FideI Castro
 He's Hooked
By J. M. Roberts
Press Neoes Analyst

Fidel Castro, who has alWay professed to be so afraid of i'm perialisn, now finds himself jump ing through all the Soviet hoops
 He can't even sell a sack o1 sugar, buy sack of potatoes or possess what he calls an old, slow antiquated airplane if it doesn't suit the constantly shifting cur rents of Soviet policy.
 He's hooked.
 When Moscow wanted to turn Cuba into a Soviet political base, Fidel had to permit it, shattering the illusions of millions of people in Latin America and in the United States who were inclined to wish him well in his effort to replace a military dictatorship.
 When Moscow wanted to turn Cuba into a military base Castro had to welcome the unloading on his front porch of enough TINT to blow up the last small vestige of his reputation in Latin America.
 When Moscow wanted to pull the TINT out and run away from conformation with the United States which had proved unex- pectedly dangerous, Castro could only fume because neither the So- viet Union nor the United States had considered him even worth mentioning.
 When Moscow wanted to lie about who owned the bombers, Castro had to carry the burden of the lie and the danger that the United States would come and get them, and him along with them.
 When Moscow had to discard the lie, Castro was the one who first had to reverse himself, and admit the Soviet Union can do as she wishes in Cuba.
 It is somewhat remindful o1 the princes of history around w hose succession to variou. thrones the big powers used tt fight-except that the prince were innocent because of child i hood.
 Castro, of course, was neve truly afraid of US. imperialism He wasn't entirely uneducated. H, did have the example of some Americans who pursued unen. frightened tactics. But his chie1 need was an issue which could be used as Adolf Hitler used anti semitisn, and one was handy.
 That, however, was not his big mistake. A United States which was conscience stricken over the way it had let busted Cuban Pres ident Batista get away with mur- der wasn't going to do any more than protect its shins from the new urchin.
 But now that shin-kicking is being done under the direction o1 nation whose enmity the United States cannot ignore, someone is going to lose whole handfuls of fur Fine lob Printino Al The Nuqqe

49tl, State Seeks Capital Funds For Development
 By Sam Dawson

NEW YORK tR = Americans as well as foreigners are compet- ing today for the Yankee invest ment dollar.
 Perhaps the most competitive market of all just now is that in which lon9-term investment funds are sought. It is beset by the clam bring groups seeking the where Withal to develop the frontiers of which the world still has huge supply.
 There are lot more frontiers than there are dollars.
 This clamor is far from restrict ed 10 the new nations = the in- dustrially underdeveloped of which so much is heard
 Many American states and com munities have competed in recent years for the funds needed to turn once agricultural economies into industrial complexes. The pitches have ranged from new markets. tax concessions, cheaper labor, climate, superior resources.
 Some have been remarkably successful. Some localities haven't been able to sell their stories to the bankers and other investment sources = perhaps as much as anything because there just wasn't enough money to go around.
 And many of the most success ful. like fast-groWing California still hit the money markets regu- larly, both to build state facilities and to get new capital for grow ing industries or for newcomers linked to the space age.
 The 18th state also is seeking development capital today Alaskan government officials and business are in town to tout the resources just waiting for the midas touch of investment funds.
 Just now Alaska is out to in- terest New York bankers and other investment fund sources in a bono issue an SIS million program for the newly formed Alaska State Development Corp.
 And it's pitch goes far beyond just the underdeveloped resources of the northermost state Alaskans have their eyes focused far on the horizon, the role they see their state playing in developing the potentials of all the lands border ing on the Pacific.
 Some see a chance that the Pa cific lands, from Alaska to Aus tralia, some day might develop a trading bloc like the spectacular Common Market in Western Eu- rope.
 For the shorter term they'd like to develop Alaska's resources. The area once known primarily for its gold, now boasts big salmon and king crab industry growing oil and gas industry. It says its iron ore deposits could be develop cd, especially for the Japanese steel mills. Its forests offer hug' supplies of timber and pulp.
 And even closer at hand, en thusiasts say, is the opportunit, to turn Alaska into tourist paradise = well, in summer any way.

company opened a SeVen-per-
Torrance engagement on the
Loew's Capitol Theater stage
with its full-length, definitive
"Swan Lake" On their side of
the footlights the dancers
headed by Maya Plisetskaya
danced superbly and a VIP
Washington audience headed
by President and Mrs. Kennedy
applauded them thunderously.
1t was the first ballet per-
Torrance outside the White
House attended by the Presi-
dent since he got in the White
House. He left at the second
intermission, but before he did
so he went backstage to chat
briefly with the principal dane
ers in the Russian troupe.
If you'd like to know how
far-reaching the effects of cul-
tural exchange can be. Incl
dentally, Mr.. Kennedy was re-

who can get his wife to the

can do this can handle almost
anything.

It behooves everybody to be
at the theater on time, Of
course, when the Bolshoi is do
ing its Swan Lake." This is a
"Ben-Hur" sized ballet. with
four acts separated by three
intermissions, and it goes on
and on. There is, fortunately,
never a dull moment.
A couple of moments last
night, in fact, were almost too
exciting, due TO an apparent
slippery spot on the Capitol'S
stage, which hasn't known
dancers resin for some time.

tripped up PliSetskaya a cou-
pie of times. All it proved was
that she probably can fall
down as gracefully as Margot
Fonteyn did that time on an
other stage here, which is more
gracefully than a lot of dane
ers dance. But there was some |
tenseness in the audience ev-
cry time she neared the same
spot later, especially when
spinning with abandon.
Miss Plisetskaya is a dream
of a dancer in the Odette-
Odile role, one who must be at
her peak. Her magnificent con-
troll is a thing of beauty and
a JOY to watch. She never gets
into an awkward pose or makes
an ungraceful move. In fact,
she seems to flow rather than
move, buoyed up by the me-
lodic Tchaikowsky score.
She is an actress, too, as this
role lets her demonstrate. Her
Odette is fluid and lyrical. in
