WASHINGTON (AP) -- The defence department said today the U.S. Navy had = stopped, boarded and was inspecting the Soviet-chartered freighter Ma- rucla, bound for Cuba. This was the second an- nounced intercept of a Soviet bloc - nation ship headed for Cuba in two days and the first reported boarding of a Commu- nist vessel in the U.S. arms blockade of Cuba. The navy said the intercept of the 7,268-gross-ton ship took place at 7:50 am. EDT 180 miles northeast of Nassau in the Bahama Islands. DESTROYERS INTERCEPT Arthur Sylvester, assistant de- fence secretary for public af- fairs, said the intercept was carried out by boarding parties from the destroyers Joseph P. Kennedy and Pierce. Sylvester, at 10:45 a.m., said the boarding parties were still aboard and that the first mes- sage from the scene read: "Party aboard Marucla at 6:50 a.m. (EST). Co-operation * good. No difficulties expected." Sylvester told a press confer- ence that "'until the boarding the manifest, inspecting cargo and interrogating the personnel we cannot be sure of the compo- sition of the cargo." | The Marucla is a Lebanese- |flag ship, built in 1943 with a length of 441 feet, a beam of 57 feet and 27-foot draft. Syl- vester said she sailed from Riga in Communist Latvia on the Baltic Sea under charter to the Soviet government. The boarding party was com- manded by Lt.-Cmdr. Dwight G. Osborne of East Paterson, N.J, and Lt-Cmdr. Keneth C. Reynolds of Coronado, Calif. Os- borne is executive officer of the Pierce and Reynolds executive officer of the Kenedy. The Pierce»is skippered by Cmdr. James W. Foust of Grensburg, Pa., and the Ken nedy by Nicholas M, Mikhalev- sky of Staten Island, N.Y The first ship to be inter. cepted was the Soviet tanker Bucharest but she was not boarded and was allowed to pro- ceed for Cuba after the Navy had checked her hatch work from afar to determine that she was a legitimate tanker and that her trim in the water in- dicated that she was fully loaded with fuel. party returns after looking at U.K. Generally Sylvester gave this chronnol- ogy of the boarding operation: At 7:24 a.m, EDT the com- manders of the two ships or- dered boarding parties away. Sympathetic With U.S. Move LO) ; As the im Or a ie mark States in the shipment of offensive arms to Cuba. Although leftist and disarma-|fnv™, ment groups have staged pro- test outside the Ameri: here, they seem to'be a amity. Both ordinary and Yi ntormed opinion tends broadly to sup- port ident Kennedy's quar- antine. Such phrases as "'What poy could he do?" or "He had' 0 real choice" are heard or pdt most often, though of course there are several shades of dissenting opinion EXPLAIN VIEW Three factors tend to explain the British point of view as ex- pressed in pubs and clubs: 1, Castro's Cuba, until re- cently shrugged off as a U.S. obsession, now is considered al- most as vital as Berlin in East- West strategy. Britain is begin- ning to realize the cold-war frontier lies in the Caribbean as well as on the East German border and in the Himalayas. 2. Given that Russia really is arming Cuba with offensive missiles--and despite the pictor- ial evidence there still is some doubt here -- Kennedy's block- ade is seen as preferable to either diplomatic thunder or di- rect invasion of Cuba. 3. Britons still remember the burdens of global responsibili- ties--a burden now heavy on U.S. shoulders--enabling them to understand the U.S. position. No matter how critical people are of U.S. actions, hardly any- body defends Khrushchev.

Poltava Slows Trip To Cuba BONN (Reuters)--The West German Institute for Maritime Research reported today the 9,800-ton Soviet freighter Pol- tava had apparently slowed down in its voyage towards Cuba.

The question of whether an invasion will be undertaken by the United States and its Latin allies has not been settled. 3. A summit meeting between President Kennedy and Soviet Premier Khrushchev is highly unlikely under the current tense situation. . 4. The United States is satis- fied with the current state of readiness of the Canada - U.S. North American air defence sys- tem but none of the North At- lantic allies, including Canada, has been asked or has offered to assist in the Caribbean block- ade. The U.S. view is that having Extremely Grave blockade, without first fully con- sulting the aioe.

This was given as one reason why Kennedy did not have time to consult the Allies before de- ciding on the blockade. Some Allies were informed less than an hour before Kennedy made his announcement. The United States is satisfied it has full authority of the Or- ganization of American States to take whatever steps it may find necessary to paralyze and eliminate the missile bases in Cuba. It was stated that whether an invasion may be necessary and when such an invasion might be timed is a matter of specula- moved quickly to initiate the NIKITA KHRUSHCHEV tion, The question of whether So- viet nuclear warheads are in Cuba is still unsettled, But it was stated that if the warheads are not there now, it will be the U.S. aim to make sure they do not get to Cuba. Reds Ban Travel By West Diplomats MOSCOW (Reuters)--The So- viet government has banned travel of Western diplomats out- side Moscow, diplomatic sources said here today, The ban went into effect Tues- day, the day after President Kennedy's speech announcing the partial blockade of Cuba be- cause of the alleged building of Soviet missile beses on the is- land. VATICAN CITY (AP) -- The Vatican ecumenical council worked today on a plan to give national conferences of bishops greater freedom in shaping ec- clesiastical policies and prac- tices. The measure under considera- tion would give geographical branches of the Roman Catho- 'llic Church more rights to mod- ify various worship customs to suit regional needs. The proposal is one of many before the assembly that would widen the Rome-centred circle of church authority.

Hermann Schmidt of the Pontifical Gregorian University, brought out in a press confer- jence Thursday that the issue is whether to permit a greater va- riety in Catholic worship. "The Roman liturgy is so clos- ely regulated by rubrics that there is no plane for freedom," he said. "Is this good for the vital relation which should ex- ist between priests and such a variefy of nations in different circuhistances and needs?" inary talks, the United States continued its blockade of Cuba and kept up its demand for re- moval of Soviet missiles from Cuban soil. Moscow radio announced the Soviet Union's strategic rocket troops have been ordered on a state of increased combat read- iness. Red Star, the defence ministry newspaper, warned: "The unprecedented aggres- sive actions of U.S. ruling cir- cies toward the Cuban Republic and other states could not but provoke retaliatory measures from the Soviet government.

After receiving approval from President Kennedy and Premier Khrushchev, Thant announced he would open negotiations by meeting separately with U.S. Ambassador Adlai Stevenson, Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Valerian Zorin and Cuban Am- bassador Mario Garcia-Inchaus- tegui. Kennedy and Khrushchev took some of the steam out of the Cuban crisis Thursday night with letters of reply to a plea by Thant, although Kennedy stopped short of the secretary- general's request for suspension of the U.S. arms blockade of the Caribbean island, Stevenson and Zorin read the letters from their chiefs to the United Nations Secu: Coun- cil, That 11-member ever, soon saw evidence of just how delicate is the Cuban situ- ation and how easily negotia- tions could blow. to pieces, The temperatute of debate} shot sky- ns 4 Zorin and Stev- enson tangled , the en exchange, trying, unsuccessfully to pry from a in- Russian a-yes or no answer on whether his country has nuclear missiles in Cuba.
