Watkint IBtcl1" a: Tribune Syndicate, ISiill In the Day's News if FRANK JENKINS Interesting question: How did we come to deliver our ultimatum to Moscow to get out of Cuba OR ELSE? As related by Washington dispatches, it is a thrillina story. Here are some of its highlights: Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF A Small Event - A Tragedy, But Pert of Life in Woods What had happened during the night could plainly be recreated by the mute evi dence left on the litter of the woodland floor. Only a close scrutiny re-, vealed the disturbance of the leaves; a little pile of feathers, closely scattered. They were the color of the surroundings, as brown as the dry leaves: on some were tiny spots of red, that once was blood. Here In the litter of the leaf cover, unseen by human eyes and unrecorded in the history of the wild; had been enacted a tragedy. A little thing had been killed; a larger animal had feasted. 74 ....... -nltiHirnli ea;u In 11 Was Itloutvij J 1 Ua r-tnfti tnf a chflt"t t i S- ICdU lU fliuiji . " tance away was a small, packed-down circle where a covey of quail had bedded down for the night. It seemed evident the covey had slept undisturbed for several hours, as the imprint of their bodies in the grass was unmistak able. It must have been late in the night or a short time be fore dawn, when the hunting fox had detected the faint scent on the air. Carefully he had stalked, stepping lightly and delicately, so as to make the least possible sound. He may have taken considerable time in his approach, know ing well what game he was stalking and about where he would find them. It must be a frightening ex perience for a covey of quail, to be sound asleep and sud denly awakened by the rush ing attack of a hungry fox. The members of the covey, not actually struck by the furry projectile, explode in several directions into the air, in a mad senseless desire to get away. Not accustomed to flying by night and impelled by extreme fright, they crash into trees or fall exhausted to the ground where they at tempt to hide and wait for the mornine licht. snex struggle The one who was grabbed by the crushing jaws, strug gled for only a brief time; the teeth of the predator are ..the struggle and the pain, ine fox trotted but a short way; Vie flattened himself onto the 'ground at the edge of the woodland and greedily ate the 'quail. There was an imprint in 'the leaves, an elongated space where the grass had been de- pressea Willie lie lcaMeu. Already the grass blades were beginning to right them selves; a small brown feather adhered to one. The leaves with the bright ted stains were mixed in with the others, helping tell the story. Soon a wind would come "whispering through the for est, one by one it would toy with the feathers to eventual ly blow them all away. Each would become lost in the forest litter. Also, within a few days or weeks, it marie little difference which, a rain would fall upon the decom posing leaves, washing away the bright red stain. But even before that hap pens, somewhere the quail covey will reassemble; some where the fox is sleeping - in death there is life - it must be so. IMAGINE a strip of photo graphic film 20 to 30 feet wide and some SIX MILES long. The segments to form this fantastic film strip are brought back by our intelli gence planes flying over Cuba. They are put together as they come in. They are dat ed, so as to teil the story of what is happening from day to day. The patched-together film is then stretched across the floor. Photo analysts, on their hands and knees, crawl around on the pictures, peer ing at them through stereo microscopes and specially de signed magnifying glasses. They note any changes in terrain. Thev look for objects on the missile sites that were n't there the day before. What thev saw from day to day on these miles and miles of film told unerringly the story of what was happening in Cuba. The story, thus documented, led to the ultimatum to GET OUT. BECAUSE he knew that we knew what was going on, and because he knew that the information in our possession was too accurate to be doubt ed, Mr. Kroosh gave the order to GET out. That seems to be about the size of it. ANOTHER question: Whv did Mr. Kroosh de cide to GET OUT instead of fighting? COUPLE OF PROUD fathers were exchanging boasts about their offspring on a hotel verandah in the Cat- skills. "My two sons," averred one, "are the success stories of our whole neighbor hood. One is already a famous lawyer with clients who don't even blink at a $10,000 fee. The other one is the head obstetrician at the county hospital. What's more, both of them shower my wife and me with pres ents and attentions day in and day out." "Yah, yah," jeered the other lather, "All this sounds great but tell me, what do you do for aggravations?" OVERHEARD: At a downtown lunch counter: "My boss is so incompetent this restaurant refused to serve him the business man's lunch." Near M.I.T.: "My wife doesn't understand me. I'm a nuclear phvsicist." At the Authors' League: "Some novelist, that fellow! The best fiction he ever wrote was his last year's income tax return!" Off Broadway: "That man tosses money around like & boom erang." From an essay by Douglas Newton: "The worldwide fraternity of children is the greatest of savage tribes and the only one which shows no signs of dying out." C 163, by Bennett Cert.

ONE answer to that question is suggested by a Moscow dispatch which relates that Russian factory managers and economists have their doubts as to the efficiency of the com munist system of production as compared with the free n terprise system of production. These Communist econo mists and managers, Western diplomats in Moscow assert, have been calling for a NEW system, stimulated BY THE PROFIT MOTIVE. Such a sys tem, the Communist mana gers have been contending. must be developed in Russia I if enough goods are to be pro duced to enable the Commun ist world to hold up its end against the free world! FINAL question: Can we believe any this? Or is it just propaganda de signed to cause us to let down in our efforts and thus weak en ourselves to the point where we will be vulnerable? CRIME WITH COMFORT London HW W hen four burglars tied up night watch, man James Jordan, 66, Mon day night at his factory he complained it was cold. They carried him to a warmer room, lay him on a mat and gave him coffee and sand wiches before escaping with $580. ITS hard to say. Nobody knows what Communist really thinks. But, at any rate, Mr. Kroosh pulled in his horns when we told him flatly to get out or else! What we saw in Cuba led us to the ultimatum to GET OUT, and i Mr. Kroosh seems to be get ting out. That's what decisive action can do when it is backed by a big stick behind the door, ready to be used when needed.
