have ordered a study of reasons for the defeat of the rebel in- vasion attempt which began last weekend with the United States' moral support--and, it was generally believed here, with some backing of U.S. Invasion Blamed On Radio KEY WEST, Fla.

Castro's return was eagerly awaited here. His last public appearance in Havana was April 16. Friday he was re- ported to have led mopping up operations against rebels.

Rela- tives of detainees were permit- ted to visit jails with food and reported that prison living con- ditions were worsening stead- ily. It was difficult to find anyone here who did not know at least one person under arrest. Simi- larly, it was a hard job to find someone in Havana who did not know at least one man killed or wounded in fighting -- either from loyalist or insurgen forces. No official casualty toll was announced by the government. But unconfirmed reports said "thousands" were killed in the fighting. on Cuban soil that help was on the way and urged them not to surrender. The appeal from Swan Island was made a few hours after the Castro government put before Havana television cameras some prisoners captured after last weekend's invasion. One admitted their mission failed and said not many rebels had escaped. Others said propa- ganda from Swan Island and North America had misled them. Huge Donations From Foundation TORONTO (CP)--The Atkin- son Charitable Foundation, in its first 10 years, has distrib- uted a total of $6,490,599 in grants in the fields of educa- tion, health and social welfare, the annual report showed today. The foundation, established by Joseph E. Atkinson, former publisher of The Toronto Daily Star, has authorized 598 grants ranging in size from $160 to $150,000. UNITED NATIONS (CP) The 15th United Nations Gen eral Assembly, longest and most spectacular in the history of the world body, ended at 6:02 a. m. today after an all- night sitting in which it did an about-face on Congo financing. The assembly first rejected and then accepted--with slight amendment ---a resolution pro- viding for $100,000,000 to cover the costs of the UN Congo force from Jan. 1 until Oct. 31, when a new assembly will be in ses- sion to consider new action. The Canadian delegation scored a major victory, its big- gest of the annual meeting, in the final act when it rescued a resolution calling for a full- scale review of UN finances, the greatest problem facing the world 'body.

(AP Wire- photo via radio from Paris) Come To WOOSTER, Ohio (AP)--Seven Amish families in this area have moved to Canada because farm land is cheaper there and they will escape conflict with laws on schools, social security and the military draft. About 50 persons made the migration early this month to Owen Sound, where they joined an Amish settlement of 19 fam- ilities. Moving their families were Levi L. Shetler Sr., 60, of North- ern Holmes County; his five sons--Levi Jr., Jacob, Samuel, Emery and Ben--and a son-in- law, Moses E. Hershberger. They sold their land and most of their farm equipment and livestock at public auction and loaded the rest of their belong- ings in two railway box cars for shipment to Canada. The families left by train from Millersburg at midnight April 4. EXPLAINS MOVE The Shetler clan refused to discuss the move with report- ers, but Rudy S. Yoder of Na- varre, an Amish member of the same church the families at- tended, explained: "The families are going pri- marily because land is getting scarce and prices for it are Two Killed At Crossing KINGSTON (CP) -- Two men were killed early today when their car was rammed by a Ca- nadian National Railways pas- senger train as they tried to beat it across a barricaded level crossing near here.

The dead: Bernard Alvin La- veque, 25, of nearby Harrow- smith and Howard Douglas Storring, 29, of nearby Syden- m. The car was carried more than half a mile down the track.

FRENCH ARMY TAKES ALGIERS Rebel Soldiers Defy DeGaulle PARIS (Reuters) -- French) paratroopers under the com- mand of four right-wing gener- als seized Algiers early today and defied the French to retake the city. The rebel troops captured the Algerian capital in a lightning overnight operation aimed at overthrowing President de Gaulle's policy of self-determi- nation for the North African ter- ritory. Their leaders, all former sen- for army generals, declared they would '"'smash' all opposi- tion to their bloodless coup. Algiers Radio indicated that the troops were deployed throughout the city ready for action. It ordered all unneces- sary cars off the streets of Al- giers because they were ob- structing military deployment. There was a report that three paratroop regiments were mov- ing toward Algiers from French lice leave was cancelled troops were confined to racks.
