Drop in Cuban Troffc
Costly to U.S.. Firms

Now it has just one from that
city each week.
This airline's passenger
traffic out Of Havana in June.
1860. was less than one-third
of the volume the previous
June. An official Of the COM
pany said freight shipments
to Havana last January were
only about so per cent Of the
volume in January, 1859.
Now that the United States
has embargoed most Ameri-
can-made products. there is
practically no outboun d
freight.
New York Trips Held Up
However, travel on Ma
tional's nonstop flights from
Havana to New York has held
up, we'll, thanks to the eager
ness of Cubans to flee from the
Castro dictatorship.
Pan American Always said
business on its Cuban runs nor
mally would be very heavy at
this season of the year but now
is only moderate. The COM
pany operated the Interconti-
mental Hotel in Havana until 1t
was seized by the Castro gov
eminent last year.
A spokesman for Delta Air
lines said the crisis in Cuba not
only has diverted traffic from
the island but has hurt bust
ness throughout the Caribbean.
The situation resulted in
Delta's slashing its Cuban serv-
ice two or three months ago,
from eight flights a week to
four. And business continues
to decline.
Braniff Airlines, which OPP
crates to Havana, Panama and
South America from Houston,
said its business has been af-
fected slightly, but most of its
passengers are bound for more
distant points.
United Fruit Hard Hit
United Fruit Co., which
maintained a regular steamship
service to Cuba with two sail

by Castro manipulations.

There are, Of course, those

1t seems that the man had
broken his hip last February

Service show that only 45,091
United States residents, went
to Cuba during the first six
months of 1860. This contrasts
with 76,625 in the correspond

Arctic Circle Chamber 'Re-Affirms Confidence In Plowshare Planners

The, Arctic Circle Chamber of Commerce at Kotzebue has sent the following letter to Dr. H. B.. Keller, Test Group Director Law renee Radiation Laboratory, at Livermore,. Calif.:
 "We were surprised to see a re- cent newspaper report, with a Juneau dateline, that the Point Hope Council members are now protesting te Cape Thompson blast. This is a change in atti- tude expressed by individual members of the council to mem- bers of our group when we made a study of your proposal during the year just past.
 By unanimous vote of the members at our meeting in Kot- zebue January Is, after discus sion of this protest we are re- affirming our confidence in the responsibility of your represen- tatives in preparing and conclud- ing this project. We believe this to be a matter of vital interest in the progress of peacetime atomic knowledge and developments. Close association with members .of the Cape Thompson program throughout the 1859 season fur ther confirmed our original posi- ton of endorsement of the pro- ject which was made only after we had investigated and ques- toned the purpose and probable result.
 By copy of this letter to the Point Hope Council we request a copy of the report sent to Juneau which we assume states their specific objections, offering to them our services in Investigating and reporting back on the prob lems that have been brought to their attention"

ASTRONOMY NOTES By OLAF HALvERSoN

It has been thought that since one side of the planet Venus is very warm and the dark side very cold that there are high air currents that flow rapidly from the light torrid side to the dark cold side.
 The cold air near the surface Of the dark cold side would flow with equal rapidity to the torrid side. This state of affairs may tend to equalize the intensity of the two extremes of climate. Being 30 million miles closer to the sun than the earth, Venus may have a higher temperature than the earth, although the heat may be somewhat modified by the clouds which are always in the sky.
 Sometimes faint, grayish light has been observed on the dark side of the planet when it is near est the earth. This was at one time thought to be a reflection from cold and frozen hemis- phere, but a more likely sugges- tion hints that it may be an cleo trical manifestation in the plan cts atmosphere, similar to our Aurora.

Fourth Major Air Disaster Kills 37 In Jamaica Landing

KINGSTON, Jamaica, R = A Colombian airliner bound from New York to Colombia buckled it's landing gear and exploded in setting down at the Montego Bay Airport early yesterday, killing 37 of the 46 persons aboard.
 Seventeen of the dead were Americans, among them son and daughter-in-law of Senator Ho- mer Capehart R-InO. They were Thomas Capehart and his wife, Nancy, both 36, of Indianapolis, on a business trip to Bogota, Colombia.
 Two Dutch and two Australian passengers and five members of he seven-member Colombian crew lived through the crash and the resultant fire that ravaged the two-million-dollar Super Constellation for two hours.
 The plane, operated by the Avianca Colombian National Air line, had made an unscheduled stop at Miami for repairs to a faltering engine. It was 10 hours overdue when it reached Montego Bay, a popular Caribbean resort on Jamaica's north coast 500 miles south of Miami.
 A rainStOrn was over Jamaica but the moon was shining as the plane headed in for landing. Witnesses said the left landing gear collapsed as the plane hit the runway and there was a ter rife explosion, followed by two other blasts. The plane skidded into a sheet of swamp water, "perhaps eight inches deep" Two of the four engines were ripped loose and landed 100 yards from the fuselage.
 It was the fourth fatal crash of a commercial airliner in 1860 and raised the airliner death toll for the first three weeks of the new year to 163. At least 16 others have died in the United States in private plane crashes since January 1.

Air Force Sergeant Will Get Discharged to Operate Alaska Mercury Mine

MERGED, Calif., R = Staff Sergeant Thomas l.. Hewlett, the 28-year-old Castle Air Force Base B-52 tail gunner who says he has cinnebar claims in Alaska which he estimates are worth in excess of 40 million dollars, has won an Air Force discharge.
 Hewlett will be discharged soon, the Air Force announced.
 Hewlett initially had hoped he could remain in the Air Force - He is a veteran of II years and his latest reenlistment would be up in 1865 - but demands on his mercury ore claim forced him to seek discharge, he says.
 He and his wife, Nova, were given the claim from Mrs. Cora Dinsmore, a widow whom the Howletts befriended. She had re- ceived map of the cinnebar de- posit area from her late prospec- tor husband years ago.

.Dr. Spears, Listed Gulf Crash Victim. Located by FBI

PHOENIX, Ariz., R = A grey haired, heavily insured ex-convict presumed dead in mysterious airliner crash has turned up alive here.
 Dr. Vernon Spears of Dallas was the focus of investigation into bizarre circumstances sur- rounding the November 16 crash of a commercial airliner into the Gulf of Mexico.
 Spears was seized by two FBI agents Wednesday as he hurriedly checked out of Phoenix resort motel. He was jailed on charge of interstate transportation of a stolen car, but the FBI was more interested in his answers to these questions:
 What was the 65-year-old na- turopath up to when he took out $1O0,000 in travel insurance? Why was he listed as passenger on the ill-fated flight?
 Did he prevail upon William Allen Taylor of Tampa, Fla, a former prison acquaintance, to take his place on the plane? If so, why and how?
 Was there any connection be- tween Spears and Julian Frank, New York lawyer insured for $90O,000 and named as possible suicide bomber on another air. liner which crashed in North Car olina January 6?
 If Spears has given any an- swers, the FBI won't say. News men have not been permitted to talk with him.
 The extent of the FBI's interest is indicated by the $35, ,000 bond it asked for Spears at his arraign- ment on the theft charge.
 Investigation into the two crashes - both of National Air lines planes - is continuing by the Civil Aeronautics Board and the Senate Aviation Subcommittee in Washington. So far, their probes have not established that a bomb was responsible for either crash.
 The crashes claimed 76 lives, AZ in the Gulf and 34 nearN Boli- via, N. c.
 Spears is accused of driving Taylor's car from Dallas to Ari- zona, while he had permission to drive it only from Tampa to Dallas.
 Testimony at a CAB. hearing showed Taylor. 60, Tampa tire salesman, served time with Spears in 1886. The two were said to have talked in Tampa before the Gulf of Mexico crash. Only 10 bodies = none of them Taylor's, were recovered.
 Spears is no stranger to trouble with the law. He calmly admitted as much at his arraignment.
 The record shows that since 1927, he has been convicted of mail fraud, forgery, larceny, false pretenses, violation of immigra- ton laws, false personation and robbery. He has served several prison terms.
 He was free under $2, 800 bond on a California indictment for abortion when he disappeared.
