LETTER TO
THE EDITOR

To the Editor of the Arizona Sun
For long time I have been
worried by an observation l have
made; that is, due to the close
historical, economical, political and
geographical relations between the
United States and Cuba, there is
a constant flow through the year
of white tourists from your coun-
try and so, have noticed that the
American colored people do not
partake in these visits.
What are the causes of this fact?
Is there among the American col
ored race any prejudice, misun-
derstanding, lack of knowledge or
information ABOUT Cuba that keeps
them away from this country? AS
a colored Cuban citizen, I would
like to see the same friendly rela-
tions between our people as the
means of a better and profitable
understanding
I will give my utmost efforts to
make that possible in the near fu-
ture, so we may obtain a large
number of American colored Wis
itors. I understand that the first
steps to be taken in order to clear
this situation is to spread-among
the colored population in the United
States fair and complete infor-
nation on what Cuba is, why it
is called the Paradise of America"
and what are the public and pri-
vate relations between the white
and colored people here.
I would very much like to have
your cooperation, Mr.. Editor, by
publishing this letter in your pub
Ecation as information for your
readers, giving them my name and
address so that I may be able to
receive their reactions and find
out why they have not come to

Why pick on Roger Simkins? If
dough was to be made out of the
numbers game, why shouldn't col
ored hackers have operated as we'll
as the white ones?
The numbers game was brought
to Washington years ago from At
lantic City by colored men and
had it's beginning around Seventh
and T streets northwest, where
gambling of one type or another
has flourished for many years.
At the time the number" was
being taken from totals of the
New York Stock exchange, and a
lot of dopes tried to beat the num-
bers by phoning New York for the
Stock Exchange figures before the
numbers books closed.
When white racketeers found out
that the numbers wasn't just a
penny ante game, but large profits
were to be made from it, they be-
gan to muscle in and take over
first the local buys and then an
out-of-town mob which took over
Jimmy LaF Fontaine's gambling en-
rorium across the District of Co.
lumbia line in Maryland.
If the Senate District of Colum-
bia Crime Investigating subcom-
mittee really wants to find out the
ramifications of gambling in Wash
ington, the first person it should
subpoena is Sam Beard, notorious
gambler-not SimkinS.
Bookmaking is far richer source
of revenue from gambling opera
tons than the numbers.
The backbone of bookmaking op-
erations, and a factor in the num-
bers game, has been the wire serv-
ice which furnished gambling in

WATER WILL KEEP
YULE TREE FRESH


YULE TREE FRESH
Your Christmas tree will stay
fresh and green throughout the
holidays if it has access to water
while it's adding cheer to your liv-
ing room.
Harvey F. Tate, horticulturist
for the agricultural Extension
Service at the University of Ari-
zona suggests setting the tree in

and water.
First make fresh cut on an an
gle across the bottom of the tree
trunk to remove the resin seal
caused by the original cut.
Then place the Christmas tree
in bucket and fill in with rocks
and loose sand to give weight to
the base of the tree and hold it
in place. Put the rocks in to hold
and position the tree first. Then
add the sand in the cracks and
crevices between the rocks to sup
ply added weight.
Fill the bucKet to within 1 or
11a inches of the top with the
sand and rocks. Then add water
and allow it to soak in until the
sand is fully saturated
If the tree trunk has plenty of
water, the leaves will stay moist
and pliable and wonts dry out and
fall on the floor. Trees with mois-
ture will lstay fresh and green for
2 or 3 weeks, or throughout the
holiday season.

Work to Start Soon On Alaska's Only Bismuth Mine

Nome has been famed for the past so years for it's gold produc- ton although many of the mining men in the area have known of the vast variety of other minerals which are to be found here.
 In the June issue of the Mining World, a feature article tells of the importance of bismuth which has now become so important that it is under strict conservation con- trol and can be used for certain essential purposes only.
 It states that bismuth at Charley Creek on property owned by O. A. Margarf, I. Kowalski, Wilson and Dave Russell, is of particular in terest. The article points out that the bismuth was first found on this property in 1902 by John Dahl and Louis Erikson but that bAlC llllllC1 al was SO SliCdP IlOlll Asiatic countries that it was not worth mining here.
 According to O. A. Margraf, in the article, once the placer oper- alton is started, "plans call for driving adits and sinking shafts with the lode mining equipment and should produce g tons of shipping concentrates in 30 days"
 This years work should in dicate the value of the property and could result in the first bis muth mine in Alaska, according to the Mining World.
 At present. the group is wait ing for the last five miles of their road to be- opened by the ARC so that they can get their SUD- plies and equipment in and get started. They expect to get under way next week.

Hurley Terms Yalta Agreement Red Appeasement

WASHINGTON, P)-Patrick J. Hurley accused the State Depart ment Thursday of making "a de- liberate attempt to disparage me" in. it's 1949 eWhite Paper" on China.
 Hurley, World War II ambassa- dor to China, was testifying for the second day at the Senate in- quiry into the dismissal of Gen. Macarthur.
 Much of the questioning, as on the first day, turned toward the Yalta agreement.
 Senator Wiley R-WiS) brought out that one of those who attended the Yalta conference was Alger Hiss, State Department official since jailed for perjury. Hiss was convicted of lying when he swore he did not give U. s. secrets to a pre-war Communist spy ring.
 Wiley noted that Hurley, in his testimony Wednesday, had bitter ly denounced the 1945 Yalta ag- reement as an immoral and cow ardly" pact which he said amounted to appeasement of Com muniSm.

Mining Scrap Iron,
 Relics of Nome's Past, [ Salvaged By Ex-NOnites

~ ANOA3AASSS
 Filing higher and higher every day on the waterfront are relics of Nome's colorful past. Dredge buckets, bucket lines, boilers, dredge parts of all sizes and shapes, many of them fifty years old, have been lying on the tundra rusting away.
 They are now being salvaged for scrap iron by an enterprising pair of former Nomeites, Charles Esch and J.D. Davidson, who have made arrangements to ship the junk to the States.
 It is reported that some scarce materials, such as manganese, are to be salvaged from the buckets, as well as other minerals used in this old machinery.
 If these piles of scrap iron could talk they could tell stories of their share in the finding of great wealth. Some of them could tell heart-breaking stories of those who came to make fortune and lost everything, leaving behind the machinery as a monument of their investment.
 One old landmark being demol- ished is one of the first dredges ever built here, known as the Bourbon Creek dredge. It is re- ported to have taken out over a million dollars in gold before the pay dirt ran out. The site of the first power house is in the same area.

Unable to Buy Service Station, Man Shoots Wife, Two Daughters and Self

PUYALuUP, Wash, (R = A service station attendant, disap- pointed over his inability to buy his own establishment, shot his wife and two daughters to death and then committed suicide. Dead in the shooting were Glenn Taft, fl; his wife Mary Ellen, about 40, and their daugh- ters, Glenda Lee 16, and Louise 18.
 Richard McCreadies, chief crim- inal deputy for Pierce County, said Taft shot the other mem- bers of his family with a rifle as they lay sleeping in bed. Then, he said, Taft lay down on the bed beside his wife and shot himself in the head.
 Assistant Chief of Police Jim Rocker said Taft had been wor- ried about his health and had wanted to buy a service station but couldn't finance it. Rocker added Taft's wife apparently had opposed the venture.
 A brother, Lawrence Taft, said:
 s'F'or the last three weeks there had been quite a change in Glenn. He was usually very jolly. Lately though, he had been very moody. I thought it was because he wasn't able to buy the service station"
