Thousands Trod
iSidewalks in
Search of Jobs
Editor'j note: This ii the last ot
.three dispatches on the Cuban
,iciuficc iiruuiem in Miami.
By RICHARD W. HATCH
I Miami - OJPU - Blonde, well
dressed Georgina fumbled
"with dark glasses to hide her
Itear-rimmed eyes. She whis--pered
as she told how her
husband "walks and walks all
May to see if he can get a job."
: The odds are against him.
; Her husband, Carlos, is a
Cuban refugee who doesn't
.speak English. Like other
.thousands of the 45,000 refu
gees in Miami, he shuffles the
"sidewalks looking for work.
" Georgina and Carlos, who
fear to have their full names
published lost first their auto
mobile agency and then their
Restaurant in Camaguey to the
government of Fidel Castro.
They gave up an 11-room
house with servants,
j They are among the second
wave of Cuban refugees wash
ing into Florida since Castro
seized power Jan. 1, 1959.
The first to flee were officials
and friends of the fallen gov
ernment of Fulgencio Batista.
Many of them arrived here
rich, most of them hated.
As Castro's political revolu
tion veered left into a social
revolution, professional men,
management personnel, busi
nessmen, military defectors,
white collar workers and fi
nally some plain laborers fled.
Sister Sends Fare
Georgina and her three chil
dren, ages 11, 10 and 7, flew
to Miami a month ago. A sis
.ter here sent them airplane
tickets.
"I came with $67 hidden in
a toothpaste tube," she said.
Carlos came Nov. 29 with
the S5 allowed legally by
Castro.
" Georgina said her sister
gave her $75 toward her first
month's apartment rent of
$100. She still owes $25 on
the month.
- She said several welfare
agencies refused to advance
the money unless she moved
Into a cheaper apartment.
"This is not what we were
used to," she said.
Georgina's sister and brother-in-law
both work, and make
S80 a week together. The sis
ter doesn't think she will be
able to continue giving Geor
gina $25 a week.
Like Georgina, most of the
refugees are cared for by
friends and family among
Miami's permanent Latin col
ony. And like Georgina's sis
.tcr, many are reaching the
end of their ability to help.
"We have reached the satu
ration point," said Anthony
"de Varona, head of the anti
;Castro Cuban Democratic
"Revolutionary Front.
"I cannot say how many of
the refugees have got jobs. A
'great number have jobs, but
that's reaching the point of
saturation, too."
: Sister Miriam, administra
tor of the Spanish Center at
Gesu Church, said the center
lias succeeded in finding only
500 jobs for 3,200 Cubans
families registered there in a
year.
Cesar Lancis, second vice
president of an exile Cuban
labor federation here, sadly
admitted his organization has
found only "150 or 200 jobs"
since it began late in 1960.
Some Are Exploited
Lancis said a few American
employers are exploiting Cu
ban labor. He said he knew of
Cubans hired as dressmakers
for 75 cents an hour beside
Americans doing the same
work for $1.15 and $1.25.
There are 300 refugee Cu
ban doctors in Miami, none
of them able to practice medi
cine. Professional men and form
er government officials have
taken jobs as waiters, dish
washers and handymen.

wants to resettle the refugees
in other cities to relieve the
pressure on Miami. But some
Cuban leaders think the men
won't leave Miami.
Many Cuban women work
as domestics. JWrs. Minerva
Aguado supports her 16-year-old
daughter, Juana, and a
family friend, Josephina Ba
lido, 20, as a maid. She works
four eight-hour days a week at
$6 a day. The rent on her
clean, cheerful three - room
apartment in southwest Miami
is $55 a month.
Juana is in the 8th grade,
one of 125 refugee children at
Ada Merrit Jr. Elementary
school.
Josephina, pretty with dark
hair and a bright smile, also
works as a domestic - two
days a week cleaning house
for 80 cents an hour. She
sends $30 a month to her
father in Havana, an out-of-work
coffee salesman.
"It doesn't leave much for
me," she said.
Tighter Laws Asked
On Debris Burning
Salem - ItlPD - The Oregon
board of forestry is asking the
1961 legislature to tighten
laws on burning of debris. The
proposed restrictions would
primarily affect garbage
dumps which in the past sev
eral years have been charged
with starting a number of bad
forest fires.
The board also suggests that
the state department of for
estry s name be officially
designated "state forestry de
partment. The department
actually has no official name
and such designation would
prevent confusion, the board
said,
A third proposal would
raise the fee for rehabilitation
of private timber lands with
out proper reseeding pro
visions to $25 per acre. The
fee now is $16 an acre.
Woolworlh Workers
Receive 'W Cards
Three retiring F. W. Wool
worth company employees
were presented with "Dia
mond W" cards recently at a
surprise farewell party held
for them in the downtown
Medford store.
Receiving the cards were
Mrs. Letlia Clark, Mrs. Carrie
Hooker and Mrs. Madge Now
lin. The cards entitle them to
shop in any Woolworth store
and receive a 10 per cent dis
count on merchandise.
All three women had spent
a number of years with the
Medford store. They said that
they have no immediate plans
for the future except to "sit
back and enjoy the retire
ment years."

OF SMITH & MEN
By Jack Smith

Sometimes the human eye
prys into secrets it was never
meant to see.
Ever since Christmas, when
the microscope entered our
house, I've had the feeling of
having gone too far. We seem
to have sunk into the twilight
zone.
The place is a laboratory.
The mechanical eye has illu
minated the subliminal world
we live in. Our placid sanc
tuary is in reality a jungle
in which the most primitive
blobs of organic matter are
waging a cannibalistic strug
gle for survival.
Even our supposedly anti
septic kitchen has been ex
posed as a primeval swamp.
I have seen things I wish
I hadn't.
The other evening, for ex
ample, Doug called me over
to his work table to have a
look at something he had in
focus. He has given up major
league baseball for pure sci
ence. I squinted into the eye
piece. What I saw squirming
in the light looked like a
transparent fountain pen with
a plastic gizzard and two tails.
It was thrashing about like
a belly dancer.
"Good Lord!" I whispered.
"What's that?"
"I'm not sure," said young
Pasteur. "Its either a rotifer
or a rhizopod, unless it's an
amoeba."
"Where did you find him?"
I demanded.
"In the flower bowl on the
cocktail table," he said.
"There are millions in there.
They divide like crazy."
I summoned my wife. "Do
you know," I asked her, "that
your flower bowl is a dividing
place for millions of foul mi
crobes?" She threw out the chrysan
themums and the infested wa
ter and washed the bowl.
"It won't do any good, Pa."
said Doug. "They'll be back.
They drop down in the dust.
Like paratroopers."
Later on I came across a
damp heel of bread in a sau
cer on the sink.

I detest a moldy kitchen.

Chief of Marines
Frowns on Yellow
Socks, Fat Marines
Washington ffi The Ma
rine Corps commandant, who
already has frowned on swag
ger sticks and close-order
drill, now has come out
against yellow socks, fat Ma
rines, yes men, and unbelted
coats.
n a 17-page annual mes
sage, which read more like a
down-to-earth pep talk than
the usual military document,
Gen. David M. Slump also
said that Marines somctimei
"fall below our usual high
standards."
He mentioned, as an ex
ample, the sort of officer
whose uniform "looks like it
belonged to some one who re
tired in 1940."
"A few of these people are
still around," Shoup said.
"We must do something about :
them. ,
The commandant said slop-
pincss can "chip away at Ma
rine Corps stature. He said
if the day ever came when a
Marine looked upon his role
as only a job "we are headed '
for the Smithsonion Institute
as another relic."
On the subject of unbelted
coats, Shoup said a proposal
for an unbelted uniform is
before him but he has decided
to reject it. He hasn't made up j
his mind as yet about a pro-,
posal for a "year - a r o u n d
green uniform," he added.
On yes men, the command-,
ant said that a Marine who
would give up his own ideas I
"to align with me, before my
decision, is useless to me.
Shoup did not explain his,
remark about "yellow socks," j
but presumably his aversion
would apply to any unduly
loud attire.
His other aversions includ
