dom t1gnUerS III April, 1901.
Since Mr.. Castro had the
military power to crush this
unsupported invasion, there
was no uprising. He has far
greater military power today
not to mention Russian
military units and Red Chi
nese personnel. He has the
latest and most effective
weapons, sent by Soviet
Russia. And he has, he be-
lieves, a promise that the
United States will not invade
Cuba, provided Cuba does
not attack Americans. This
promise was the great quid
pro quo for Premier Khru-
shchev when he agreed to
withdraw his aggressive"
missiles and planes from
Cuba last fall.
~ Far-Fetched Hope
So the stalemate continues
and 1t will continue even
II and after Russian troops
have been withdrawn from
Cuba. And II Mr.. Castro
is able to Withstand the
economic pressures exerted
against him by this country
and some others, that stale
mate will continue indefi-
nitely. Under such circum-
stances, Mr.. Facio's talk Of
the overthrow Of the Castro
government by Cubans them
selves seems to mean military
and financial aid from this
country and from Latin
American countries. Other
> wise the idea that the Castro
Communist government Will
topple or be dragged down
by the Cubans remaining
in the island-while Soviet
Russia wishes to hold this
bastion in the Western Hem
isphere-may take its place
alongside the hopes that the
Russian Communist state
and its Communist satellites
will collapse, so often ex-
pressed in the past and even
today.
On one subject Ambassador
Facio was not questioned
the advisability Of a Cuban
government in exile" or its
feasibility. So far the Ken
nedy administration h 9
frowned on such q proposed
action by the anti-Castro
Cubans. II set up. 1t could
become a rallying post for
the right kind Of military
and financial support which
the Ambassador mentioned.
One of the great difficulties
confronting the creation Of
a government in exile-either
here or in another American
Republic-lies in the number
of factions and ambitious
leaders among the Cuban ex-
lies, themselves. They seem
as divided, indeed, as are the
Democratic and Republican
Parties in this country, espe-
cially along conservative and
progressive lines.
Unless there Is q big
change in our policy. 1t looks
as though we are going to
live with Mr.. Castro and his
Communist government for q
long time.

the gravitational pull OF the

overcome any vertical pull Of

Situation Abnormal

In a recent pronouncement,
the President indicated he
would like to see Washington
lead the Nation in the treat
ment of mental illness.
Surely no one can disa-
gree with this Kennedy pro-
posal. Washington has al
ways led the Nation in the
number Of crackpots per cap

influx Of New Frontier Wis

worsened. Our need for a gi-

Such a program would un-
doubtedly benefit some Of
our economists, tax experts

man health and
weather are closely associ-
ated.
This is stressed In q re-
port on atmospheric sciences
Just issued by the National
Academy Of Sciences. The
body, however. is able to
make some automatic ad-
justments to weather
changes, mechanisms OF
which are only dimly under
stood. Other effects probably
yet remain unknown.
"In the case Of thermo-
regulation. for example"
says the report, at has been
clearly established that the
circulatory system and the
sweat glands are very i'm
portant under conditions Of
extreme heat. Studies cur
rently underway probably
will soon provide an expla-
nation Of how the sweat
gland produces the sweat
which is of such vital i'm
portance in regulating body
temperature.
Much To Be Learned
There Is excellent evi-
dence from laboratory ex-
periments that the endocrine
system pituitary. adrenal
and thyroid glands) makes 1t
possible for such animals as
rats and guinea pigs to ad-
Just to extremes OF cold.
The basis of the adjustments
rest in the effects OF hor-
mones from these glands on
the engines which partici-
pate in chemical transfor-
nations and energy utiliza-
ton by body cells.
But in the general field
OF behavioral reactions to
environmental changes. our
knowledge is extrem e y
meager. Animals and man do

Even less is really known,

School Discipline

VINO mas awakened Dr.
Carl Hansen. Superintendent
of the District schools?
I read with interest DR..
Hansen's report in The
Star. According to his report,
he knew all along the situa-
ton in the District schools
and now knows the remedies.
Only last year I heard the
superintendent speak. His
theme was that the District
schools had no disciplinary
problems, that those Of which
we heard were mostly rumors
and exaggerations. He further
stated that these incidents
were normal growing up
processes Of boys" For the
past year I have often
thought that some Of the
boys would never grow up
with these disciplinary prob
lens present. problems which
could do bodily harm to other
students as well as teachers.
Thanks, Shane MacCarthy

awakening our school super
intendent.

There is one crisis more
important than Cuba. Berlin,
or Southeast Asia. This crisis
is the alarming crime rate
here in the District. Each

an article relating the cir
cumstances Of some assault,
burglary or murder.
Many reasons have been
given for this prodigious
problem - unequal oppor-
tunity, inadequate housing.
and inefficient police super
vision. But the nucleus Of
this grave proposition is, as
DR.. Shane MacCarthy pointed
out in his report, lack Of
discipline in the schools and
even more so in the homes,
Nothing can be done about
lack of discipline in the
homes, that is up to the
parents themselves; but some
thing can be done about the
disciplinary situation In the
schools.
School officials should
draw up stricter regulations
governing q students per-

THE POLITICAL MILL
OAS Looks to Us for Leadership
By GOULD LINCOLN

The Organization Of Ameri-
can States - the OAS - is
leaving the Cuban problem
and Fidel Castro's Commun-
LIST government in the lap Of
the United States. This was
made clear by the organiza-
tion's principal officer and
chairman Of the GAS Council,
Costa Rican Ambassador
Gonzale j. Facio. in an in
terview on MICS television
and radio program Meet the
Press" Sunday. Furthermore,
he made 1t clear that the
OAS will not move in the
Cuba matter unless and until
the United States takes the
lead. He pointed out that the
OAS has only a secondary
role to the United States in
relations with Cuba because
the United States is the only
country Tin the Western
World that can decide on
cold war strategy. For ex-
ample, he said he hoped and
believed that the OAS would
support another blockade Of
Cuba If decided upon by the
United States-as 1t did last
october and November.
1t seems clear, however,
that consultation with the
members Of the OAS before
such action is taken, with
adequate reasons given, will
be necessary If all the Latin
American republics are to &c
along. These nations realize
that they have a stake in
the Cuban issue, even though
they look to the United
States for leadership; that
Cuba remains a base fol-
Communist subversion and
infiltration into their owr
countries. This goes, presum.
ably, for the five Latin
American countries that still
continue diplomatic relations
with the Castro government.
Ambassador Facio expressed
the opinion that If these
countries broke off diplomatic
relations it would be easier II
cope with the problem o.
Communist trained personne
who now move to and from
Cuba, and thereby to copC
with subversion and infiltra'
ton. 1t remains, however
for the Kennedy administra'
tion to make these countries
see the light. Presumably 1
is trying to do Just that.
Idea of Cuban Revolt
One Of Ambassador Facio'
most interesting comment
was that Cubans, themselves
with the right kind of mill
tary and financial support
could overthrow Fidel Castr'
and his government. He dit
not say, however. what kint
of military and financial aiG
should be given nor where /
was to come from. He be
