These devices will note the first signs of a slowup or backup of traffic, and automatically will hold up traffic at entry ramps by freezing the red light for a fraction of a minute longer than normal. This will keep overloads from entering the expressways and competing for available space.

Pt. 3, 4 WASMNGTOy The state department makes public a study report branding Cuba, under Fidel Castro's reign, a powerful armed camp and a serious threat to western hemispheric security.

From the time Castro came to power on Jan. 1, 1959, the state department charges, his regime has tried deliberately to undermine the established governments in Latin America and destroy the inter-American system. In the process, the report says, Castro has allied himself with the Russian-Chinese Red bloc, and adopted dictatorial policies and techniques to cement his control over the Cuban people.

The action signals a crackdown on false and deceptive simulated props or mockups on Controls to Meter.Flow BY HAL FOUST Relief was promised yester day after three weeks of rush hour traffic jams on Congress and Northwest expressway.

A system of metering the flow into the expressways to prevent overloading was announced by Poves William J. Payes Illinois director of public works. "The congestion has become too acute for us to wait any longer for completion of studies that have been under way for explained. "We have learned enough from these major scientific surveys to know that the fundamental cause of most delays and accidents is overloading. Aim: Avoid Bunching "When the density of traffic exceeds a critical capacity, there is a slowdown, then a backup, and sometimes a crackup.

More cars can travel the road, and at higher speeds, when they can be kept from bunching up. "We plan to install electronic controls above the traffic lights at entrance ramps to the expressways. These controls will function automatically when other electronic devices report that density is becoming so great that the traffic flow is about to congeal. By automatically keeping the red lights in operation for a fraction of a minute longer, the controls can dissipate an impending jam. perimental operations in Boston, New York, and Los Angeles, in Chicago, the United States bureau of public works and the state, county, and city have in progress a surveillance project on Congress expressway and a 2V2 million dollar Chicago area transportation study.

We had hoped these would be completed before we made radical and expensive changes in the expressway control system." Snow, Shopping Factors Roger Nusbaum, deputy chief of the Illinois highway department, which operates the expressways, said that the rush hour slowdowns have been intolerable since the heavy snows of mid-December. The weather factor was aggravated by an increase in traffic from pre-Christmas and post-Christmas shopping. A proposal from William J. Mortimer, Cook county highway department, that common carrier trucks be banned from the expressways in rush hours received little support and much opposition yesterday. The United States bureau of public roads, which paid 90 per cent of the construction cost of these interstate routes, retains juris diction over them.

"It has been the federal pol icy," said a spokesman for the bureau, "that trucks, which help to finance road construction with their fuel tax and other special excises, must be permitted to use them. There have been exceptions. Chicago's outer drive, started as a recreational parkway, is one of them. New York has been permitted to ban trucks on some of its routes by providing parallel and adjacent and comparable facilities for the freighters." Expects U. S.

to Refuse William Norlag, general manager of the Central Motor Freight association, said he believed that the federal government would block Mortimer's proposal. Later, Mortimer announced that he will meet with a spokesman for the Central Motor Freight association at 10:30 a. m. today to discuss a voluntary arrangement to help alleviate rush hour congestion on expressways. Lj'ZJ WARNS CUBA BUILDS RED BRIDGEHEAD Army 2d Biggest in Hemisphere BY ROBERT YOUNG Chicago Tribune Press Service Washington, Jan.

3 The state department reported today that under the Fidel Castro dictatorship Cuba has become a powerful armed camp seriously threatening the security of the western hemisphere with a big army and communist made weapons. "From the time the Castro regime came to power on Jan. 1, 1959, it has deliberately tried tc undermine established' governments in Latin America and destroy the inter-American system," the state department said. Partner of Red Bloc In the process, it has associated itself with the sino-soviet bloc in an active partnership and adopted totalitarian policies and techniques to cement dictatorial control over the Cuban people. This situation confronts the nations of the western hemisphere with a grave and urgent challenge." The state 'department made public a special report entitled The Castro Regime in Cuba which details the close ties of the Cuban government with Russia, Red China and the other countries of the world communist bloc.

The report was submitted in December to the inter-American peace committee of the Organization of American States. Plan Meeting on Threat The summary of Cuba's alliance with communism covers the year from the last meeting of the western hemisphere foreign ministers in August, 1960, thru last August. The state de partment said the United States will submit to the O. A. S.

Map and other reports on page 10 Reveals Orders, They Contend BY ROBERT WIEDRICH (Pictures on page 2 and back page) Rebel policemen of Hickory Hills, 10 of whom resigned early yesterday after the firing of their chief, asserted last night they have a tape recording, made secretly, that supports their charges that village officials ordered them not to enforce the law. The policemen said the tape recording would be turned over Alphonse Petkiewicz today to the state's attorney's office, which has been asked to investigate the charges. They said the tape recording, part of which is garbled and unintelligible, is of statements made last Monday by Hubert F. Lappe, chairman of the village police committee, and Alphonse Petkiewicz, village president.

The policemen have charged that they were ordered last month not to check identification of suspected teen-age drinkers in village taverns, to "lay off" drunken drivers, and to stay away from bars because "these businesses taverns are our bread and butter." Police Identify Voices In one understandable part of the recorded talks by Lappe and Petkiewicz at a meeting of the policemen in the village hall, a voice identified by the rebels as Lappe's is recorded as saying: "Stay away from V. Ml those taverns that's just what I said." In another intelligible part of the tape recording, a voice identified by the rebels as Pet-kiewicz's is heard saying: "If you should happen to be driving past a tavern and see a man stagger out, you don't wait 'til he gets in the car and drives down the road. You take the keys away from him, and if he's a resident of the village you drive him home. You make sure he don't drive that car." Cite Part of Tape As corroboration for their claim that last month they were instructed not to arrest drunken drivers near Hickory Hills taverns because it was bad for the tavern business and that "those businesses are our bread and butter," the rebels cited another part of the tape recording: "We don't want nobody parked around the damned taverns waiting for a man to leave. That's the idea." They said the man who made the statement was Lappe.

Chief O. B. Campbell was suspended after the policemen publicly aired their charges last Saturday. He was fired on the recommendation of Petkiewicz at a hurriedly-called village 1 i7r i i yyy 4 HICKORY rost HILIS 3 'l i i I I TENANT ROUTS FLAT PROWLER His Landlady Found; Unconscious A prowler escaped from a near north side apartment bu'lding early yesterday after a tenant, armed with a club, heard a scream from his landlady's apartment. The landlady, Miss Alma Crawford, 67, of 211 E.

Ontario was found unconscious on the floor of her apartment after the prowler was routed by Edwin Davidson, tenant of a basement apartment. Former School Teacher Police were unable to question Miss Crawford, who was taken to Wesley hospital with a nead injury, iveitner ponce nor doctors couid say whether she was hurt when she fell or whether she was knocked unconscious by the prowler. Miss Crawford and her twin sister, Alice, own the two story building and live in separate apartments. Both formerly were school teachers in Indiana and Nebraska. Davidson told police he was awakened about 3 a.

m. by a scream from Miss Crawford's apartment. He jumped out of bed, grabbed a club, and ran to her door. Hearing nothing, he walked to the end of the corridor. Tell of Attacking Prowler Then Davidson said he saw a man leave Miss Crawford's apartment.

He attacked him with the club. The prowler fought back momentarily, then ran for the door with Davidson close behind, swinging the club. As the man ran out the door, Davidson threw the club after him. Miss Alice Crawford said that so far as could be determined nothing had been stolen from her sister's apartment. The apartment building is in the near north side area that recently was plagued with burglaries, assaults, and strong-arm robberies.

To combat the increase in crime policemen with dogs of the K-9 corps have been assigned to patrol the area. CLEWS SOUGHT IN TUB KILLING Police Fail in Search for Motive BY SEYMOUR KORMAN Chicago Tribune Press Service Pacific Palisades, Jan. 3 Detectives searched today in rugged canyon terrain behind the home of Mrs. Doris June Gail Bowman for a weapon or other clew to the bludgeon murder of the 32 year old beauty. A trail of blood which might have been left by the killer was also under study.

But the investigators admitted that as yet they had no motive or suspects in the mysterious slaying. Mrs. Bowman apparently had led a life of almost story book happiness, and there was no hint of scandal anywhere in the background. The savagely beaten body of the blonde matron, wife of Dr. Frank Potter Bowman, prominent physician, and mother of three, was found yesterday face down in a water filled bathtub in their $100,000 mansion near the Riviera Country club in this exclusive Los Angeles suburb.

She was wearing a black blouse and fashionable blue capri pants. Died of Brain Hemorrhages An autopsy disclosed that Mrs. Bowman died of massive brain hemorrhages caused by a skull fracture and there were also other fractures and indications she had been choked. So fierce was the assault that most of her front teeth were knocked from her mouth and the frag- ments littered the kitchen and the kitchen hallway. Dr.

Kenneth Chapman, deputy i county coroner, said there was no evidence of drowning, indicating that Mrs. Bowman was already dead when the murderer dragged her into the bathroom and dumped her into the tub, leaving the water running. Dr. Chapman said she did not appear to have been sexually molested. Bloody Trail Examined The watch on Mrs.

Bowman's left wrist was stopped at 10:16,1 presumably either from a blow or from submergence in the water in the tub. There was a trail of blood thru three rooms, and bloody Continued on page 2, col. 2 TRIBUNE BID T0IZVESTIA GETS NOTICE AWAIT REPLY "Awaiting Izvestia's reply," an editorial relating to The Tribune's offer to the Russian government paper Izvestia, appears on page 12. LONDON, Jan. 3 Reuters The Times tonight in its early edition of tomorrow's newspaper carried a two-paragraph item on the Chicago Tribune's offer to exchange a column a day with the Russian government newspaper Izvestia.

Attracts Keen Attention Chicago Tribune Press Service VIENNA, Jan. 3 Here, near the iron curtain division between the free and communist worlds, the Chicago Tribune's offer to swap editorial columns with Izvestia is attracting keen attention. In the first editorial comment available the Vienna daily Tag eszeitung surmised: "At first glance this offer seems like a good idea but upon reflection one can see no chance of success. Premier Nikita Khrushchev cannot afford to let the Chicago Tribune break thru his system of information control."

Nelson A. Rockefeller of New York calls for new spending for the aged, for schools, and for the infirm. In his message to the state legislature, he asks for an increase in the state's minimum wage from $1 to $1.25 an hour and a boost from $50 to $55 a week in workman's compensation benefits. Fiscal experts say the new outlay will increase the state budget $200,000,000 to a record $2,600,000,000.
