rode Board to Appeal
For Channel DREDGING

A direct plea to the Chief
of Army Engineers for money
to dredge the dwindling navi-
cation channel of the Potomac
River below Washington will
be made by the Washington
Board of Trade.
The decision to confer with
1t. Gen. Emerson Itschner was
reached in an emergency meet
ing of the boards river and
harbor committee yesterday.
The dredging is urgently re-
quired because mud and sand
deposits have reduced the
channel depth to 20 feet over
a 3-to-5 mile distance of
Smith Point and Maryland
Point. The area is about as
miles downstream from Wash
ington.
May Halt Cruises
Frank H. Collins, committee
chairman, said the committee
members are deeply concerned
that unless the channel is
cleared to its full authorized
24-foot depth, the summer
cruise ship Evangeline may not
be able to reach the city for

cruises starting in September.

The sunny days we've beer
having are having their effect
on Shaw pool which is splash
ing over with people seeking
refreshing place to go.
More than just the entice-
ment of water is offered to
visitors of the pool. There are
classes available in just about
any phase TO water activity in
which a person could be inter
ested.
Here is rundown of the
classes offered at the pool for
anyone interested in getting in
on them.
The class boasting the larg-
est enrolment is that for be-
gining swimming in which 720
children are enrolled. These
classes are offered daily from
8:45 through 11:00 a. m. Sew
eral cadet swimmers volunteer
to teach the class and then the
most proficient are chosen
for the task. The classes are di-
vided so that no instructor has
more than six learners under
her at one time, and can there
by give more personal attention
to each neophyte.
From that stage the SWIM

class offered is that in surviva,
swimming. All water skills ir
learnig to save ones self are
there for the asking. Some OF
the things taught in this class
under Hall are how to disrobe
in water, what to do when
thrown from q boat, artificial
respiration, making an exten-
sion to save a person in dan
gerous water without endanger-
ling yourself and learning the
varied floating devices. Those
IL and over are eligible to en-
roll in this class.
Most of these classes will end
the second week of August.
Pool m a n ager Marianne
Rothhass has commented on
what fine job the Handicapped
children are doing who are en-
rolled in these various classes.
Special classes are not Of
fered for the handicapped.
These children are taken aside
only until it is definite that
they understand what they are
to learn then they are put in
with the rest of the class.
Miss Rothhass also is en-
thused about the wonderful
crowd that shows UP Monday
night to take advantage of
adult night.
The Recreation department
certainly hasn't left any phase
Of water safety and swimming
left untouched or so it would
seem from the agenda.

Cuban Search
Still FruitIess

HAVANA, Oct. 81 (AP)-
Hope faded fast tonight that
Cuba's missing army COM
mander would be found alive.
Darkness forced search planes
to abandon a fruitless hunt for
the second day.
The army chief, Mai. Camilo
Cienfuegos, vanished Wednes-
day night on a fight from
Camaguey to Havana. Rumors
swept Havana today that he
had been found, but at night
fall authorities said no trace
had been discovered. The air
force announced the search will
be resumed at dawn tomorrow.
American rescue planes joined
in the operation late today.

There have been reports that
Maj. Cienfuegos has been at
odds with Maj. Raul Castro,
brother Of the Prime Minister,
and that friction was bound to
arise now that Raul has been
named minister of the armed
forces.

On speculation was that an
anti Castro agent had hidden
in Mai. Cienfuegos' five-passen-
ger plane and once In the air,
kidnapped the army leader,
forcing the pilot to fly to the
Dominican Republic or else
where outside Cuba. Mr.. Castro
suggested in conversations at

shot down Maj. Cienfuegos'
twin-engined cessna. :.
Here are other October events
since the resignation and ar
rest Of Maj. Matos set of what
seemed to be a chain reaction:
A former chief Of the Castro
air force. Pedro Luis Diaz LAM,
staged a leaflet raid over Hav-
ana October 81. provoking ex-
citement in which two Cubans
were killed and nearly sol
wounded, apparently when
anti-aircraft shells and bullets
fell in the streets. Mr.. Castro
charged Maj. Diaz Lanz' plane
bombed and machine-gunned
the capital.
Bitter Nv Attack
Mr.. Castro made a bitter tele-
vision attack on the United
States on charges Of permit
ting his political enemies to at
tack Cuba from Florida bases.
He followed this with a mass
meeting Monday in which he
and other leaders accused the |
United States Of campaigns
against Cuba.
The United States responded
with q strong diplomatic note
stating the Castro government
was deliberately attempting to
destroy the traditional friend
ship beween the two countries.
The Castro government pro-
the new minerals law
which some American indus
trialists here said was likely to
force out of business such

Mining Co. that invested SIS
million in the project to develop
Cuban nickel and cobalt ores.
