International Experience
Required Of Politicos
WASHINGTON (AP;-The pro
posed series of summit meetings
may cause both parties to put a
premium on international experi
ence In the choice of their 1960
presidential nominees.
President Eisenhower, . along
with the heads of Britain and
I ranee, spoke of the desirability
of a series of summit meetings
Monday as they formally proposed
a meeting with Soviet Premier Ni
kita Khrushchev in Paris in April.
If the Soviet Union agrees, the
timing of any subsequent sessions
would be dictated in part by the
progress made in the original Big
Four talks.
. But politicians here are of the
general opinion that if the Allied
idea is carried out, the next presi
dent may find himself involved
shortly after his inauguration in
what could be a decisive meeting
with the other heads of states.
State Crops
Reach Value
Of $2 Billion
. SACRAMENTO (UPI) Cali
fornia crops reached a record val
ue of nearly two billion dollars
this year, according to the Cali
fornia Crop and Livestock Report
ing Service.
. The agency said Monday that
the new high of $1,925,135,000 was
8 per cent above 1958 and 14 per
.cent higher than the 1950-57 aver-"ege.
Last week, the reporting service
said that a record 31,921,700 tons
were harvested in California in
1959.
Heavier production accounted
for most of the increase in value
the agency said, as average
prices for many crops were lower
than in 1958.
The service cautioned that crop
value estimates could not be
equated with income to farmers.
The value of crops is the gross
value and includes all the farm
er's production expenses. In re
cent years, the agency said, two
dollars of every three received
"by farmers have gone to meet
production costs.
. Iri a more detailed breakdown
of production figures, the service
found:
' Field crops: Production hit a
record 18,276,100 tons in 1959,
per cent larger than the previous
year. Record yields were estab
lished for wheat, oats, grain, sor
ghum, flaxseed, cotton and sugar
beets. Field crop values increased
13 per cent over 1958, and at $910,-
250,000 approached the record lev
el of 946 million dollars set in
1952. California's cotton crop this
year was valued at $345,762,000.
Fruits and nuts: Production
-reached 7,658,600 tons, up 21 per
" cent from the light 1958 crop. This
.year's production was close to the
record of 7,768.600 tons and the
state's fifth largest. All crops
were larger than last year, and
new record highs were recorded
for Bartlett pears and nectarines.
Grape production was the fourth
largest in history. Tree nut pro
duction set a new record, with al
mond production almost double
the average. The aggregate value
of fruits and nuts was $572,427,000,
only 4 per cent above 1958 but 19
per cent more than average.
Vegetables and melons: Com
bined production of vegetables,
melons and strawberries was
down 5 per cent from 1958 mostly
because of the reduction in pro
duction of processing tomatoes,
however, 1959 production of 5.987,
000 tons was the third largest of
record. Aggregate value of vege
table and melon crops set a new
! record in 19M of $442,458,000, 5
per cent above 1958 values.
This is likely to emphasize at
both July conventions the possi
bility that the party may be nom
inating the man who will have to
deal with Khrushchev in efforts
to end the cold war.
Part of Vice President Richard
LI. Nixon's current popularity is
attributed in many quarters to the
way he handled himself in his
widely publicized "kitchen de
bate" with Khrushchev in Moscow.
Nixon also sat in on some of the
Eisenhower-Khrushchev talks dur
ing the Soviet Premier's visit to
this country.
New York Gov. Nelson A. Rock
efeller, a potential rival for the
GOP nomination, had a brief
meeting with Khrushchev in New
York during the tour.
Both Rockefeller and Nixon
have been under attack from the
Soviets. Khrushchev classed Nix
on as one of those he said didn't
want to end the cold war. Pravda
the authoritative Moscow organ
recently jumped on Rockefeller
after he said Soviet policy, backed
by military power, threatened the
very existence of the United
States.
While they might benefit from
any summit agreement upholding
Eisenhower's prestige as a peace
maker, Nixon and Rockefeller are
satisfied to have it known they are
wary of Khrushchev's motives
and tactics.
This wariness is shared by
Democratic hopefuls who believe
that Khrushchev is going to dem
onstrate at the summit an unwill
ingness to yield any major con
cessions on Berlin and other trou
ble spots.
Sen. Hubert Humphrey (D
Minn), who had an eight-hour talk
with Khrushchev in the Kremlin
last year, already is taking the
line that the Eisenhower adminis
tration has been "too easy" with
the Soviets. He contends a Demo
crat as president would offer
Stiffer competition" for Khrush
chev.
Among the Democrats, Adlai E,
Stevenson has been the most con
spicuous Khrushchev conferee.
The two-time presidential nominee
met with Khrushchev in Moscow
last year and had one of the few
informal talks Democrats man
aged to get in with the Soviet
Premier on his American tour.

MIAMI BEACH (S'EA) - There
is not going to be an invasion of
Cuba by anti-Castro forces.
At least not yet.
After conferences with members
of the large, but disparate under

nessmen with large holdings in
Cuba, I can report:
1. Business money Is waiting to
back a sure winner and none has
yet appeared on the horizon.
2. So, with no resources to make
any kind of move, the anti-Castros
are forced to watch, wait and con
solidate inside and out of Cuba.
3. Meanwhile, Castro himself
comes ever closer to what his
enemies are certain is the end of
the road.

Ruling Hit
By Sheriff
PORTLAND (AP) - Sheriff
Francis Lambert said Monday if
his legal advisors approve, he will
go into court to upset a Multno
mah County Civil Service Com
mission ruling that a shift he
made in top brass was illegal.
Lambert named Jack Matthews,
former jail superintendent, his
chief deputy,, and Capt. Gordon
Auborn, captain of the uniformed
division, as chief of the criminal
division.
The union that embraces the
sheriff's deputies contested the
switch on the grounds both had
been jumped from one division
into another and over the' heads
of men who had seniority in the
departments.
The union also contended a civil
service examination should have
been held for the posts. They did
not contest the other phases of
the switch, in which the two depu
ties who held the high posts were
moved to others.
Lambert said he considered the
public interest "required that the
sheriff, who is by law responsible
for the actions of his deputies,
should have the power to assign
such . deputies to positions which
he felt they could competently fulfill."
Poison Peril
In Milk
Diminishes
WASHINGTON (UPI) Gov
ernment scientists said today that
the danger of milk contamination
by insect killers such as DDT is
being reduced.
Their statement followed publi
cation of a 1958 government sur
vey showing that some milk in
11 cities across the nation was
tainted with substantial amounts
of pesticides containing chlorine
A spokesman for the Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) said
there was no evidence the insect
killers cause cancer in humans.
But he said the milk contamina
tion was a problem "worth work
ing on."
The scientists credited two de
velopments with cutting down the
risk of milk being contaminated
by use of the pesticides on cat
tle feeds and in storage barns
They said the FDA has warned
the dairy industry it would crack
down on any sales of impure milk
in interstate commerce and
educational drive among dairy
men also has been effective.
The FDA report Monday said
milk samplings conducted in 1958,
showed a definite reduction over
the previous three years in the
incidence of milk tainted with the
insect killers.
Scientists said there probably
has been a further dip since last
year.
Of the 936 samples tested in
the four-month survey of 17 cities
in 1958, substantial amounts of
the chemicals were found in 28
samples.
The contamination showed up in
some milk in these cities: Wash
ington; Providence, R. I.; Buffa
lo, N. Y.; Cincinnati: Denver;
Wichita, Kan.; New Orleans; New
York; Trenton, N.J.; San Fran
cisco, and Seattle.
Cities which were surveyed but
turned up no trace of milk con
tamination were Atlanta; Chica
go; Minneapolis; Los Angeles; St.
Louis, and Camden, N.J.

Invasion By Anti-Castro Forces Unlikely
here, all of whom seem to have
the same information, every move
by Castro is well-planned and car
ries the seeds of his destruction
to wit:
His board of experts and ad
visers are anti-American Puerto
Ricans, Venezuelans and Yugo
slavs, schooled in mob psychology
and eager for action throughout the
Caribbean and South America.
With a show of Cuban approval
behind him, underground informa
tion says. Castro shortly will make
a tour of neighboring countries to
stir up feelings against the U.S.
At home, he will keep the re
volution boiling by feeding more
defectors and critics to firing
squads, and by promising to arm
his followers.
"These are the traditional lac
tics of dictators," an old Batista
henchman says, "but they do not
work among the Latins. I know
I have seen what works."
And so, underground joy can
hardly be contained at the sight
of more than enough rope in Ha
vana. The delight reads as follows:
The forced resignation of
Castro's chosen president, Manuel
I'rrutia, was acceptable to Cubans
on Castro's say so. I I'rrutia had
indicated the administration had
been infiltrated by Communists.)
The flight into exile of Castro's

Adopt Son
LOS ANGELES (AP)-Rep. and

The child is six months old. He
has been with the Roosevelts since
he was three days old.
Roosevelt and his wife, Irene

The son of the late President
Franklin Delano Roosevelt form
erly was married to Betsey Cush-
ing and Romelle Schneider. He
has two sons and a daughter by
his first marriage. Both ended in
divorce.

Uncle Sam
Wants Stamps
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Uncle
Sam has ordered the 100.000 gov
ernment drivers to stop pocketing
trading stamps when they buy
gas and oil at his expense. He
wants the stamps himself.
The General Services Adminis
tration (GSA), the government s
housekeeping agency which issued
the directives, did not say wnat
Uncle Sam would do with the
stamps.
Officials of GSA and the Gen
eral Accounting Office were said
to be considering a possible deal
with the trading stamp companies
wherebv the government could
turn in the stamps for a cash set
tlement instead of merchandise.

Mrs. Emerson, who came here

"That's the secret of long life.
Eat most everything raw."

FTC Invites
Complaints
WASHINGTON (UPI) Con
sumers were invited today to take
their complaints about phony bar
gains and other deceptive selling
methods directly to the govern
ment for action.
Officials of the Federal Trade
Commission (FTC) issued the in
vitation at the end of their first
Christmas-weck ettort to wise up
the buying public on "trickery in
the market place.
The two-day conference, attend
ed by representatives of 47 civic,
professional and welfare groups,
winds up today with a discussion
of how job seekers are fooled by
''misrepresentation of employ
ment opportunities."
FTC officials said they hoped
the talks would cement closer re
lations between the government
and the consumer.
FTC Chairman Earl W, Kintner
said the commission relies on
spot checks, and complaints from
business competitors and consum
ers for information on shady bus
iness practices.
"But the most persuasive voice
of all is the voice of the consum
er," he declared.
hero Gen. Hubert Matos has de
lected. His aide has committed
suicide to back up Matos' charge
that Castro was selling Cuba out.
Castro cannot ignore Matos. But
he cannot order his execution
either. And he cannot keep his
old board of advisers because it
makes true the bill of the Urrutia-Diaz-Matos
indictment.
In the ri'dsl of the mess (the
word helpfully supplied by old 26th
of July men who cannot under
stand or explain Castro today) the
anti-Castro underground is playing
on every misstep in Havana for
support in the U.S. regardless
how it sounds.
"We told you." old Batista men
ay happily. "We warned you when
that madman was in the Sierra
Maestra. He is taking up the
cruelty and thievery where Batista
left off."
And from a member of the new
26th of July Against Communism:
"Don't go to Cuba. If the Castro
men don't shoot you, one of ours
might just to pin it on Fidel."
In the end, there is agreement
that American fears and interests
must be played on (communism.
Russia, profit, etc.) if any anti-
Castro movement is to get support.
But there still is major dis
agi cement on what kind of a pro
gram to follow.
The new 26th of July Against
Communism cries:
'Back to the Sierra Maestra.
Fight Castro the way he fought
Batista even If it takes an
other two years."
A Foreign Legion officer of the
Dominican based forces says:
"Invade. We have enough men
and arms. We'll worry about get
ting Trujillo out of Cuba after
we're in power."
And like wise, old turtles the
Old Guard Bastista Exiles
sit tight and tell you:
"The overthrow must come from
inside. And it will. So we are pre
paring to come back not all
of us. But most.
"Do not believe those crowds
who come out to see Castro. They
came out to see Batista, too.
"And all the talk and ranting
"In Spanish it is said that a
hundred people crying make a lot
more noise than a thousand who
keep their mouths shut."
