Oscar Awards Will Go to Best Actors And Actresses Tonight

SANTA MONICA, Calf. R - Most everybody is betting Liz Taylor will win her first Oscar tonight - everybody but the beautiful star herself.
 I'm not betting on it. Miss Taylor told a reporter, "but I'll be there just the same"
 The tWo-hour Awards Show telecast gets underway at 10:30 D. m. from the Santa Monica Civil Auditorium.
 Bob Hope will be master of ceremonies.
 According to most polls, only the big contention is among the men. It's a doWn-to-the-Wire race between Jack Lennon and Burt Lancaster for best actor. The same goes for Sal Mineo and Peter Ustinov for best supporting actor.
 Among the supporting actress es, Shirley Jones, like Miss Fay Tor, is rated a shoo-in.
 It will be a big night for Liz, win or lose. It's her first public outing since her near fatal ill., ness.
 She was nominated for Butter field B." Her competition is Greer Carson for Sunrise at Campo bello," Deborah Kerr for "The Sundowners," Shirley MacLaine for "The Apartment" and Melina Mercouri for the Greek-made "Never on Sunday"
 Should Lennon win for ''The Apartment" he will become the first actor ever to win both the supporting and top acting awards.
 Lennon won previously for MT. Roberts"
 Lancaster, the rousing sawdust revivalist of "Elmer Gantry," has never won an Oscar.

Planes Bomb Cuba's Air Force Headquarters
By Harold K. Milks

HAVANA LR - LoW-flying air planes made bombing and rocket attacks at dawn Saturday on air ports in Havana and Santiago and on Cuban air force head quarters in San Antonio De Los BanOS.
 The government radio accused the United States of 'direct re- sponsibility" and warned the Cuban people the attacks may be the ''prelude to an invasion"
 It appeared the Cuban Air Force itself was involved in the attacks. Two Cuban Air Force B-26 bombers landed in Southern Florida a few hours after the bombings and their creWmen asked for asylum.
 One Air Force officer landed a bullet-riddled B-26 at Miami International Airport. The planes bomb racks were empty and one of it's two engines out of commits sion. Two Cubans landed the other B-26 at Boca Chica Naval Air Station in Key West.
 Prime Minister Fidel Castro's government radio said Cuba's delegation to the United Nations in New York has been instructed to lodge a protest blaming the United States for the attacks.
 The invasion-jittery Castr regime immediately ordered all soldiers and militiamen to their posts.
 Some of the attacking planes were described as World War II B-26s.

 Ire Unable to Read

NEW YORK lR - Ten thou sand seventh graders in New York City's public school system can't read third-grade books. And ST. o67 of 172,000 junior high school pupils are more than two years behind in reading.

 Theobold declared i've have only two alternatives: Either you give us the money we need or we go back to 100 per cent pro- motion and say, to hell with ed ucation, we don't need it.

MOSCOW LR = Mai. Yuri Gagarin held his first news con- ference Saturday and dodged the questions of the world press al- most as artfully as he orbited the earth. Nothing he said helped to clear up questions which have arisen about his space flight We'd nesday.

Cagarin Dodges Reporters Questions Most ArtfuIly on His Orbit of the Earth

the worlds first successful aStro- naut tell of his 108-minute flight in outer space.
 Gagarin did not answer ques- tions directly from the floor dur ing the tWo-hour conference. He read a prepared statement and then made his replies to a series of written questions he said had been handed up in advance.
 With a confident smile on his lips, Gagarin opened the ques- tion period by saying many in- quiries had been received about his descent and return to the earth. With an adroitness worthy of a politician, he Jumped them together and gave this answer:
 Many techniques for landing have been developed in our cOun- try. One is the parachute techni- que. On this flight we employed the following: The pilot was in the cabin, the landing proceeded successfully and demonstrated the success of all systems developed for this flight"
 That was all he would say on the subject and did nothing to clarify a statement Friday by Russian scientist that Gagarin "came down smoothly in glide near field, landing on both feet, even without tumbling."
 As for the fate Of his vehicle, Gagarin would only say: "The entire space ship and it's parts can be used again"
 The question of whether he could see out of the space ship also came up. Gagarin said it definitely had a porthole, thus contradicting A. A. Blagonravov, a leading Soviet space scientist who told an International Space meeting in Florence, Italy, that Gagarin had seen by radio" - presumably meaning television ol
 some other electronic scanning device.
 Another question left unan- swered concerned flight times given earlier by Tass, the Soviet News Agency said Gagarin took only Is minutes of his 108-minute flight to travel from Siberia to South America, but 53 minutes to travel the next leg from South America to Africa.
 Gagarin was asked when photo graphs of the trip would be avail able. There was no photographic apparatus aboard so none can be published" he said.

Ii Took l9o Years

HARRISBURG, Pa. R - After 19O years it became legal Friday to sell oysters in Pennsylvania in months without the letter "R."
 Gov. David Lawrence signed legislation repeating the 1771 act invoking the prohibition.
 The real purpose of the law, legislators said, was not a super stition about months without the letter "R" but rather the made quatc refrigeration of the times which made the oysters subject to spoilage.

Mrs. RooseveIt's
Remark on China
Is Repudioted

TAIPEI. Formosa, Mar. Is
(AP). - Chang Kai shek's
spokesman said today the Ken
nedy administration has given
assurance it does not share
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt'S
view on Nationalist China's
position in the United Nations.
Mrs. Roosevelt said in a
speech last week, The vote
in the last session of the Gen.
eral Assembly points to the
fact that we would not be able
much longer to keep up the
fiction that Nationalist China
represents the whole of China. !"
Mrs. Roosevelt is a member
Of the United States delegation
to the United Nations, and her
remarks aroused anger on this
island, which is the seat of
Generalissimo Chiang's Nation
alist government.
She later explained that she
was not taking a stand but
merely commenting on the gen.
eral feeling in the United Ma
lions. She said anyone could
come to the same conclusion
"by looking at the vote"
James C. H. Shen, informa-
ton director for the Nation
alist Foreign Minister, said the
State Department had told the
Chinese Embassy in Washing
ton in response to an inquiry:
Mrs. Roosevelt's statement
in no way represents the view
Of the United States Govern
Lment."
