Guantanamo Keeps on Watch

Guantanamo area. Castro
can close the valves any
time he chooses. The base
uses 100000 gallons Of
water a day. There are only
10 million gallons stored
against the drought to come.
The daily use Of water can
be cut, in an emergency to
100000 gallons, and this
hold out for 20 days without
outside help.
Fires can be started in
shops. About 20 per cent of
all electricity here comes
from Cuba. 1t can be shut
of at any time. Castro can
also order his 5000 Cubans
not to report to work. If
this happens. no one will
dare to disobey, and the re-
pair work on ships will be
seriously curtailed until such
time as Seabees can take
over.
I'VE are not expecting
war;" Admiral Bennison said,
"or q mass attack. We
must worry about harass-
ment and sabotage" He has
another worry. Seven hun
dred miles to the west, Cas-
tro has declared that all sea
lanes north Of Pinar del Rio
ProgiNce to a point 80 miles
~ belong to Cuba and
that all American vessels
enter that area at their
peril.
INTERNATIONAL law
states that no nation can
claim sovereignty over the
seas more than three miles
from its shores. Quietly, and
without publicity, the State
Department has replied to
Castro by stating that the
United States Navy has been
using the area between Key
West and Pinar del Mar as a
training area for many years
and has no intention Of get
ting out. The next move, as
always, is up to Castro.

DEAR ABBY: Ever since /

play piano. My father laughed
at me and said music was
for sissieS. He tried to get me
interested in sports, but I was
never any good at 1t. (He was
a good thlete.) / took piano
lessons at school and stayed
evenings to practice there.
When my mother bought
me a spinet last Christmas I
became the worlds happiest
boy. My father became the
worlds disappointed m an.
Abby, I love music and my
teacher says I have talent. I
know I have failed my father
and / am sorry, but what can
I do to make 1t up to him2 I

BIG DISAPPOINTMENT.
You haven't "failed" your

GUANTANAMO, Cuba.
Oct. 26-This naval base is
buttoned tight. The business
as-usual attitude is only on
the surface. Underneath,
the United States Navy waits
for trouble.
AN EMBARGO was slapped
on Cuba by the United
States at noon october 20.
Within four hours, Admiral
Robert L. DenniSon, Supreme
Commander Atlantic, was
coming into McCalla field
here in his 4-DSAR plane.
He had summoned Rear Ad-
miral Allen Smith, jr., COM
mander of the Caribbean
Frontier, and the two met
in emergency conference.
There are 5000 Cubans
working on this base. and a
minimum Of Is per cent Of
them adore Fidel Castro. If
only l per cent of them are
potential saboteurs, then
there are 80 unknown haz-
ards on the base. Ammuni-
ton is hidden in caches all
over the hills here. Oil tanks
glisten Silvery in the sun. The
water supply Is precarious.
.Admirals Dennison and
Smith said that they expect
some retaliation to- the eui<
barge. They don't know what
form. it will = take. Castro's
army isn't strong enough to
attack Guantanamo, nor is
it close enough to the trails
Of the Sierra Maestro Noun
tains. The Cuban navy is q
feeble collection of gunboats.
Therefore, if open war Is
not imminent, the admirals
feel that Castro may try
sabotage and harassment.
This can take any one Of sew
eral forms. One is the dis
abling Of machinery in the
shops which abut the water
front. The water supply to the
base comes from the Yeteras
River, 4.6 miles outside the

Revival Due

Plans for the restoration Of
the Carver School Recreation
Center were outlined last night
at a meeting of the Deanwood
Civic Association.
The action came as a result
of the associations request that
the District Recreation Depart
ment reopen the facilities to
children who presently have to
travel long distances to the
nearest recreation center.
Plans have been made to
train three volunteer workers to
supervise the program, which
will be offered daily from 3 to
IS pm.
The group also elected officers
for the coming year. They are
Mrs. Marie Rogers. president:
Mrs. Laura Porter, vice presi-
dent; H. Reynolds. second vice
president; Mrs. Sereta Staley,
recording secretary; Mrs. Doro-
thy James, corresponding secre-
tary.
Also Mrs. Mildred Campbell,
financial secretary; Adorv Mar
Gus, chaplain; Mrs. Sadie Toll
bert, archivist: Wendell Camp
bell, parliamentarian, and Wal
ker Clark. treasurer. They were
installed by L. Duncan, vice
president of the Federation Of
Civic Associations. sh
In other action, the associa-
ton went on record as favoring
the completion of the proposed
new school at Forty ninth and
Lee streets NE, before the
building of housing projects
also proposed for the area. This
would prevent Carver School
from becoming overcrowded
again, members said.
The group agreed to send a
letter to the director Of high
ways and traffic urging flashing
15-mile-per-ho speed limit
signs for the school during
school hours.
The association met at Car
yer Elementary School, Forty
fifth street and Sheriff road

Dear DIR. Steincrohn: I
would like some information
regarding loss of weight by
shots" In other words,
taking shots to let the excess
water out Of the system and
thereby reducing. Do you
recommend this method? Can
1t have any serious effect on
the system? Mrs. A., N. j.
AS MUCH as I try to be
level-headed and Unconditional
about it. somehow / get a bit
upset when anybody asks me
about shots" I wonder
where the term originated in
the first place. Did a doctor
say: I'm going to give you a
shot" or did a patient say it
when he was going to get a
hypodermic needle stuck into
him: "Is this shot going to
hurt, doctor?"
Whatever the terminology,
or its origin, everybody knows
that a "shot" means a hypo-
dermic injection. Now, as I
have written here before,
such injections have their
specific indications. If you
need penicillin fast, then
you'd better get it by hypo-
dermic. The same goes for
some other treatments.
However, what I am against
is taking 'hypodermic injec-
tions as shortcuts. For ex-
ample, when a patient is
anemic, he thinks taking iron
by needle will get him we'll
quicker than If he takes it in
pill form. (Not t1ue.)

short cut to weight loss, Mrs.
A. Don't! Sudden loss Of
weight by water removal,

A man pleaded guilty yester-

slaughter after going on trial
on the more serious charge OF
first-degree murder.
The defendant is Orange

of Eighth street NV, accused
in the fatal shotgun shooting
of William H. Christian. 20. also

October, 1859.
The plea to manslaughter was
entered before Judge Burnita

mony by one prosecution wit

deputy coroner, who told of the
gunShot wound and cause Of
death.
Judge Matthews referred the
case to the probation office for

for which no date was set. The
maximum possible penalty for
ma1slaughter is a prison term
of five to Is years.
There were no eyewitnesses
to the shooting. which took

Police quoted Pope as stating
he fired when Christian tried
to come into his room. Mr..

house told police that earlier
Pope had become angered at
another man, at a party and
that Christian had grabbed a

quiet him.
Mr.. Mcintyre said he thought
the lends of justice would be
well served" by the plea to

"Wednesday, October Is, 1860

Don't tell any panelists on
the I've Got Q Secret TV show
tonight, but they're in for a
guessing game with an expert
on the worlds deepest hole.
The panelists will have to
ferret out the identity of Navy
1t. Don Walsh, who last Feb
ruary descended more than six
miles into the Pacific aboard
the bathyscaph Trieste.
On a brief stop in Washing
ton yesterday, the Navy sub
marine officer discussed what
he and his colleagues have been
doing to take the guesswork
out Of exploring Inner space. :"
1t. Walsh, 20. a 1854 Naval
Academy graduate. was pilot of
the Trieste on its fecord-break-
ing 35,800-foot dive into the
Challenger Deep OF Guam. The
Swiss oceanographer, Jaques
Picard, accompanied him on
the dive into the Challenger
the deepest spot in the world,
most authorities agree.
Like Balloon
The Trieste has a gasoline
filled hull with a pressure gon-
dola for its two-man crew hung
below it. The vessel moves up
and down like an underwater
balloon by taking on or drop
ping ballast.
Since the eight-month series
of IA dives ended in August,
1t. Walsh has been busy analyz-
ing the data gained from the
project at the Naval Elec-
tronics Laboratory in San
Diego, Calf.
Much of the information on
the dark depths. of the sea will
be invaluable in the deadly
serious game of undersea tao
tics played by deep-diving nu-
clear submarines, he said.
you know, about IS per
cent Of the earth is covered
by the oceans" 1t. Walsh said
as he fired up a cigar. Its
been said that man will learn
to live on the moon before he
learns to move freely on the
ocean bottom, and I think it's
true"

Explores DeepD Dive Dotd

"Our work with the Trieste
had two aims. The first was
pure research findings. The
second was to develop equip.
ment and instruments for un-
dersea vehicles operating at
pressures up to 8 tons per
inch" he said.
Battles Under Water
1--WE think the naval battle
fields of the future will be TN
der water. Now, you've got to-
know your battlefield Just as
you would on land.
IA research vehicle like the
Trieste can give you a COM
plete profile of temperatures,
water density, salinity and
marine organisms from surface
to bottom. All Of these factors
affect the speed at which
sound travels underwater"
Sound Important
The rate of sound travel is
extremely important to sonic
devices used in antiSubmarine
ships. subs designed to kill
other subs, and underwater
weapons. 1t. Walsh said.
The coming nuclear subs are
going to cruise far below present
operating depths, and he pre-
dicted that to resist pressures
subs will have to be smaller.
This may mean moving cer-
tain electronic and propulsion
equipment out Of the interior
or subs and into the water to
save vital space and cut down
on heavy hull structure, he said.
The propulsion motors
mounted outside the hull of the
Trieste itself, he pointed out,
were encased in transformer
oil with a device to equal pres
sure inside and outside the thin
skinned motor housings. p
you could do the same thing
with the batteries and cleo
tronic gear that take UP so
much room in a SUBJ" he said.
Right now anything is pos
Sible in our business" he added.
Necessity is the mother of
invention"

Apple time is a time for
Joy, for replenishment, for
harvest and thanksgiving.
Only it doesn't always work
out that way. I WILL say
that after our first apple
harvest season we did give
thanks-for not having more
apple trees.
THERE WAS the day, for
example, when a big empty
truck pulled into our barn
yard bright and early one
morning. The little man at
the wheel was nervous, spec
tacled and faSt-talking. With
him were two disheveled
friends in various stages Of
tipSeyness.
They were truckers from
South Carolina. The driver
said he wanted to buy about
200 bushels of Red Delicious
apples, preferably drops,
which are apples on the
ground. We had plenty on
the ground--about 1000 de-.
posted there when a strong
wind took the orchard by
surprise.
How much do you want
for them?" asked the little
driver.
WELL" I said, my farm
hands are pretty busy today.
II you fellows win do the
picking up yourselves, you
can have the apples for so
! cents q bushel."
"US do the 'work?" asked
the little driver in a shocked
voice.
The two drunks with him
sat bolt upright in the truck
cab as if yanked by mari
onette strings. Their eyes
popping. 'Work? Work ?"s
yelled one Of the men. who
said that?" He looked in
sulted.qs"We NEVER work"
he announced. staring at me
hard, and then slumped down
against his pals shoulder and
went b slasp.
"Anywey, we couldn't pay
that much, even If you do the
picking" said the little driver.
These apples go to the pro-
duce wholesalers, and our
profit has got tor be split
among the three Of U.S."
THE THREE MEN drove
down into the orchard to
look at our pure but fallen
apples, came back and Of
fered me 40 cents a bushel
for 225 bushels if my farm
hands did the picking UP and
If I threw in Is bushels free.

q financial nightmare. With
a baby on the way, there's
not a penny saved UP. His
salary disselves so fast I
never really see it.
Last week Roger got a
brainstorm. He went to a
finance company and got
them to take over all our
debts. Now we owe them
$4,000 which we must pay
of at II per cent interest.
And my husband is thinking
of buying a second car!
I wish he'd buy me one
good nights sleep. What If
he should lose his job?
Roger w. - Marcia was
raised by a Caspar Mileque-
toast. Her father believed
you must never spend a dol
lar unless you have three.
So they never had a thing.
Her mother darned and
patched clothes until you
couldn't recognize them,
even though they could well
afford new ones. And in the
end their savings all went to
pay hospital and doctor bills
and funeral expenses. I want
more than that out of life.
I work for the gas company.
I make a decent Salary. Wen
never be rich, but Wen have
a steady income.
II I listened to Marcia and
waited until we had the
money saved up first for each
thing we want, we'd still be
saving UP for a car.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
The only thing wrong with
borrowing and owing is bor-
rowing and owing more with
out first paying back. In her
own world Marcia is battling
the irsidious spiral that has
laid low empires.
Pay-aS-you-go means live
within your means to Marcia
but to Roger IL means pay
as-you-go-in -into-debt and 60
now, pay later.
"A rich sInan is one who
has morethan, he spends" Z
This Is tn opinion not Of
a CaSpar Milquetoast but of
a common-Sense consumer
named Bernard Baruch. With
Marcia's urge toward con-
servatism in spending, per-
haps Roger can still become
q rich" man some day. De-
spite his overwhelming debts,
he may be able to plan q
more solvent future.
In getting Caught up" and
on an even keel financially,
Roger will know q new kind
of richness, the kind that
Marcia is trying to explain,
the kind that doesn't show. "
It's made UP Of treasures like
contentment and self-reli-
ance.

Futter Punfish

ANNAPOLIS. May 7 (AP).-
The crappie is Maryland's most
popular warm-water fish, and
State scientists are trying to
figure out how to make them
grow larger in two large metro
politan fishing holes.
Edwin NJ. Barry, chief of in
land fish management, said
that studies which began
April l at Loeb Raven and Tri-
delphia Reservoirs may bring
an answer. The studies will
continue for a year.
There are many small crap
pies in both of these popular
fishing spots," Barry said
But most of them are small
