Cuba Bans insults
10 Leaders or Heads
Of Foreign States
BY N. Assosiu,sd Pres.

HAVANA. Cuba. Aug. 13.-
Two of the favorite pastimes in
Cuba for generations are now
banned by law.
One Of them was insulting
the Cuban government; the
other was thinking up new of
fensive phrases for the heads
of other governments. chiefly in
the Caribbean and Latin
America.
But now insults to the head
of any friendly foreign state, or
its diplomatic agent or repre-
sentative, or any other foreigner
entitled to consideration as a
representative, are prohibited.
Fine and Sentence Provided.
The law applies to those who
"in any manner defame, insult
or provoke by word or deed, or
threaten" such foreigners. Those
found guilty in the courts may
be sent to prison for from three
months to a year, or fined $3.50
to $500, or both.
For years it has been intrig-
uing for Cubans and other resi-
dents to read the almost daily

ed with Policeman n-of the Month
Awards yesterday.
Presentation of the medals
for outstanding service was
made by Chief Of Police Robert
v. Murray at a. restaurant in
the 4700 block Fourteenth street
NV, at q North Washington
Lions Club meeting.
Those singled for praise were
James A. Donohoeb and Lee Nc
Inteer of the Sixth Precinct and
Robert L. Gillian of the Tenth
Precinct. All are privates.
Pvts. Donohoe and McInteer
were wounded seriously on June
%, when they stopped Joseph r.
Lambert, 26. colored, of the 1900
block Irving street NV, a sus-
pected car thief.
Instead of needing the officers
order to submit to questioning,
Lambert pulled a .45-caliber
automatic from the waistband of
his trousers and fired.
Pvt. McInteer was dropped in
his tracks. Pvt. Dnnohoe. how
ever, managed to crawl to his
scout car before lapsing into un-
consciousness and radioed an
alarm.

insults heaped upon some chief
of a foreign state, or an official
of that government. Usually,
those who busted themselves
most at this were political exiles
Of those countries. living in
Cuba.
But Cubans often got into the
discussions too. taking sides. and
defending such persons or in
venting new insults with which
to denounce them. In Cuba,
principal targets have been the
leaders of such countries as the
Dominican Republic, Venezuela,
Peru, Colombia, Nicaragua and
Argentina.
United States Special Target.
AS a very special target, the
United States and its Presidents
have for years been subjected to
bitter insults chiefly in the
Communist daily newspaper Hoy
Of Havana. Hardly day passed
but what such men as Franklin
D. Roosevelt. Harry Truman or
Dwight Eisenhower were called
"assassins," "murderers" or cor
rupt tools of Wall Street" by the
Communist daily.
But favorite target of all
exiles here was GeneralisSimo
Rafael Trujillo of the Dominican
Republic. He was. a frequent
subject of insulting cartoons and
caricatureS as well.

Uniformity in Design
Of N Antennu Sought
By the Assoeicfed Press

KANSAS CITY.-With more
television stations opening here,
City Manager L. p. Cookingham
shuddered at the prospect Of
countless receiver antennas tow
ering over the city slightly resi-
Dental areas.
Some cities have so many
antennas Of varied design and
height that they have become
urban uglies,,' he said. II hope
we can find some means of
escaping this"
So he issued an order to de-
partment heads: See if it's pos
sible to require at least some
uniformity in antenna design.

quotas, accepting the drop in
support prices. wheat may be
selling at the lowest price in
years-in the months just ahead
of the 1854 congressional cleo
tions.
MIR. Benson proposed quotas
under terms of farm laws as a
means of preventing the accum-
ulation of a larger surplus Of
wheat. Current supplies are the
largest of record and another big
crop next year would add to a
Government problem of what to
do with the extra supplies.
Despite reports of strong op-
position in the East, farm officials
said heavy vote for quotas was
expected in the major wheat
producing States of the Great
Plains.
There, wheat is a major cash
crop, and growers are more in
terested in the level of wheat
prices than Eastern States grow
ers, who plant relatively small
acreages as a part of crop ro-
tation practices.
Hands Off Attitude.
No strong campaign has been
put on for or against the quotas.
Mr.. Benson has maintained a
hands off attitude, as has the
American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton. The National Grange. while
expressing dislike for controls.
has advised its members to vote
for them as a necessary evil" in
the present circumstances. The
National Farmers Union has
urged its members to vote for the
controls.
Farmers last voted in 1912 on
wheat controls. Of more than
100000 eligible to vote then, 392,-
600 cast ballots, 82.4 per cent
for quotas. In a SIMILAR referen-
dunn the year before the vote for
quotas was 81 per cent.
In the 1912 referendum, farm
ers in five States cast less than a
two-thirds vote for controls. The
States we're New York, New Jer-
sey, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Ok
lahoma.

Red Boxes for Fines
Are Plague to Firemen
BY the As.eeiated Press

McALESTER, Okla.-Little red
boxes are plaguing city officials.
The city recently instituted a
painless method for paying over
time parking tickets. Motorists
were allowed to place the tickets
and Is cents in red boxes in
stalled in each downtown block.
This allowed them to avoid the
81 police fine.
Firemen. however, got an alarm
from the industrial section soon
after. When they arrived, they
found farmer trying to stuff
his overtime ticket and a quarter
in a red fire alarm box.

Eastern Opposition
Seen Key 10 Vote on
Wheat Tomorrow
By The Asseeioted Press

Farm leaders said today wheat
growers east of the Mississippi
River apparently hold the key
to a Nation wide economic vote
with strong implications for next
years congressional elections.
1t is the referendum tomorrow
on the question Of invoking rigid
marketing quotas on the 1854
wheat crop.
Reports received by headquar-
ters of the National Farmers
Union and the National Grange
indicated that opposition to
quotas was fairly strong in
Pennsylvania. Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois.
Needs Two Thirds Vote.
The quotas require the ap-
proval of at least tWo-thirds of
the growers voting. Thus a MI
nority of growers could defeat
the control program. Its defeat
would bring Government: price
supports down from an average
of about 1920 bushel to about
$122.
Production controls have never
been popular among wheat grow
erS, although they have never
talled to vote them when the
question was submitted.
During the campaign last year.
President Eisenhower pledged to
minimize Federal agricultural
controls. Secretary of Agricul-
ture Benson has said farmers
want a Federal farm program
free of Government domination.
He has promised to seek a better
program.
Now crop and carryover cir
cumStanceS have confronted him
with the prospect of controls on
one farm product after another.
Farm prices-and therefore in
come-have continued to fall.

Underground Water

Ohioans can expect a definite"

The low ground water level will re-

according to c. V. Youngqust, chief

er.
Possibility of recharge of Ohio's
underground storage reservoirs to
normal this spring is about one to
ter, Youngquist said. He added it
would require precipitation during
April and May of so per cent above
normal which, records kept since
1883, show happened only once in
10 years.
He reported the past winter was
below normal in both rain and snow.
