PAGE 2 A Editors, Fidel Castro To Hold Q And A Session WASHINGTON AP- A young nun nevtr lacking a quick answer meet today with a group never thort on questions. The twin bill: Fidel Castro and the American Society of Newspaper Kditors. The bearded, 32-year-old Prime Minister is making his (irst ad dress in the United States since he gained power in Cuba. A ques-tion-and-answer period follows. Questions were expected on the executions of more than 500 mili tary and police officials of Cuba's ousted Batista government, the suspension of some civil rights and reports that Castro is exposed to Communist influence inside and outside his government. Tribe Buries Aged Chief THE DALLES, Ore. (AP)-The Wy-Am Indian Tribe buried its aged chief, Tommy Thompson, Thursday on a bluff overlooking the Columbia River. The cemetery was near what once was Celilo Falls, valued Wy Am fishing grounds before it was Inundated by the pool behind The Dalles Dam. Thompson, who calculated he was 10S, died Sunday. He had fought to prevent construction of the dam that destroyed the falls. Some 400 persons watched as the cedar casket was lowered in to the grave, along with mocca sins, a drum and a bell, tribal members said was to ward off evil spirits. An hand-carved yellow wooden bird, which Chief Tommy called his message bird, was placed on pole looking east from atop the grave.

Officers of ASNE yield' ed to protests that tha society long an ardent, champion of press freedom was in this case "denying freedom of access to the news. All networks are being allowed to set up cameras and sound equipment to record the Castro appearance for later broadcast. But it was understood that no di rcct broadcast! of the speech were planned. Castro complained Thursday to newsmen that the United States press continued to print distortions about mm including the reoort that his appearance would be picketed. However, there were a few young people at the airport with anti-lastro banners when the Cu ban leader arrived Wednesday night. And Thursday a group with such banners paraded outside the hotel where the editors were meeting. some of the banners read "Fidel Castro Red Puppet," "Reds Dig ging In U.S. Back Yard With Help of Castro and "Fidel Newest Dictator in Western Hemisoere." But in his travels around the city, Castro was greeted almost everywhere with applause, cheers and smiles, in the afternoon he spent more than an hour chat ling with high school students and playing with children in a park near the Cuban Embassy. Castro s only official engage ment Thursday was lunch with Acting Secretary of State Chris tian A. Herter. The appearance at the ASNE meeting was his only engagement for today.

His expected talks with high Soviet officials may help to set the stage tor a sum mit conference. His designation by President Ei senhower to make the trip also could promote Nixon's chances for the Republican presidential nom ination next year. A White House announcement at Augusta. Ga., said Nixon will make the trip to open an Ameri can exhibition in Moscow July 25. No other details were given but diplomatic officials were sure he would meet with Premier NiKita Khrushchev. The six-week exhibition is de signed to show Soviet citizens how Americans live, lhe Soviets will stage a similar exhibition in New York City. Eisenhower said in a statement that the purpose of the exhibition is to develop broader understand ing between the American and So viet peoples "the kind of mutual understanding upon which our peaceful luture depends." II Nixon demonstrates a capac ity to deal effectively with Soviet leaders it could give him a boost in his unannounced quest for the presidency in 1960. At a minimum Evidence From Experiment Shows Gout-Genius Link ATLANTIC CITY, KJ.

Red Capital; it will focus attention on him in the months leading up to selection of the Republican nominee. Internationally, the trip means a new round of high-level con tacts, following 'up the January visit here of Soviet Deputy Pre mier Anastas 1. Mikoyan. Presumably one of Nixon's pur poses, will be to demonstrate to the Soviet peoples a triendly American interest in. them.- He is expected to emphasize a United States desire for better relations Nixon now plans to remain in Moscow three or lour days. He seems assured of red carpet treatment. His time in the country might be extended. Presumably also he may visit other capitals. His trip is timed to fall between the scheduled Big Four foreign ministers meeting at Geneva and a probable summit conierence in late summer, perhaps in August. He will have an opportunity to dis- cuss pending questions in advance of the summit gathering. Nixon will be the first high-rank ing U.S. official to visit the Soviet Union in many years. Secretary of State George C. Marshall was there for a foreign ministers meeting on German and Austrian problems in 1947. ciated with higher-than-normal in telligence. Dr. Dewitt Stetten Jr. and Dr. John Hearson, of the National In stitute of Arthritis and Metabolic Diseases, told a scientific meeting here that their research was an attempt to confirm this impres sion, long held by various scien tists. Scientifically gout is associated with increased amounts of uric acid in the blood and with periodic aching in one of the joints of the body, often in the feet. The research project described today to the closing session of the 43rd annual meeting of the Fed eration of American Societies for Experimental Biology ran this way: The scientists measured the uric acid concentrations of blood sam pies which had been 'routinely taken from a group of 817 succes sive inductees at Ft. Dix, N.J. Then they obtained the scores achieved by the same men on the Army Classification Battery ACB a group of tests designed to measure general intelligence as well as special aptitudes of inter est to the armed forces. ' The upshot: "There was a "small but defi nite correlation between the scores achieved on the intelligence lest and the concentration of uric acid in the blood. That is, the high er the uric acid, the more likely it was that the individual had achieved a higher-than-normal score on the ACB. The researchers said there were two alternative conclusions that could be drawn: 1. That Increased amounts of uric acid in the blood tend to pro mote intelligence; or 2. That successful people are prone to eat a diet richer than usual in certain chemicals that are uric acid producers. The latter alternative, of course, would rule out intellectual func tioning as regards gout. But the scientists appeared to w placing their bets on the first alternative. Fair Housing Plans Told PORTLAND (API A con;pre hensive plan was compiled Thurs day to provide accommodations in private homes for summer Cen tennial visitors here. The Multnomah County Center! nlal Assn., Inc., drew up the nlan jointly with city, county and state health and legal authorities. In the hear future the associa tion honet to make public stand ards home owners must meet to qualify. After a survey tha commission said Portland could accommodate 15.000 guests a day in hotels, mo tels and other commercial hous ing, but estimated the number ol visitors could reach 20.000 a day at the height of the Centennial Tests Indicate Cucumber Really Anything But Cool PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Is a cucumber really cool? Qoes any one actually get warm as toast? Are a redhead s Hps as hot as song and fable tell us? To find the answers to sucn questions a test-engineering team, with a newsman s help, applied scientific know-how to many a familiar saying and analogy. It was done with devices for taking temperatures in all sorts of places. Put to serious purposes, the tester is a boon to business and industry. It was developed by Leeds and Northrup Co., makers of electrical goods. Tests showed 'a cucumber was anything but cool as the old saw suggests. Inside it tested at 68.9 degrees, its skin 71.6. Nobody could be as warm as toast is at first 167 degrees. Within a few minutes, the tem perature drops to 78 or 79, but veteran countermen say that isn't what's meant by warm toast.

Organist Hits Instruments PORTLAND (AP) More and more people -are being introduced to organ music played both with the hands and feet, a New York City organist here for a concert said Thursday. Virgil Fox, 41, appears tonight at the First Baptist Church un der the auspices of the American Guild of Organists. "Those stinky little electrics have introduced more people to music played by hands and tcet, said Fox of electric organs, ap parently showing a preference for reed and pipe organs. "It's like something wonderful entering into the kitchen with dirt on its feet, he added. Ever wonder just how hot that news is rolling fresh and fragrant off the presses? Typical front page temperature was 82. This was 8 to 10 degrees above room tem perature. As for a redhead's lips, a sam riling taken outdoors on a mild day fluttered to only 92 degrees. The cold shoulder that a model gave was 95.7, identical with the collar temperature of a taxi driver be fore he headed into traffic in a congested area. After about a half hour's driving, the cabbie was only slightly hot under the collar. tils steam had gone to 95.9. The hottest jazz that a radio sta tion could play was somewhat less than a scorching 85. A cold chisel tested in an unhealed hardware store was 74.3, a bit less than a degree warmer than straight vod ka taken in a bar where the mer cury averaged 76. The hottest mustard going was 68. exactly what it was in a sub urban cooler, or jail. A green pep per served as a relish was 67.1: a red one 68.9, evidently proving that red does attract and hold heat this 1MMSTOIP STOW And Parade Of Quartets Pelican Theatre Reserved Seats On Sale At Derby's Music Co.
