Cubo Sets Stiff Duties
As Reserves DwindIe

HAVANA, sept. rs (AP) -
Fidel Castro has proclaimed an
austerity program in Cuba to
combat his biggest threat--a
dollar shortage.
The bearded Premier moved
to clamp stiff controls on all
foreign exchange dealings and
nearly prohibitive duties on
imports. New tariffs ranging
from 80 to 100 per cent viii be
applied on 500. value at the
port Of embarkation. 1t was
announced last night. -
Mr.. Castro says the nation
must save SITS million in
foreign exchange to maintain
economic stability. Cuba's gold
and foreign exchange reserves
stood at $110 million on Sep
TENDER Is, 81 million less than
when ousted dictator Fulgencio
Batista fed New Years Day.
Cars, Ty Costlier
An 80 per cent duty on
American television sets and
"a so per cent levy on American
cars and refrigerators are to
be imposed. Many essential
products and some fruits, vege-
tables and other foods will be
beyond the pocketbook Of more
Cubans now.
The full impact Of the new
taxes on the consumer is diff
cult to estimate since the sur
charges win be applied to the
value Of the items at the for
eign port.
Il Even without the new taxes
cars are expensive, with 1859
Chevrolet models already re-
failing at $3.135 to $4,000.
