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.

China Reds Turn To Starvation
ToB ring End To Tibet Revolt
Editor's note: A United Press
international correspondent made
a 10-day tour of the southern
Tibetan border to check reports
of the revolt in the Chinese Com
munist dominated nation. 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

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.

Bill Contains
Appropriation for
Mall Property
Salem-(UPD-An appropriation
of $700,000 to cover cost of
purchase of property in the
Capitol mall as far north as
"D" street here is contained
in one of 24 bills requested
for introduction in the Legis
lature by the State Board of
Control.
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.
Withdraws From World
For example, the ' schizo
phrenic person withdraws
from the threatening world to
the security of his own inter-
vice to the proposed Labor
and Industries building in the
mall.
Another bill would provide
the same life insurance cover
age for officers at the new
state correctional institution
as is now available to prison
officers and the state police.
The remaining bills were
minor.
