Forces United
In Mountains,
Invaders Say
Complete Initial
Operation; Planes
Attack Havana
BY the Associated Press

Invasion forces have linked
up with guerrillas in the Fs-
cambray Mountains of Central
Cuba and completed the first
phase of their drive to topple
Ffdel Castro, Cuban exileS re-;
ported today.
Rebel planes struck at Ha-
vana and Cuban Air Force
headquarters.
Cuba's radio said four planes
were shot down, one of them a
North American military air
craft piloted by an American
who was killed.
Cuban Foreign Minister Raul
Roa tol dthe United Nations,
This is another proof of the
direct participation of the
United States Government in
its mercenary action against
Cuba"
Trouble appeared rlewing at
the Plaza de Guanabo Naval
Base 25 miles east of Havana.
Castro'S radio said intense fir
ing had broken out there, but
gave no explanation.
All Calibers in Action
A Castro government radio
operator reported to his COM
mand post that he heard firing
by "calibers of all types" and
that he could clearly see lu-
minous signals. He reported
he could not tell the source of
the firing, or whether the lllu-
minated signal was the work
of anti-Castro rebels on Cuban
soil.
Informed sources reported
that rebel picket boats along
the Cuban coast are broadcast
ing into Cuba appealing to the
people to rise against the
Castro regime.
l Some rebel activity has been
reported on the north coast of
Oriente Province, in the area
of Nipe Bay, where there is an
important airstrip and where
Soviet technicianS have been
extremely busy in recent
months. There had been spec
ulation that the Russians were
trying to set up a missile base
in that area.
Council Reports Linkup
The linkup of the invaders
and guerrillaS in the old revo-
lutionary battle-ground of ES-
cambray was reported by the
Cuban Revolutionary Council
in New York.
GuerrillaS in the mountains
have been holding out despite
months of attempts by Castro'S
army and Peoples Militia to
diSlodge them. They once
numbered up to 5000 men but
how many remain is unknown.
The invasion force landed on

racketeers' take is estimated at
an annual -billion-plus.
Surely. you've seen th e
crooks ads. They're so tricky
they get by the most cautious
newspapers. and they dot the
mass-circulation pulp maga-
zine columns. Here's a rundown
of the most typical come-ons.
Typical ad: Address and mail
postcards at home. You can
make over $50 a week. Send 81
for information and instruc-
tions.
Racket: You send the 81, get
back a booklet explaining that
you're to address cards adver-
tising, say, nameplates at 81 .98
each. If you continue you send
another $5 for $50 unstamped
postcards which you must send
to your own list with stamps
you buy. The chances of your
earning money are next to zero.
You lose instead; the promoter
gets your cash.
Typical ad: 500 monthly for
doing assembly work at home.
Racket: You must buy the
instructions and materials for
the items you'll assemble at
home-say, costume iewelry,
bow ties or dog tags. Then you
have to find your own buyers

I could go on with dozens of

points. I hope, are clear. Re-

Be on guard too against such

hide the identity of the giver,
guarantees of a market or a
tremendous demand for your

Oh! So Very Lobored
Is Poor oh! Wyoming

What is fondly regarded as
Americas bountiful pioneer
spirit was markedly missing
Wednesday evening at the
opening of a five-night run of
"Oh! Wyoming" at the Cath
olic University Theater.
Chief reason for this lack,
ever a necessary stage ingre-
dent but even more so in a
musical which has been de-
scribed as "a folk tale of the
Western plains" can only be
tri-fold: the undistinguished
book. lyrics and music provided
it by Mary O'Hara.
Miss O'Hara, to balance out
the adjectives a mite, is the
quite successful author of three
best-sellerS. One of these is
titled Green Grass of Wyo-
ming" a name, by coincidence,
given to the single winning
chorus number in the show.
The story told here is a
simple one, about love. It's

No one who ever has known

nave not been working IN
regular season theater. Or those
who have worked briefly in
what are called "flops," which
are hard on both the actors in
.volved and the Internal Rev.
enue Service. 1t is the unem-
ployed actor, of course, who is
the more to be pitied but there
is also the feeling that if the
IRIS were more successful, the
whole country would be better
off. .
However, to get back to the
main theme of the reverie, its
fascination lies in the kind of
plays upon which lately idle
stars-with boxoffice names
Still-are prone to pounce.
There is a certain uniformity
in these in that the subject,
broadly speaking, is the war
between the sexes. This does not
imply a reversion to the old
bedroom farces. Summer thea
ter has progressed beyond
Getting Gertie'S Garter" and
up in Mabel's Room" Life
does not stand still, not even in
such an area as the war be-
tween the sexes.
Where it moves, in our rev.
erie about the pouncing actors,
is toward greater sophistication,
We have gathered quite a bit
of evidence on this subject in
the last fortnight "a reverie
word if there ever was one)
and, for want of anything else
to write about, are prepared
to present it here.
Let us start with the case of
a not-too-long -ago-W Washington
star, Myrna 10y. Miss 10y has
pounced with The Marriage
Go Round" as her summer
package. She and it, and Claude
Dauphin where's he beenO
will go circling around summer
theaters from this month until
September. This is a perfect
illustration of the fact that the
pounced-upon plays are the
"naturals" for the pouncers, the
ones they do with the most
polish and the least effort.
Let us look at another case,
that of Dane Clark. Tense types
are his speciality. the kind who
look as if they are going to
shatter like a break-away chair
with their next twitch. Well,
Dane has found his man. the

The Minutemon Flies

The Air Force has ample reason to
be "jubilant" over the successful first
flight test Of the Minuteman, our solid
fuel intercontinental missile. Gratifying
though this is, however, 1t does not mean
that we have found our way out Of the
missile woods.
The Minuteman is almost two years
ahead Of schedule-in itself a remark
able achievement. When perfected, 1t
will be able to carry small" nuclear
warhead something more than 5000
miles. We use the quotation marks
because this small warhead will have
a blast power roughly equivalent to
100000 tons OF TNT-or about Is times
the destructive force of the Hiroshima
bomb. 1t hardly belongs in the category
Of child's toy.
There are other advantages. Unlike
the Atlas and the Titan missiles, the
Minuteman will be mobile. It can be
moved around on freight cars so that
an aggresSor, in surprise attack, would
not know the exact location of his
