Raul Castro
GetsCzarR Role

HAVANA, Oct. II (AP). -
An intensified campaign against
foes of Prime Minister Fidel
Castro's regime was predicted
today with the elevation OF his
younger brother to a role as
Cuba's military czar.
Raul Castro, %, was named
minister of the Revolutionary
Armed Forces-a new minis
try-at a cabinet meeting last
ing, into the early morning
hours. Fidel Castro presided.
Raul has been commander in
chief of the armed forces with
out cabinet rank. In his new
position he has full power to
reorganize and direct the
armed forces and the national
police.
Some observers predicted a
purge in the armed forces Of
all officers suspected of being
friendly to the United States.
Raul is a bitter critic of the
United States.
Raul's elevation to the cabi-
net enhances his position as
heir-apparent. Fidel Castro
designated Raul his successor
as "leader of the Cuban revo-
luton" some months ago.

The biggest single military

the Defense Ministry as the

The Germans plan to have
about 300 of these aircraft but
are buying less than a third
of them in the United States.

BONN, Germany, Oct. II
(AP) P).--Arms-making is on the
increase in West Germany, and
American money and technical
know -how-almost by accident
are giving 1t a big boost.
Just how far it will go re-
mains to be seen. United
States Government officials say
they are watching the develop
ment with interest and some
concern.
The Defense Ministry says
it has no desire to see a major
arms industry grow up again
in Germany but adds it can't
do anything to prevent Amer
leans from spending their
money where and how they
wish.
American and German in
dustrialists agree that arms
making is not the major con-
cern of American investors
here.
But, a German official said,
who can say where arms pro-
duction begins and ends?"
The statement came from
Rudolf Richter, director of the
stock market division of the
influential German Bank.
Three Major Factors
He and American experts
agree there are three major
factors in the ever-increasing
flow of United States dollars
into German industry:
/. Americans want to get a
firm foothold in the European
market, particularly in Ger
many. before the six-nation
common market erects a for
midable tariff wall against
American goods.
2. American investors eSti-
mate their money can go fur
ther where production costs,
particularly labor, are cheaper
than at home.
8. Americans feel that West
Germany is going to grow
more and more important as
an arms producer and that
profit is to be had in the field.
"But the latter point is es-
sentially a byproduct of the
first two," says Mr.. Richter.
Aircraft Big Problem
American officials point out
that the major area of United
States investment in the field
of defense production has been
aircraft.
United States money is going |
chiefly into the building of
wholly owned subsidiary plants
rather than in purchase Of
shares in German industry.
The United States Chamber
Of Commerce Office in West
Berlin reports there are now
about $50 wholly owned Amer
ican firms operating in West
Germany and Berlin.
There also are numerous
firms in which Germans and
Americans share ownership.
The number of these could not
be learned.
A similar growth Of United |
States investment is reported
in France, and, to a lesser de-
gree, in the other four coun-
tries of the common market
Italy, Holland, Belgium and
Luxembourg.
The German Defense Minis
try is in bit of a box. 1t does
not want to let the impression
get abroad, particularly in the
Communist world, that Ger
many is once again to become
q war arsenal.
At the same time, Defense
Minister Franz-Josef Strauss
says increased arms production
will give West Germany more
of a say in NATO councils.
A spokesman for Mr.. Strauss
said yesterday, "it is entirely |
untrue that West Germany will |
develop a great arms industry
with or without the help of
United States capital"
Curbed by Treaties

treaties from producing the
more powerful weapons of war,
such as atomic bombs, battle
ships and long-distance mis-
siles.
But it can build aircraft,
tanks, short-range missiles. So

Since Mr.. Marvin is not on

Committee members hope the

However, the proposed rules

Responsibility Rule
The Joint Committee is seek
ing a second rule change. The
revision would free members
of Congress from the respon-
sibility for books borrowed by
staff members and friends.
Hitherto, staff members or
friends granted book borrowing
privileges by the Library on the
Endorsement of Congress mem
berS have sometimes taken out
valuable books and then failed
to return them.
On occasion, the staff mem
bers would quit working for
the Congress member.
AS a result. the Congress
member has been held f1nan-
cially responsible for replacing
the book.
Under the proposed rule
change, staff members would
borrow books under their own
name and be responsible for
the return themselves. Borrow
ing, possible only in person
and not by phone as before.
would be limited to two weeks
plus two weeks renewal.
Members of Congress would
be responsible only for the
books they personally borrowed.

The Minnesota studies show
ed that at a uniformly low tenn
perature of 20 degrees F.,
changes in ice cream occur very
slowly. But at higher tempera-
lures, such as are common in
home freezers or freezer cab
inets, changes are more rapid
and ice cream should not be
kept so long. Ups and downs in
temperature, especially if they
are above zero, cause ice cream
TO lose its smoothness and be-
come coarse or icy in texture.
Packaging counts, too, in how
long ice cream holds its best
quality. Unless it is packaged

Part of this will be due to an
increase in away-from-home
jobs by wives, Miss Middleton
reports.
The Census Bureau indicates
that we can expect to have
about 20 percent more women
employed in 1865 than we have
now. Research work by USDA
with four small Georgia cities
showed that about 40 percent
of the money brought home by
working wives was spent on ex-

to serve with poultry or meat.
To prepare, Mrs. Smith says you
add 2 cups of water to each
quart q pounds) of berries.
Cook until skins have popped.
Press through food mill or strain
er. Add sugar to taste-about 2
cups for each quart of puree.
Pack into rigid containers leav-
ing space for expansion in freez-
ing at the top. Seal and freeze.
The puree may be served when
slightly thawed. Or it may be
cooked for few minutes until
it gives the 'jelly test" some
times called the "two-drop test"
because at this point the hot
mixture forms two thick drops
when poured from a large spoon.
How much space to leave at
the top of the freezer container?
Any liquid pack such as berries
in sirup or in puree will need "a
inch of headspace in pint con-
tainers. Slightly more headspace
is needed for narrow-top con-
tainers. For dry pack, u inch
headspace is enough for any con-
tainer, Mrs. Smith concluded.
