Roam Through Capitol

the rebels disdained alcoholic
beverages.
They explained that rules Of
the revolutionary army forbid
drinking. An official of the
Cuban Embassy, however,
quickly noted that this prohibit
ton has not been extended to
the diplomatic corps.
The Cubans appeared de-
lighted at their reception both
here and in New York. They
explained that they thought
they had promoted good will
toward Cuba and its new lead
ership through their personal
contact with the public and
press of the United States.
Perils Ahead
Comdr. CienfuegoS. who led
the first rebel column to come
down out of the hills and fight
the Batista forces on the plains,
said he felt the most perilous
of his military duties still
await him.
I'll probably have to sign
5000 papers as soon as reach
Havana" he said.
The rebels are flying to Mi
ami this afternoon to mingle
with their compatriots in Flor
ida.

Cuban rebels, armed with toy
pistols and smiles, roamed
washington today dissent
mating good will through bur-
geonine black boards.
Attired in guerrilla garb, the
10 mountain warriors landed
at National Airport yesterday
amid a flag waving welcome
from members of the Capitals
Cuban colony for an unofficial
good will visit.
The group, their pistols
safely tucked away in diplo-
matte hands, includes. the Cuban
Army Chief of staff, Camilo
CienfuegoS and Undersecretary
of Defense Pedro Maret.
Wreaths Laid
The emmiSsaries laid wreaths
at the Tomb of the Unknowns
and at the nearby monument
to the battleShip Maine this
morning.
Dressed in the manner of
frontiersmen or GIs fresh from
an all-night march, they at
tended a reception in their
honor at the Cuban Embassy
last night.
The 27-year-old chief of staff
expressed some distress at re-
ports that he had packed a
pistol at the party.
1T was only a toy gun"
Comdr. Cienfuegos said. I'VE
are using a gun for three years.
We have slept with it every
night and we feel naked with
out it. But we left our pistols
with the Embassy people when
we arrived at the airport. We
feel safe here"
Boosting a two-year growth
of facial foliage, Comdr. Glen
fuegos said his men would not
with their boards
until the aims of the Cuban
revolution are entirely fulfilled. ;"
Wounded 3 Times
The youthful military chief
who was wounded three times
in the warfare that overthrow
The Batista regime, said:
THE revolution has only
begun. We have so much to do.
The fighting in the mountains
was easy compared to what re-
mains to be done in Cuba"

with Mr.. Dulles o nhis globe
circling missions. said she was
confident that the ailing Sec
rotary viii get back to his job.
The ONCE staff party was one
OF three given for Mr., Dulles
yesterday, Mrs. Dulles. who has
been constantly at his bedside,
helped him celebrate at all
three parties. The first came
with presentation of a birthday
cake by doctors and nurses.
The cake was decorated with
the great seal of the United
States. The third was a family
gathering.
Between parties, Mr.. Dulles
underwent another X-rsy treat
ment for cancer.
Herter in Line
If the President is forced
to appoint a new Secretary, the
general understanding among
Senate Republicans is that he
will promote Undersecretary
Christian A. Herter.
Some influential Senate Dem
ocrats are known TO have told
administration officials, they
would regard Mr.. Herter as his
most acceptable replacement.
One influential G. o. P. Sem
ator said he had been informed
reliably that if Mr.. Dulles
should step aside, Mr.. Eisen-
hover has decided against 60
ing outside the State Depart
ment for a successor.
This probably would involve.
the Senator said, the appoint
ment of Mr.. Herter as Secre-
tary with c. Douglas Dillon,
now Undersecretary for Eco
nomic Affairs, as his chief as
sistant.

Strike Of Mexican Rail Workers
HoIts Two-Thirds of Notions Trains

MEXICO CITY. Feb. 2e
CAP).-striking Mexican rail
workers had until noon today
to return to work or face dis
missal. Two thirds Of the ma
tons rail system was tied UP.
but a slight break in the strike
put some key trains back in
operation last night.
The wage strike by many Of
the country's 10000 railway
workers was the first major
domestic crisis for President
Adolfo Lopez Mateos since he
took Office last December l,
The walkout began at noon
yesterday, affecting $3.50 miles
of the 14,030-mile governments
owned rail system. The gov
eminent promptly ruled the
walkout illegal and threatened
the workers with dismissal If
they were not back on the job
by noon today.
Some came back during the
afternoon and night. But many
said they would not go back
to work until they heard from
Demetrio Vallejo, head Of the
railway union.
May Go to Court
Mr.. Vallejo showed no sign
Of backing down. He said he
would seek a federal court in
junction against the Govern
ment ruling that the strike is
illegal.
Railway General Manager
Benjamin Mendez said trains
left Mexico City last night for
Guadalajara, Veracruz and
