U.S. Presses
Investigation In
Shelling of Havana
WASHINGTON UP> — The gov
ernment pressed an investigation
today to determine it the shelling
of Havana violated the U.S. Neu
trality Act.
The State Department already
has pinned on a Miami-based
exiled Cuban students group the
responsibility for Friday night’s
attack, but has not said whether
the raiders sailed from this coun
try.
The neutrality law prohibits
launching from U.S. soil armed
attacks on countries not at war
with the United States. The Jus
tice Department is trying to find
out if prosecutions under this law
are called for.
In a Miami news conference
Sunday, Juan Manuel Salvet, lead
er of the students group, declined
to say where the ships used in
the offshore shelling of Miramar
suburb were based. But, he de
clared, “I don’t feel we have vio
lated any law of any country.”
In holding the students revolu
tionary directorate responsible for
the sortie the State Department
warned Saturday that “any repeti
tion of such action by any group
could involve the provisions of
the Neutrality Act.” A spokesman
said the government had no ad
vance knowledge of the attack.
While U.S. officials personally
have some sympathy for exiled
Cubans, they take the view that
such hit-and-run attacks only
serve to feed Prime Minister Fidel
Castro’s claim that he needs Com
munist arms to build up his de
fenses.
Salvat said he and 22 other men
ranging in age from 19 to 23 used
a PT boat and a 31-foot cruiser in
the raid. More than 60 shots were
fired at Miramar during the seven
minute attack and a hotel head
quarters of Soviet bloc technicians
was damaged.
Stonehill Now in Brazil
RIO DE JANEIRO UP) — Harry
S. Stonehill, the millionaire ex
soldier from Chicago who was
expelled from the Philippines, ar
rived in Brazil Friday.
Stonehill arrived by plane from
Zurich, and left at once for Sao
Paulo. He refused to talk to re
porters.
Stonehill, 45, was expelled from
Manila Aug. 4 after being con
victed of corrupting public of
ficials, violating Philippine bank
ing laws, engaging in economic
sabotage and tax evasion.
A native of Chicago, Stonehill
took his discharge in the Philip
pines after World War II, and
built a fortune in tobacco and
other enterprises.

Varumn Cleaners
LOS ANGELES './Pi The day
of “seeing eye" vacuum cleaners
and lawn mowers is corning closer.
A gadget which could guide rug
sweeping and yard-trimming appli
ances without human help — and
distinguish warheads from decoys
or submarines from whales — was
demonstrated at the Western Elec
tronics show.
Called an optical decision filter,
the device was developed to de
tect crevices and boulders for un
manned moon jeeps.
Builder Sam Viglione of Doug
las Aircraft’s Astropower Elec
tronics Laboratory said the same
principles could be used in making
instruments to:
1. Recognize fingerprints, signa
tures or even human faces and
then unlock door and bank vaults.
2. Pinpoint storm centers as they !
develop beneath orbiting satellites.
3. Guide spaceships throug . a 1
starfield while the pilots sleep.
The prototype device, which has
been miniaturized from a roomful
of instruments, fits in a suitcase.
Viglione said further research
could reduce the size of a three
pound object nine inches long.
It is basically a tiny computer
which has been taught to identify
200,000 three-dimensional shapes.
It has 400 photo cells in the retina
of its “eye” and 400 logic units
in its “brain.”
The device is sensitive to visible
light rays, which enables it guide
vacuum cleaners around furniture
and moon jeeps around obstacles.
It could be made sensitive, Vig
lione says, to other kinds of sig
nals, such as sonar for submarine
detection, or the types of electro
magnetic radiation given off by
super-heated missile warheads as
they re-enter the atmosphere.
The key to its usefulness is the
ability to distinguish between an
almost unlimited number of signal
patterns, and did faster than a
man can think.
It’s expensive now. Viglione de
clined to discuss costs pending ne
gotiation of contracts for aero
space applications. But mass pro
duction, he said, will bring the
cost within reach of the average
consumer.
“Future vacuum cleaners,” he
said, “could be taught not only to
steer themselves around pieces of
furniture — but also to save time
by avoiding areas of carpeting
that are not particularly dirty."
Sherri Finkhine
Seeks Few Days of Rest
CINCINNATI, Ohio W — “My
family is mv first job: getting the
children readjusted is next," said
a weary Sherri Finkbine, here to
seek a few days rest at her hus
band’s family home nearby in
Indiana.
[ There was a hint of her task in
| daughter Terry, 7, when Mrs. Fink
bine and her husband, Robert, ar
rived by air Sunday night.
They were on the last leg of
the return flight from Mrs. Fink
bine’s trip to Sweden for an abor
tion. She underwent the operation
because she feared her baby would
be deformed since she took the
sedative drug thalidomide during
pregnancy.
Terry ran to the steps of the
plane when her mother descended
and thrust a gift package in her
hands.
Flashbulbs started popping,
newsmen began questions and
movie lights flared, and the girl
became frightened. She started to
sob.
“Let her alone,” said Mrs. Fink
bine. “She’s scared.”
The girl’s father stopped to com
fort her and she went back to the
care of her grandmother, while
Mrs. Finkbine and her husband
I agreed to talk briefly with news
j men.

Once friendly relations soured

U.N. criticism of Portuguese policy
in Africa. They deteriorated fur

alooft as India seized the Portu

Portuguese officials refused to

a request for greater U.S. under

Portugal's position in combatting

to abandon its African territories.
This was the first direct confir

Azores base agreement.
In the past Portugal refused di

them its contribution to the North
