The Bureau of Engraving

over the abandoned Fourteenth
street streetcar tunnel to be
sure it's buildings are protected
from break-ins.
The bureau said it needs
| jurisdiction over the under
ground streetcar terminal in
order to provide maximum
security for it's operations.
A request for the tunnel has
been made to the Commission
ers by H. j. Holtzclaw, bureau
director, it was reported yes
terday.
| Mr.. Holtzclaw told the Com
missioners the abandoned tun-
mel, without tight protection,
would pose a serious criminal
threat to its buildings and en-
ployeS.
The bureau also would like
to have the tunnel next to its
buildings for parking, Mr..
Holtzclaw said.

Rejects Suggestion
Col. Glenn rejected a sug-
gestion that the bad weather
which Cancelled the January q
shot was "a blessing in dis
guise" in view of serious trouble
subsequently discovered in the
Atlas. This would not have
caused us any trouble (if the
launching had been carried out
Saturday." Col. Glenn said.
Dressed in a sport shirt, white
car coat and blue Stacks, Col.
Glenn came out on the front
porch of his home with his wife
and two children, John David
16, and Carolyn. IA.
Surveying both the crowd of
newsmen and the snow on the
ground, Col. Glenn said, THE
best statement I could make
at this time is that Hangar S
is not such a bad place after
ALL"
Hangar S is the building at
Cape Canaveral where the as
tronauts occupy secluded quar-
tiers in the days preceding a
launch! The weather there has
been warm and pleasant in re-
cent weeks.

Time is running out on the
McVey bill.
The Administration has re-
manned silent, ignoring a
groundswell of public approval
and the voice of the turtle is
heard in the land.
Spring on Capitol Hill brings
a gathering Of shorts-small
shorts, large shorts, incredible
shorts, tremendous shorts. The
McVey bill would have pre-
vented all that.
But the McVey bill is appar-
emily stuck, mySteriously, in the

And the shorts are headed this
way.
The author of the legislation,

New Lives in

They leave Cuba with a max
imum of 5 pesos (about so
cents in their pockets and
virtually all their property
confiScated, even down to a
baby's earring-but they con-
slider themselves blessed.
These are the refugees from
Castro's Cuba, an estimated
700 to 1000 of whom are now
living in Washington. During
the past three years, according
to the best figures available,
they have about doubled the
size of the Cuban-born and
Cuban alien community here.
More than 300, at least, came
in the past IL months. They
are still coming here at an
estimated rate of 10 families
a week.
The Cuban refugees who
came to Washington cor merely

Immediately after CaStro's rise
to power were chiefly those
closely connected with the Ba-
tiSta regime.
The second wave of refugee
immigrants began around the
start of 1860. Many of these
were originally Castro support
ers. They turned against Fidel,
they said, when the Communist
take-over of the revolutionary
government became apparent.
Like many in America, they
were fooled by Castro's early
assertions that he was not a
Communist and that the gov
eminent was not Communist.
The refugees are chiefly pro-
fessional people, businessmen
and white-collar workers. Here,

Kennedy Cuts Off
Trade With Cuba
Castro Dealt
Major Blow
By Embargo
By EARL III. VOSS
Star Staff Writer

President Kennedy struck
again yesterday at Fidel Cas-
tro's Cuba by ordering a COM
plete shutdown of American
imports and all exports except
food and medicine. The en-
barge goes into effect Wednes-
day.
Cuba last year earned about
500 million in foreign ex-
change, $35 million from sales
to the United States. Ninety
per cent of the purchases were
tobacco for the Tampa (Fla)
cigar industry.
United States officials cal
Iculate the move will reduce by
more than one-third the for
eign-exchange resources avail
able to Premier Castro for ex-
porting his brand of Commu-,
mist revolution to other Latin
American nations.
THE loss of this income" a
White House announcement
said yesterday, will reduce the
capacity of the Castro regime,
intimately linked with the Sino-
Soviet bloc, to engage in acts of
aggression, subversion or other
activities endangering the Sc
curity of the United States and
other nations of the hemi-
sphere.
Money For Red Propaganda
American officials report Mr..
Castro has been using his dwin-
ding dollar supply to finance
propaganda, diplomatic opera
tions in Latin America, and
visits to Cuba for Latin SYM
pathizers.
Ending United States pur-
chases of Cuban tobacco leaf,
Holsters, fruit and vegetables
will seriously impair the Castro
governments ability to con-
tinue its subversion activities,
officials say.
President Kennedy said he
was taking the action in &C
cordance with decisions of the
hemisphere foreign ministers
conference in Punta del Este.
Secretary of State Rusk re-
turned Thursday from the r.
day meeting.
Fourteen of the 81 nations
voted to GUST Cuba from the
Organization of Am lean
States. All declared the Cuban
government incompatible with
the inter-American system.
5000 Tampa Jobs Affected
White House Press Secretary
Pierre Salinger said Secretary
of Labor Goldberg will immedi-
ately make available all aid
possible to the 5000 or 1000
workers in the Tampa cigar
industry who may be affected
by the clampdown on tobacco
leaf purchases.
Manufacturers have claimed
they could not obtain a salts
factory substitute for the
Cuban leaf.
In pre-Castro days Cuban
American trade amounted to
about $500 million each way.

Glenn Sees No Jinx in 18th

Roaring off into space on
the "unlucky 18th" holds no
terrors for 1t. Col. John H.
Glenn, jr.
In fact, the 40-year-old Ma
rine Corps test pilot said yes
terday, the scheduled launch
ing date of February Is can
only bode good" for his orbital
ride in a Mercury space cap
sule.
Col. Glenn was home over
the week end after a launching
scheduled for last Thursday
was postponed at least until
a week from this Tuesday be-
cause of trouble in the Atlas
launching vehicle.
After a morning press con-
ference Col. Glenn went shop
ping with his wife, wandering
virtually unnoticed through the
Seven Corners Shopping Cen
ter in Falls Church.
The couple, accompanied by
their daughter, Carolyn, visited
a drug store where one man
recognized the astronaut and
went up and shook his hand.
Other shoppers paid no atten-
ton.
Meeting reporters on the
porch of his home at 1888 North
Harrison street in Arlington
the astronaut said work at
Cape Canaveral, Fla, is still
aimed at the February 13
target date, but he added that
1--WE are going only after we
are good and ready"
Reports have persisted that
the trouble in the Atlas is so
serious that the booster may
have to be replaced. This
would take about six weeks

delaying the launching attempt
until mid-March.
Col. Glenn said that when
he returns to the Cape, his al
ternate pilot, Navy 1t. Comdr
Malcolm Scott Carpenter, will
probably take a few days off.
Comdr. Carpenter, So, has been
hard at work at the Cape
ever since the last postpone
ment was announced last Tues
day, Col. Glenn said.
Il have been back-up pilot
and I know what is involved"
Col. Glenn said, referring to
his stint in support of Astro-
naut Alan B. Sheppard, jr.,
last May. I'D certainly appre-
ciate your giving any credit you
can to Scott"
Col. Glenn said much of the
news coverage of the Mercury
program has centered on the
personal lives of those con-
cerned-"like whether Annie
MRS. GLENN is having her hair
done"
THE news people on occa-
sion have missed the purpose
of our program, he said. I'VE
are out for a hard, cold scien-
tific program. We hope what
we are doing will help chart
what is done in the future"
Hopes to Participate
The astronaut said he hoped
to take part in more advanced
space programs like Gemini
1.-TWO men in orbit and Apollo
(three men in space leading
eventually to lun ar landings.
But for the present, he said,
plans would have to be indef-
mite while Project Mercury is
carried out.
Col. Glenn refused comment
on a statement carried by the
Soviet news agency TaSS that
the launching attempt of jan
uary 81 was Cancelled 20 min
utes before the scheduled firing
because of fear of failure"
He was asked whether he
was as tired that day after five
hours in the Mercury capsule
as some photographs made him
appear to be. Apparently re-
ferring to a picture carried by
many newspapers, including last
Sundays Star, the astronaut
said:

at Punta del Este, Mr.. Frondizi
said the death of these princi-
piles would turn the hemi-
sphere over to 1.-The law of the

Mr.. Frondizi spoke out in an
address at Parana at a time
when he appeared to have set
tied a crisis with his armed
forces chiefs. Angered by Ar
gentina's so-called soft stand
at the hemisphere's foreign
ministers meeting, they had
demanded he break relations
with Communist Cuba.

Mr.. Frondizi then summoned
home Ambassador Julio Amoedo
from Havana and a communi-
que indicated that Argentina
would vote to GUST Cuba from
the Organization of American
States when the issue came
before the groups council meet

Mr.. Frondizi's defiant de-
tense of the Argentine stand
at Punta del Este could set
the crisis boiling again.
Government sources said,
however, the speech did not
mean that Frondizi had gone
back on his pledge last night

custer from inter-American
agencies.

Tawes Budget
Expected toHit
$3.50 Million
Assembly Scheduled
To Act as Session
Opens Wednesday
BY PAUL HOPE
Star Staff Writer

A State budget Of approx
mately $3.50 million is expected
to be presented by Gov. Tawes
when the Maryland General
Assembly convenes Wednesday
for its 30-day session.
The part of the budget which
means the most to taxpayers
pocketbooks-the general fund
spending, which is financed
mainly with income and sales
taxes-probably will be around
$270 million. This is a jump of
$40 million over the current
year.
State sources said there will
be no new major spending pro-
grams this year. The budget
increase reflects the increased
cost of maintaining present
services for an expanding pop
ulation.
Some adjustments will be
made in salaries for State en-
ployes although no across-the-
board increase is expected. The
Governor also has said he will
increase faculty salaries at all
the State institutions of higher
learning, but he is not expect
. ed to recommend any increase
in the State minimum scale for
elementary and high school
teachers.
Surplus to Aid
The Governor will dip heav-
lily into surplus funds to bal
ance his proposed budget for
fiscal 1923. In addition to a
rainy day" fund of $12 mil
lion which the Governor and
General Assembly sailed away
two years ago, there is expected
to be a surplus from this years
operations of about SO million.
Sources said the Governor
will retain about Sc million of
the SURPRISES to help balance
the 1854 budget.
There will be no recon-
mendations from the Governor
for any tax increases, nor will
there be any for tax reductions.
Gov. TaweS said several
weeks ago that he hoped some
minor reductions could be
made in the sales tax, but he
ruled this out at press con-
ference last week.
Opens Wednesday
The General Assembly ses-
sion will get under way at 2
pm. Wednesday. At party eau
cuses before the session, the
Democrats and Republicans
will name presiding officers
and floor leaders.
House Speaker Perry o. Will
kinson, Democrat OF Prince
Georges and Senate President
George w. Della, Democrat of
Baltimore City, are expected to
be renamed.
Senator James A. Pine, Dem
ocrat of Baltimore County. re-
portedly is in line to replace
Edward S. Northrop as ma
iority floor leader in the Senate.
Mr.. Northrop resigned to be-
come a Federal judge.
Although House Democratic
Floor Leader A. Gordon Boone,
of Baltimore County, was the
target of considerable criticism
last year, there has been no
move to replace him.
The small band of Republic
cans, seven in the House and
three in the Senate, probably
will rename their floor leaders,
Senator Harry Phoebus OF
Somerset, and Delegate Lester
Reed of Allegany.
Racial Test Due
Several issues will produce
king-size controversies.
Gov. Tawes has put enact
ment of a bill to bar racial
discrimination in hotels anc
restaurants on his list of top
priority measures. There will
be strong opposition to this
from the Eastern Shore anc
some other rural areas.
