Red troops to Cuba
WASHINGTON ? The Soviet Union apparently
slipped its first ground combat elements into Cuba
about 10 years ago while U.S. attention was focused on
the Vietnam war, according to administration of
utiaid.
Much of the U.S. intelligence effort had shifted to
Southeast Asia and concern about Cuba had ebbed
when signs of a possible Soviet command structure
were first detected there in the late 1960s, said the
officials, who asked not to be named.
There was some feeling among intelligence
specialists then that the command structure might be
in Cuba to oversee what was described to Congress as a
"substantial number" of Soviet military advisers,
technicians and instructors, these officials said.
Since there was no significant buildup of Russian
military personnel after that, officials said, intelligence
authorities apparently decided there was no
cause for alarm.
Secretary of State Cyrus R. Vance said Wednesday
the intelligence community has concluded that a Soviet
combat brigade of 2.000 to 3.000 men has been in fhiha
since at least the mid-1970s and that elements may
have been there since the early 1970s or even before
that.

agreement on three issues.
However, no progress was reported on the key
problem of autonomy for the Palestinians living under
Israeli occupation, and Sadat and Begin also were still
split on the emotional issue of Jerusalem's future.
The summit, scheduled for only 49 hours and including
only about three hours of face-to-face talks
between the two leaders, was filled with warmth and
expressions of optimism but short on major results.
Agreement was reached "in principle" on the

between food or heat" this winter because home
heating oil costs will be more than 50 percent higher
than last vear.
Despite the rising costs, Deputy Energy Secretary
John F. O'Leary told a congressional hearing,
homeowners who heat with oil will have more than
enough to get through the winter.

O'Leary testified as a new Library of Congress study
claimed that heating oil consumers have been charged
$1 billion more in higher prices over the past year than
can be justified by inflation in higher crude oil costs.

The trustees and Holderman have been considering
seeking re-affiliation with an athletic conference in
recent weeks. The president rejected an invitation
from the Metro 7 last month because it did not have a
football program.
He said South Carolina was interested in a "full and
comprehensive" athletic program in a conference.
Budget increases
The state Budget and Control Board will receive a
budget request today for South Carolina's public
schools that is $106 million above this year's budget.
The $677.3 million 1380-81 budget was approved
Wednesday by the state Board of Education.

meeting certain legislative mandates, said state
Superintendent of Education Charlie G. Williams.
One of those mandates is the Education Finance Act,
which is in its second year of a five-year phase-in.

Shealy wins dispute
House Clerk Lois Shealy will be allowed to retain her
State House offices after all.
[ Two legislative committees voted Wednesday to
allow Shealy and her staff to remain in the Capitol
instead of moving into larger quarters in the Solomon
Blatt office building.
The House Operations Committee and the State
House Committee decided to allow another state
agency to use the 3,030-square foot suite originally
designed for the clerk's use.
Shealy declined last month to move into the larger
quarters. She said she was concerned about moving
delicate House records.
That decision was opposed by Rep. Sterling Anderson,
D-Spartanburg, chairman of the House
Operations Committee. In a letter to House members,
he said the clerk's reluctance to move was "an embarrassment
to the House of Representatives."
