ARGENTINE TEEN-AGERS
SPLATTER PRINCE PHILIP
OF ENGLAND WITH EGGS
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (tf>—
Ultra-nationalist teen-agers splat
tered the light grey suit of Prince
Philip of England with two eggs
and several tomatoes Saturday as
he neared the closing stages of an
otherwise serene South American
good will tour.
“What a disgrace,” exclaimed
one policeman, caught by surprise
by the barrage.
Philip, also caught by surprise,
said nothing that was recorded. But
he seemed unperturbed outwardly.
Police immediately ringed the
husband of Queen Elizabeth II and
arrested five youths. They were
identified as teen-age members of
an ultra-nationalist youth club
called Tacaura which has been
causing trouble recently. Their
names were not given out.
Sir George Middleton, the British
Ambassador, and Philip’s air force
aide quickly brushed the eggs off
the prince’s back and he went
on into the Argentine-British
Coltural Institute for a royal in
spection.
Amid a crowd of several hun
dred he calmly went on with his
greetings.
Later he changed from his light
grey suit to a tan one and went to
the swank Jockey Club, where he
lunched with Argentina’s top 67
businessmen.
A British Embassy spokesman
said the prince asked that the ar
rested youths be released but told
“not to do it again because the
duke does not have an unlimited
number of suits.”

Loophole on Ban
Of Imports from
Fidel Castro’s Cuba
WASHINGTON UPi — The gov
ernment has plugged a loophole in
its ban on imports from Fidel
Castro’s Cuba and spurned a note
in which his regime denied having
a hand in smuggling narcotics into
the United States.
A Treasury Department order,
effective at 12:01 a.m. EST Sat
urday, blocks shipments from any
country of products containing ele
ments of Cuban origin.
Under a Cuban embargo pro
claimed by President Kennedy Feb.
3, it was possible to ship products
into the United States from foreign
countries other than Cuba even
though they contained ingredients
from Cuba.
The Treasury order used powers
under the trading with the enemy
I under the Trading With the Enemy
| Act, which applies to Communist
primari ly at tobacco products manu
factured elsewhere but contains
Cuban tobacco.
The rejected note, in which the
Cuban government denied a part
in narcotics smuggling, was turned
back by the State Department be
cause of its abusive language.
State Department press officer
Lincoln White commented that it
was interesting that Cuba would
deny complicity in narcotics traffic
when it had not been accused.
He suggested dehial in such cir
cumstances reflected a guilty con
science.
Five Cubans recently arrested in
Miami for bringing in narcotics,
he said, have admitted they got
their drugs in Havana. U.S. officials
said at least some of the narcotics
had been sent to Cuba frbm Com
munist China.

patrolman Bill Hart saw something

a quick way to find out. He stuck
ttf e glbifring tipi of his cigarette to
it.
Hart was admitted to a hospital
Friday, after surgeons repaired the

ABOMINABLE SNOWMAN
CLAIMED A ' HOAX”
BY SIR EDMUND HILLARY
RICHMOND, Va. W — The con
queror of Mt. Everest had a word
or two to say here Saturday about
the Yeti, or Abominable Snowman.
“It’s a hoax, a myth,” said Sir
Edmund Hillary.
Sir Edmund had his say about
the Yeti, a legendary half-man,
half-beast, while in Richmond for
a speech.
He said climbing Everest, the
world’s highest mountain, was
I “certainly my most exciting ex
perience.”
When allowance is made for the
effects of altitude, he added, other
mountains present equally as chal
lenging technical problems as did
his route up the famed mountain
in 1953.
This fall he will return to Nepal,
do some more climbing on a 21
500-foot Himalayan peak, and work
on his pet project — establishing
schools in that area to combat the
influences from nearby Communist
China.
Sir Edmund said his expeditions
in the Himalayas have shown how
different sea-level man is from his
mountain cousins.
“We ran some rather intensive
scientific tests at 19,000 feet,” he
said, “and found that those of *us
raised at sea level had lost 50 per
cent of our effective working
ability.
“But our guides, raised in the
mountains, had lost only 5 per
cent. A matter of heredity, quite
likely.”
JUNEAU UB — A resolution
urging Congress to act favorably
on a bin requiring that women re
ceive pay equal to that received
by men for equal or comparable
work was approved by the Senate
today.
