British World War 1
 Hero 'Taffy' Jones, Dies

SWANSEA, Wales, LR = Ira 9Taffy) Jones, famous airman of World War I who survived 28 crashes and was credited with 40 victories in air duels, died Mon day night in a hospital. He was 65.
 Death was due to injuries suf- fered in fall from ladder at his home six weeks ago.
 One of his celebrated World War I exploits was chasing away a German bomber by attacking it in a plane armed only with a Very pistol used to fire signal flares. The flares frightened off the bomber.
 Decorated many times, Jones tried at the age of AS to get into the air force in World War II. At Windsor Castle King George VI told him:

Latins Reluctant to Actively Support
 us. Against Castro
By J. M. ROBERTS associated Press News Analyst

The Organization of American States acted much tougher to- ward rightist dictator Rafael Tru iillo than against pro-Communist dictator Fidel Castro.
 In the case of Truiillo, where the United States was not a prime mover, the GAS intervened to cut off both his diplomatic and econ omic water by breaking relations and applying sanctions according to the ability of the individual country.
 In the case of Castro, where the direct conflict is between him and the United States, the other countries backed and filled all over the place rather than go on record as approving anything which seemed to give the United States any right to intervene in a Latin country.
 They said they were against infiltration of the hemisphere by extra-hemisphere politics such as that of international Communism, and against acceptance of such infiltration and promises of mili- tary aid by any member. The re- solution was powerful enough to drive the Cuban delegation out of the meeting, though not pow erful enough to name the Castro regime as it's objective.
 This is being hailed as victory for the United States, chiefly, it seems, because it was more than expected.
 Undercurrents of Wariness of the United States, and of habitual compromise within the GAS were still evident, however. Take the chief delegate from Venezuela, whose action against Trujillo had been fully supported by the US. He withdrew from the meeting because he didn't want to sign even the Watered-doWn resolution against Cuba.
 In debate, the Latin nations for the most part repudiated Cas- tro's attack on the United States, -pooing his talk of aggression, past or future.
 But just what did the sessions on Cuba accomplish?
 There were expressions of prin- ciple. The hemisphere is opposed to international Communist inter VentiOn. Underneath it is also still opposed to and afraid of US. intervention, except when big piles of dollars are involved, as they were involved at this meet ing and without which endorse ment of U. s. principles might have been weaker.
 The GAS likewise is opposed to any member accepting such in terVention.
 What does it propose to do about it, collectively?
 Nothing.
 Not until the United States can better document its charge that the Castro regime is definitely an advance patrol for international Communism, and not then unless the US. program can be demon strated as more interested in the Cuban people than in preserving business rights in Cuba.

in during the last five years, con-

Increase in gifts, Mason said, will

so cut interest costs, leading to
reduced fees to residents. He pre-
dicted that Richland Homes will
be completely paid for within

that a recent study of maintain
ance costs show that such costs
now average &c per day per person,
and are dropping.
Mason also urged the directors
not to let the Home fill up to
rapidly after completion, but to
allow at least three months for
both the staff and the residents to
become accustomed to their work
and residence.
Mason predicted no troubles in
filling the Home, since it will also
provide care for the infirm aged.
This advantage makes people
choose it as a permanent residence
for aged persons, who will not
need to be transferred elsewhere
when they become infirm.
He urged the directors to Sc
