Cuba's population is whole
heartedly backing, by almost
100 per cent, their new
Premier Fidel Castro. That's
the opinion of Miss Chloe
Clifford, just back from a
first-hand check of Cuba's
two member clubs of the
General Federation of Wom-
mems Clubs, which she heads.
AS president, she is over
seer to nearly IL million
women spread around the
globe in approximately 49,
900 member club organiza-
tons.
Miss Clifford toured San
Juan, st. Thomas, Jamaica
and Cuba, leaving here on
the first day of February and
arriving back in Washing
ton last Saturday.
Her mission included visit
ing with officials of the
CIVIC member clubs in
Havana-The Lyceum and
Tennis Lawn Club and the
Havana Women'S Club.
The latter club, she stress
ed, took no active part in
the revolution.
Backed Castro
Lyceum members, however,
backed Castro 100 per cent
and worked actively for him
while transporting supplies
and living in caves in Oriente
Province for two years, Miss
Clifford said.
In addition to her CIVIC
overseeing duties, Miss Gift
ford visited the revolution
torn areas in Cuba in a
double capacity as vice presi-
dent of CARE.
During her mission she
helped distribute $4,000
CARE packages of food,
clothing and medical supplies.
The people in Cuba, she
observed, back Premier Cas-
tro and buck the United
States Government.
"They have great bitter
ness toward the United States
Government" she stated,
"but they differentiate be-
tween the citizens and our
Government. They think our
Government supported and
furnished ammunition and
guns to Batista."

ing the adulation to Castro

ton, had reservations on
that score.
"As a purely personal OBJ
servation," she commented,
"the people of Cuba worried
me since I have never seen
such dedication, such adula-
ton given to one man as
they are giving to Castro.
1t is dangerous-he is but 81
years of age and may find it
difficult to keep his feet on
the ground and not become
a dictator"
Cuba Neglected
Miss Clifford said she was
distressed by the fact coun-
try like Cuba "only one
hours flying time from this
country" has been neglected
in relationships"
In touring the rebel terri
tory, Miss Clifford addressed
the Cuban village people.

smiled and waved since I
speak no Spanish" she re-
vealed. II did not attempt to
interfere in their politics but
brought greetings from the
American people and wished
them hope and prayers for
unity and good government" y
It was Miss Gifford's first
visit to Cuba, she said. In
Havana, she stayed in the
Conrad Hilton Hotel when
Premier Castro also was a
fellow resident but she caught
not even a glimpse of him
"On the elevators I rode up
and down many times with
the rebels who wore boards
and guns slung over their
shoulders" she noted.
"They were most polite, al
ways smiling and helpful"
she added.
Visits Officers
Miss Clifford said she visited
with the CIVIC member club
presidents - Sonora Rosario
Rexach de Leon Of the Ly-
ceum and Mrs. William T.
Wright of the Havana Wom-
ems Club.
Miss Clifford said her trip
will result in more active
participation between the
parent CIVIC and its Cuban
club membership.
Miss Clifford, of Lexington,
KY, will be seen by televi-
sion fans on Friday night
when Edward r. Murrow
visits her local CIVIC living
quarters on his Person to

Alaska Highway Paving Proposed

A multi-million dollar paving program for the Alaska Highway was proposed by Senator Neuber- ger this week in introducing legis- lation co-sponSored by Is other Senators, including Senator Gruen- ing and Senator Bartlett.
 The bill, similar to one intro duced by the Oreon Senator last year, would authorize a six-year prOram of $11 million a year for improvement of the highway and the Haines Cutoff on the condition that the Canadian Government par ticipate equally in the program.
 Total cost of the work has been estimated by the Bureau of Public Roads at $125 million, including about $15 million, tor making tn1 110-mile connection with Haines into an all-weather road.
 Senator Bartlett hailed the pro posed program and stated he was especially pleased that the legisla- tiOn calls for maintenance 'on a year around basis of the Haines Cutoff which provides the only access to an interior highway which southeastern Alaska has. Regrettably, under the present cir cumstances this is closed most of the year because of snow. If the bill should become law, then we will have way to go by car from southeastern Alaska to Canada, and to all of the States, on a year around basis"

Alaska Is Land Of Young People

Alaska's p0psffatioB averages out as the youngest in the nation, ac- cording to the Bureau of the Cen sus. The fnedian Alaska age is I5.5 years. No other state apprpa- ehes Alaska m this statistic. ...' '''
 This is more than cold, mean ingless figure isolated. and recor- ded by government agency" said Senator Bartlett. Ut is tremen- dOusly important for Alaska. 1t tells us we have young, vigorous population capable of working, ca pablo of doing the job of develop ing the new state. It represents a complete reversal of the situation, for example, in 1880 when the median age of the Alaska popula- ton was 28.7 years. Of course, it causes unusual strains and stresses in providing educational, health and related facilities for the large number of children of school and pre-SchOOl age, but dividends pay able from this young population will soon start to flow to the state" .....>
 The Census Bureau figures were released orly'thiS week. They show that Vermont, with 30.7 years, and Iowa. with. 305. years, have the highest Hredian ages in the nation. The average median age in the United States is 3O.1 years.
 No state has a smaller percen- tage of population 65 years old and older than Alaska, where only A per cent of the citizens had reach ed that age Vermont has 11.6 per cent of it's population in that age group and Iowa 11.2 per cent.
 Alaska's. population jumped 5i percent from April l, 1850, to July l, 1857. That rate of increase was exceeded only by Nevada, with a 6O.7 pc cent population jump Only Vermont, West Virginia, Missis-

There is one undisputed
fact about this, the biggest
horse show in America. It
gives area sportsmen and
women the years best alibi
to spend a whole week in New
York City. whether they fol-
low the horses every after
noon and night or relax in
plush hotel rooms away from
the chores Of the countryside.
Only those whose show
horses have stood up against
year-round judging on the
big circuits van them all the
way north for the National
and then on to Toronto.

The John s. Pettibones Of
Middleburg are in New York
with their Duke of Paeonian,
who is being piloted around
the ring by Middleburg's

the Waldorf, has her chips

time that an American team.
chosen from the top confor-
nation ponies of America,
has ridden against a foreign
team. The British sent over
a planeload of ponies and
riders to compete against
American children.
The try-outS for the
United States team were held
at Devon a few weeks ago,
with invitations sent out to
high-point ponies over the
Nation. Leesburg's Dee-dee
Symington, niece of the
much-traveled Stuart, placed
as a second alternate on the
United States team.
The ponies are being
