Castro's Shaving Plans Reason
For Gl Clothes Learned in Talk
Br FRANK ELEAZER
UPI Correspondent
Washington -(UPD For the
latest word on whether, and
when, Fidel Castro plans to
chave off his beard, read on.
Also it is possible to divulge
now one possible reason why
the Cuban prime minister still
wears those GI clothes.
Otherwise, I guess we did
not learn much new from Cas
tro's appearance at the Na
tional Press club. We did find
out, though, that he has a
watch, knows how to read it,
and can take a hint as good
as the next guy.
'Large Speeches'
To use his own phrase, Cas
tro is given to making "large
ipeeches." Some of them go
on for hours. Press Club Pres
ident Bill Lawrence noted in
fact that in a number of warm
up addresses and interviews
around "town the past several
days Castro had made Sen.
Hubert H. Humphrey look
like silent Cal Coolidge.
I guess we learned some
thing there, too: That Castro
reads the newspapers. Any
way, he must have known all
about Humh prey's eight - hour
talk with Khrushchev because
he was able to see this was
funny.
He also was able to join in
the laughter at the ridiculous
remark Lawrence made next
Namely that Castro would ad
dress us for 15 minutes.
Hammered With Questions
Of course, Castro didn't
quite make that. But with the
neip oi me vuoan iinance
minister, who told him when
12M minutes was up, and af
ter a careful check of his own
left wrist at the 16-minute
mark, he wound it up with
an "okay" exactly HVi min
utes later.
This unquestionably was his
shortest speech on record.
Then, as is our custom, we
hammered away at him with
question. The questions and
his responses-it wouldn't be
right to call 'em answers ex-actly-took
another 35 min
utes, and the whole thing
wound up, just like the rules
say, at 2 p.m.
Nobody asked Castro why
he hasn't shed those army fa
tigues but maybe this was be
cause nobody had to. There
were 505 of us seated in the
Press Club's big ball room,
plus 100 or so standing about
the edges and in the balcony,
and with the bright lights and
all we were sweating under
our collars and coats before
Castro even got up to talk.
He was the only guy in the
room with neither jacket nor
tie. We sure envied him.
There were lots of good
questions, like why Cubans
may not have an election for
maybe four years. He talked
10 minutes on that one, and
I believe his reply was that
they don't want an election
yet and that, anyway, they
aren't ready for one.
Expounds New Theory
He had an interesting ex
planation also for the time he
persuaded a Cuban court to

dropping some bombs for Ba
tista. He said the accused has the
right of appeal. So why
shouldn't the government?
That was a new theory of
jurisprudence to most of us
non-lawyers, but Castro has a
doctorate in law so maybe he
knows. Anyway, we were im
pressed with the fact that he
believes what he says, wheth
er or not he's always right.

Animated 'Skippers'
Are Not Beautiful
"Skipper" is a popular
name for a dog, probably im
plying a sprightly or vivac
ious nature. But "skipper" is
also the common name for a
butterfly, which, too, is alert
and animated, seeming to en
joy every minute of its life in
the sun.
Most of the butterflies are
said to be beautiful but the
skippers, although common,
fall down in this category;
they are too dull colored, us
ually brown, with yellow or
white markings. And the skip
pers are too small to be con
spicuous. The handsomest of the lot
is the gold-banded variety.
The body is hairy, of a dusty
brown color, with a bright-
colored, gold band or slash
on each wing. The silver-spot
ted skipper probably the most
plentiful in the U.S., has yel
low spots across the fore
wings and a conspicuous sil
ver white spot on the under
side of each hind-wing. In
flight the butterfly often em
its a buzzing' sound.
Named for Flight .
I The name skipper comes
about because of the method
of flight, an irregular, jerky,
rapid up-and-down series of
hops and usually close to the
ground. The flight or skip, is
much more rapid than the
more leisurely flight of most
of the butterflies. When the
skipper cames to rest the
wings are held in a vertical
position. Although the skip
pers are day-time fliers, they
resemble the night flying
moths in many respects. Early
naturalists classified them
with the moths.
The body is moth-like, be
ing more robust and stout.
The wings are strong and the
insect has short, well develop
ed legs. The antennae are far
apart at the base and end in
a tiny hook at the tip and
point backward.
The skipper lays her yel
low eggs singly on the under
side of selected plant leaves.
Each egg hatches into a small
pupa, who immediately be
gins cutting a flap in the edge
of a leaf. The flap is wedge-
shaped, whereby the loose
end can be pulled over or
folded back upon the body of
the leaf and "sewed" or "tied"
with several silk cords, form
ing a small tent or nest. In
side this tent the worm lives
during the daylight hours. At
night it crawls forth to feed
on the plant tissues returning
to the tent at daylight.
Keep Moving
As the caterpillars grow
they keep moving to other lo
cations on the leaf, each tune
constructing another tent or
wigwam in which to hide. For

Influx of Negroes Info Nortri,
West Create Several Problems
Editor's note: This is the second
of two dispatches on the vast
change and problems created by
the recent migration of Negroes
from the South to the cities of
the North and West.
By LOUIS CASSELS
UPI Correspondent
Washington - (UPD - During
the 19th century, America's
big cities were inundated by
great waves of immigrants
from Europe.
They crowded into ghetto
like districts of the inner city
New York's East' Side, Chi
cago's South Side, Detroit's
Hamtramck. Differences of
language, culture and religion
set them 'apart from the, na
tive population, and made4
their assimiliation a slow and
painful process.
For the past two decades,
immigrants of another kind
have been pouring into the
metropolitan centers of the
North . and West. They are
Negroes from the rural areas
of the American South.
Like their European pred
ecessors, they have settled
first in the decaying areas of
the inner city. They, too, are
"different" not in nationali
ty or language, but in race, in
education and income levels,
in many of their cultural
mores.
Their assimilation also is
proving to be a painful proc
ess both for them and for
the cities.
The problem has many as
pects. Here are some of the
most acute:
Exercises To Help

Dr Kurt Schutz, a long
time student of what physical
exertions can do for the whole
body, reminded a medical au
dience that Greek physicians
2,000 years ago evidently did
what no present-day physi
cian can do. They made ath
letic champions out of sickly
people by prescribing gym
nastics. Those Greeks had no idea
of the vital chemical func
tions of the adrenal glands
which look a little like mush
rooms as they perch above
the kidneys, but they appar
ently stumbled upon some
thing useful. Modern medical
science ' should find out how
today's people can also stimu
late their own adrenals in a
healthful way.
Protection Against Stress
Schutz continued by re
minding of how the adrenals
protect the body against stress
and illness, keep in mind, is
stress, too. When stress ap
pears, they increase their se
cretions of hormones and
those potent chemical sub
stances prepare the body's
chemistry to deal with stress
without any harm coming to
the body.
Extreme stress can produce
shock in the adrenals. The
chemical balances among
their secreted hormones are
threatened which in turn,
threaten the bodily defenses
in that case, "counter-shock"
secretions are set off and all
is well although the glands
are weakened in the process.
From this Schutz said, can
stem all manner of diseases.
Muscular exercises, he con
tinued, causes very little
shock to the adrenals but
does set off the "counter
shock" chemistry. The result
is that chemical balances are

There is no legal segrega
tion in northern cities that
is one big reason why Negroes
move there. But there is un
official and often highly ef
fective segregation in hous
ing. It is enforced by re
strictive covenants (which
have no standing in court but
are carried out as "gentle
men's agreements"); by the
financial pressure of lending
institutions, which approve
mortgage loans for Negroes
only if the 'home being pur
chased is in an already "brok
en" block; by the refusal of
white owners to sell or rent
to Negroei? .
These and other factors
have served to keep the fast-
growing Negro population of
most northern cities cooped
up in grossly - overcrowded
slums and near-slums. It is
not uncommon, in New York's
Harlem, for 15 people to live
in a three-room, cold-water
flat. In Chicago's South
Side "black belt," the popula
tion density is approaching
that of Calcutta, India.
Under-Educated
Many of the Negroes who
have migrated to northern
cities in the past two decades
were illiterate. Nearly all
were "under-educated" with
an average of four years less
schooling than whites of com
parable age. Most of them
knew only one trade farm
ing. The handicaps they brought
with them have been com-
restored to adrenals which
had become unbalanced by
too much shocking stress and
too little counter - shocking
stress such as exercise and
feeling emotions of anger.
Anger Relieves Trouble
Schutz was precise in point
ing out that emotions are
stresses to the adrenals, as
well as disease processes. He
said one of his asthmatic pa
tients noticed that whenever
he angered, his asthma was
relieved. Presumably anger
increased the secretions of
the particular adrenal hor
mones which supervise the
body's production and utiliza
tion of energy and for a short
time restored lost balances.
Hydrocortisone is the prin
cipal one of these hormones.
It is given from the outside to
relieve many ailments, such
as arthritis, often with spec
tacular results. But the re
sults never last. Schutz sug
eetsed the cood results came
because 1 the outside hydro
cortisone restored the lost
balances, but meanwhile the
glands shut down their own
production of hydrocortisone
and the balances were again
lost.
Now, if medical i science
could find out what physical
exercises anud what emotions
were "optimal" for perfect
function of the adrenals, peo
ple could be taught to "train"
their adrenals by exercising
correctly and conditioning
their emotions into channels
that would build up rather
than tear down those glands.
He set forth his theory to
the Medical Society of the
State of New York, and at
this stage it is theory but the
ory based upon much accu
mulated knowledge of the
vital roles of the adrenal hor
mones in body chemistry.
"The " human organism is
geared to activity," he said,
and implied that today's peo
ple are not active enough-in
a physical way.
Washington -(UPD-r The Sen
ate Commerce committee has
introduced a bill to permit
the Federal Communications
commission to license TV
"booster" stations. The mea
sure would apply to very high
frequency stations built be
fore Jan. 1, 1959, and engaged

vision stations.

Compant Svj
I pounded by racial discrimi
nation in trainins and pm-
ployment. In Washington, for
example, Negroes cannot
train as apprentice plumbers
or electricians the unions
won't let them. Throughout
the North, the barriers to Ne
gro employment in higher
paying jobs are still very
high.. Census surveys show
that only 12 per cent of all
Negro workers have profes
sional, managerial or other
"white collar" jobs, com
pared to 42 per cent of the
white workers.
The result is clearly appar
ent in Negro incomes. "The
latest government analysis
shows that the medium in
come of full-time Negro
workers is $2,661 a year,
compared to $4,375 for
whites.
Social Disorganization
The mass influx of ill-prepared
immigrants has created
severe problems for the cities.
Item: New York City's wel
fare budget has shot up to
$200 million a year, with non
whites accounting for 70 per
cent of the load.
Item: Philadelphia's vene
real disease rate has climbed
to an all-time high. About 90
per cent of the patient's treat
ed at public clinics are Ne
groes. Item: Washington has what
one official calls a "stagger
ing" rate of illegitimate births
to teenage girls. Of 185 nub-
lic school girls who' became
pregnant m the 1957-58
school year, 169 were Ne
groes. The social disorganization
inherent in transplanting a
huge Negro population from
sauthern farms to big city
slums is also reflected in a
sharply rising crime rate.
Muggings and yoke rob
beries have become so com
mon in Washington that many
citizens are afraid to walk
the streets at night. Balti
more has equipped police pa
trols with German shepherd
dogs to cope with increasingly
bold street bandits. New
York's public schools have
been plagued by rapes, rob
beries and assaults.
Youthful Hoodlums
It is a fact, well-known to
police departments, including
those that do not break down
arrest statistics by race, that
a large percentage of these
violent crimes are being com
mitted by youthful hoodlums
from the Negro slums.
In Philadelphia, two thirds
of those arrested for serious
crimes during 1958 were Ne
groes. , While stern police meas
ures may be the immediate
answer to this problem, au
thorities agree that the ulti
mate solution lies in relieving
the social tensions of which a
high crime rate is sympto
matic. "Educational deprivation,
job discrimination, low in
come levels, overcrowded
housing, broken homes and
juvenile delinquency are all
mutually related parts of the
same picture," says an officail
of the Urban League. "Each
phase of the problem feeds on
the other.
"It will take time and ti
tanic efforts to work this
thing out. But there are no
shortcuts."
