Cubsccvernment clearly hopes they sJnsl a chancs to
improve rtktiorj with its big northern neighbor. Cuban
news media completely Ignored a visit kst week by New
York Democratic Congressman Jonathan B. Dingham. The
Foreign Ministry has declined comment on President
Carter's statement Wednesday that he 'would be willing
to move toward normal relations with Cuba" if it showea
restraint abroad and respect for human rights at home.
Still, these and other developments appear to be common
knowledge among Cuban citizens-many of whom listen
to the Voice of America and to Florida commercial radio
stations. Foreigners here say their Cuban neighbors freely
discuss Bingham's visit and Carter's comments about
Cuba. A visiting American engaging Cubans in casual
conversation is repeatedly told of their hope for normal
relations "provided we can stick with our principles,"

Defense cuts'- v' . .
.-' Washiigton-Tha Carter administration is planning to
cut actual defiensa spending next year by $500 million, a
senior defense oiTicisl said Saturday. Tha official said
Carter plans future savings in defense spending of between
$2.5 billion and $3 billion, including the $550 million,
spread over the next several years. Actual defense spend
ing might increase during the Carter administration with
savings reflected by slowing the increase rate, officials
said. The drop in defense outlays in the next fiscal year
would reduce former President Gerald Ford's defense
budget from $112.3 billion to $11 1.8 billion. Meanwhile,
a senior defense official said the Pentagon is starting work
on a long-range plan, including reform of military retire
ment, to cut personnel costs which absorb between 55
and 60 per cent of the defense budget
