Cuban Officials
'Hides' Mikoyan
Havana - (CPD - The Fidel
Castro government hid glad
handing Soviet First Deputy
Premier Anastas Mikoyan
irom signt baturaay, appar
ently to protect him from
possible anti-Communist at
tacks.
Even Russian newsmen who
accompanied Mikoyan to Ha
vana for the opening of a So
viet exposition, professed to
be in the dark as to the
whereabouts of Russia's No. 1
traveling salesman.
The Cuban government ap
parently ordered secrecy
thrown around his move
ments for fear there might be
a repetition of Friday's wild
shooting spree in midtown
Havana, a block from the fine
arts palace where Mikoyan
inaugurated the exposition.
The home assigned to Mi
koyan outside Havana, which
had been the plush mansion
of a leader of the ousted Ba
tista dictatorship, was under
heavy guard. Police at the
mansion refused to say
whether Mikoyan was in or
had left.

New York - (UPD - Barring
new severe wage concessions
this year the profits of the na
tion's class I railroads could
climb to $750 million.
Two separate studies by
Standard & Poor's Corp. and
the Value Line reached this
same conclusion.
If realized, such profits this
year would be some 3o per
cent above the $575 million
netted in 1959 when volume
was affected by the crippling
effects of the steel strike. Last
year's earnings were the low
est since the 1949 recession,
notes Standard & Poor's.
Accumulate Ford Motor and
General Electric on any fur
ther market weakness, Bache
& Co., suggests.
Joseph E. Granville of E. F.
Hutton & Co., says a strong
technical prop to the market
would be provided in the
event the short interest re
port shows a marked rise later
this month. "This would co
incide with expectations that
the market can look forward
to more sustainable rallies
sometime after mid-February.
Thus far, however, it would
appear that these rallies may
get started from lower mar
ket levels than are now current."

; GIFTS RECORDS n
Chamonix, France (UPD -French
and Italian construc
tion teams are racing each
other to be first at the half
way point in digging a tun
nel under France's highest
mountain.
They are building a seven
mile highway through Mont
Blanc, the 15,781-foot peak
that stands as a roadblock
between France and Italy.
When completed the tunnel
will cut the distance between
Paris and Rome by one-fifth.
The French believe they
have an edge over the Ital
ians. They pin their hopes on
"Jumbo," a 75-ton boring ma
chine built especially for the
Mont Blanc job at a cost of
$500,000.
Italian crews started on
their end of the tunnel a
year earlier than the French,
but the latter believe Jum
bo" will lead them to the
midway point ahead of their
.rivals- a ......
"I'll refuse my paycheck if
we don't reach the middle be
fore the Italians," says Robert
L. Thompson, a New York
city engineer working with
the French. ,
The central element of
"Jumbo" is an eight-inch steel
drill mounted on enormous
bars. Clustered around it are
14 smaller drills, and all are
driven pneumatically.
Holes bored by the drills
are stuffed with dynamite.
Then the big machine trun
dles backward on rails, the
workers clear away and the
dynamite is exploded. This
usually loosens about 750
tons of rock, and the process
is carried out three times a
day.
After blasting, "Jumbo"
moves back into drilling posi
tion while carts move back
and forth between its huge
legs to remove the loosened
rock.
Italy had a 500-yard head

a faster rate than the Ital
ians. Discussed 10 Years
It took 10 years of discus
sion between Italy and
France before they agreed to
build the tunnel which men
have dreamed about for 50
years. The project will cost
more than $30,000,000 and is
scheduled for completion in
1962.
The French asked the
American company, Inger-soll-Rand
to find the heavy
equipment needed to bore
through the mountain rock,
at some points 8000 feet be
low Alpine summits. A
French company at Lyons ac
tually built "Jumbo."
Foreign engineers are help
ing the French supervise
their operations, and views
are exchanged in seven lan
guages. Along with Thomp
son, another American expert
is ti. A. Anderson of Globe,
Ariz. " . '
Europe's Longest
Working with them are tech
nicians from all over Europe
-including Francis Marconi
of Venice, Torstein Mathiesen
of Oslo, Henry Parel of Zur
ich and Jules Jadot of Brussels.
The tunnel will be Europe's
longest for automobile traffic.
Motorists traveling from
France will enter it near this
famous ski resort and emerge
20 minutes later near the
town of Entreves in Italy.
The roadbed through the
tunnel will be 23 feet wide,
with an overhead clearance
of about 16 feet. Every 330
yards there will be turnouts
for cars in trouble, with tele
phones to summon help. To
defray the cost of the tunnel,
a toll probably will be
charged for its use.
European motorists will
have an all-year route
through the Alpsxvia the tun
nel. Now, many Alpine roads
are closed by snow in winter
months. This distance be
tween Paris and Rome
through the Rhone Valley
and the French and Italian
rivieras is 1,005 miles.
Through the Mont Blanc tun
nel it will be 880 miles.

ASKS HIGHER STANDARD

called on both labor and man
agement Sunday to follow a
higher standard of morality
than just good faith in ob
serving contracts. Unless la

Happy-Go-Lucky Life in Kenya
Dead After Five Years of War
Nairobi, Kenya (UPD The
happy-go-lucky life of pre
Mau Mau Kenya is dead. Five
years of barbarous civil war
killed it.
The need for a state of
emergency has passed, but
Kenya can never be quite the
same again.
Today the 55,000 white set
tlers living in the vast colony
have a more serious approach
to life. Reluctantly, they are
accepting the fact that no
handful of whites can survive
on their own terms in the
midst of six million blacks.
The simple truth of the
matter is that Kenya will
never again be a "white man's
country." White men will con
tinue to live here, but at best
only as one of several races
making up the tangled racial
skein of East Africa.
The visitor does not always
grasp this fact immediately.
He is dazzled by the mush
rooming office blocks, luxury
hotels and restaurants of Nair
obi. There are so many white
faces to be seen, so' many out
ward signs of English or
American-style living. It is
difficult to realize that this
bustling modern city is a
freak, a European island in an
African sea.
Must Go Further
To see the real Kenya, one
must go much farther afield,
to the fringes of the High
lands, the arid north or the
steamy coastlands where the
white population is thinly
spread and Africa takes over.
But even if Nairobi is not
typical, it is still the best
place to observe the new
spirit among the white set
tlers of Kenya. There are still
some diehards as rigid in their
racial attitudes as the South
African Nationalists. But on
the whole, the white Kenyan
is growing to accept the civil
ized African as at least a
junior partner. Ten years ago
such an attitude would have
been unthinkable.
As one Nairobi hostess put
it, "Even a few years Jgo if
anyone invited an African to
a cocktail party, he would
warn all the European guests
in advance. Now you just
take it for granted that when
ever you go to a business or
official party, there will be
non-European guests."
It is still rare for an African
to be invited to a private par
ty, but many Kenyans seem
resigned to the fact that this
will come too, in time.
Asians and Africans can
use the best hotels and res
taurants in Nairobi quite free-

LODGE MEETS KHRUSH

night at the Bolshoi Ballet
Theater where the two attend

ovsky's "Swan Lake." Lodge

during one of the intermis
sions, Tass news agency re
ported. WAR GAMES COSTLY
Burlengendeld, Germany -
(UPD- Nine persons were killed
and 46 others, including civil
ians and military personnel,
injured during the NATO
"Winter Shield" war games in
this area that ended Sunday.
The latest accident occurred
Sunday when a bus sideswiped
an American tank on a narrow
road near here, injuring 10
ly. In actuality, they seldom
do, partly for economic rea
sons, but the breaking down
of this color bar was an im
portant victory for multi-racialism.
No one seems to know ex
actly how many of the settlers
are genuine supporters of a
multi-racial society based on
the ideal of partnership.
One government official as
serted that "practically every
one" is liberal-minded, but a
businessman, more realistic,
said:
"I'd say that no more than
10 per cent of white Kenyans
are liberal at heart, but they
are practical about it. They
know they can't go on knock
ing their heads against a brick
wall. Probably 50 per cent
accept the changes more or
less willingly."
This is reflected in the
growth of political parties
based on the multi - racial
ideal. But the country's lead
ing African politician, Tom
Mboya, is an outspoken op
ponent of multi - racialism,
which he defines as " a society
in which various racial groups
live together and retain their
identities politically, econom
ically and socially."
'Undiluted Democracy'
Mboya's terms for the new
Kenya are simple: all racial
groups, European, Indian and
Arab, must amalgamate them
selves with the Africans. This,
Mboya says, is the only way
to attain "unlimited democ
racy." ,
The whites' tend to discount
Mboya as -a scheming, am
bitious politician - but there
is always an edge of nervous
ness to their denunciation.
They know the almost God
like prestige he enjoys with
so many Africans.
The general feeling Is that
Kenya faces a two or three
year period of political and
industrial unrest. But no one
predicts a return to the hid
eous, days of the Mau Mau.
That emergency is passing
into history, although its side
effects will be with the coun
try for many years.
But perhaps the most hope
ful sign of all in these first
days of post-Mau Mau Kenya
is that the settlers can talk of
the past seven years without
bitterness. When a white
Kenyan mentions the emer
gency, he does so with a sur
prising air of detachment. It
is rather like a patient de
scribing a horrible operation
that he had to undergo.
It was dreadful while it
lasted, but he has come out
of it a healthier man.
