TEENS TALK
By Ronald samuels

1t seems as though the start Of
school is also the start Of the
party season and the NAACP
youth shindig was no exception.
Friday the thirteenth was the date
of the party given at the home Of
Billy Nash. The admission was a
penny for every inch around your
waist.
The money was for the NAACP.
Brad Norman said that possibly
there will be more parties given
by the NAACP youth for the pur-
pose of raising money.
Il thought that the party was
O.K.w was the answer received
when asked what the kids
thought Of 1t. I feel the same way
personally. Nothing out Of the
ordinary happened. The party was
the ordinary type with low lights
and good music. There was a very
good size crowd Of people attend
ing.

MOVIES
Kiss Of the Vampire" Is now
showing at the Lyric Theatre in
down town Minneapolis. Don't get
the impression that 1t is a normal
"scary picture" because 1t isn't. 1t
is a good down to earth drama
with love, compassion as well as
creepy Vampires. The girls should
entov this as much as the fellows
because Of the plot. The plot
thickens and thickens to a very
explosive ending.
However I say that the boys will
enjoy the Climax, much more than
the girls will. I do suggest that
you go see Kiss OF The Vampire"
to understand what I mean by an
explosive ending for men only.

 Jerry Livers, "A, Napa, Calif., who was at the helm, said the boat Tipped Sunday night, turned around in the air and then dropped so hard 'it felt like we had hit bottom or a rock or something; everything in the cabin flew loose"
 He suffered broken toe when fire extinguisher fell on it.

Thick Cocoon of .Lethargy Settles
 Over CastrO's Cuba

Editors Note: This story Is
 by a Canadian press reporter
 who has paid two recent visits
 to Havana after being away for
 two years.
 By Jack Best
 HAVANA LY - It may be just the season, or the cause may go deeper, but a thick cocoon or lethargy has settled over the lush green island of Cuba.
 Persons with experience here say they have detectel a strange inertia developing Others use the term euphoria, with particular re- ference to the mood of followers of Prime Minister Fidel Castro.
 Both Fidelistas and anti-FidelistaS betray a certain degree of rudder- lesSneSS.
 Competent sources say Castro'S supporters have never quite re- covered from the traumatic effect of the Soviet Unions abrupt with drawal of nuclear missiles last October under direct pressure from the United States.
 Continuing economic troubles, including food shortages and grad ual breakdown of private trans portation through lack of parts for American-made automobiles, are also making inroads on the Fidel- istas' morale.
 Yet at the moment, their spirits appear in measurably higher than those of opponents of the revolu- tion. From the heights of ecstasy last fall, Castro's enemies have plunged to the depths of despair.
 They had expected the US. vic tory in facing down the Soviet Union would mark the beginning of the end of the Castro regime. More than half a year later that regime is to all appearances as deeply entrenched as ever. And its opponents are Respondent. Some of the bitterness they pre-. viously felt for the regime ha: been turned in other directions for instance, toward Presiden Kennedy, whom many are calling a "Communist" because he put ( leash on Cuban exile raider: operating against the island iron US. territory.
 "If things don't change within two years, I'm getting out,' de- clares a Cuban who once vowed he would never join the rank: of refugees in the United States.

may strike If non-union Me-

Local Authority Cited
Mr.. Meany maintains that
the AFL-CIO has no authority
over local unions. He contends
it is up to the national unions
to force the locals to comply
with non-discrimination pol
icies.
National unions will con-
tinue relying mostly on persua-
sion, But they will take strong
action If persuasion fails, a ma
tional official Of the AFL-CIC
said.
Trustees will take over de-
fiant locals in some cases, he
predicted. In other cases, he
said, the national union will
revoke the locals charter.
If all else fails. this source
said, the national unions and
the AFL-CIO will encourage
hiring Of non-union Negroes
and the national unions will
not stand for protest strikes by
the white workers.

In this field, too, Mr.. Wirtz
and national union leaders are

Apprenticeship is designed
for youngsters, and offers little
hope to older Negroes who want
construction jobs.
For these older workers, q

to proceed may be to increase
use Of helpers. BY training on

journeymen, helpers could at
