NEW YORK, April 8. (UP). -
The American Merchant Marine
Institute, comprising 70 companies
which operate three fourthS of

decision on whether to defend the
practice of American ships flying

Most such ships are tankers. A

Other members of the institute,
however, who confine their opera

that it would lead to difficulties

Stiff Measures
Against Strike

HAVANA, April 8. -(UP).-
The Cuban cabinet met in emer-
gency session most of the night
and drafted a series of stiff de-
crees to avert a rebel threatened
general strike aimed at overthrow
ing the Government.
1t also moved to end a run on
Cuban banks and prevent a finan-
cial crisis.
The cabinet session, from mid
night until after 4 am, came as
the Dominican Republic rushed
five planeloads of arms and am
munition to Cuba to help in what
government sources c called 'its
greatest hour of peril.
Dominican strongman Rafael
Le6nidas Trujillo acted on an
emergency request" from Presi-
dent Fulgencio Batista as rebel
forces frightened a s~tranglehold on
Oriente Province and called for
new "ambushes" of pro-govern-
ment persons in threatened towns.
Batista and Joaquin Martinez
Saenz, president of the Cuban Ma
tional Bank, issued a joint state
ment assuring Cubans there is no
truth to "unfounded rumors" the
government is planning to COM
mandeer bank deposits.
The rumors spread earlier this
week the cabinet proclaimed a
state of national emergency which
empowered the government to zap
propriate funds.
Cubans began withdrawing their
savings from the banks and there
were long lines at some of the tel
Ter windows yesterday.

Military Assistance, White Suites

WASHINGTON, Apr. 8. (UP).
Lincoln White, State Department
spokesman, declared today that
US. policy forbids shipments of
arms from this country both for
the Cuban Government and for
revolutionary forces fighting a.
gainst it.
White made the statement in
answer to a question at a press
conference on the cancellation
two weeks ago of a shipment
of 1850 Garand rifles for the Gu
ban Government of President Full
gencio Batista.
White repeated statements made
before by the State Department,
that is, that the United States care
fully studies arms shipments to
the zones where political tension
exists.
He continued saying that con-
situations are being held with Gu
ban officials on the matter. 1t is
believed they are taking place in
Havana.
Asked if this means lifting of
the suspension is probable and
arms may be shipped to Batista,
he said the possibility exists. How
ever, in answer to other questions,
he said present US. policy is con-
trary to permit arms shipments
for both the government and the
rebels.
Asked if this means that the
United States does not want to
send arms to Cuba to be used a.
gainst the revolutionaries, White
said:

NU0EAR ENERGY EXPERIMENTS
IN AGRICULTURE PLANTED At
INTER AMERICAN INSTITUTE

WASHINGTON, D. c. (PAU).
What happens to coffee if the

Farmer scientists of the Inter-
American Institute of Agricultu-
raj Sciences, an agency of the Or
sanization of American States, will
attempt to answer this question IN
Forthcoming nuclear energy expe-
riments to be conducted at the
unique GAS farm at Turrialba,
Costa Rica.
The Institute known to far
mers and scientists throughout
the Western Hemisphere simply
as "Turrialba"- has set aside a
plot of ground and built a laboraty
to measure the effects produced
by bombarding growing crops with
gamma rays.
The program is being carried
out as part of an agreement be-
tween the Atomic Energy Commits
sion and the Institute. Atomic
operations at Turrialba will be
conducted on a two-acre plot sunk
In a natural hollow in which cof-
fee, cocoa, bananas, vegetables and
grasses will be planted. All these
will be subjected to bombardment
OF gamma rays ~radiating from CO,
bait bars operated by remote con-
troll from a laboratory on the out
skirts of the field. The labora-
tory will also serve as a radiation
counting room and for studying
the after effects of the atomic
shots.
Here also scientists will work
on problems of metabolism, the
growth and nutrition of plants, eff
fects of fertilizers and rainwater,
transmutations and pollen disper-
sion.
A more likely place than Tu-
rrialba in which to explore the re-
lation of atoms to human appeti-
ties would b. hard to find. Because
OF the topography of its $500
acres, ranging from tropical sea
level to temperate climate altitu-
des, almost every known farm and
forest product can be cultivated
successfully.

UNDER THE NORTH POLE

THE EXPLOITS OF two United States submarines
in crossing the North Pole under the ice is almost like
the reading Of science fiction. One we'll known writer
did envision such a feat. but at the time it made good
reading, and no one venturedt to take the story seriously.
THE MILITARY ASPECTS Of the feats were
played down, President Eisenhower giving emphasis, to
the contrary, on the commercial advantages of cutting
the distance between Hawaii and Europe by several
thousand miles. But the military implications were
there. An atomic submarine, such as the Nautilus or the
Skate, equipped with atomic rockets, Of 1,500-mile
range, could be within easy striking distance of Russia.
But more, the thin ice on the surface could make detec-
ton most difficult, if not impossible.
THE FEATS WIEtE significant because it tends to
raise Americas prestige in the eyes Of the world, especi-
aly since the loss occasloned by the launching of Sput-
nix. That is why Commander W R. Anderson, skipper
Of the Nautilus, was specially honored in a White House
ceremony, and the entire crew of the submarine given
special citations.
AN ASPECT OF the feat was the navigation OF the
submarine without the aid Of conventional navigational
devices and aids, such as the sun and stars. These two
submarines are equipped with what is known as an
~inertial navigator which enables them to sail through
uncharted polar waters without use Of the sun or stars.
THE THINGS THAT science is doing should make
for a better world, with the military aspects being
played down. That is why President Eisenhower prob
ably spoke of the commercial values, rather than OF the
military. And that is in keeping with Americas view
point. where talk of war, and defense are matters forced
upon us.

the Nautilus or the Skate will sail this way, and the
people of these Islands will have an opportunity to. see
