U.S. and British Forces
Seek Out Cuban Raiders
MIAMI, Fla. W — Elusive Cuban
exiles kept U.S. imd British forces
hopping Saturday to rid the Keys
of Florida and the Bahamas of
guerrillas bent on harassing Cuban
Prime Minister Fidel Castro.
British Marines combed lonely
Williams Bay, 70 miles southwest
of Nassau, for munitions or other
supplies believed cached there by
unidentified men who fled at their
approach.
Reinforced air and sea units of
the Miami-based Seventh Coast
Guard District watched for sneak
departures by innocent - looking
small craft which often have
•proved to be carrying heavily
armed anti-Castro fighters.
Nodding peacefully at a Miami
dock was the 35-foot motor boat
Violynn III. It arrived Friday
with its crew of 17 in the windup
of a cruise that started down in
Bahama’s detention and a Nas
sau-to-Miami voyage shadowed by
Coast Guard fliers—until they lost
the ship in darkness.
The only English-speaking mem
ber of the crew said that Violynn
III rebuffed a Coast Guard cutter
captain’s demand that the raiders
allow their boat to be boarded near
the edge of Bahama’s territorial
waters.

Confidential Document
Mislaid In Ottawa
MONTREAL W — The Mon
treal Star says in a copyright story
that a confidential document care
lessly mislaid in Ottawa in 1961
by President Kennedy’s party con
tained marginal notes in the Presi
dent’s own hand writing.
The document is said to have
been a working paper carried to
Ottawa by the U.S. party for the
President’s conference with Prime
Minister John Diefenbaker. Pre
vious stories have said that Die
fenbaker has possession of the
document but the Prime Minister
has denied this.
The newspaper says Diefen
baker is reported to have written
the President an extraordinary
letter on the basis of the confi
dential document and it is believed
the President answered Diefen
baker with one of the stiffest notes
a U.S. administration has ever
sent a friendly chief of state.
In Washington, the White House
declined to comment on the report.
Falls account for about half of
all home injuries, and loose rugs
are leading cause.

Dr. Oppenheimer Says
Public Is Misinformed
On Security Regulations
f'- * - .
NEW YORK — Dr. J. Robert
Oppenheimer, recipient of the high
est award giveh by the Atomic
Energy Commission, was quoted
Saturday by the New York Times
as saying that the public is often
misinformed or misled because of
security regulations.
The scientist was named Friday
as winner of the Enrico Fermi
Award of the AEC—the same
agency that declared him a se
curity risk in 1954. He was inter
viewed by Times correspondent
Walter Sullivan at the Institute for
Advanced Study, Princeton, NJ.
Oppenheimer, who has headed
the institute since 1947, made a
strong plea for freeing science
from the shackles of unnecessary
secrecy, the Times reported.
The newspaper quoted Oppen
heimer as saying secrecy in regard
to a neutron bomb could lead the
public to believe nuclear war
could be made more tolerable.
This, he said, could lead to a re
laxation of efforts to avert such
a war.

Soviet Rocket Passes
Within 5,281 Miles of Moon
MOSCOW UP> — The Soviets an
nounced Saturday their Lunik 4
passed the moon at a distance of
8,500 kilometers — 5,281 miles <—
on a course that will eventually
make it an artificial satellite of
the sun.
Tass said the lV6-ton vehicle,
launched Tuesday as a part of the
Soviet space race with the United
States, passed the moon at 8:20
pjn. Friday EST.
Without specifying exactly what
Soviet scientists had hoped Lunik
4 would accomplish, the Soviet
news agency said experiments and
measurements “have been carried
out.” It said radio contact will be
maintained for several more days.
Tass said extensive experimental
material has been obtained which
will be of great importance for the
solution of a number of technical
problems connected with the con
quest of the moon.
Tass said the lunar probe, “in
the further course of its flight,”
will circle the earth on a elongated
orbit in 1963.
Maximum distance of the station
from the earth on its first circuit
will be 434,960 miles and the
minimum distance 56,927 miles, it
said. •

mankind have been translated ev

a language which is employed to
day chiefly by a few thousand
