Mikoyan, Soviet first deputy premier, met with Castro in Havana Tuesday night for possible his last attempt to get Castro to fall in line. There was no official indica- tion of how the four-day talks were progressing, but the im- pression in Havana was that Mikoyan would leave for Mos- cow soon to be on hand for his wife's funeral Friday.

Nixon in California, a big plum in their 1964 presdiential plans. But the Republicans snatched the governorships of New York, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsyl- vania--also bastions of power for the opposition in 1964. For Presidtnt Kennedy, the congressional outcome was a victory in that it bucked the tradition that the party in power normally loses a sizable block of congressional seats in mid - tern elections when the president is not running. The president appeared also to have a strengthened hand in the Senate with increased Dem- ocratic strength there and the addition of such warm support- ers of his program as_ his brother, Edward (Ted) Ken- nedy, elected in Massachusetts, and former Health Secretary Abraham Ribicoff, elected in But the liberal vs. conserva- in the house, where Kennedy's legislative proposals have encountered toughest going, appay ently was little changed. NO CLEAR TREND The balloting seemingly re- flected no clear trend--except voter readiness to split tickets and cross party lines with aban- don. While Nixon, the unsuccessful Republican presidential nomi- nee. against Kennedy in 1960, was turned down for governor by California voters, they re- elected Republican senator Thomas H. Kuchel. Democratic Governor Ed- mund G, (Pat) Brown defeated Nixon by a comfortable mar- gin. Nixon refused to concede defeat, On the other side of the conti- nent, Republican Governor Nel- son A. Rockefeller of New York' led with a resounding margin of re-election a parade of Re- publicans who wrested gover- nors' offices from the Demo- crats in the politically-potent industrial states: of Pennsyl- vania,. Michigan and Ohio. These four offer a Republican launching pad for the 1964 pres- idential contest, with 119 of the 268 electoral votes needed for victory. With his second-term victory, Rockefeller went to the head of the class of potential Republi- can nominees to oppose Ken- nedy in 1964. But a couple of newcomers also were possible candidates -- governors - tlect George Romney of Michigan and William W. Scranton of Pennsylvania. MIX. BALLOTING In mixed - up balloting that seemed to have turned on per- sonalities rather than issues, Republicans were jolted in Cali- fornia, the middle west, and in New England. They made some border state gains and picked up a few House of Representa- tive seats in the southern states. Democrats and Republicans traded governors' jobs at a fu- rious pace. Republicans engin- eered overturns in Ohio, Penn- sylvania, Michigan, Wyoming, Colorado and Oklahoma, Demo- crats retaliated by taking Re- publican governorships in New Hampshire, Vermont, Massa- chusetts, New Mexico, Iowa and Hawaii. A Democratic sweep in New England seemed geared to the landslide by which Ted Ken- nedy won the Senate seat older brother John F. Kennedy gave up to become president. It left the Republicans in control of the governor's office only in Maine. And that contest was so close a recount might be or- dered. There was ample evidence on personalities rather than on issues. For example, they elected a Republican governor and a Deocratic senator in Ohio, Oklahoma and Pennsyl- vania. In Iowa, they chose a Democratic governor and a Re- publican senator. They picked a Republican governor in Michi- gan but elected a Democratic lieutenant-governor and a Dem- ocrat to congress in an at-large seat, BEATS WINDSOR MAN In Michigan, Romney, the former compact car maker, cut into the traditienal Democratic stronghold on industrial Wayne county. Governor John B. Swainson, a native of Windsor, Ont., out of office. In Ohio, state auditor James A. Rhodes plowed under Demo- cratic Governor Michael V. Di- Salle. Robert Taft Jr. brought a famous name back to bigtime politics by winning a congress tor Frank J. Lausche, often a critic of Kennedy's legislative proposals won re-election eas- ily. Multi - millionaire Scranton made himself a man to be reckoned with in the Republican party by winning the governor- ship in a battle with Democrat Richardson Dilworth. But Democratic Senator Joseph S.

In fact, Kennedy's big per- sonal drive to crack a congres- sional coalition of southern Democrats and right-wing Re- . publicans and get more liberal- type legislators into Congress seemed a flop. VOTERS TURN AWAY In some of the states where he intervened with speech-mak- ing and hand-shaking, voters simply turned the other way. And in places where he didn't appear--such as the old Repu- blican strongholds of Vermont and New Hampshire -- voters pulled a surprise and pushed the Republicans out. Unemployment and lack of opportunity may have been on the minds of Vermonters, Re- publicans for more than a cen- tury.In New Hampshire, fam- ily feuding among the Republi- cans may have been instrumen- tal in turning a 40-year tide.

Soviet Missile Shown Today In Red Square MOSCOW (Reuters)--A new Soviet naval missile went on show for the first time today as Russia paraded its rocket might through Moscow's Red Square to mark the 45th anni- versary of the Russian revolu- ion. The '60-foot-long dark green rocket hauled on a tracked ve- hicle manned by a dozen sail- ors highlighted a 45-minute mil- itary parade that rolled through the square in front of the Krem- lin, past Premier Khrushchev and other Russian leatlers as they stood on the reviewing atop the Lenin Mausoleum. Western observers estimated the missile would have a range of about 200 miles if it were propelled by solid. fuel, In all, six types of missiles were shown to the cheering thousands of Moscow residents and foreign guests who have streamed into the capital for the three-day anniversary cele- bration of the 1917 revolution that brought the Communists to power. Among them were silvery, 30- foot-long anti-aircraft rockets, believed here to be among the types supplied to Cuba. DAMASCUS, Syria (AP)--The Middle East moved a_ step closer to an Arab shooting war today as Saudi Arabia accused the United Arab Republic of at- tacks by sea and air and massed troops to battle a threatened invasion. Saudi Arabia nnounced it has broken diplomatic reiations with Cairo in the deepening crisis touched off in September when a revolution backed by U.A.R. President Nasser top- pled the monarchy in Yemen. Saudi Arabia and Jordan, both monarchies, have. been supporting royalist Yemeni two villages near the important Saudi Red Sea port of Quizan Tuesday. Faisal said the bombardment had not been accompanied by troop landings so far, but the revolutionary president of neighboring Yemen announced that he has decided to seize the port and also Najran, a border town 150 miles inland. [he twe towns were captured in 1932 by forces of the late King Ibn Saud in a short war with Yemen. Middle East Closer To Shooting Battle As the situation \ worsened, President Nazam El Kudsi of Syria -called for pan-Arab me- diation by the kings or other heads of state of Morocco, Al- geria, Tunisia, Libya, Sudan, Lebanon and Iraq, none of which are involved in the Ye- meni dispute.
