Brookings Boat
Brookings - (UPI) - A 45-foot
commercial crab boat, the

The craft was anchored
down to the beach by two
tractors. One wave apparently
damaged the rudder and left it
helpless at sea before it was
washed up. The boat is owned
by Jack Nelson of Brookings.

Try and Stop Me
By BENNETT CERF
TjiRITZ LOEWE, composer of "My Fair Lady" and "Lance-
lot", was so impoverished in the Depressed Thirties,
that he couldn't pay a $12 installment on his rented piano.
When three stalwarts ar
rived to repossess the in
strument, Loewe pleaded,
"Let me play just a little
longer on it." So the three
men sat down on the
floor while Loewe gave
them a concert of Beeth
oven and Chopin. When
he stood up, the men did
too, then reached into
their pockets and gave
him the twelve dollars
that enabled him to hang
onto the piano for an
other month.
"Only in America," insists Loewe gratefully, "could such
a thing like that happen."
Historians Insist, a teacher reminded his class, that the British
lost the Revolutionary War battle of Saratoga because their
dapper General William Howe chose to remain in Philadelphia.
When one of the students, therefore, was asked to explain Bri
tain's defeat at Saratoga on his final examination, he wrote
simply, "Lack of no Howe."

John Rickart, the veteran
seaman who rode the bobbing

wife.
The Pine Ridge broke in

captain and six crewmen were
lost when the bow section
went under, but 29 crewmen
aboard the stern were saved
when the rear section stayed
afloat.
Newsmen were not allowed
on board when the stern sec
tion docked, ending a pitch
ing, swaying journey that be
gan last Friday when two tugs
got lines aboard. One tug. the
Curb, pulled while the other,
the Lambert's Point, acted as
a drag to reduce the severe
pitching.
Four crewmen from the

Cuba Promised
Factories, Loans
From Communists
Havana (IIPII Maj. Ernesto
(C h e) Guevara, Argentine
born economic czar of Cuba,
says his recent tour of the
Communist world produced
promises of at least 124 factor
ies and $50 million in loans
from Communist countries.
An account of Guevara's
mission published Monday by
the pro-government n e w s
papcr Revolucion said Russia
alone plans to build 100 indus
trial plants in Cuba under the
terms of a trade agreement
which is expected to make the
Kremlin this country s ma
jor economic partner."
Factories From China
Revolucion said Guevara
also expects Red China to in
stall 24 factories. Czechoslo
vakia has promised a $40 mil
lion loan which will be used
for still more factories and
East Germany has promised
to lend $10 million, the offi
cial paper said.
In addition, Revolucion
said, Cuba expects to sell at
least 4 million tons of sugar
to the Communists at prices
above the world market if the
United States persists in its
refusal to buy Castro's sugar
at premium prices.
It was uncertain whether
the Castroltes could expect to
pick up much actual cash
from their trade with the
Reds. The terms of the Soviet
trade agreement in particular
suggested that it would follow
the traditional Russian pat
tern of virtual barter dealings
with little cash changing
hands.
