Our bearded buddy from Cuba
made an interesting grandstand
play this week after checking in
At the hotel assigned 10 him.
When the management requested
pay in advance. Castro went into
one of his fits and ordered his
official party TO check out and
take up residence in the Harlem
district.
This suited the hotel manage

Temps to hide their feelings upon
CastrO's departure. The Beard
ranted and raved at the exorbi-
tant price requested for his rent,
and after littering the suite with
imported chicken feathers. heads
and entrails, took his leave
Actually we see no reason for.
all the hub-bub and beef about
high prices D.. when he was pay
ing for whatever he got with
American dollars he stole from
Americans in the first placei
Another objection he played
heavily on was the i'll manners
and lack of buddy-buddy atmos-
phere he was greeted with i
What else could he expect when
he appears at world conference
in army fatigue clothes and a
beard that can't compare with a
teen-ager's first try.
Well, il all turned out TO be
just another COmmy propaganda
trick. as il has since been dis
closed that Castro had made res
ervations at the Harlem hotel
as far back as the previous Satur-
day. and at a price double the
amount charged at the first no

is the fact that the Harlem hotel
was the host hotel TO the last
National Communist convention.

bites hard around here. Latest
report is that some of the bugs
are practicing on linoleum floors,
using canned good for pins.
There are some indications that
the United Nations has dCBe 0Osne
good concerning world peace, but
we have always taken a peSsi-
mistic attitude towards the value
Of the organization.
Supporters will point to any of
4 dozen hot and cold issues where
the UN has sent representatives.
and argue that had 1t not been
for the negotiations and sound
advice, there would have been a
war On the other hand, there
are those of US who have doubts
concerning the validity of such
arguments and maintain that the
conflicts dissolved because of a
show of military and naval forces
by nations friendly TO one side
or the other.
II could be argued that the pres
ent United Nations Assembly is
nothing more than a legal gather
ing of the Communist clans and
that they will direct a united bar
rage of insulting propaganda at
the western block Of nations
This they have already done, but
mildly compared to what is yet
TO come.
We think, as many others do,
that it's about time Uncle and
the rest of allied nations, stop
thinking about what reverse eff
feet a direct threat or warning
would have on the "borderline
countries" IL we were to shake
our fists under the noses Of Mr..
X and Castro, and tell them to
pull in their horns and lay down
instead of continuing our mild
hammered now boys, be good"
II might just help TO clear the
air IL we were TO tell Castro,
"An right. Mr.. what you have
taken, you pay for and take
no more, or else" And we
could tell Mr.. K, Before there
are any further confabs. you re-
lease the millions you have en-
shaved. wind up your ball of tape
and take il home"
wonder just what Teddy Roos-
evelt would be doing and saying
IL he were at the UN Assembly
today
We recently had a thank you
note from one of the girls who
participated in the Miss Glacier
beauty contest. In part she said,
Thank you for your considera-
ton. and, i was glad TO see that
in your paper you changed the
name of the contest TO Miss Ola
cier Park / don't think any girl
would appreciate being known as
Miss Glacier"
