suitability of the suggested site and legal ramifications of a suggested leasing arrangement, the agreement explains. In the original offer, the California group proposed to build a convention-exhibition structure if the city would agree to lease these facilities for a definite time period. UNDER THE AGREEMENT'S timetable, the first project to be undertaken would be the block north of Fountain Square. The city already Is preparing an urban renewal plan for this area and officials hope to apply for a Federal grant by late next month. The second project would be the block south of Government Square and the third would be the convention-exhibition hall, suggested for location In the block bounded by Fifth, Sycamore, Fourth and Main Streets.

The Keil group, in the document, agrees to pay $4.6 million for the block north of Fountain Square and $1.4 million for the block south of Government Square.

ONCE THE AGREEMENT is signed, the city must move immediately to assemble the property in the block north of Fountain Square.

If this plan is acceptable to the city, a land disposition contract would be signed and the redeveloper would deposit 5 of the purchase price with the city.

"There probably were some martins," he acknowledged, "but who can distinguish between starlings and martins when shooting scatter shot in the dark?"

AZICRI-LEVY was accredited to the conference as a reporter for the newspaper Avance of Havana, now published In Miami. Launching the longest oration of the conference, khaki-clad Mr. Guevara accused the United States of conniving in an assassination plot against Raul, which he said was Intended as an excuse for U.

S. military action against Cuba. Also he hinted the United States was implicated In some way In the slaying May 30 of Generalissimo Rafael Trujlllo, the Dominican dictator. Harsh Controls KEY WEST, Fit, Aug. 8 ub Cuban Prime Minister Fidel Castro announced tonight harsh new economic controls over the spending habits of millions of Cubans, limiting total bank deposits they are allowed and restricting the amount of cash they can withdraw.

The measure followed by three days a sudden changeover of currency in which Cuban citizens were forced to deposit all their money exceeding $200 In special accounts In the Cuban National Bank. The Cuban economic minister also accused President Kennedy of bad faith in the ill-fated anti-Castro Invasion of Cuba in April, which he called a "pirate attack." He ridiculed the Alllance-for-Progress plan as a scheme to give "latrines" to the poor and said the United States was "pulling the legs" of the delegates. "A LITTLE push," he added, and Latin America would get the $30 billion In aid Castro had suggested two years ago. The figure of $20 billion In U. S.

aid has been mentioned here by American delegates. GUEVARA drew applause In a left-handed way once when he declared "naturally we respect private property" In Cuba. The American delegate, V. S. Secretary of the Treasury Douglas Dillon, seated a few feet away, shook his head In vigorous denial as Mr.

Guevara made his charges.

Then the trouble really began. "She had a severe reaction from these (shots)," Mr. Hoff said. "She apparently was allergic to penicillin." Page then was treated for the reaction. For awhile there was hope.

Mr. Rusk, speaking after the intensive three days of discussion among the big-power Western foreign ministers, did not lay down any matching "NATO plan" for a military buildup in other countries. He confined himself to a presentation of the rather formidable measures which the United States was prepared to take, both In the emergency case of a crisis In a few weeks and In the long-term of the next months, and then urged that other governments meet this same spirit.

THE SECRETARY told NATO that the United Siatej. position is a very firm balance between military preparedness for an ultimate war crisis, and at the same time a willingness to negotiate about everything except the freedom of West Berlin and Western access to it. He did not Indicate any timing or tactics of any move to start negotiations with the Soviet Union. He did not ask. beg or lecture the NATO Council on the question of Improving the alliance's military strength.

He merely described the United States view of the seriousness of the situation, said what the United States was going to do If It came to the ultimate "war crisis." And In effect said to the rest of the Allies, "Now what are you going to do about It?" It was, therefore, an impressive performance which put the rest of NATO on the defensive, and at the same time has strengthened confidence in I'nlted St iles leadership. An agreement committing California Interests to the redevelopment of Cincinnati's deteriorating downtown area was submitted yesterday to city officials. The agreement, forwarded by San Francisco lawyer-businessman Edward D. Keil, is based upon successful completion of an underground transportation terminal by the city- The suggested pact is to be studied by six department heads who will report their conclusion to City Manager C. A.

Harrell upon his return from a vacation. Mr. Harrell is expected to make a recommendation on the plan to City Council early next month. If Council approves the agreement In its present form, the city must move forward with the terminal project. Should the terminal plan be abandoned or be delayed for more than a year, the agreement states, the redeveloper may withdraw from the agreement.

In a letter accompanying the 29-page document, Mr. Keil said his group has received a number of re- quests from national companies to acquire tenancies or occupancies in the redevelopment area outlined in the original proposal. "Most of these concerns are not presently located In Cincinnati." he said. THE ORIGINAL proposal of the Keil group was submitted to the city on May 4. The group offered to invest an estimated $69 million In revitallzation of the core area.

This amount covered land costs and construction of apartment towers, office structures and a convention exhibition hall. The formal agreement, however, defers a specific proposal on convention-exhibition facilities. This delay will permit city officials to determine the obtain the water the boy asked to see some photographs of his sister. Mrs. Vaught called back that they were on the mantel and that she would show them to him.

Before she could return to the living room, however, the boy started clambering up the mantel. The stonework collapsed, partly burying him. His aunt. Miss Donna Vaught. pulled him from the pile of stone and rubble.

THERE IS no intention of sending six American divisions to Europe, but the United States will be In a position to make such a move if it is necessary, Mr. Rusk told the Council.

William Bauman. acting superintendent of the SPCA, relayed to city officials complaints that songbirds were among some 3000 sldewalk-smearers shot from Lytle Park treetops Monday night. "It's a messy situation," Chief Stanley R. Schrotel acknowledged, Indicating that his department would be delighted if someone would come up with the final solution to the bird problem without involving use of police guns and time. There are much more serious matters demanding police attention, the chief feels.

SPECIFICALLY, Bauman said, three anonymous complainants living near the park contended that besides starlings the shotgun crew bagged "cardinals, robins, doves and martins." It's illegal to shoot songbirds, they reminded. Bauman himself took a dim view of the possibility of cardinals, robins and doves being Included, noting these songbirds normally are not city dwellers and that they do not tend to flock with starlings. "There might have been martins, but if any of the other species were involved they were accidental strays."
