JFK Talks Held Likely Precise Reason For Discussions Not Specified HYANNIS PORT, Mass (AP) meeting between President Kennedy and British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan was termed Friday highly probable for the near future. The precise reason for the parley was not immediately specified. Kennedy got a progress report Cuban matters from his top advisers. He met for more than an hour with the executive committee of the National Security Council and sat down with defense and budget men to go over the big military spending budget for next year, when it may hit- an estimated $48.3 billion.

Andrew T. Hatcher, assistant White House press secretary, said it is highly probable that the President will meet some time soon with Macmillan. Hatcher refused to be pinned down on the date or place or the probable meeting, but it could be either Washington or Bermuda, where they have met before. It would be the sixth meeting between the two since Kennedy took office. AFTER CHRISTMAS London sources said Macmillan will come to the United States some time after Christmas.

Ken nedy's schedule is pretty well filled up into December, and he has announced he will spend Christmas at Palm Beach, Fla. Hatcher said he wouldn't spec ulate on whether the President would go overseas for the meet ing. The North Atlantic Treatv Or ganization is meeting in Paris late next month, and besides Cuba there are some other problems-Berlin, the Indian border warfare, cracks which are showing in the Communist ranks. The President met with Secre tary of State Dean Rusk, Secre tary of Defense Edward S. Mc-Namara, Gen.

Maxwell B. Taylor, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and John McCloy. head of the U.S. Cuban crisis coordinating committee, among others. The conferees flew up from Washington and returned there shortly after the morning sessions, which lasted well into the noon hour.

Rusk said only that there would be no statement as he boarded a helicopter for the short flight to Otis Air Force Base to catch the plane for Washington. McCloy said the meeting was a roundup of the Cuban situa tion," and added, "We're making progress." McNamara said the separate session on the defense budget was preliminary one, but that it is (See JFK, Page 6A) Train Hits Oil Truck; Three Burn To Death TYLER, Tex.

To Ease Its Pressure UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (AP) Communist sources disclosed Friday that Cuba and the Soviet Union have asked the United States to lift its long-time econom ic blockade of Cuba as part of an over-all Cuban settlement. This was said to be one of 14 points proposed by Cuba and the Soviet Union to the United States as formal agreement for ending the Cuban crisis. Soviet First Deputy Foreign Minister Vasily V. Kuznetsov confirmed that such an agreement had been proposed to the United States.

U.S. sources indicated that Washington would reject the proposal on lifting the economic blockade and several other points in the Cuban-Soviet plan. Presi dent Kennedy said Tuesday that the United States will not "aban don the political, economic and other efforts of this hemisphere to halt subversion from Cuba. STUDY PROPOSALS U.N. diplomats reported that Kennedy and the executive committee of the U.S.

National Se curity council studied the Cuban- Soviet proposals at a meeting Friday morning in Hyannis Port, Mass. But the diplomats expressed doubt that the United States would reply to it before next week. "Nothing going to come of it anyhow," said one diplomat. Another explained that the United States was not willing to discuss any clause taken from Cuban Prime Minister Fidel Castro's so-called five demands for a Cuban settlement. The (See CUBA, Page 6A) Rape-Slaying Confession Frees Airman MOUNTAIN HOME, Idaho (AP) Authorities said Friday they will free a young airman held for seven months on a charge of murder because another man blurted out a dramatic confession to the rape slaying of a housewife and her 2-year-old son.

Airman 1. C. Gerald M. Ander son, 24, of San Diego, who is in the county jail, once signed a statement that he had killed the mother but not the son. He repudiated the statement and Fri day told reporters: "It won derful." Last Monday, a day laborer, Thomas Dickie, 21, called visiting newsman Rick Raphael to his cell in Boise, Idaho, where he was being held on a charge of murder ing a 10-year-old girl, and poured out this story: He went to see Nancy Joy Johnson, whom he knew.

"She must have just finished washing her hair because it was damp. She was wearing a housecoat. We sat and talked for a while and then she said something that made me mad. She started out into the kitchen and got a knife. I guess I lost my temper because I grabbed her by the arm and took it away from her.

Then I choked her and knifed her with a hunting knife I had in my back pocket. 'I KILLED HIM' "After I stabbed at her the kid came out and began crying. And I guess I must have lost my head completely because I killed him." The little boy was Danny, age 2. Attorney Frncls Hicks and Sheriff Earl Winter said the story had been substantiated. At a preliminary hearing Ander son said he signed the confession only because he was confused by seven days of questioning by the Air Force investigators.

He said he was told his wife also would be prosecuted if he didn't sign. Anderson said Friday he had been hoping and praying Dickie's story would be confirmed. "I knew I didn't do it." he said. "Somebody had to do it. I was Just hoping that he was telling the truth." Mrs.

(API- Ten federal investigators began probing the scattered wreckage of a United Air Lines plane Friday, only hours after the plane crashed and burned killing all 17 aboard.

George A. Van Epps, chief of safety investigation for the Civil Aeronautics Board, flew here from New Work City to head the team of 10 men sent from the CAB in Washington, D.C. Also investigating the tragedy at the scene were a dozen United Air Lines men. Four crew members and 13 passengers died in the crash of the four-engine Viscount turboprop plane. It was United flight No.

The pilot had acknowledged a routine instruction only three minutes earlier. Three thunderous explosions were heard as the plane fell to earth about 12:30 p.m., just off Maryland Highway 108 between the towns of Ellicott City and Clarksville in Howard County Md. I Among those killed was Spencer Silverthorne, Beaver Falls, N.Y., inrasident nf Emnirft State Chamber of Commerce, who was en route to Atlanta to attend a wedding. The bodies, which had been laid tarpaulins, later were removed from the scene by ambulance, WEATIfER GOOD In Chicago, United's executive (' vice president for George E. Keck, said: "The weather was good.

The aircraft was at 10,000 feet approaching National Airport, Washington, for its scheduled landing after flying nonstop from Newark." Keck said the airline would make no further statements, that all further information on the! cause would come from the Civil; Aeronautics Board. A spokesman for United at the scene, Russell Sears, said nothing had been determined regarding the cause of the crash. A team of a dozen state troopers, their white coats smudged with ashes, searched for and tagged the victims. "It was a horrible thing," said a newsman at the scene. "You wouldn't have believed anybody was there because the bodies were hidden under pieces of smoking wreckage.

"The ground looks like it was plowed up, gray with ashes." Wreckage was strewn over an area 100-150 yards in diameter. Some trees caught fire. Big chunks of smoking metal covered the area. Bits of clothing were scattered through the tree branches. A Roman Catholic priest gave the last rites of the Church.

He said a growers association has already been, organized in county to obtain trees for farmers who want them. He said once apple trees reach an age maturity, with a substantial output of fruit, a marketing co operative would be organized. Purpose of the cooperative, he said, would be to seek markets for the county's output of apples. He said the county would be in position then to compete with ap ple sources such as Virginia and North Carolina, since trees in this area would bear 10 days to two weeks earlier than these oth er regions.

He indicated he be lieves fighting now halted by a Communist cease-fire will erupt again. Nehru's remarks were announced after he held conferences with special U.S. and British military aid missions on ways to bolster India's military strength against Red China's war machine. In a written message to a youth rally, the 73-year-old Indian leader predicted "a long struggle and a difficult one, and we must not imagine that the struggle will be over soon because of various diplomatic moves." Nehru has not announced his position on the Red Chinese o'fer to end the conflict but his message to the rally was the closest he has come to rejecting the offer.

Feeling in India was running high against accepting the Peking terms, for this would mean India would have to give up claim to 12,000 square miles in Ladakh on the northwestern end of the disputed Himalayan borderlands. "We shall win this struggle, as we must," Nehru said, "by dis cipline, hard work and sacrifice." In Parliament earlier, Nehru spoke of home front improve ments which- he said, "ultimately will go to the war effort." NO STALLING Red China indicated it wanted no stalling from the Indians on its offer. A New China News Agency broadcast monitored in Tokyo quoted the deputy premier and foreign minister, Chen Yi, as saying he hoped India would make a quick and positive response. The Chinese on Oct 24 put forth a three-point proposal calling for both nations to pull back 12 miles from what they called the actual control line, a halt to fight ing and a summit conference be tween Nehru and Red Chinese Premier Chou En-lai. Last Wednesday, the Red Chi nese ordered their troops to si! ence their guns.

They said they would pull back their forces 12 miles on Dec. 1. The Indian Defense Ministry rerwrted Indian forces were still operating patrols on the north eastern front wnere ttea uiinese forces had plunged deeply into In dian territory before the cease fire.
