JANUARY getting against news media The ruling will occur any kind to curtail oil shipments. Cas- tm can continue to order all he wants from his fellow Communists — if he ean pay their increased price. That's the agonizing rub. He can’t, So he had to drastically reduce oil imports. Heis still paying out as much as he did before, but getting a lot less for it — with the Cuban masses taki the rap. Privately, the posturing dictator is squealing like a stuck hog. But there is :no‘hing he can do about it. The Kremlin has him in a bind, and he has to take it — or else! Reason is that all trade between Cuba ana the Soviet bloc is on a barter basis — with the latter fixing prices. Cuba is primarily a single-crop exporter — sugar accounts for approximately 85 per cent of its foreign sales. The remainder consists of 5 per cent tobacco, 5 per cent minerals and metals, 2 per cent fruits and vegetables, 3 per cent miscellaneous. Under barter agreements, Russia and other Communist countries take more than two-thirds of Cuba’s sugar. In 1966, the last year for which figures are available, the International press headed by Justice Paul C. Reardon of the Massachusetts to the disclosure of such in/ormation as prior criminal rezords, existence or content of confessions or pleas, results of tests, identity of witnesses or any evidence relating to the merit the case, ** # What does a fast-growing business do?

Sugar Council reported Cuba shipped only 27 per cent of its 4.4 million tons of sugar exports to non-Communist countries, All the rest went to the Iron Curtain and to Red China — which got 500,000 tons, RED CAPTIVE — Castro's critical economic dilemmais further compounded by two other crucial factors: —Under Castro’s fumbling and bumbling, Cuba consistently imports more than it sells abroad. In 1966, latest figures available, this persistent trade deficit was more than $100 million. Cuba imported $900 million in goods and exported $800 million — a deficit of more than 10 per cent, Intelligence estimates this deficit as even greater last year, —Repeated poor sugar crops due to mismanagement, machinery breakdowns, lack of parts and drought. In the nine years of Castro’s rule, there has been only 1 sugar crop that matched prior totals — 1967, which produced 6.2 million tons. The 1966 crop barely reached 5 million tons, and estimates of this year’s crop are not much better; at the most, it’s not expected to exceed 5.5 million. This severely reduced crop puts Castro painfully at the mercy of Moscow. Under a 1964 barter agreement, he is tion of the arrest, evidence seized and the formal charge, according to J.

Sa “There is a fecling among some of them that no matter how it is played it may be hepeless.” Bythe polis, Rockefeller appears to be the Republican most likely to defeat President Johnson in November, Atleast half of the 26 Republican governors say they want him and someof the conservative remainder say they could take him as nominee. Some “want-to-win’”” GOP members of Congress talk him up. Ordinarily, such evidences of vote potential and of top-grade support would be more ‘han enough to assure a huge driving campaign effort. Yet pushing Rockefeller's candidacy seems to be a thing of almost eggshell delicacy. “The toughest road ahead is Rockefeller's” says a friend, TodayIn History Is History Teacher Victim Of Too Much Federal Power? Editor Herald: Asearly as October, 1966, the U. S. Department of Justice, through Acting Attorney General Ramsey Clark, notified the House Rules Committee “the federal government feels it has complete power to order the reassignment of teachers, professors or members of the staffs of any educational institution receiving any federal assistance if there is any reason to believe that ‘racialallocation of faculty’ denies to students ‘equality of educational opportunity’.”” . If the government has this “complete power” over any educational institution and employees who receive federal aid, who is going to decide whether or not THIS is the reason (stated above) used or needed to reassign employees?

So far, he is holding to earlier resolves not to get involved in Oregon or any other hand-to-hand preconvention combat. There is fresh word that the governor simply has no taste for the kind of political warfare which scarred him so deeply in 1964. The feeling in the Rockefeller entourage and among some moderate leaders is that any such move would merely stir the sameright wing furies which were unleashed against him before. It might, in other words, galvanize his enemies even as it could encourage his frustrated friends. The other sire of the argument, conseq''ently, is the oft-heard contention that Rockefeller and moderate leader in action is the only sane course to his nomination — The only way not to fire up ancient adversaries untii, through possible polls showing him the only likely Republican victor in November he can be thrust to top position in the ceavention and opposition to him seems pointkless. But the pressure upon him to move nevertheless mounts steadfly. It is bound to increa:e again as more and more moderates learn that Michigan Gov. George Romney’s own poll in New Hampshire shows him trailing Nixon not by 3 to 1, as first re ported in print, but by a whopping 6 to 1.

In the absence of Rockefeller motion, Nixon might become the evident moderate choice as compared with remaining active adversary, conservative Gov. Ronald Reagan of California. And Reagan’s forces, if clearly beaten themselves, might throw in with Nixon rather than stand by and watch a belated effort by moderates to block Nixon and put Rockefeller across.

Under this pact, Castro is required this year to supply the Soviet with 5 million tons of sugar.

And putting all his political eggs in that one basket he hopes to defeat President Johnson for the nomination, McCarthy ignores early popularity polls, says he sees “a strong trend” favoring his position and thinks a peace candi- date will have “a very good chance” against Mr. Johnson in November. If the peace rumors sour and the war goes on, McCarthy might rally a substantial protest vote among the electorate, but it is not likely party professionals would dump an incumbent, especially when his GOP opponeiits are all pledged to cloak his exposed rear with their own. |
