The aid plan aims to help Laos buy Fear Spreads After Deaths In Havana HAVANA (UPI) Two violent deaths in three days among per-, sons asylumed in the Brazilian Embassy here have caused consternation among officials of both governments. At dawn Wednesday, an embassy watchman found Pedro Fer-. nandez badly beaten and scious behind a clump of rose bushes. Fernandez was rushed to Calixto Garcia Hospital where he died while undergoing treatment for skull injuries.

The official Cuban autopsy he had been struck twice in the head by a heavy object, presumably while asleep, and carried to the embassy garden where he was found. Saturday, Capt. Ramon Padilla, a deserter from Fidel Castro's army was found mortally wounded with a bullet in his chest. He had been in the embassy two years waiting vainly for a safeconduct assurance from the government allowing him to leave the country. An embassy source said it had been reported that Padilla had written two suicide letters, but they could not be found.

The death weapon was not found either. Police said at least two persons had carried the beaten Fernandez to the place where he was found dying. Fernandez, a bus driver made headlines in April, 1962 when he crashed his urban bus through the embassy fence to asylum. His pregnant wife and two children were with him. He had swerved off his regular route to make his break for asylum.

Several other bus passengers took advantage of the unexpected opportunity and also sought asylum in the embassy. Padilla had been Castro's second in command of the Isle of Pines maximum security prison. He and several other top officials helped Capt. Jorge Sotus and two other aides of Maj. Huber Matos escape.

It was believed to be the only escape i in history from the Isle of Pines. Cuban Foreign Relations Minister Raul Roa has summoned Brazilian Ambassador Luis Bastian Pinto for consultations twice since Padilla was found dying. A Cuban official said Roa expressed the Cuban government's concern for the "political implications those deaths might have abroad." It was understood the Foreign Relations Ministry preparing a communique on the matter which would formally associate the government from any connection with the deaths. Nearly 300 persons are asylumed in the embassy. The ZANESVILLE, Dr.

LEGISLATIVE WORK RESUMES Hearings Mapped For Revising Sunday Closing Laws In Ohio COLUMBUS (UPI) controversial Sunday closing laws will be brought out for study Tuesday morning when the House Judiciary Committee starts hearings on two measures to revise the ancient "blue laws."

(UPD)-Four tornadoes, spawned out of a cold front sweeping into Dixie, whiplashed communities in southwest Georgia and northwest Florida Sunday causing several injuries and heavy property damage.

Communications were disrupted at Leesburg and Dawson, two of the southwest Georgia points that apparently were the hardest hit. No details were available from either place. At Ellaville, 15 miles north of Americus on U.S. Highway 19, twister did a hop, skip and jump through the area. A house trailer was overturned, a school house was badly damaged, two motels were struck, an industrial plant was damaged and several houses were hit.

Witnesses said the tornado at Ellaville cracked to the ground like the snap of a big whip and each time did fresh damage. A. G. Peek and his son, Kenneth, both of rural 1 Ellaville, were injured but not seriously when the twister ripped open their new home on one of its direct hits. Peek was trapped beneath a falling roof but was rescued without serious injury.

All state patrol troopers and sheriff's deputies in the area went first to one spot and then the other as radio messages began to spread the need for help. A state patrol car in Leesburg was the only means of communication in early stages of the trouble. The Ella Villa Court at Ellaville, a motel, was hit in the first strike there. Its roof was ripped off. The doors and shingles were torn off the Belware, another motel, across the highway.

The twister then lifted and went a mile south-southeast of town where it struck again, tearing up a barn and a house. Leap-frog-Iliam ging again, it struck six miles north of town and demolished the Peeks' home, a large modern frame dwelling. Tenant houses were torn down. The John Lewis High School was so badly damaged that school on Monday was canceled. In the northwest Florida panhandle, a twister ripped through the community of McLellen, tearing the roof off one house and damaging several others.

There were no injuries. The twisters came with cascading temperatures that sent the thermometer down as much as 20 degrees in two hours in some places. The weather bureau was issuing cold wave warnings for the area visited by the tornadoes. Freezing rain, sleet and snow were forecast for large sections of the Deep South Sunday night. Youth Arrested A 17-year-old Philo boy was arrested Sunday night on a charge of improperly joining the flow of traffic as the result of an auto truck collision on Luck avenue near Dryden road, police reported.

SECTION OHIO, MONDAY, States Monday opened a for Laos, designed to help Phouma maintain a stable supplies needed to heal the gaping economic wounds left by the recent civil war. Secretary of State Dean Rusk promised economic aid to the new Laotian coalition government last July 21, while signing the Geneva agreement which converted Laos into a cold war neutral. U.S. Ambassador Leonard Unger told the Laotian government last November that America would begin the aid program by underwriting $10 million worth of essential imports. This figure does not include $1.5 million already provided to help Laos bring in vital supplies of gasoline and other petroleum products.

Laotian importers will find lists of merchandise importable under the program at their banks. But they'll also find complicated control procedures which U.S. officials and the Laotian government hope will prevent corruption associated with earlier U.S. aid venures. The new procedure, which it is hoped will be fool-proof against profiteering by importers, exporters and government officials, will operate in the following stages: 1.

An imposter who wants to bring in goods must get official approval. 2. The importer then pays the price of the goods to the Laotian National Bank in Laotian currency, at the official rate of 280 Laotian kip to one U.S. dollar. 3.

The importer then is bonded. 4. The Laotian National Bank then pays off the foreign supplier in foreign currency, drawn from the Laotian government's dollar reserve. The reserve currently is estimated at U.S. $16 million.

5. When the merchandise arrives, it will be checked by Laotian and American officials to be sure it corresponds to the invoices. 6. Only when U.S. officials are satisfied that the transaction is proper, will equivalent U.S.

aid dollars be made available to the Laotian bank. 7. The Laotian currency thus generated will be transferred to a counterpart fund for application to the Laotian budget. "We can't afford any more scandals about aid," a senior American aid official said in justifying the paperwork. Ex-Councilman Stricken Ill Wendell B.
