Clamp on Gambling Curtails Tempo of Havana Night Life Havana-iUPB-The shutdown of gambling casinos has slow ed down the tempo of night life in Havana. The revolution and events that followed cut down con siderably on the number of free-spending tourists. Many .Americans preferred the gam ing tables of Havana to Flor ida's sunshine. But tourism at present is at low ebb. The big hotels, the $25 mil lion Riviera, the $15 million Havana Hilton and the $16 million Capri which cater to fast-spending Americans have been hard hit by the gambling ban. Night clubs such as the Tropicana and Sans Souci al so are more or less dead with out gambling. Big Shots Gone Most of the big shot gam bling operators from New York and Las Vegas have left Havana, for the time being. But they're keeping an eye on the situation, to see wheth er the new government will let up on the gambling ban- and when. At present the town is crowded with Fidel Castro's soldiers and visiting newsmen from 20 countries, here for the big show trials. But Ha vana is quiet, with its once galloping night life down to a walk. The big Question now is: Organization Of Legislature Parties Approved Salem-flJPD-Rep. Joe Rogers (R-Independence) said he would support any reasonable legislation which would re quire the majority and minor ity parties in the Legislature to organize officially and name leaders. "For the first time in the history of this state, the Re publicans in the House and Senate met in caucus and elected recognized leaders this time," Rogers said. Planned by Democrats Rogers said it was his un derstanding that the Demo cratic leadership was . plan ning to introduce such legis lation. ' " Republican leaders are Sen Anthony Yturri (R-Ontario) and Rep. Robert Elfstrom (R Salem). State Rep. J. Pat Metke R- Bend) has introducted a bill relating to the distribution of receipts received by counties from the sale of U.S. Forest Service timber. The intention of the bill is to allow the county courts the privilege of decision as to the distribution of these funds between county roads and county school use. The present law calls for 75 per cent of the funds to go to roads and 25 per cent to schools. According to Need In some counties it may be advisable to distribute these funds in some other percent ages according to need, Metke said. The bill does not require a change in distribution but leaves it to the discretion of each county. Thirty-one of Oregon's 36 counties would be affected. Read for the first time was House bill 209 which provides for property assessment of mo tor carriers. Rep. Clarence Barton (D Coquille) said the bill provides that real property of the car riers would be on the county tax rolls and other property taxed at the average tax rate on personal property in the state. 4-H Club Planned . In Sams Valley Stan Hall is planning to sponsor a 4-H livestock club in Sams Valley, according to Glenn Klein, county 4-H agent. The organization meeting is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. today at Sams Valley school. All interested boys and girls and their parents are invited to attend the first meeting of the club which will include projects on sheep, dairy, swine, beef, rabbits and poul try. DRIVER'S LICENSE PHOTO San Francisco - (DPD - The state of California is photo graphing auto drivers. The Department of Motor Vehicles has acquired 200 special cam eras to make tiny "mug" shots of applicants for driv er's licenses and renewals. All drivers are expected to have photo-licenses in five years. Officials said the new system will serve to discourage coun terfeiting or faking of driv er's licenses, which have be come a widely accepted means of identification. Can this normally gay city of more than a million persons afford to do without gam bling? It's estimated that the jobs of 9,000 Cubans, including musicians, entertainers, wait ers and the like, were affect ed by the gambling shutdown. Labor leaders are concerned about unemployment. Some government officials, including Provisional Presi dent Dr. Manuel Urrutia, have indicated gambling should have no place in Cuba's fu ture. But it is believed they may ease up and permit gam bling at the swanky casinos on a "for tourists only" basis. Wants Share of Profits If gambling is permitted again, the new government would expect 70 per cent of the profits. Cuban officials would use some of the money for a "rehabilitation fund," and the rest to promote tour ism, which is the nation's most important industry after sugar production. The gamblers who have been running the casinos say they - cannot operate on this basis. But so far that has not appeared to worry the Cuban officials. Fidel Castro has said that responsible business manage ment must replace "gang sters" in any revived gam bling operations and would like to see the average Cu ban stay out of the big casinos. Castro also recognizes the importance of tourism to Cu ba's economy, and the rela tionship of gambling to the flow of tourists here. l , see" V.

He lived with a chief of the rebel Khamba tribe and spoke with many other refugees in border towns. They made it clear the Communists have run into extreme trouble in the ancient mountain kingdom. By M. M. GUPTA Kalimpong, Sikkim - (DPD -Communist China has failed to wipe out a two -year -old revolt in Tibet with bombs and guns and is trying to cripple it through starvation, rebel sources disclosed here. Target of the Red action is the Khamba tribe of eastern Tibet, one of the world's fiercest fighting groups. Failing to best or even match the Khambas in tricky mountain guerrilla warfare, the Communist Chinese have resorted to indiscriminate night and day bombings of villages and temples, driving the people from their land. Some of the rebels have fled to towns along Tibet's southern border with Nepal and the Indian protectorates of Bhutan and Sikkim. Others have taken refuge in moun tain-top caves or in the jun gles. Fight Goes On But the fight still goes on "It's a deliberate attempt to starve out our entire race,1 said one refugee Khamba leader. "But this is not going to help them, just as their military campaign did not. 15 N. w No authoritative figures on casualties "i s available, but authoritative Tibetan sources estimate that from 12,000 to 20,000 persons have been kill ed in Kham Province alone in the last two years. Chinese Communist deaths are estimated at rrom v.uuu to 10,000. "They have taken our homes and lands because we do not like them," said one Khamba rebel. "We go out now. But we come again and then they will know whose homes they are defiling in Kham. We shall never like them. Never, never; never." The Khambas began their resistance in 1956 with hit run guerrilla tactics, isolated and disorganized. But by last summer they had refined their tactics and coordinated them in concentrated efforts against Chinese Communist troops.' Count on Surprise They claim that last year they destroyed more than 50 Red military convoys in am bushes and harassed another 50. Surprise is the main ele ment in the Khamba strategy. Attacks are carried out at night and on difficult moun tain roads. First they roll huge bould ers down the mountain sides onto a convoy or CommunistH Chinese bivouac. Then they fall on the Red troops with the watch that made history from to the Antarctic ANTARCTIC for men Croton Watches Start at $4950 for women and men ANTARCTICA for womee We Give S&H GREEN STAMPS Free Parking at Alabam's Lot Central Tribune guns and daggers, shouting fearsome war cries. Often the Chinese have been bottled up in a narrow pass with the Khambas at tacking from both directions. Kham rebel leaders claim proudly that the Chinese Communist is no match for a Khamba in hand - to - hand fighting. Heavy Toll Taken The struggle has taken a heavy toll of both sides, but the Khambas are particularly elated at their successes against a supposedly better equipped and better trained opponent. Rebels here saw the next phase of their operation as a two pronged effort - to stir up the rest of Tibet against the Chinese through propa ganda, and to continue hit- run guerrilla attacks that will keep the Communists from getting too firm a foothold. rl iwoi' 11. -If I Vsfc"- 'S&'Xfiw ' V !"

The action was taken at the first meeting attended by Mark Hatfield as governor and Howell Appling Jr., new ly installed secretary of state. Anxious to Sell William Ryan, Board secre tary, said that many property owners in the Salem Mall area were unable dispose of their property in normal channels and therefore were anxious to sell their homes to the state. He said if the money is made available and persons wish to sell at an appraised price satisfactory to the Board, it would mean relief for a number of property owners who find it a hardship to retain their property.

'Certainty Quest' Chicago-(Science Service)- The "quest for certainty" as a new approach to the treat ment of emotional illness has been suggested by two New York psychoanalysts. Many emotional illnesses are at least partly the result of a person's "quest for cer tainty." Neurotic behavior rep resents a means of obtaining this certainty, Dr. Emanuel K. Schwartz of the Post-graduate Center for Psychotherapy and Dr. Alexander Wolf of New York Medical College report. Most neurotics repeat their behavior over and over they are certain of its outcome and refuse to risk trying a new approach to their problems, the psychoanalysts state in the Archives of Neurology and Psychiatry.
