Club Tlews GIVING OUR WORLD THE Once Over BATISTA'S STORY The success of the Castro revolution revolu-tion and the subsequent establishment establish-ment in Cuba of a base under ab solute Russian control, capable of waging military war against the United States and Latin America, as well as serving as a base for civilian subversive activities, is something too fantastic to be believed be-lieved except for the fact that it is true. How did it happen? Was Batist's government, which was overthrown by Castro, in reality the oppressive, corrupt, government American left-wingers pictured it to be? And is Castro's government a government of humanity and liberation, lib-eration, as those same Americans claimed? Answers to these and many other questions are given in the book, Cuba Betrayed, by Fulgencio Batista, Batis-ta, which was published by the Vantage Press in 1962, at $3.95. Cuba Betrayed presents an authoritative auth-oritative view which has been all but ignored in the maelstrom of charges and counter charges now swirling about the Cuban situation. On reading it, one is impelled to wonder just how the U. S. Government Govern-ment could have made the mistake it made how it could have turned against and withheld support from the Batista Government, in its struggle against Castro, and how it could have regarded the Castro revolution as a "people's revolution" revolu-tion" led by an enlightened liberator. libera-tor. One is impelled to ask these questions, and to wonder, on trying try-ing to answer them, if our "anti-anti-Castro" policy can possibly be dismissed as an error. The whole thing raises, once more, the older question of how, if our State Department De-partment men were merely stupid, they never made a mistake in our favor against the encroachments of communism. Batista was, indeed, a "strong man" of Cuba, but he was a strong man of the truly liberal stripe. He led two palace revolutions, successfully suc-cessfully and bloodlessly, and in so diong saved his country from chaos. But he won the presidency in a free election in 1940, and subsequently sub-sequently retired when his opponent oppon-ent won a later election. Latin politics poli-tics being volatile, many aspiring Latin leaders regard "democracy" as nothing more than a power vacuum vac-uum for them to mov into. So Batista felt called upon to bring order out of chaos in Cuba by means of his second palace revolution revolu-tion on March 10, 1952. OASIS RUBY SKEEM Helen Memmott celebrated her birthday by having her folks for dinner. Mr. and Mrs. Clifton Skeem received re-ceived word that their little grandson, grand-son, Guy Skeem son of Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Skeem had to be rushed rush-ed to the Primary Hospital Monday. Delta Seminary students will give Sacrament meeting next Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Deon Gillen had visitors over the weekend, Mr. and Mrs. Clead Lovell and family. They were down for the Lake-Anderson wedding. , From the Office Of the Principal DROP OUTS AT DELTA HIGH SCHOOL One of the most important problems prob-lems in the educational program in the State of Utah today is the problem of drop outs. In a recent report from the State Department of Public Instruction and Superintendent Superin-tendent Marion G. Merkley the following information is given: We have had 324 boys and 292 girls drop out of school during this past year in- the State of Utah. The majority of these cases come from the 11th grade, or ages 16 and 17. The majority of them drop out during dur-ing the first semester of school. The reason given for the greatest House Paint H-'jw Point Also Inside Wall Paint Quality Market HARDWARE By Diek Morrison I And in spite of the fact that Cu- never before, and of the further fact that he was a partisan of the UII1LCU oiaica m j. n. hiiu a staunch anti-communist, our State Department never forgave him for taking charge. That his was a friendly government, and one which had brought about a condition of stability which had resulted re-sulted in the greatest degree of prosperity Cuba had ever known, was of no import to American eggheads. egg-heads. They persisted in the line that he was an oppressor and a dictator. So, when the chips were down, and Fidel Castro was on the way to victory, our State Department, in its wisdom, regarded Castro as a reformer and liberator, and withdrew with-drew support from Batista. And since Castro was backed by Soviet Russia, the success of his revolution revolu-tion was then assured. The U. S. refused to permit the delivery to Batista of airplanes which had already al-ready been paid for in this country. Batista goes into these matters in much detail. Except that this is justified for the sake of accuracy of the record, the recounting of the step-by-step success of Castro's revolution re-volution is almost superfluous. But the reader may skip what he chooses and read as much as he wishes; and at all events this book by the man who was deposed by Castro is interesting and informative. informa-tive. The idiocy of the U. S. State Department De-partment is made clear in Batista's reply to the State D epartment White Paper which was published ! to justify the Department's course and which, according to Batista, is noteworthy for both errors and omissions. Of the White Paper, Batista Ba-tista says, in part, "The Department Depart-ment keeps repeating its silly fantasy fan-tasy that Fidel is a 'traitor' to the revolution! His revolution was created cre-ated and inspired by communists from the beginning. . . . The White Paper is one of the most indefensible indefensi-ble documents ever to be published by a supposedly responsible foreign office". In other words, the White Paper both pleaded ignorance, and revealed re-vealed ignorance, on the part of its writers. And, for that matter, A-mericans A-mericans should not forget that it was the New York Times which, in its characteristic attitude of superiority, su-periority, kept insisting that Castro was not a communist, almost up to the time he declared to all the world that he was! The New York Times is the "bible" of lefties in the U. S. Government. According to those Americans who have a vested interest in the dispensing of "foreign aid", the line is that poverty invites communism. com-munism. For that reason, we must "aid" backward peoples in order to keep them from going communistic. commun-istic. But the truth is that Cuba was the most prosperous of the smaller Latin American nations. Batista's policies had made it that way. So here, once again, events gave the lie to the notion that it is poverty that breeds communism. Again, our government lefties viewed the Castro revolution as a "people's" revolution. when, in fact, it was a thoroughly professional news number of drop outs was marriage. The second reason was unwillingness unwill-ingness to obey school regulations. High in the number of school drop outs are the students who maintain a grade of D or lower. At Delta High we have had eleven ele-ven students drop out of school. The number of drop outs in our school is serious, but greater significance sig-nificance is the question, "What can we do to keep these students from dropping out?" Of all the members of the school staff, it would appear that the school counselor should have, arid generally does have more information informa-tion about the individual student than any other staff member. Because Be-cause of this fact and in the light of his training and experience, the counselor should be, and is, the key person in any program concerned with reducing the number of drop outs in a school system. We commend Mr. Cropper for his excellent work in holding many other potential drop outs in school and providing adequate programs so that these people will feel successful suc-cessful and satisfied with their school experience. 7,300 Read It In The CHRONICLE MARTONE Shampoo and Creme Rinse 12 OZ.

For all of that, the fact remains that for an impover-J ished people to go communistic is the stupidest thing they can do.! What the backward nations need' is a system of free capitalism. That way lies prosperity, which, presum- j ably, is what they seek. Eut in communism lies only human degradation. de-gradation. I Well, some of these comments have been my own; though I hold that none of them is far at odds with the views presented by Ful-gencia Ful-gencia Batista, in his book, Cuba Betrayed. Batista's book, like all books, speaks for itself, and it holds a message for such Americans Ameri-cans as want to get the "other side" of the Cuban question. That is, the side other than Castro's. SUPER-DUPER PLUMBING JOB Got a letter from Merlene Mrs. Jack Malone last month. Yes, the same Jack Malone as ran a plumbing plumb-ing business here in Delta until he moved to California. Jack is -still in the plumbing business, now in Palm Springs, Calif., and the job he has just completed com-pleted would be the envy of any of the boys who love the smell of oakum. Merlene sent some clips from the Desert Sun, newspaper of Palm Springs. These give descriptions and pictures of the new Morrill mansion, of which Jack held the plumbing contract. "There are seven sev-en Roman tubs with gold plated trim and beautiful dressing rooms with marble trim, etc.", writes Merlene. "Fountains inside and out, and a dream of a kitchen". Dream is right, and so is the whole shack. Built for a contractor of Glendale, at a cost of a half million dollars, it is one of the show places of showy Palm Springs. Any who want to follow it up may fin the 64-page color spread in Architecture Archi-tecture Magazine for April or May, Merlene advises us. Quoting the Desert Sun: "Palla-. dian Roman Style, the Morrill Mansion Man-sion contains gigantic wall murals, fountains that splash away both outside and within the house, a wide-flung entrance hall that is I larger than many entire home ar-' eas; a magnificent dining room, with its terrazzo floors covered by three off-white rugs loomed in India; In-dia; a vast living room and other family areas; seven bedrooms and matching baths". I And as if that were not enough, ' "the final wing of this remarkable house contains an entire area for guests, with sliding glass doors giving each bedroom a magnificent view and access to the swimming pool area". A tour of the mansion was arranged, during which one of the inside fountains flowed with champagne for the guests. I remember Jack's plumbing truck here. On the front were painted the words, "Here comes' Jack". On the rear were the words, "There goes Jack". Jack was never a man to be in a quandary as to whether he was coming or going. His truck made that clear. And in reading of this,super-duper plumbing plumb-ing job he has just completed, it seems safe to conclude that he has arrived. i Girls' Swirls Twirl Curls A "Pep Club Review" will be pre sented March 27th, Wednesday, at 7:30 p.m. at the Palomar.

I Eloise Johnson I Utah's Cottage Cheese Fesival Ends April 14 People in the Delta area this week were invited to join the state generally in observing Utah's cottage cot-tage cheese festival which continues contin-ues until Easter, April 14. The invitation in-vitation was extended by E. A. Walker, general chairman for the festival which is sponsored by the American Dairy Association of Utah. "Cottage cheese production in Utah during the first two months of 1963 showed an increase of better bet-ter than 11 per cent over the same period last year," Mr. Walker said. He added that virtually all cottage cheese processed in Utah is consumed con-sumed by people of the state. "The figures indicate a substantial increase in-crease in the- demand for cottage cheese," he said. The gains are based "on figures of the federal marketing administrator's adminis-trator's data for the Great Basin marketing area, which covers most of Utah and part of northeastern Nevada. "With many Utah families now in the. season of meatless meals, cottage cot-tage cheese sales in Utah should reach all time highs," he said. "There are several reasons for he marked increase in cottage cheese eating in the state," Mr. Walker continued. "In the first place, people are becoming more diet conscious. Cottage cheese is a low-cost food, rich in protein and ather nutrients, but low in calories.
