Cuban Premier Fidel Ca

wild-eyed denunciation of the
United Slnlei for sloshing
Cuba's sugar quota Wednes
day. Exodus Stepped Up
There has been a big ex
odus nf American residents
from Cubn In the past year,
reducing from 6,000 to about
3.000 the number left here.
Hut In the fnc of worsening
Cuban-American relations,
the exodus Is being stepped
up, with private companies
getting their employees and
families out of the country
even though the U.S. Embas
sy is not urging Americans to
leave.
In an angry pout-midnight
two-hour speech before the
closing session nf the Metal
Workers Union Congress, Cas
tro said Wednesday night the
United States slashed the
Cuban sugar quota In a "fren-
r.v 01 nail;.
' Flnt Reaction
This was his first public
reaction to President Elsen
hower's action in cutting the
sugar quota. Castro declared
that the "real fight" is Just
starting with the United
States. He charged that Wash
ington waa trying to run
Cub and ruin its economy.
But Castro surprised soma
observers by falling to an

Area Unemployed
Higher Than It
Was a Year Ago
Migrants seeking new I oca
lions owoy from large centers
of population are finding it
hard to find Jobs In this arcu
at the present time, according
to John J. Potion, manogcr of
the Medford office of the
state employment service.
The migration from out of
stole, he said, continues to be
heavy, but relatively few of
them are able to locate here
because of the employment
situntlon.
The number of unem
ployed In Jackson county,
Patlon said, Is higher than
It was a year ago, when Jobs
were plentiful and rapidly in
creasing. Current unemployment, he
added, Is not from any one
Industry, but has Its source In
terminations scattered among
nearly all kinds of business,
with no large amount from
any one source.
Good wenther throughout
June created a favorable con
dition for an increase In out
door work, and to some ex
tent this Increase occurred, he
said. It was partially offset
by numerous brief shutdowns
In the plywood and lumber
Industry.
Construction did not pick
up much except for resump
tion of work on highway-con-tracts
Patton noted. Housing
construction remained slow,
and many plans for new com
mercial construction have
been announced,, but as yet
few of the project are under
wy.
Agricultural work ha not
orovldcd the usual number of
Job because of the small
amount of thinning in orch
ards, he said. While the over
all fruit crop Is good, there
has not been an extra heavy
set of fruit -which requires
thinning.
"All of this," Patton said,
"resulted In less hiring than
usual, June proved to be a
somewhat dis appointing
month from the standpoint of
the Job seeker."

The cause of ZPG3W's crash

Even as two separate Navy

the cause of the collapse and
sinking of the lighter-than-air
