Rafael Tru- jillo is out of power, The Florida Democrat said "We have evidence" that these plans are being made in Cuba right now. Smathers made the state' ment while discussing the de cision of the organization of American States to break off diplomatic relations with Tru lillo's regime. He said he would be in favor of Trujlllo's fall from power if there was any assurance that he would be replaced "By Democracy bucIi as we have In Florida, oi New York, or Maryland."

But he said It would be the height of absurdity to let Cuba's Fidel or Raul Castro take over the Dominican Re public. ; "Then you've lost Haiti, and then Venezuela, and then you've lost the whole Carib bean area," he said. Smathers came out In favor of breaking off diplomatic re lations with Cuban regime im mediately. He said he thought such action would help lead to castro s downfall, Confused on Stand "Other 'Latin American countries are greatly confused by where we stand," he said, They do not understand why the United States maintains an ; ambassador In Havana when Castro continually hurls aouse at tnis country,, "and snows , contempt for ' every thing we stand for."

He said his biggest argu ment against the state depart ment was that officials kept arguing that there is some hope, or prospect,- of getting Castro away from the Com munist line. This, he said, is wrong, :, , Overthrow From Within The senator said he thought the only place Castro could be overthrown was from with in. He said no outside gov ernment should assist In up setting the government of any Latin American country.

BECHTOLD UPI Financial Edl.or New York - (UPD - The rail roads are not the only ones that stand to benefit from the merger trend in that indus try. -The nation's shippers are expecting t o reap appreci able benefits from these marriages. The biggest Henry Bechtold benefit will be the faster movement of freight at lower rates through the rescheduling and elimina tion of duplicate lines and facilities. Additional savings to the shippers will come from the better i service the bigger, healthier rail lines will offer, and the increased use of auto mation and modern equip ment developed through the merger railroad's stepped-up research spending. Railroad mergers are being pursued vigorously with a total of 22 lines now involved in talks. The most recent con solidation is the one between the Erie and the Delaware. Lackawanna & Western which becomes effective Oct. 17. Competition Cut The effects of this merger, according to Purchasing Week magazine, would be that dupli cate lines from Buffalo, N.Y. to s points leading into New England will be abandoned, with only the shorter Erie run to Maybrook, N.Y. maintain ed, i ' ; Duplicate freight yards in Binghamton and Elmira, N.Y., also will be abandoned, and a new electronic yard will be built in Buffalo where the two lines will be merged. There will be no duplication of trains, and more frequent runs-will be rescheduled on the same route. ' The magazine Dolnterl nut that "two-road" rates for such commodities as gravel and cement will be reduced. And' better service should result from ; the expansion of the more than 30 Erie and 27 Lackawanna sales offices to 100 offices for the mprepri line.' 'i-. ...':( : : i . .-. The relative sDeed. whieh the Erie-Lackawanna and the Virginian Norfolk & Western mergers were completed has led to hopes that a number of other railroad consolidations would be consummated quick ly. Other Forthcoming Mergers V The most important merger talks now going on are be tween the Baltimore & Ohio, Rallies Planned . Washington- HJPD -The Na tional Volunteers for Nixon Lodge plan to stage "Opera tion Freedom" rallies during the last week in October. The rallies, coordinated by former Maryland Governor Theodore McKeldon and John Richardson Jr., will be kick ed off with a meeting on Oct, 23-commemorating the 1056 Hungarian revolution. Another event will be a marathon run from New York to Washington by an Iron Curatin refugee who '. will carry a "Leadership for Free dom" scroll.. The scroll will be in behalf of the 35 million citizens of foreign-birth and their families, the Volunteers said. .;--'; -. The runner is scheduled .to deliver the scroll to Vice President Richard M. Nixon. Device Opens New Field for Blind Portland -(UPD- A device which opens a new field of employment opportunity for the blind has been developed by two engineers-here. The device' permits opera tion or any telephone switch board., by a sightless person. It was developed by Harry R. Banks and Charles Nickerson of Pacific Telephone - North west... -. (-.. It is called the "Bell Tele Braille." The unit translates information normally seen by a switchboard attendant into Braille codes which can be swiftly "read" through touch by a sightless person. COMMON TONGUE The common ' toueue Egypt is the Arabic. of New York Central and ths' Chesapeake & Ohio. Such a consolidation could eliminate at least one of their three port ' terminals at- Baltimore,- Nor folk and New York, 1,200 miles of duplicate track, and numerous duplicate stations." According to the magazine, coal producers say they can save $1 a ton , if the C&O takes over maintenance of the B&O. The Interstate ' Commerce Commission now is consider ing a merger of the Seablard and the Atlantic Coast Lines, which would save the two lines an estimated $38 million per year. The proposed end-to-end merger of the Chicago, Bur lington & Quincy, the Great Northern, the Northern Pa cific, and the Spokane, Port land & Seattle would prob ably . eliminate all inter changes from Chicago to points in the Northwest. Purchasing Week quoted the consulting engineer of the Erie merger as saying this merger trend means that the cm ux iiiier-iHuruHU cumpeu- tion has ended. "The roads no longer have a monopoly on transportation and their pr'ob- , lem is to meet the competi--tion of other forms of trans portation." . - THE DANMOORE HOTEL . 1217 SW Moirlion St. DrSDTI Akin ABBMLI All transient guests.
