License plates OF some sort have

since 1909. That was the year the
state decided on an official nose

hundreds OF motoring enthusiastic

materials.

nished by the state as they have
been since 1918. But color schemes
and dimensions through the years
have been anything but uniform
The present day tag measures
inches by IL inches. So do tags
issued by all the states including
Alaska and Hawaii. Canadian tags
are the same, too. But in earlier
Tar Heel motoring days, license
plates exhausted the spectrum Of
size and color. In the past they
have been white on blue, white OF

Who decides on color schemes
Ordinarily the Commissioner d

Scheidt, who was appointed to hi,
job in 1868, sticks to the present
orange-black combination for /
couple of undeniable good reasons
the paint is the cheapest to producs
and the combination creates maxi
mum legibility, according to labora
tory tests.
Scheidt, incidentally, since 1866
has had all Tar Heel tags stamped
with the familiar reminder "Drivt

Donovan, Castro
Talk Two Hours
On Prisoner Deal

HAVANA, Sept. 1 (AP).-
Attorney James B. Donovan
met Prime Minister Fidel Cas-
tro for two hours today and
said later his discussions were
progressing favorably" in an
attempt to obtain freedom for
1,100 Cuban invasion prisoners
Mr.. Donovan said he planned
to return alone to the United
States "for a brief consultation
on certain points," then come
back to Havana for more talks
He gave no dates.
Mr.. Donovan is the New York
lawyer who is credited with
winning freedom for United
States U-2 pilot Francis Gary
Powers in a swap for Soviet
spy Rudolph Abel. He arrived
in Havana Thursday and had a
four-hour talk with Mr.. Castro
yesterday.
Mr.. Donovan was accom-
panied in his talks with Mr..
Castro by Alvaro Sanchez, jr.,
chairman of the Cuban Fam
lilies Committee, and Ernesto
Freyre, secretary. Both are
headquartered in Miami, Fla.
Also present was Mrs. Berta
Barreto de los Heros, who acts
as the local liason for the
Prisoners Committee.

, President Kennedy said al
an August % news conference
that an increased number OF
Soviet technicians have reached
Cuba but that the United
States had no information
about Russian troops arrivals
there.
The reports shown by the
underground leader here said
that most of the soldiers who
landed at Nicaro now are con-
centrated at a base in Mayari
Arriba, about 30 miles north
west of Guantanamo.
Another large concentration
was reported stationed at San
Julian air base near Mariel,
the underground dispatches
said, adding that it appeared
rocket launching sites were un-
der construction there.
Soviet submarines were re-
ported in Ell Mariel harbor, the
messages said.
Since the landing, the mes
sages asserted, Russian jeep
patrols have been seen in Pinar
Del Rio province where the
Russians are said to be man
ming coastal defenSeS.
The reports also said two So
Wet non-commissioned officers
were killed in one of two jeep
accidents near Mariel.

unloaded various types of mill.
tary gear as well as economic
items. The military equipment
includes communications appa.
ratus apparently designed tt
strengthen Mr.. Castro's coastal
and air defenSes.
2. About 5000 Communist
bloc technicians also have ar
rived in Cuba. About 1000 OF
these are arms experts. Trained
Western observers in Cuba, as
opposed to comparatively un-
trained and unreliable Cuban
peasants, see no evidence OF
Soviet combat units.
3. The Soviet shipments have
included some small patrol
boats.
4. 1t has not yet been proved
that the Russians have supplied
surface-to-air missiles for the
anti-aircraft defenses. But this
seems likely sooner or later.
S. RuSSian-Supplied commu-
nications gear may be used at
some point to monitor United
States missile shots. But it is
unlikely that the Reds would
get into jamming or electronic
misguiding of American rocket
shots. This could start off
counterjamming of Russian
missiles by the West, and the
Soviets are vulnerable to this
type of retaliation.

5000 Soviet Troops
In Cuba, Agents Report

CARACAS. Venezuela, Sept
l (AP).-A Cuban underground
leader today produced written
reports he said came from
Havana agents claiming ar
estimated 5000 Russian troops
arrived in Cuba July 81 or
four Soviet ships.
The reports, shown to a re-
porter. were dated August IL.
The leader said they were de-
layed in transit.
The messages said half of
the troops landed at Mariel, a
port 30 miles west of Havana,
and the other half at Nicaro,
Bay OF Nipe, in Oriente Prov
ince. Nicaro is about SO miles
northwest of the United States
Navy base at Guantanamo Bay.
The Russian soldiers wore
green uniforms and carried
heavy packs and sub-machine
guns, the reports said. Trucks,
light artillery and anti-aircraft
weapons were unloaded, the
messages added.
Cuban exileS in the United
States also claim that thou
sands of Soviet troops have
landed in Cuba recently.

HopituI Nursery
Rules frightened

BALTIMORE, Sept. 1.-The
Maryland Board of Health and
Mental Hygiene has adopted
stricter regulations for pro-
cessing baby formulas in hos
pital nurseries.
The frightened rules were
aimed at preventing duplica-
tion of an incident last March
in Binghampton, N. Y, in
which six infants died. They in
advertently were given salt in
their milk formulas instead of
sugar.
The regulations adopted Fri
day specify that only materials
used in preparation of formulas
can be stored in formula rooms.
They require also that all ma
terials be delivered to the for
mula room in their original
containers and that they must
be clearly labeled.

Talks Resume
In Rail Strike

CHICAGO, Sept. / (AP).-A
government mediator, striving
for a Labor Day weekend set
tlement of the telegraphers
strike on the 10.600-mile Chi
cago and North Western Rail-
way, got both sides into ne
gotiations today and reported
the talks are proceeding on a
friendly basis.
The mediator, Francis A,
O'Neill. jr. Of the National Me-
diation Board, said no great
progress was made at today's
session but that both sides had
agreed to resume negotiations
tomorrow afternoon.
Mr.. O'Neill said recommends
tions made in April by a pres
idential emergency board set ur
to study the controversy were
the chief point of discussion
today. The board recommended
that the Telegraphers Union
withdraw its demand that
telegraphers jobs be frozen at
the 1857 level but that the rail-
roads should adopt a COM
prehensive program of protec-
ton for displaced workers.
The stoppage came Thursday
morning when 1000 members
of the Telegraphers Union left
their jobs to back their four
year campaign to stem elimi-
nation of telegrapher jobs in
a railroad modernization and
economy program.
Most of the carriers $500
other employees refused to cross
the telegraphers' picket lines.

her to death as she sat on
the stoop of the boarding
house.
Three other persons in and
about the boarding house we're

Igo into that" said Admiral
Robert L. Dennison, Atlantic
Fleet commander in chief. The
press conference was in Ad-
mirsl Dennison's office.
The only comment the crew
made here on the circum-
stances of the shooting was
that the weather was good.
1t. Fitzgerald, who stayed
overnight in Norfolk with Chief
Pickett. called his wife in Min
neapolis before she had heard
of the attack.
"I just said, Don't be sur
prised if you hear something

right" he said.

graduate of the Georgetown
University Law School, he will
