.CubaConfideni
Of Solving Oil
Supply Issue

HAVANA, July Q (AP). -
The Castro government spoke
confidently today about its
ability to maintain adequate
supplies of oil for Cuba after
Seizing the major foreign-owned
reflneries.
The Petroleum Institute
echoed the confidence although
it reported tonight that the
supply of crude on hand is
enough to supply the country
for only II days.
The Institute said operations
were normal at the Texaco and
Shell refineries.
AT ESQ Standards plant
largest in Cuba-refining was
suspended this morning for
lack of crude, but the institute
said the suspension was mainly
to permit an annual cleanup
of the plant.
Bank on Red Oil
A spokesman at the insti-
tute said 10000 to 10000 bar
rels of Soviet crude en- route
here by tanker from Casilda in
Las Villas province would be
used to continue operations at
the Shell plant.
American, British and Dutch
oil officials, who are leaving
Cuba as rapidly as they can
arrange their personal affairs,
said Cuban oil technicians
are generally excellent" and
should be able to operate the
ref1neries without difficulty.
Biggest problem ahead for
this tiny oil-hungry nation-it
consumes over $4,000 barrels
of crude daily-is a stable sup
ply of crude for the processing
plants. The Soviet Union has
the oil but experts here say
enough tankers to supply Cuba
with its needs could be ar
ranged only with a lavish out
lay of foreign exchange.
Distribution of gasoline and
other products appeared nor
NAL and there was no notice
able run" on filling stations.
The lone American oil firm
still functioning here is Sin
clair Oil, which has only a
marketing business in Cuba.
Company officials said they had
about a three-week supply of
fuel and their future depends
on the government honoring
contracts they had with Texaco
and ESQ Standard here for
procesSed oil.
The takeOver of ESQ Stand
ard and British-Dutch Shell
refinerieS and marketing
facilities was accomplished
smoothly and peacefully yes
terday with the active backing
of armed members of CaStro's
Peoples Militia.
Officials boaSted they could
operate the reflneries with
Cuban technicians; also that
they would find supplies of
crude to replace those shut
off when foreign firms refused
to process Russian oil obtained
in barter deal with the Krem-
lin or would bring in more of
their own without payment in
dollars.

tion'S permanent chairman,
Gov. Collins, said Mr.. Truman's s
accusation was completely
without foundation"
Gov. Collins, who was chosen
for the post by the arrange
mentS committee named by
Democratic National Chairman
Paul M. Butler, sold:
Il certainly know of no case
where it has been suggested
to me that 1 am expected to
do anything but an absolutely
fair and completely impartial
job"
Mr.. Butler himself was silent
on the Truman charge, but on
Thursday he had denounced as
nasty, mean, vicious rumors"
reports that he had rigged the
convention for Senator Ken
nedy'S nomination.
Senators Gore of Tennessee,
Jackson of Washington, and
Mccarthy of Minnesota, all in
cluded on Mr.. Truman's list of
eligibles, thanked him for the
compliments, but said it had
not raised their hopes particu-
larly.
In Sacramento, Calf, Gov.
Edmund G. Brown, who heads
the California delegation to the
Democratic convention as a
favorite son candidate, said he
has great respect for Mr.. Tru-
man but sees no signs the con-
vention is rigged, the AP re-
ported.
Every candidate wants as
many delegate votes as he can
get, Gov. Brown said, "and
some have been willing to go
into the presidential primaries
to get them. That seems like
just the opposite of rigging to
me-"
Only Senators Kennedy and
Humphrey, of those now backed
by delegates, entered any of the
Democratic presidential pri-
marieS.
Stephen A. Mitchell, Demo-
cratic chairman from 1852 to
1855, said in Chicago that MI.
Truman is irked because he
can't control this years con-
vention. Mr.. Mitchell told the
AP in Chicago;
"Mr. Truman says in his book
that he took charge of the con-
vention in 1852. Now it sounds
as if he has concluded that his
candidate Senator Symington
would be defeated, and he
doesn't want to be there. He
isn't able to take it graciously."
RibicOff "Sad"
Connecticut Gov. Abraham
Ribicoff said in Hartford he
found it sad to see" Mr.. Tru-
man become part of the last
minute desperation tactics" to
stop Senator Kennedy from
winning the nomination.
Mr.. Ribicof is a top support
er of the Senator.
Kennedy is the only candi-
date who went directly to the
people across the Nation" Gov.
Ribicoff told the APO "noW, a
few men want to choose the
candidate in a smoke filled
room. One hundred and eighty
million Americans won't let
them"

Ex-Butcher, 79, Tires
OfIdIeness, OpensSh
BY BARNARD X. LETTER
Star Stan Writer

At 79 most men are content
to sit down and take things
easy.
But not Edgar Browning.
This amazingly spry, gray
haired gentleman, who will be
80 in November, has opened
a meat market because he's
tired of being able to get only
part-time work on account of
his age.
II didn't come out of retire
ment," he points out a bit
testify. III never retire -
don't like the idea of sitting
around doing nothing"
II just haven't worked regu-
larly this past year because
I had some trouble with my
health and some people are a
little skeptical about my age"
Take a look at the schedule
Mr.. Browning has set up for
himself at the shop in the
New Center Market, Fifth and
K streets, and the Skepticism
will turn to awe. 1t reads like
this: 6 am. to $50 pm. Mon
day through Friday and 6 am.
to 7 pm. Saturday.
Own Butcher
And I'll be here every day
and do all my own meat cut
ting. too." he added proudly.
Although he has a business
partner, Edward M. Mullican,
56, Mr.. Browning will be op-
Grating the shop by himself.
Mr.. Mulhcan has another shop
in the market and will be busy
running it.
"I've been butchering all my
life" Mr.. Browning said, well,
almost all-ever since was 10
years old. Owned my own places
and worked for other people
too"
When he got started in the
business a butcher had to kill
his own cattle. he recalled.
There was none of this call
ing up the wholesaler and tell
ing him to deliver you a side of
beef" he said.
In fact, there won't be any of

works display.
Seven Official Places
The two S-by-10 flags that
will be hoisted on the main
flag poles at the Capitol will
fly permanently - day and
night.
In fact, the Capitol and
Fort McHenry are two of only
seven places in the United
States where Old Glory f1ut-
ters, with official recognition,
around the clock.
The others are in Keysville
Md, birthplace of Francis
Scott Key; over his grave in
Mount Olivet Cemetery, Fred
erick, Md: at the Municipal
War Memorial in Worcester
Mass; in the center of the
plaza at Taos, N. Mexico, and
at the Flag House in Baltimore.
Most Americans are accus-
toned to the ritual of raising
the flag at sunrise and lower
ing it at sunset. When they
see the flag flying at night,
even on the Capitol, they au-
tomatically think some one
goofed.
Started in 1918
But the practice of keeping
the flags fluttering over the
Capitol "a hours a day began
in 1918 in response to numer-
Gus requests from citizens who
felt that the flag should fly
somewhere in Wa ashingt ON
around the clock.
The handsome new cotton
banners that will be raised over
the Capitol will be hauled down
only for repairs or replacement.
BY a 1948 presidential pro-
clamation, the flag has flown

day and night-except in bad
Weather-over Fort McHenry,
which was under British bonn
bardment in 1914 when Fran
els Scott Key wrote the words
to the Star-Spangled Banner.
An official act of Congress
in 1854 legally authorized that
the flag fly permanently at the
Flag House on East Pratt street
in Baltimore.
The custom of flying the
flag over the grave of Francis
Scott Key dates back to 1898,
although his composition did
not become the National An
them officially until 1881.
1t is flown around the clock
there in keeping with Keys
words: Gave proof through
the night that our flag was still
there" And it flies permanently
at Keys birthplace for the
same reason.
Carson Legend Remains
Since November IL, 1888, Old
Glory has flown continuously
from a 90-foot flag pole above
the Municipal War Memorial
Auditorium in Worcester. The
memorial to servicemen of all
wars was designed around the
idea of flying the flag "a hours
a day.
According to legend, Kit Car
son nailed the Union flag to a
pole in the Plaza at Taos, N.
Mex, in 1861 and a flag has
flown there continuously ever
since. The legend also has it
that Carson maintained a con-
slant vigil over the flag to keep
Southern sympathizers in Taos
from tearing down Old Glory
and hosting the Stars and Bars.
Actually there is nothing in
the official code covering the
flag that restricts its use to the
daylight hours only, according
to the Capitol Architects Office.
In fact. the code authorizes
the display of the flag at night
upon special occasions when
it is desired to produce a patri-
otic effect"

At 1901 tomorrow two Capitol policemen will raise
TWO new 5Ostar American flags the flag poles at the

At Fort McHenry National Monument in Baltimore Inter-
Tor secretary Seaton will take part in similar ceremony at
exactly the time
The new 5Ostar American flag will then be flying officially
for the first time.

The barrage of mildly worded
diplomatic messages which
poured into the Kremlin from
Western capitals appeared to
be but another round in the
propaganda conflict which has
marked expansion of the East
West cold war since the U-2

The first great casualty

block Mr.. Eisenhower's trip to
Japan last month.
On Monday, just when a re-

for introduction at Geneva, the

The next cold war casualty

A copy of Michelangelo's
David and other statuary, plus
IA crates of books and maga-
zines. were sidelined yester-
day in the trial of a former
philosophy professor charged
with mailing lewd photographs.
The defendant, Herman l..
Womack. 81, of the 1900 block
Of Eighteenth street NV. had
sought to use the materials
in his defense that the photo
graphs Of young nude males
represented artistic apprecia-
tions of the human form.
District Court Judge Alex
ander Holtzof indicated he did
not believe they were relevant.
Mr.. Womack testified he re-
ceived through the mails sew
eral issues of the nudist maga-
zine, Sunshine and Health,
which had been ruled not OBJ
scene by the Supreme Court.
But, after another whispered
conference with attorneys. the
judge also refused to admit the
magazines as evidence for the
defense.
Mr.. Womack, a heavy-set
man wearing thick spectacles,
has a doctor of philosophy de-
gree from Johns Hopkins Uni
versit. He taught philosophy
at George Washington Uni
versity and Howard University.
He also taught aesthetics,
which he defined as ways to
look at art. at Mary Wash

AS a show on its own, The
Academy Song special (Tues-
day. NBC) had its moments;
as buildup for Oscar night,
nothing. . Isn't it about time
they dropped the category en-
tirely-or gave the Oscar in
perpetuity to Sammy Calm?

Bob Hope rates something
bigger than Tuesdays tacky
salute-but the insult" gags,
in the main, were a refreshing
change. Hope was the
class of his own salute.

Arthur Murray ever comes out

Hollywood at his feet-and if
he trips over it, well, that's
Arthur Murray"
