Letter To The Editor
Miami Times
Gentlemen:

Miami Times
Gentlemen:
For a long time I have been
worried by an observation I have
made; that is, due to the close
historical, political, economical
and geographical relations be-
tween the u. S. and Cuba, there
is constant flow through the
year of White tourists from your
coHntry and SO, I have noticed
that the American colored people
do not partake in these visits.
What are the causes of this
fact? Is there among the Ameri-
can colred race any prejudice,
misunderstanding, lack of knowl-
edge OF information about Cuba
that keeps them away from this
country? AS a colored Cuban citi-
en- I would like to see the same
friendly relations bewteen our
people as the means of better
and profitable understanding.
I will give my utmost efforts to
make that possible in near fu-
xare. so we may obtain a large
number of American cOlored Wis
itorS. l understand that the first
steps to be taken in order to
clear this situation is to spread
among the colored population in
the u. S. fair and complete in
formation on what Cuba is, why
it is called the paradise of the
Americas" and what are the pub
lie and private relations beWteen
the white and cOlored people
here.
will very greatly like to have
your corporation Mr.. Editor Gin
,commenting) this letter in your
publication, as a 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
GENE to Cuba up to this date, and
therefore enabling me to offer
them facts and details which will
convince them that this is the
ideal country for their vacations
AS an accountant and general
business agent, dedicating the last
As years to social, economical and
political works, having colaborat-
ed during more than eight years

newspaper man and sociologist
Mr.. Gustave E. Urrutia of the
staff of Diario de lie Marine

Three members of a male quartet
died in a hail of bullets today on
picturesque Lady's Island.
AS they rehearsed their old
songs in an automobile several
hours before dawn, a figure ap-
preached.
What are you folks doing?" a
voice inquired.
Other words followed, then an

rived, Smith Harvey, an island
Negro, had been taken in custody.
The dogs later followed a scent
to Harvey's home, the officers
said. Harvey was charged with
murder.
The dead, who lived in this

u. 5. Apology Admits
jets Flew Over Prague
BY The Assoeioted Press

PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia, Feb.
1.-THE United States admi.te
in an apology to Czechoslovakia
today that two Amercan jet fight
ers flew over Prague February Z.
The United States Embassy ten
dered the apology to the Czecho-
slovak Foreign Minister, which
had protested against the flights
in note February 9.
The American note said the Jets
had come here from Germany by
mistake and gave an assurance
that steps were being taken to
prevent any similar trespassing.
Ambassador Ellis O. Briggs drew
up the note. Acting Counsellor
Alexander Schnee left it at the
ministry.
The embassy's note said the jets
inadvertently crossed the border
of the United States zone with
Czechoslovakia on February 7,
when they became lost on train
ing mission and. mistaking the
Praha ~CPrague) beacon for the
Mammendorf beacon, flew to the
vicinity of Praha."

fees previously had to place en-
ployes on longer working hours if
the situation warranted it.
OF course, many thousands of
additional defense employees will
be placed on "A or 48 hour week.
At present, an estimated 35 per
cent of the Defense Departments
civilian employees work in excess of
40 hours. About one fourth of the
Pentagon's $4,000 employees were
on duty yesterday.
This percentage is expected to
increase to well over SO per cent,
but many thousands of defense
employees will continue on a 40
hour week.
Defense officials say they don't
want to place employees on longer
work week unless it is absolutely
necessary. For one thing, it is
costly because of the rate of over
time payments. Secondly, they
feel that an employees work out
put decreases when he has to work
overtime.
But. as the manpower shortage
becomes more acute, additional
defense employees will have to
work overtime to meet the in
creased Workload.
FUTURE PLANS-Whether the
Government eventually will de-
clare a longer work week for all
its employees depends on number
of things.
First, if the Korean fighting
spreads into a world war, there
will be a longer Government
work week.
Secondly, all Federal employees
may be placed on overtime if the
defense agencies find that their
longer working hours hurt their
recruitment program. Defense of
flcials say they already have de-
tected reluctance on the part of
some persons to take defense Jobs
because of having to work on
Saturday, These prospective en-
ployes prefer to take jobs in nom
defense units which are on the
five-day, 40-hour week, defense
officials say.
WHITTEN RIDER-While GEN

amendment which bars perma-
nent promotions and transfers in
Government. Chairman Murray of
the House Civil Service Commit
tee has qualified his previous 100
per cent Endorsement of the rider
and now says that he'll seek some
changes in it.
Mr.. Murray says he'll seek to
amend the Whitten rider to give
unemployment rights to all per-
manent employees who transfer to
defense agencies. require that en-
ployes may not be promoted to a
higher grade without a waiting
period of at least IL months, and
allow promotions on a permanent
basis only for permanent status
employees who are promoted to
jobs which were in existence be-

NEW YORK, Feb. 7.-Workers

ent wage negotiations are success
full.
A spokesman for the CIO In

sumed wage talks today covering
1900 workers on the East Coast.
None of the principals would

complished, nor would Commits

the Federal Mediation and Con-
ciliation Service, who sat in on
the meeting.
Negotiations have been going

'Dophnio Magma Flea Helps Control Pollution

would kill the flea was pretty sure
to kill fish life, and conversely, if
the flea could survive, scientists
considered the water safe for fish.
The American Viscose Co. had
done a lot of research on pollu-
ton abatement before DR.. Rem
was called in. But they hadn't
quite succeeded in removing the
harmful wastes from the river.
Pollution Was Alarming.
The local Izaak Walton League
was alarmed, and the Interstate
Commission on the Potomac River
Basin was cooperating in an eff
fort to cleanse the Shenandoah.
The Virginia Water Control
Board also wanted to see the
Shenandoah become again fish
erman's paradise.
Now the river is recovering and
sportsmen once again are taking
bass from the stream IN the Front
Royal area.
DR.. Rem makes two kinds of
tests with his flea circus. One is
a comparison test, and the other
a long-range survival test. The
comparison test works like this:
If a company wants to know
how much zinc, or some other
metal it can safely dump into a
stream, Dr.. Rem goes to work
with his pets" He places them in
a small aquarium and pumps in
stronger and stronger amounts of
the material in question until the
first flea rolls over and kicks up
his heels. That first death is the
danger signal.

Duff TeIIsRepubIieans
Vandenberg Illness
Has Hurt u. 5. Policy
By the Assoeioted Press

DETROIT, Feb. 17.-Senator
James H. Duff, Republican, Of
Pennsylvania, told the Michigan
Republican convention today that
the extended illness of Senator
Vandenberg, Republican. of Mich
igan, was one of the nations
greatest losses because of its ad-
verse effect on the American for
eign policy"
He called Senator Vandenberg
"the great protagonist of a BIZ
partisan foreign policy" and said
that if the senior Michigan Sen
ator had been well during the
past two years "our foreign policy
would not have been so strange" ,"
Senator Duff objected to the
trend of congressional debates over
the Presidents power to send
troops to Europe.
"It should be clearly remem-
bered," he said. that the United
States has continuously used our
troops in Europe for more than
five years since the end of World
War II. Our military forces have
been used aggressively during this
period as in the case of the Berlin
airlift. This use has been sane
toned by more or less general
acquiescence OF a bipartisan
nature.
I'm reality" he said, what we
are debating is whether the judg--
ment of our military high COM
mand is sound in sending more
troops to Europe.
Are we not to take the advice
of these great generals-Marshall,
Bradley. Eisenhower and Mac
Arthur-the same group of gem
erals who were responsible in
World War II for the greatest
military success in the history of
the American people?" Senator
Duff asked.
Senator Duff countered objec-
tions that some European nations
are not doing their share to fight
Communism with the remark,
"All of the free peoples of the
world have not been doing
enough"
He recalled the "disintegration"
of the United States military
forces in the past five years in the
face of "the higest Federal ex-
penditures in the history of this
country"

/. COMMISSION-Chairman John
ston of the Senate Civil Service
Committee intends to hold hear
ings as soon as possible on his bill
to reorganize the Civil Service
Commission and force the ap-
pointment of new commission
chairman.
Although Senator Johnston S
bill, which was introduced the
other day. provides for abolishing
the jobs of the present three COM
missioners and would require the
President to send three new NOM
nations for the jobs for term
appointments. the measure is spe-
cifically aimed at present commits
sion chairman. Harry B. Mitchell
denomination Of the other two
commissioners, James Mitchell and
Frances Perkins, probably would
not meet much opposition in the
Senate Civil Service Committee
which would handle the nomina-
tionS.
Senator Johnston feels that his
bill is the only way to get new
leadership in the commission, since
the White House has refused his
request to replace Harry Mitchell,
who submitted his resignation
more than two years ago.
Privately, many Capitol Hill and
Government observers feel that
President Truman is being unfair
to Mr.. Mitchell by not appointing
a successor. Mr.. Mitchell, who is
over the retirement age, has
agreed to stay on until a successor
is appointed, and it is not his fault
that the White House has been so
slow in appointing the new man.
Being a good soldier, Mr.. Mitchell
has no other choice but to stay on
the job until President Truman
makes up his mind about who is
going to be the commissions new
chairman.
The Johnston measure would
appoint three commissioners on
2. 4 and 6-year basis for the
initial terms, and thereafter for
6-year terms. Senator Johnston
said this system of term appoint
ments applies to most Federal
agencies and should also apply to
the commission. At present, the
three civil service commissioners
have indefinite appointments, SUBJ
ject to the pleasure of the Presi-
dent.
