Corpetbogger Foe, 10l

Rowan Columbus Huffman,

Arkansas. died here at his home
yesterday at the age Of l0l.
Before coming to Washington
in l945 to live with a daughter,
Mrs. John Akers, Mr.. Huffman
had spent most Of his life
raising watermelons and "cus-
tom grown" tobacco on q farm
near Eureka Springs. Ark. Mrs.
Akers lives at $40 A street NE.
At his Tooth birthday cele-
hration last year. Mr.. Huffman
recalled boyhood days in Re-
construction Dixie when Union
troops and carpetbaggers we're
unwelcome guests at local
farms.
He said his father had been
kidnapped several times by the
strangers" and that he want

That birthday celebration
had brought a birthday cake
from an old friend, Repre-
sentative Trimble, Democrat Of
Arkansas.
HE is one Of the grandest
men I've ever known" said
Representative Trimble.
Mr.. Huffman had spent
much Of his time studying the
Bible. He smoked but never

Fidel Castro say uncertainty,
created by his government. is
wrecking the Cuban economy

regime within six months.
His supporters describe the
uncertainty as a counter
revolutionary weapon Of Cas-
tro's opponents. exploited In
an effort to create trouble for
the various phases Of his sd-
mittedly ambitious program.
Investors Hesitant
Investors. both foreign and
Cuban, are hesitant to involve
funds in building projects.

Operators Of the nations l61
sugar mills, heart Of Cuba's ma
jor industry. are dragging their
feet in renovating their ma
chinery during the current slack
season. Some labor groups have
urged government intervention
to force what they call normal
repairs.
Directors of American-owned
mills here say frankly they are
cutting back.
Who knows what the agrar-
ian reform program will do to
our holdings?" said one such
executive. I'VE would be foolish
to spend more than an absolute
minimum on renovations when
by this time next year we may
be out of business"
Good Offsetting Signs
Despite the uncertainty, eco

signs:

said there are 100000 Cubans
without work.
Sugar Carryover Smaller
The 1859 carryover of sugar.
Cuba's greatest revenue crop,
has been estimated at about a

IL million tons feared earlier
this year.
Financially, supporters Of the
Castro regime report 1t is more

new tax programs are bring

government ever had.
Among the greatest suffers
from Cuba's national uncer-

which in normal times cater
to thousands upon thousands
of fs'ee-spending tourists. most
Of them from the United States.
Each of Havana's largest tour
list hotels is still losing from
$85, 900 to $150,000 a month.

Lippnlann, 70,
Stresses Role
Of Newsnlen

Walter Lippmann, honored
today on his 10th birthday by
fellow newsmen, declared the
modern correspondent has a
difficult calling but at the same
time has a right to be proud
Of 1t and TO be glad 1t is his
work.
The Pulitzer-prize winning
columnist made the observa-
ton to an overflow crowd at
a luncheon given for him by
the National Press Club.
Vice President Nixon, cab
met members and other prom
inent' Government officials
joined the press corps in the
Luncheon tribute.
Point on Consent
"If this country is to be gov
erned with the consent Of the
governed" Mr.. Lippmann said,
"then the governed must ar
rive at opinions about what
their governors want them to
consent to. How is this done?
They do 1t by hearing on the
radio and seeing in the news
papers what the corps OF cor
respondents tell them is going
on in Washington and in the
country at large. and in the
world. Here we perform an es-
sential service.
SIN some fields Of interest
we make it our business to find
out what is going on under the
surface and beyond the hori-
zon, to infer. to. deduce, to
imagine and to guess what is
going on inside, what it meant
yesterday and what 1t could
mean tomorrow"
Service 10 Citizen
In this. said Mr.. Lippnann,
correspondents do what every
sovereign citizen is supposed to
do but has not time or inter-
est to do for himself.
In a review Of the nearly SO
years he has spent as a news
paper man here. Mr.. Lippman
said the Washington CORES
pondent has learned to be not
only a chronicler of events but
also a writer of notes and
essays in contemporary history.
Nobody consciously proposed
this development, he added:
rather, it has been brought
about gradually by trial and
error.
He expressed the opinion that
the modern Washington cor
respondent is a product Of the
great depression Of 1929, the
social upheaval after it and
the imminence of war in the
1930s.
He said an unending series
of emergencies and crises after
the economic collapse and wars
have given urgent Importance
to what goes on in Washington
and in foreign lands.
Cites New Role
AFTER 1929" he pointed out,
"the Federal Government as
sumed a role in the life OF
every American in the destiny
Of the world which was radi-
cally new. The American people
were not prepared for this role
