(AP Wirephoto by cable from Paris) Refugee Sues Threat By CIA TORONTO (CP) Eerik Heine, an Estonian refugee who has launched a slander action for $110,000 in Baltimore, Md., said Sunday night he has been threatened by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency to drop the whole matter. ' Mr. Heine, 46, who lives in suburban Rexdale, brought the action against Juri Raus, 39, of Hyattsville, Md., a former Es- tonian who says he is a CIA agent. The action is over statements made by Mr. Raus describing Mr. Heine as an agent of the Soviet secret police. Mr. Heine Surday night quoted from a letter which he said was from his Washington attorney, Ernest Raskauskas. In it the lawyer tells of a meet- ing between himself and E. Barret Prettyman Jr., a Wash- ington lawyer acting for Mr. Raus, The letter reads: "Mr. Prettyman advised me (Mr. Rauskauskas) that it would be definitely contrary to your best interests for you to pursue this matter any further could result to you if we pro- ceeded further." "I consider that a threat," Mr. Heine said. He said his wife was approached by CIA men last Friday while he was away but refused to talk to them. His lawyer, he added, also had been advised by Mr. Pretty- man to drop the case but he refused to do so. And, he said, the CIA tried to buy him off last December in an offer made by Mr. Pretty- man, Money was to be paid to him in a disguised form to avoid any link with Mr. Raus. The suit was to be promptly dismissed without any state- ment as to which of the litigants was right in his claim. Pre-trial hearings in Balti- more have produced testimony from Mr. Raus that he gave information about Mr. Heine in his capacity as a CIA agent in the U.S. The CIA says the information on Mr, Heine is privileged and won't be disclosed. For the By JOSEPH MacSWEEN LONDON (CP)--The appear- ance of Britain's only Commu- nist newspaper under a new name today aroused, even in advance, a flurry of interest in "the millionaire press' elsewhere. Why did Tne Daily Worker, after 36 years, become The Morning Star? "Well, there's no Daily Capi- talist, after all, and no Daily Employer," said Editor George Matthews. "Most newspaper names are neutral." The Morning Star, with six pages compared with the mod- est four on which The Daily Worker had to live, is 'a name not a restrictive name." The Sunday Times magazine carried a lengthy article on Matthews, 49, his staff and the newspaper, The Sunday '.\¥%- graph, staunch Tory London weekly, also devoted consider- able space to the Communist daily. No less a personage than act- ress Dame Sybil Thorndike, 84, who says she has been a Social- ist--but never a Communist-- since the age of 23, pressed"tne button that started The Morn- ing Star off the presses. The Morning Star, with a brighter lay,ut than the staid Daily Worker, carries this boast in an opening editorial: "This is a unique daily news- paper. It is the only one in Brit- ain independent of the handful of press lords who control the rest of the press." Matthews predicted, "Many will have their eves on The Morning Star. Television, radio and in the newspaper tradition, but and the press have shown great interest in our plans. "Our friends on the left hope that we shall help them still more effectively. Big business and the right fear that we shall attack them still more vigor- ously. "We miail Go Gur best not to disappoint any of them." Matthews aims for a circula- tion increase of 8,000 above TXH Daily Worker's 60,000, figures that seem puny when com- pared, for instance, with The Daily Mirror's circulation of 5,000,000. But The Daily Mirror is the world's largest English- language newspaper. Perhaps a more important aim is to increase Communist party membership, down to 33,- 275 from 33,734 in 1965. In the recent general election all 57 Communist candidates lost their deposits when Prime Min- ister Wilson's Labor govern- ment rode back to power. Each party member pays dues of 8d (about 10 cents) a week and also is asked to sup- port the newspaper's fighting fund, £3,750 ($11,250) monthly in the case of The Daily Worker, £4,000 ($12,000) for The Morning Star. The paper sells on newsstands for 4d. Matthews and his colleagues have been at pains to stress that the change of name does not mean a change in policy: "Editorially, The Daily Worker, while providing a plat- form for all left views, has al- ways expressed the policy of the Communist party. It does so today and will continue to do so." London newspapers are fre- By CYNTHIA LOWRY NEW YORK (AP)--Thomas W. Moore, president of the ABC television network, suggested in a weekend speech that audience infatuation with what he calls "the linear program" is sim- mering down. A "linear program," says Moore, involves that good old TV staple, the continuing char- acter who each week gets into a new dramatic or adventurous situation. Moore was not taking shots same reason the agency claims|at continuing characters like Mr. Raus can't be sued. ABC's long-unning Fugitive or The Baltimore court is ex-|Batman and Robin.

It even had one of those silent, deadly struggles on the platform of a fast-moving train so essential to British spy stories. And the result was one enor- mous trench-coat cliche that brought yawns and a silight sense of embarrassment on the part of the viewer.

The Daily Worker Now Morning Star quently described as Tory- slanted but the gap may not be as great as it appears, The Spectator Magazine estimated a few weeks before the March 31 election that three Wilson supporting papers added up to The six-page Star had an ini- tial printing of 120,000. It sports a big red star in the upper right corner. The Printers' Union gave Dame Sybil an honorary mem- bership card so that she could operate the rotary press on which the newspaper is being produced. She was a sponsor of The Daily Worker when it was launched in 1936. Canadian Plan Vetoed By WILLIAM N. OATIS UNITED NATIONS (AP) -- Despite a crisis over the financ- ing of the United Nations peace operations in Cyprus, diplomats have been unable to agree on a Canadian plan that would put it on a regular basis. That is the report from dele- gates who take part in periodic private meetings on the subject at U.S, delegation headquarters. These meetings are among the 20 or so countries that make substantial voluntary contribu- tions to pay the extraordinary costs of those providing troops and police to the UN peacekeep- ing force in Cyprus. Canada, the delegates say, has suggested that these coun- tries agree to make up all those extraordinary costs among themselves according to a set scale of shares. The Canadian formula would have them all contribute in rough proportion to the percen- tage scale of assessments for the regular UN budget that would have those directly inter- ested in the Cyprus question pay proportionately more than the others, It hits the United States and Britain hardest. One non - Canadian delegate favorable to the Canadian plan said the United States not yet done so. U.S. sources confirmed that the United States had not yet put forward a plan of its own. The extraordinary costs are estimated at about $5,700,000 for the present three-month term of the peace force, which ends June 26 had promised weeks ago to come up with a counter-proposa! but had ke U.S. Must Not Lose The Peace, Humphrey Says NE W YORK (AP) -- Vice- President Hubert Humphrey said today peace in Asia de- pends on victory against "'pov- erty, disease and despair" as well as against "the classic power tactics of communism" in Viet Nam. __ "We must not lose the peace In either struggle," the vice- president said in a speech pre- pared for the annual meeting of The Associated Press. Cautioning that "it won't be easy, it will be frustrating and at times heartbreaking," Hum- phrey said. "We must stay and see it through. And the free nations of the world need to know that we have the vision and the en- durance to do so. "Those who threaten their neighbors in Asia should know it too. They should know that we will resist their aggres- sion." DON'T HATE Humphrey, who returned two months ago from a nine-nation Asian tour, added "they should also know that we bear no consumptive hate against their people, that we have no design on their sovereignty." "We only look toward the day when all nations may choose to live in harmony with their neighbors--when they may turn together their energies to build- ing a better life for their peo- ples. For this is after all our second great task before us: The desperate need to narrow the widening gap between the rich and poor nations of the world." The vice-president said: "Today there are families spending their last day on earth because they haven't the strength or health to keep go- jing. "But those who remain--and you can be sure of this--those who remain will take to the Streets . . . they will turn to any master... they will tear the fabric of peace to shreds, unless they have some reason be See deli A ii pe be in Ni geria's Lack Of Food Worries Military Heads By KENNETH WHITING LAGOS (AP) -- Worsening food shoitages in wide areas of southern Nigeria are worrying the country's military regime, which came into power three months ago. , Rising food prices and scarci- ties come at a time when the national-eupheria.-which -fol- lowed the January revolution is easing off. There also is politi- cal grumbling. "The honeymoon is almost over and those nagging prob- lems, which never really went away, are becoming more and more obvious," said on diplo- mat. The military governor, Maj.- Gen. J. T. Aguiyi - Ironsi, banned exports of eight basic goods last week and announced steps were "being taken to bring rising food prices to nor- mal and ensure that adequate supplies are available.' Food price controls are un- likely to be imposed, appar- ently because they might prove unworkable, to believe there is hope for life and hope for justice." Humphrey said leadership in the world requires "far more than a large stock of gunboats and a hard fist at the confer- ence table" or the ability to go it alone, "'although we must not be afraid to do so when neces- "Tt is a military axiom that you never give an order unless you are certain it will be obeyed," said one young offi- cer, "That is why controlled prices would not be effective and that is why they probably won't be established." The shortages and inflated prices resulted from the politi- cal chaos late last year during harvest time, which drove many farmers from their plots. This is planting time in Ni- geria and the new harvest be- gins in late October. By banning exports and cracking down on speculators, the regime expects to be able to ease the shortages. Shipments of cyams, beans and manioc sent from Nigeria to Britain are marketed in spe- cialty food shops for Negroes and West Indians as 'tropical foodstuffs." NO FAMINE DANGER But Nigeria is in no danger of famine. West Africa's coastal belt is fertile tropical rain for- est with extensive agriculture. Forty-seven officials, includ- ing at least three ex-cabinet ministers, one being held on corruption charges or are un- der house arrest pending inves- tigations. On the cosntry's financial front, the military governor says Nigeria has saved about £750,000 ($2,250,000) by elimi- nating "political expenditure." Sary."" This included the salaries and expenses for ministers in the federal and four regional gov- ernments and the cost of oper- ating these five parliaments. Nigeria's tariff schedule has been overhauied to increase duties on foreign cars and such other items. Lower tariffs were arranged for matches, fiour, cement, tex tiles, and shows, Import duties were a major source of corruption under the old government. THIS 15 THE LAST WEEK!

Viet Nam War Coverage 2g 2 Cost Has Been Heavy: AP NEW YORK (AP)--The As- sociated Press board of direc- This summer tors said in its annual report to- day the cost of covering the Viet Nam war has been heavy, both in casualties and finan- cially. "During the year two Asso- ciated Press men were killed," the board said. 'Four others have been wounded in Viet Nam. Due to escalation of the war, it was necessary to more than double the size of the staff there." The AP annual meeting, in addition to hearing the report, voted to fill seven vacancies on the 18 - member board of di- rectors and acted on the appli- cations of 29 associate news- paper members 'to become reg- ular members of The AP, whose news report reaches 900,000,000 people around the world. The directors said the pro- gress of AP operations gen- erally has been reflected by the greatest gains in newspaper membership in 1965, and 19 World War. Twenty - eight daily newspapers in the United States came into Associated Press Membership in 965, and 9 more have applied for member- ship so far in 1966. There cur- rently are 1,226 daily news- paper members in the United States. Broadcast membership, the board said, now is at 2,828 and there are 4,515 subscribers to The Associated Press service abroad in 03 countries and ter- roritories.
