Cuba Rebels Plan
To Continue Fight
Despite Losses
Havana 0PI Cuba's
rebels were reported collect
mg arms and regrouping
forces today in hopes of put
ting new life into their fading
"total war" against President
Fu'lgencio Batista's govern
ment.
Rebel sources said they will
continue the fight despite the
heavy losses they suffered last
week. Private reports com
piled over the week end in
dicate that at least 350 rebels
were killed in the uprising
that began Wednesday while
army and police losses
amounted to a few dozen.
Havana Quiet
Havana was generally quiet
Sunday night, and the only
violence reported elsewhere

of one rebel who fired on a
bus near Camaguey.
Rebel spokesmen said the
insurgents have received "new
arms shipments" from un
specified sources to beef up
their attacks. ,
' Authoritative sources said
the rebels were badly or
ganized and poorly trained,
making them no match for
seasoned loyal troops and po
lice in any kind of a standup
fight. Castro's forces consist
largely of enthusiastic but in
experienced youths.

Torrential Rains
In Parts of Texas
By UNITED PRESS
A collision of cold and
warm air masses over the
Southwest sent funnel clouds
spinning over Northern Okla
homa and touched off tor
rential rains and hail storms
in parts of Texas.
The storm area Sunday
night extended over most of
the Southern Plains and into
the Lower Mississippi Valley.
Weathermen blamed the
storm on a stream of warm,
moist air from the gulf flow
ing into the unusually cold
air in the south central sec
tion of the nation. ,
No Tornadoes
Several funnel clouds were
sighted in a line of thunder
storms over Northern Okla
homa late Sunday, but no
tornadoes touched the ground.
In Texas, heavy showers
and hail pounded an area
ranging from Austin to San
Marcos. Austin was hit by .86
inch of rain in a brief eight
minute deluge along with one
half inch hail stones. At San
Rise Attributed To
Technical Factors
New York IP) Stocks
pushed ahead again today in
a continuation of the advance
which restored more than $1
billion to market values last
week.
The rise was attributed to
technical factors following the
market's -recent weakness.
Market men are waiting to
see how stocks react to first
quarter earnings reports,
many of which will be on the
unfavorable side. They feel
this will give them a clue to
the market's underlying
strength or weakness.
A number of issues hit new
highs. Cessna Aircraft spark
ed the aircrafts with a gain of
more than 1. Fairchild Engine
and Lockheed improved frac
tionally and hit new tops.

Lana Turner To
Be Investigated
In Custody Case
Hollywood (IP) An attrac
tive woman probation officer,
herself the mother of two, to
day began an investigation of
the fitness of Lana Turner to
keep custody of her daughter,
Cheryl.
Mrs. Jeannette Muhlbach
will talk not only to Lana, but
also to Cheryl's father, Ste
phen Crane, and to the grand
mother, Mrs. Mildred Turner,
to prepare a recommendation
to Judge Allen T. Lynch for
the Juvenile Court hearing on
April 24.
Letters May Hinder
The passionate letters that
Lana wrote to Johnny Stompa
nato, the jealous lover whom
Cheryl killed with a butcher
knife, may weigh against tne
actress in determning whether
her mode of life is suitable for
raising a 14-year-old girl.
Crane, meanwhile, indi
cated that he might resist
strongly, the awarding of sole
custody of the child again to
her mother.
A spokesman said Crane and
Lana, with their lawyers,
would meet early this week
for "an intelligent discussion
of the girl's future."
California . state law re
quires that a woman investi
gator handle a custody case
involving a girl.
