the number of delegate votes they

the ceiling is lower than a maj

The party's top nominee must
win the votes of at least 761 dele
gates al next weeks nominating

by Stevenson supporters that
the former Illinois governor, who
was defeated by President EiSen-
hover in the 1852 and 1856 cleo
tons, will be nominated again il

Castro Reverse Action
Of Selling Oil Refineries

WASHINGTON, lR-The United
States Tuesday protested as I'M
fair, arbitrary and unlawful the
Cuban seizure of two us. owned
oil refineries. 1t asked Premier
Fidel Castro to reverse the action.
The stiffly-Worded protest was
delivered in Havana by US. Am
bassador Philip Bonsal.
But u S. officials felt small
hope that Castro would backtrack
and return the refineries 10 the
American owners.
The Castro regime seized the
Texaco and ESQ Standard Oil
refineries last week when the two
companies. plus the British-Dutch
owned Shell Oil Co, refused to
refine crude oil which the Cuban
government had brought in from
Russia.

basement room whose doors open
only when a secret password Is
spoken by our guide. 1t Is locked
again as soon as we have entered.
Before us is seated a motley group
of about fifty men inhaling mar
cotic-hashish, believe-through
the long stem of pipe with q red
hot coal on top of it's bowl. The
pipe is passed from mouth to mouth.
1t is evident that the smokers are
poor and they are exceedingly un-
kempt Why have they come? Be-
cause this narcotic imparts to them
for few hours at least-an es-
cape from reality, making them to
forget their poverty and the hard
ness of their lot, transferring them
for little while to fanciful Mir
wanna of sweet contentment and
bliss.
And in our own country? Scan
dals in high schools upon finding
students smoking marijuana;
alarming increases in the SNUG
Cling and sale of narcotics of many
kinds; the staggering total OF men
and women becoming chronic alco-
holics-all these are indices that
much is wrong here. And why?
Why this widespread resorting to
drugs and drinks? People evidently
want to get away from something,
to forget something. 1t may lie In
the stresses and tensions OF life as
we now live it. 1t may be nagging
or kindred bad conditions in the
home. 1t may be-well. it may be
many things. Basically, however,
it is the desire-at least for few
hours-to escape from reality.
What can be done about it? Of
tentimes, disappointingly little. In
spite of many benevolent efforts to
change conditions, poverty, illness,
family tensions and estrangements
and evils of like kind remain dire
realities for many people. Some try
to escape from them-futilely, of
course-by resorting to drugs or
drink. But no burdens are un-
shouldered thereby; they return
quickly and then are heavier to
bear. We might as well face the
inexorable fact that some burdens
cannot be escaped they must be
carried. For these burdens we need
to pray God for stronger backs,
always seeking from Him the will
ingnesses and the courage uncOm-
plainingly to carry whatever bur-
dens He lays upon us. In due time
He will lift them from our should
ers and leave us stronger for hav-
ing carried them.

ESCAPE FROM REALITY
@Pray not for lighter burdens but
for stronger back

Several weeks ago there came to
my desk a magazine carrying illus
trations of the Italian city of Ven
ice. They bridged my thinking
across years of time to recall my
own visit to this interesting place.
doubly interesting because Venice
has the unique distinction OF being
the only city in the world whose
streets are water and whose only
transportation is by boats, COM
monty called gondolas.
BY rare good fortune I chanced to
come to Venice the week before the
beginning of Lent and on an even
ing when its people were celebrat-
ing a festival similar to the Mardi
Gras observed annually by the peo-
pie of New Orleans. Everywhere
there was a wild abandon to mimi
cry and fun. Most of the jewellers
were masked and costumed as
kings, princesses or buffoOns. Null
ticolored Japanese lanterns hung
everywhere, rejecting undulating
ribbons of red and yellow and green
in the dark of the water. Words fail
to convey the charm of that first
impression as we stepped into a
gondola and were rowed slowly
down the Grande Canal. We felt
as if We were part of the pageantry
and people of some fairy tale. Ev-
erything was so beautiful and so
unreal
The next morning brought quite
an awakening. Most of the city's
buildings loox battered and tawdry
when daylight. comes. Evidence of
poverty is everywhere. Venice is
rich only in its memories. Even its
palaces show the ravages of time,
reminding one of the wrinkled
o f O d d i s
dreaming of past achievements and
glory with no hope of their return.
Why, them all this merriment and
pageantry? Probably because the
people want an escape from stark
reality even If 1t is only for an
hour or two. They want to be
queen for day., or king, or clown
to forget for a little while the
hardness of their lot. Who would
blame them-not Il
Several weeks after my stay in
Venice / came to Alexandria, gate
way to Egypt. Here, at the sug-
gestion of an excellent native guide,
companion and | were taken to a
