The Cuban government to-
day was denied the names Of
persons who had financial deal
ings with the former Naval At
tache here, after a judge said
he would take judicial notice
of what's going on in Cuba"
District Court Judge Luther
w. Youngdahl made his ruling
after attorneys for the former
attache, Comdr. Miguel Pons,
had contended that the Castro
regime had suspended all guar
antees of civil liberty" :
Cuba wants the names to
exact vengeance, including
,death penalties, from those
persons who are in Cuba or
whose families or properties
are located in Cuba" Attorney
Nathan NJ. Lubar said.
The judge ordered that the
Riggs National Bank withhold
its records involving Mr.. Pons'
account there.
' ComdF. Pons resigned dramat-
Scally from his post with the
Embassy here after charging
that Mr.. Castro had betrayed

Unlike private car drivers
who travel the highways

on the job and working at
this highly skilled profession
for which he was rigidly
trained when he is at the
wheel. He depends upon his
job for a living and drives ac-

Before qualifying for train
ing, an applicant must sue
cessfully pass a series of men,
tai, psychological and physical
tests to determine his suit
ability. An applicant may be
physically fit and have a good
scholastic background but be
emotionally unSuited to cope
with today's highway traffic."
Greyhound'S driver training
program has won many ma
tional awards for its effici-
ency, being one of the most
rigid in the nation. Experts
lecture on various phases of
safety, the latest scientific in
StrumentS are used to test re-
action time to emergencies,
and motion pictures are used
to show the correct and in
correct ways of driving.
All drivers are required to
attend safety clinics to learn
the latest safety practices and
they must pass periodic phys

Robin Hood, U.S.A., Goes to Jail

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, R - Mary M. Cardwell, 37, was sen fenced to three years in prison after pleading guilty to illegally receiving $26,8000 in dependency allotments from three service men husbands.
 Her attorney said she h d shared the money with parents and children of the husbands.
 "You might be sort of Robin Hood," Judge Bryan Simpson told Mrs. Cardwell, "but the fact that you were generous with this money doesn't change the fact that you defrauded the govern ment."

 Crabs 'Tip-Toe' on Bottom
 As for king crab, they don't seem to mind being watched. They can run quite fast, however. Powell has never seen one swim ming free of the bottom. They walk "tip toe" on the ocean floor as fast or faster than a skin diver can swim.
 Powell seldom goes down with out a companion-diver as he says almost anything can happen in diving. Bleeding from the ears and nose can occur from ascend ing too rapidly. If the sinuses are clogged or the diver has a cold, too rapid ascent may rupture blood vessels and cause a hemor- rhage.
 Nothing serious has ever hap pened to Powell. He has great respect for King Neptune's twi- light kingdom and has even taken special courses in skin diving to better cope with emergencies.
 Powell recently made films of a king crab moulting and discard ing it's old shell.
 The only time a crab or crusta- cean can increase its size is dur ing short period after it has shed its old shell. Comparatively little is known of king crab growth rates. After matching, the crabs life begins as a speck of microscopic plankton in the sea, From this almost invisible size it sometimes grows into a 24-pound monster with leg spread of nearly 58 inches.
 A crabs body must measure 612 inches across the body before it can be taken legally by a fisher man.
 Picking up a large king crab, Powell says, can be real hazard ous for a diver. For that reason he never tries to handle more than one at a time under water where they are particularly act i've. They can tear divers suit apart while waving their enor- nous legs and claws about. Killer Whales Are Hazard
 Another menace that might contribute considerably to the in- somnia of a skin diver less deter mined than Powell, are killer wales. These marauding raiders of the deep have been captured in the vicinity of Kodiak with as many as 13 seals in their sto- machs. At times they swim right through the harbor.
 "Killer whales and skin divers just don't mix," said Powell. 'I hope I never encounter killer whale. Perhaps they could dis tinguish a skin diver from a seal. I hope they can"
 The biological evidence being gathered will be used for manage ment purposes wherever king crab are found and harvested. Much of the success of managing this valuable resource by the AL aska Department of Fish and Game will be based on the type of data Powell is accommodating in his undersea diving investigations at Kodiak.
 Another aspect that intrigues Powell is the use of scuba gear for personal use fishing. He en- visions the thrifty minded Alas kan housewife of the future bus fly augmenting her Friday sea- food menu by shopping on the ocean floor dressed in a skin divers suit. The latest style, of course.

Skin Diving Proves Valuable Tool
 In King Crab Research at Kodiak

led studies of king crabs is the latest wrinkle being developed by the Biological Research Division of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game at Kodiak. The ocean floor is the ranch, steel framed wire covered pens the corrals and skin diver biologist, the crab herder.
 The purpose is to gather bio logical information that will keep the embryo, dollar earning king crab industry in the Kodiak Afognak area operating on sus- tained yield basis.
 When research biologist Guy Powell began his king crab re- search two years ago, he studied crabs by trapping them in pots and hauling them to the surface for examination. For Powell this was hardly intimate enough. He felt that crabs like people could best be studied if you visited them in their own homes. He pur- chased a skin divers suit and headed downward into the under sea world to pay his first visit.
 As crabs are nomadic in habit, Powell found it necessary to build pens to confine his crabs to a certain area to insure continuity to his studies.
 Now when Powell flippers his bubbly way bottomWard in his scuba (self-contained unit breath ing apparatus) suit, he can observe his imprisoned tenants living in their natural environment on the ocean floor.
 Powell tends 300 crabs in six pens that have a combined area E.of 500 square feet. A two-inch stainless steel wire mesh keeps the smallest crabs from crawling out and prevents outside crabs from crawling in and eating the food placed there by the diver. The pens have no bottoms so the crabs can burrow in the mud or sand just as they might in their nat ural state.
 Works al 50-foot Depth
 Landsmen shudder when Pow ell describes his year around dives in northern waters. The temperature of the water is about 38 degrees in a 20-foot depth of water at low tide. The water is colder at 50 feet, but he can work quite comfortably for a whole hour at that depth and time passes quickly.
 The suit Powell wears is made of neoprene. It is known to divers as a wet suit. Although the suit fits skin tight, water seeps into the suit under the wrist and leg bands. This is gradually warmed by body heat until the diver is actually encased by a thin film of tepid water The suit, includ- ing pants, shirt, gloves, boots and head cap covers the body. Goggles fit over the eyes. Only the area around the mouth is exposed.
 For breathing under water Powell carries 75-pound tank of compressed air strapped to his back. Air is breathed through a mouthpiece attached to hose from the tank. This will provide underwater breathing for about an hour. The tank appears heavy, but it is of course hollow and will rise buoyantly to the surface if released from the diver.
 Dives Once Weekly
 Powell descends to tend and
