A new feature nations Geneva a More anymore developing countries Are assembling their own Auto mobiles to avoid heavy import Bills according to a special study of the Gatt general agreement on tariffs an Trade International Trade re port. The number of motor vehicle manufactured or simply assembled in nonindustrial coun tries almost trebled Between 1957 and 1965 to More than 1.3 million vehicles the study said. In Australia Argentina Brazil and India which together produced about 850,000 vehicles in 1965, the Industry is equipped not Only to assemble vehicles but also to produce almost the whole Range of the component required. As a result there is a High local Content in the finished product. Air traffic is zooming at almost Jet velocity by Harry f. Rosenthal Washington a our skies Are getting More crowded All the time. Each Day More people Beardmore airliners More Are taking flying lessons More planes Are winging from factories. For 1967, passenger traffic noncommercial airliners will total 128 million. Ten years from now the Federal aviation Agency estimated there will be 352 Mil lion More than 2 times the present number. A Senate com Mittee heard testimony that the figure May even by 450 million. The growth in non airline non military flying will be just As spectacular. In 1965, manufacturers of civil aircraft produced 12,646 planes. The figure in 1966 was 16,404 valued at More than $2 billion. A forecast of 104,000 non air line non military planes in 1967 is sure to be exceeded. By 1977,that total is expected to be 180,000 and will include 8,000 tur Bine aircraft compared with 950 this year. Within three years the first jumbos airliners that carry nearly 500 passengers will take to the skies. Despite the increased seating space on the jumbos the forecast is that air liners will increase from this year s 2,337 to 2,875 in 1972 and3,500 in 1977. All this has caused mounting concern for ground facilities to handle them safety facilities to guide them airports to land  Faa has ordered a sweeping revision of air safety rules including easier Access to exits better evacuation procedures and improved marking and lighting of exits aimed a saving More lives in crashes. The new rules Are expected to Cost the airlines and manufacturers almost $2 billion in the next few years but passengers Are expected to pay most of this. Airport development costs Are expected to total $6 billion in the next 10 years. President Johnson has called for a Broad new program to Cope with theorising traffic. He has suggested a plan that would spend a estimated $5 billion for new facilities equipment and additional personnel and said he would ask the airlines Passen Gers and communities to share the Cost. Even without any increase flying is at a crisis Point. There is mounting clamor Tobar private planes from Busy commercial airports where they have the same privileges As the big commercial jets. But airports Are paid for by All citizens and the air is free and some sort of Compromise Mustbe reached.

Mccarthyu i latin american editor Cuba officially disclosed Las week that every third cuban on the Island spies on his neighbors for the government. The disclosure that 2.2-Millionof Cuba s present 6.5-million population Are members of Fidel Castro s so called committees for the defense of the revolution came on the eve of the seventh anniversary of the establishment of the espionage network. It pinpointed Castro sever present fear the masses might some Day turn against him. The fear is emphasized bythe announcement of the spy network spokesman Luis gon Zalez Meru Werlos that Many members of the nationwide net work of neighbourhood informers and spies Are due to be Pur Gedas insufficiently revolutionary in thought and  of the spy network Are identified by their re berets. Their efficiency has never been questioned. More Auto Bills the Industry expanded particularly rapidly in Brazil and Argentina where production in creased sixfold Between 1957 and 1965 and imports were substantially reduced. In other countries the Industry is mainly Une of Assembly but most simple parts such a Springs radiators upholstery paints and bus and truck bodies Are produced locally. Than a million cubans were rounded up on the basis of their reports at the time of the abortive Bay of pigs invasion in 1961, to forestall any possible Island wide uprising. All of which would seem to indicate that any catalytic agent sparking Castro s Over throw must come from abroad. However any such likelihood would appear to have been dashed by actions at the recent meeting in Washington of the organization of american states Oas convened to con Sider once again specific charges of aggression and subversion against  21-member nation Oas agreed generally on the Nee to limit Cuba s capacity to Export terrorism but its Only unanimous action on the subject was to refer the whole matter to the United nation general Assembly in new York.
