Olympic Series

Branda BenneSen, the versatile
athlete in various sports, and FL
roy Muller emerged as tops indi-
vidual scorers during the tough
competition that highlighted the
st. Croix Track and Field Revival
Meet held on Veterans Day at the
Christiansted High School play
ground, organized in coordination
by the v. l. Sports Promotion
Staff and the Bureau of Recrea-
ton, under the auspices of the
Department of Education.
Miss Bennesen, who organized
and managed the TWinklets Girls
Team for this meet was in fact the
brightest star of the all day acti-
vity. She won the 50-meter dashes
also the broad jump, and in all
three events battered the records
set in st. Thomas on Labor Day.
Branda was also responsible for
her teams victory in the 200-me-
ter Relays, when as anchor-girl,
came from behind to noseout her
rival. She scored 1912 points, won
four medals and a trophy.
Muller scored 17-R points by
by winning the broad jump; tied
for first in the high jump; was 4th
in 100 meters and helped his team
(Spartans) win the 1,600-meter
Relays and place second in the
4OO-meter Relays.
Ironically, the performance of
these top scorers could not pro-
duce final victories for their res
pective teams. In the girls divi-
sion the Jets Girls (managed by
Floyd Henderson, edged the Twin
klets A to 80. The Marlin Girls
(Irom trederlksted placed third
with thirty. Unfortunately not all
of the Marlin Girls shoWedup fol
eliminations, and Glenda East
man, who was second best scorer
(16) had the weight of response
bility on her shoulders.
The champion team in the
mems division was the Centipedes
with 80-k points to TIN the
Spartans, followed by Las Vegans
%, Martins Boys 20 and Trojans 8.
There were four girls records
that bettered the st. Thomians
(The track in ChriStiansted is a
faster one). Besides Brenda's three
records, the other came in the
high jump won by Glenda East
man, who jumped 4 Fl. 2 ms.
(Ada Williams of the Jets was
second with A feet / in. to tie the
st. Thomas mark. In the mems
division, Frank Jacons set a new
v. Z record in the $500 meter
run with 1897. Reuben Sargent
did similarly in the 400 meter
run 54.8, and Claudius Henry in
the shotput with 40 feet.

AGRICULTURE

In a May 1861 speech to
farmers, Prime Minister Cas-
tro ridiculed the idea that
farms would be collectivized.
He said: THE revolution would
never do such a foolish thing,
Although this is a socialist
revolution, the land will not
be socialized. If a farmer
prefers to keep his bit of land,
then the revolution will never
| try to socialize it,"
An agrarian reform law o
year before had broken up bie
holdings for distribution. Peas
ants, in order to make any
economic sense Of their pro-
duction, had to form co-opera-
tives, especially in such fields
as sugar, coffee, rice and cattle
raising. The number Of CO.
operatives grew to 622.
As late as two months ago,
Mr.. Castro repeated the pledge
against collectivization. Then
he changed his mind-or it was
changed for him.
Last month. he told q sugar

thousands of youngsters back to school.

fully-a far cry from their sometimes -one-room
ancestors of the 'Dear Old Golden Rule Days."
Latest innovations in lighting intensities and
designs have resulted in higher illumination
levels, elimination of shadows for greater visual
comfort, and minimum glare from desks, books,
papers, and chalkboards.

of the revolution. Nor was the
co-operatives' idea practical,
either. The answer had to be

Soviet state farm idea in which
the government owns the land
and the peasant becomes a
sort of farm-factory worker.
There were already 800 peoples
farms" Mr.. Castro indicated
the regime would collectivize
all the co-operatives so that, in
his words, the farmer would be
@ real proletarian and get rid
Of his instructive impulse to
own land.
As in other Communist lands,
production quotas are laid
down. Norms are set for cattle
and livestock reproduction, and
as in the other lands, the big
drawback is that the cattle
cannot read instructions. The
economy is prey to all the ills
that afflict other Communist
agriculture.

THE ECONOMY

Moscow owns the economy.
Fantastic numbers Of trucks,
jeeps and other vehicles pour
in from the Red bloc, each
batch making Cuba more de-
pendent upon Soviet petroleum
shipments.
Imports for 1862 from the
USSR include: Wheat flour,
cereal grains, edible oils,
canned, frozen and cured
meats, condensed milk, baby
foods, rice, butter. lard. peas,
canned fish, beans, potatoes,
fertilizers, rayon and other
textiles, superphoSphates,
trucks, jeeps, buses, tractors. a
petroleum tanker, rice harvest
ers, machine tools, power SHOW
els, graders, bulldozers, COM
pressors, rolled steel. tinplate,
steel pipes cast iron, cardboard,
raw materials for soap manu-
facture, cement, lubricants,
ammonium nitrate and even
containers for sugar.
Czechoslovakia is sending
textile yarns, artificial leather,
steel products, chemicals, glass,
foodstuffs. newsprint. buses,
tractors, trucks and tow-trllcks,
machinery and tools, Diesel
motors, electronic units. Red
China sends soybeanS, rice,
canned meat. medicines. Hun
gary, Romania. Bulgaria and
Poland send food. The bloc also
sends swarms Of technical as
sistantS.
Cuba's sugar goes to the bloc
in part payment. The sugar
industry. always the backbone
of the Cuban economy, is DOM
mated completely by the Soviet
bloc. Bloc equipment runs the
refineries.

doubt they intend to rule. Mr..
Roca holds q dominating posi-
ton in the ORR, although posts
in the secretariat have gone to
Mr.. Castro's bearded Commu-
nists Of the new" group.
Havana radio this spring ad-
mitted there had been a strug-
gle, calling it "a battle which
eliminated in the dismissal of
(AnibaD Escalante as secretary
Of the ORI." Mr.. Escalante;
an old line Communist, was
expendable to avoid outward
signs of internal conflict. He
is now in Eastern Europe.
The fight arose over Mr.. Cas-
tro's loud determination to be
more equal than his supposed
equals in the collective. The old
guard Communists have to live
with him, since to many Gu
bans and Latin Americans he
symbolizes national sovereign
ty. He is also the only man in
the regime who commands any
marked degree Of loyalty.
THE OUTLOOK
On the surface. Mr.. Castro
still does not appear to have
lost any of his authority, but
that is only a surface appear
ance. The old guard Reds
weave their power web care
fully, move slowly. The time is
approaching for the final phase
of development. When Mr..
Castro's presence is no longer
necessary, when he has taken
all the blame for Cuba's eco
nomic disaster, he can safely
be put aside, and that will be
managed by men responsible to
Moscow.
Right now, Bias Roca, Car
los Rodriguez and other old
guard Communists seem to be
spending much of their time
trying to outfox Mr.. Castro.
The bearded premier appears
to founder more and more in
a morass of mixed-up theology.
Is he being insidiuosly under
mined by the old guard? There
is much evidence to suggest
that he is, and he seems resent
full.
A month ago, Mr.. Castro ad-
dressed a congress of secondary
school students and found him
self embroiled in an incoherent
wrangle with his audience. Mr..
Castor had mentioned a revo-
lutionary song in his speech
and the students yelled de-
mands that he sing it. Mr.. Cas-
tro argued and cursed them
obscenely.
II don't know how to sing.
I won't sing. That is final E.
it's impossible to speak here"
He let out another string of
profanity. There were idiots"
around, in spite of the revolu-
tion, he shouted.
Screams and laughter greeted
his words. 1t was eight min
utes before the students could
be quieted and Mr.. Castor
could get on with a rambling,
sometimes incoherent talk. He
may have been drunk-or he
may have been confused and
angered by the pressure of
forces he did not fully under
stand, forces threatening him.
When Mr.. Castor finally is
showed aside it will be small
consolation for the United
States. It will mean Moscow's
domination is complete.

THE APPARATUS

In pre-revolutionary days
the Communists played ball
with the Batista regime, en-
trenched themselves in the
labor movement, and even
opposed the 26th of July Re-
volutionary Movement. After
the revolution, the Popular
Socialist (Communist) Party
was the only organized party
allowed to operate. 1t infiltrated
every department of the regime,
up to the highest positions.
A year ago Mr.. Castro an
nounced-it seemed a bit re-
luctantly - all revolutionary
organizations would be merged
into one, the ORR Qntegrated
Revolutionary Organizations }
This, he said, would eventually
become the united party Of
the socialist revolution. The
regime laid down plans for
complete control of the econ
omy and set up committees of
defense"-more than a half
million strong. That meant one
spy for every IL Cubans, man,
woman and child.
The Communists now let it
be known they regard the 26th
of July Movement as having
been "the national liberation"
phase. according to Khru-
shchev-era doctrine. The July
26th Movement is defunct. The
Communists hold that Cuba
has entered q new stage of
building socialism" The ORR,
for all practical purposes, al
ready is the single party. Or
ganization is going forward on
the time-tested pyramid-cell
basis, which assures central
control. When the united party
emerges formally. membership
will be limited to those who
fulfill feminist conditions.
There has been conflict be-
tween the willy old guard Com
muniSts and the so-called New
Communists" recruited from
Mr.. Castro's original followers.

the regime orders. AS in other
Communist countries, it does
not represent the labor force,
but the state. Workers are sub
jected to lectures. work disci-
pline, warnings about such
things as a formal bureau
cratic attitude" They are pun
ished for lateness or absentee
ism. Directors are punished for
failing to make quotas or for
distorting figures.
Cards were issued August Is
to all workers over 18. The in
formation about each worker
took up is pages. Fourteen
pages went into regime files.
The worker got the 18th as his
card. He cannot work without
it.
Before the Castro era, few
women in Cuba did heavy la
Dor. Now they - along with
workers, students and even
aged people - are dragooned
into socialist Sundays" They
are supposed to be volunteers
to save sugar crops. Women
also cut hay, pick coffee and
cotton and do other agricul-
tural labor.
Mr.. Castro announced a year
ago plans for a system Of cor
rective labor" for prisoners,
sounding much like the forced
labor Of other Red nations.
The regime constantly nags
workers about greater produc-
ton. There is even a board oi
