Cuban Gamble
 Cost the Krenlin One Billion Doll ars
WASHINGTON tY

WASHINGTON tR = The edu- cated guess in this capital is that Russia invested something more than the equivalent of a billion American dollars in the Cuban gamble which didn't pay off.
 On the other hand. preliminary calculations-Which officials agree are very rough and made while the duration of the crisis was uncertain-is that this country's cost might run about S100 million. This would be expenditure beyond the normal operating and main tenance costs of the Navy, Air Force and Army.
 This estimate eoneeivably could be boosted as detailed tally is made of the vast scope of deploy ment and operation by ships, planes, men and weapons.
 As an example. President Ken nedy was told Friday at headquar- ters of the Strategic Air Command in Omaha that SAC planes flew 20 million miles during the month in which a massive airborne alert was maintained
 The estimate of a S1-billion cost to Russia is based essentially on the installation of Russian "hard- ware" and personnel in Cuba, without including such items as shipping costs and associated fac tors.
 Included in equipment sent to Cuba were some of Russia's most modern weapons. Among them is the SA-2 anti-aircraft missile. Some U. experts believe that high-reaching missile is at least equal in performance to the United States Nike-Hereules missile.

Spectacular Hangover
SEATTLE R

SEATTLE R - The most spec tacular hangover of the year hit the Seattle waterfront Friday.
 The victim was really loaded you might say tanked up. And the hangover was managed entirely on water.
 The victim, in this case, was an 8,00O-gallon rail tank car. Its hang over actually occurred not long after midnight at the Pier 16 rail- barge terminal.
 The tanker was one of l2 rail- cars being loaded aboard the barge Griffco when it was derailed. The car, loaded with liquid caustic for the pulp mill at Sitka, was left half over the edge of the barge. 1 It couldn't be hauled aboard.
 The waterfront became aware of the accident when the tug Tar tar pushed the Griffco across FL liott Bay toward the big derrick at Pier 90. The tankcar still dangled over the edge of the barge
 The tankear was dashed down with heavy chains, and she rode out the voyage without further casualty.

Pope John Recesses Ecumenical Council Until September 8

VATICAN CITY R-Pope John XXIII, strained by illness but opti- mistic for the future, recessed the Roman Catholic Ecumenical Coun- cil Saturday and announced his hope it would conclude in a year.
 He looked back over the coun. els first two months as "a gooc beginning" He also looked to the future and said he was consoled by anticipation of benefits for Christian unity.
 The 81-year-old Roman Catholic ruler spoke for 9 minutes to the council fathers in St. Peters for the ceremonial closing of the first phase of their assembly.
 It was new demonstration of the Pope's recovery from serious illness. He walked unaided, and left unaided. He sat on throne while he spoke. His voice gained power midway through his speech, but became hoarse toward the end.
 Later, he appeared at his ap- partment window overlooking St. Peters Square and recited the noon Angelus Prayer A crowd of about 30,00O, including hundreds of purple-robed bishops, knelt in the square.
 Many of the 2,200 council fathers planned to be on their way home within hours. Ahead of them was nlne-month recess ending Sept. 8. But it will not be rest.
 Tn the coming months, the Pope said, "the work will go on unflaggingly. A heavy responsi- blllty rests upon our shoulders, but God himself will sustain us on the way

 Santa will reverse direction be cause in this case the toys ane other things are being provided by women of the Church of the Holy Name here, a project at Yuletide each year.
 Last year large cartons of toys and clothing put aboard St. Nick's plane cost more than $50 to trans port.
 There are 168 grade school chil- dren and AZ high school students at the mission who will receive presents as result of Ketchi- kan's and Santa's annual Christ mas-lift."
 Waiting to receive the gifts with the children will be Brother Robert Benish SJ., brother of Mrs. Jack Thompson of Ketchikan, and Brother Gerald O'Malley S.J., who once served as an enlisted man at the Coast Guard base here and still is widely remembered in that capacity.

Nobel Prizes Are Awarded In Stockholm

STOCKHOLM, Sweden R - Five scientists = four Britons and an American who have pried open the door to life's innermost secrets received the 1862 Nobel prize of Gold and Honor today. A sixth scientist got his prize TOO miles away in Moscow hospital room.
 The Cambridge clan took the lions share of awards this year. The venerable British university, at which three of the Britons and the American did their important research work, this year shut out the usually dominant California institutions.
 But California had it's great moment at the traditionally glitter ing ceremony, where Sweden s King Gustaf VI Adolf, just turn cd 30, distributed the awards for the 18th time.
 John Steinbeck, California's au- thor, went forward to receive the literature prize, q diploma, a medal and a check for S49,656.
 Sharing the prizes in medicine were Cambridge researchers Drs. Maurice Wilkins and Francis Criek, together with this years youngest laureate, 34 . year old James Watson of Harvard Uni versity, Cambridge. Mass. Watson also worked in England on the revolutionary discovery of the vital nucleic acid molecules called DINA which direct the pattern of animal life.
 pr. John CoWdery Kendrew and Dr. Max Ferdinand Perutz, bio- chemists working at Cambridge, England, shared the chemistry prizes for their work on mystify- ing elements in human blood and muscles of certain animals, such as whales and seals.
 Soviet scientist Lev Landau was presented the prize for physics in Moscow hospital, where he is recovering from injuries suffer- ed in an automobile accident that left him in coma for months.

Alaska's Biggest
 Civil Suit Filed Against Ketchikan Flying Service

kETCHIKAN R - A civil suit seeking S333,l6l in damage against Ketchihan flying service was filed Friday afternoon in Su- perlor Court here. Attorneys said they believed the case to be the largest of it's kind evere instituted in Alaska. -
 The complaint was filed in behalf of Mrs. Edward Olsen, administra- 1flS Tn the estate of Dan Olsen, her son who died with three others in a plane crash near here last August.
 Webber Air, Inc, of Ketehikan was named defendant.
 Going 10 their deaths in the tragedy with Olsen were two of hls friends, Don Stenford and Joe Diamond, and the pilot. Carl Manzoni, who was also vice president of the flying service. All were from =Ketehikan.
 Olsen and his friends were bound on q goat-spotting expedition when tfe mishap occurred No public ex- planation as to the cause of the accident has been made although fAA people investigated when the Wreckage was discovered sev- eral days after the accident occur red.
 There were eight causes of ac- tlon listed in Mrs. Olsen's con- plaint.. One charged that the acci- dent was caused by carelessness and negligence.

France have gone ahead of
Sweden in producing atomic
weapons.
However, the early Swedish
atomic lead did not entirely dis
appear.
Swedish universities have
trained a whole new crop of nu-
clear scientists and technicians,
now employed. by the Swedish
electrical and electronic indus
tries. Thanks to those, Sweden is
in the forefront-right after this
country and England-in the de-
velopment of atomic power sta
tions. The latest one to be built
is the Agesta power station which
will generate $4,000 kilowatts of
electric current when it goes on

Macao Haven for Anti-Reds

1857, for example, the Communists
were successful in persuading the
local governor that a celebration
marking Macao's 400th anniversary
be cancelled.
High Commissioner
Strangely enough, there is
Nationalist Chinese diplomatic
commission stationed in Macao
without High Commissioner.
After a Communist protest two
years ago, the Portuguese authori-
ties advised" the Nationalist to
recall permanently the High Com
missioner. This left only a secre-
tary to take care of routine bust
ness.
But there are significant diff
ferenceS between Goa's former re-
lationship to India and Macao's
connection with China. For one
thing, there does not seem to have
been a treaty between Lisbon and
New Delhi regarding Goa. But
under an accord signed in 1887,
China formally recognized Portu-
guese sovereign rights in Macao,
and the Communist Government
has so far not shown any signs
of revoking the agreement.
Far more important, however,
is Macao's economic and social
value to China. Unlike Hongkong,
whose British authorities stiffly
control immigration, this con-
venient place is an ideal dumping
ground for unwanted people. There
the Communist Chinese send their
aged and infirm, and, recently, in
an effort to relieve congestion in
the neighboring Canton, hundreds
of hungry people have been ar
irving in Macao by bus and river
boat.
Macao is also a useful channel
through which desperately-needed
hard currency flows into Com
munist China. In the form of re-
mittances from overseas Chinese
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-02-11

to their impoverished relatives on
the mainland, it travels via Ma
cao'S efficient, discreet banks.
Macao is also steady customer
for Chinese merchandise, mostly
textiles, rice and firewood. It i'm
ports every year about $40 million
worth of Chinese goods with pay
ment in hard currency. This
Peking uses to buy industrial
equipment, grain or other COM
moditieS in Europe.
Monte Carlo of Orient
These factors make Macao's
future secure, at least for the time
being. And apart from trade sta
tistics and remittance figures,
there is ample confidence dis
played in current plans to awaken
this somnolent place into a
Monte Carlo of the Orient"
Last month the Portuguese Ad-
ministration announced that it

guaranteed to pay some $500 900
per year in taxes and build a
new hotel and a new casino. The
winner was pro-Nationalist
Hongkong business man, Stanley
Ho. Apart from fulfilling the
Government requirements, he
promised also to build schools,
hospitals and sewers and to dredge
the harbor.
Thus was broken the gambling
monopoly which, for "a years, was
held by pro-communiSt syndi-
cate whose lucrative tentacles
spread into variety of other
oriental pastimes.
Against subtle tactics of
the Portuguese Administration, to
hold off the Communist Chinese.
Peking has become alert. Because

NEW DELHI.-On a recent
Monday 43 refugees from the
Communist Chinese mainland
were chased by a Peking gunboat
but managed to reach the Portu-
guese Island of Taipa, just off
Macao. They had sailed about 20
miles from Siulam, west of the
Portuguese. colony.
This was not an isolated in
cident. Since last December, when
about 700 Chinese fled from the
mainland to Macao, escapes have
been landing there every day. The
weekly rate is between 200 and
$50.
Macao, the Goa of China, the
ancient Portuguese colony at the
southern tip of the Chinese main
land, has become a haven for peo-
pie running away from communist
terror. About 100000 out of the
total population of 100000 of this

out shelter, without job, and with
out much hope. But they still
prefer these hardships to the
rigors of the communes on the
mainland.
Macao has, thus, become a big,
pointing thorn in Peking's political
flesh.
Some political pundits suggest
that perhaps Communist China,
following Mr.. Nehru's example,
might swallow up this 16-Square-
mile peninsula. There is, of course,
enough past evidence to indulge
in such conjectures.
More than two decades ago,
Mao TSe-tung asserted to an
American journalist that Macao
rightfully belonged to China. In
recent years, the Picking regime,
through it's thinly- disguised agents
there, has tried to influence the
Portuguese Administration. In

scientific community that we can
establish"
The spreading controversy in
the scientific community was
foreshadowed by difference of
opinion at the very top of the
scientific ladder last summer.
It developed over a series
written by DR.. Libby for the As
ISOLATED Press in which he con-
tended that go to 95 per cent of
us could survive with proper pro-
lection"
That assertion was called Tex
tremely dangerous" by DR.. James
Van Allen, discoverer Of the radia-
ton belts circling the earth that
bear his name, and seven other
physicists at the State University
of Iowa.
Reach Opposite Conclusions
To imply that the average citi-
zen could survive nuclear attack,
said Van Allen and his associ-
ates, "gives a false sense of Sc
curity. The percentage wise small
margin of safety gained in no
way detracts from the very real
possibility that an atomic war will
mean the end of the civilization
of both opponents"
Different scientists, equally dis
tinguished, appear to have
reached Numerically opposite
conclusions from the same avail
able data. Who, then, is right?
Which is the better advice? That
found in the Government PAM
phlet or that outlined in the open
letter to the President?
Scientists have become so
emotionally involved in these is
Sues" says Civil Defense Director
Pittman, that it's hard to get
objective scientific opinion. In
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-02-11

some fields, like medicine and BIZ
ology, scientists are extremely
cautious about making public
statements. Here caution seems
to be lacking. The result is that
most scientists speak out on the
subject with a great deal of au-
thority, which leads to public con-
fusion"
Both Pittman and Frank Ellis,
who has been director Of the Of
flee of Emergency Planning, re-
ject the major thesis of the open
letter writer's that shelters de-
Jude people into thinking they
could survive an atomic attack
and thereby could coax either
Russia or the United States into
starting nuclear war.
II just don't think their posi-
ton makes any sense" says Pitt
man. Il don't know what there
is about the makeup of the intel
lectual that makes him focus on
the obscure to the complete dis
regard of the obvious. That's
what has happened here,
Reilly Point for Frightened.
AS Mr.. Pittman sees it, the
whole shelter issue has become
"a rallying point for people who
are frightened or frustrated at
the turn Of world events. They
tend to sit above the battle and
blame everyone who exercises
power"
Mr.. Ellis was long one of the
most outspoken advocates of a
shelter program.
Rejecting the contention that
shelters do not shelter, he says
that ian attack on this country
would not be an attack of exter-
mination. There would be whole
areas that would not be dam
aged at all. It's the people in
