Cubans Smash Conspiracy HAVANA (UPI) - The arrest ef 37 Cubans, including a U.S educated sugar planter, has smashed a vast conspiracy against the government of Pre mier Fidel Castro, it was report ed today. Army intelligence agents said the arrests frustrated plans to terrorize the nation with a cam paign of sabotage and murder. At the same time, the pro-government newspaper Combate car ried new reports of an impend ing invasion, saying that anti Castro forces armed by the Gua temalan government are about to tail for Cuba. Talk of conspiracy and ' inva sion, however, failed to halt preparations for Friday's cele bration of the first anniversary of Castro's victory over ousted ex-President Fulgencio Batista. An army announcement said the leader of the alleged anti-government plot was Eugenio de So sa Chabau, U.S.-educated owner of the Santa Regina sugar mill and former editor of the opposi tion newspaper Disario de la Marina. Twenty-six other persons were reported arrested with De Sosa aboard the yacht. on fish and bananas during their stay on the island. He refused several offers to be rescued be cause the skippers of tossing ships would not take his com panion aboard. Finally, residents of Pitcairn Island came for him in an open boat and Tomarchin was rescued along with his chimpanzee. That was about 3'i years ago. Tomarchin brought the chimpan zee back to the United States, raised him and taught the ani mal how to say "mama" and "no." The chimp grew up to become "Mr. Moke," a television star in Miami and the center of a con troversial struggle between To marchin and the St. Louis Zoo. The 27-ycar-old animal trainer today faced a "chimpnaping charge for spiriting Mr. Moke away from the St. Louis Zoo, which bought the animal from Tomarchin. But Tomarhin, who was reared as an orphan and said he knows what it means to bs alone, prom ised an all-out court fight to keep Mr. Moke from going back to a cage in the St. Louis Zoo. Just as determined, St. Louis Zoo Director George P. Vierheil- ler said he would do everything to get the chimpanzee back. While the tug-of-war was on, Mr. Moke was hidden where in Miami and Tom would not disclose where. Tomarchin had been the object of an FBI search since slipped into the St. Louis Zoo at night earlier this month, Mr. Moke out of the ape and disappeared. He was sought on a Missouri warrant charging second - degree burglary and stealing, and alsc by the FBI as a fugitive whe crossed state lines. He surrcn dercd himself to the U.S. marsha! here Tuesday, but kept Mr. Moke in hiding. ' I realize now that I mane a mistake but I just wanted to have Mr. Moke with me again," said Tomarchin. "I will pay the St. Louis Zoo twice the money they gave me for Mr. Moke." But Vierheiller answered from St. Louis: "There will be no deal I want Mr. Moke back."

CYPRUS COPPER Copper is a corruption of the name of the Mediterranean island of Cyprus, whose mines supplied the ancient world with the metal Pleas Lost By Attorneys LOS ANGELES (UPI) Attor ncys for wealthy Dr. R. Bernard Finch and his paramour Carole Tregoff have lost important legal battles before testimony has even begun in their sensational murder trial. With four alternate jurors still to be selected today to augment the seated panel of six men and six women, Superior Judge Walter R. Evans turned down two mo tions by attorneys for the accused couple. Evans denied a motion by Grant B. Cooper, Finch's attorney, for changing location of the trial to another county. Cooper charged publicity given the wife-slaying case has prejudiced the public against the defendants. Evans also denied a motion by attorneys for a separate trial for Miss Tregoff. The jury was seated late Tues day following long questioning by defense and prosecution attorneys Finch, 42, and red-haired Miss Tregoff, 23, his former reception ist, are accused of the fatal shoot ing of Finch's estranged wife, Barbara, 33. Mrs. Finch was found shot in the back July 18 outside the Finch $65,000 home in nearby West Covina.

GOP Derided By Senator PORTLAND (AP)-The Ropub lican Party lacks a candidate to oppose Democratic Sen. Richard Neubcrger next November, state Sen. Monroe Sweetland of Mil waukie said Tuesday. Sweetland told a young Demo crat meeting here the GOP also is hard-pressed to find opponents for Al Ullman, Edith Green and Charles Porter, Oregon's Demo cratic House members. The Republican Party in Ore gon, he said, is tottering on the brink of political bankruptcy with out candidates and without poli cies. Gov. Mark O. Hatfield's hand-picked state chairman (Pe ter Gunnar) acts like a receiver appointed to wind up the party's affairs after one year of stand still and stand-pat minority party control of the state administra tion," he said.

The nostalgic, "pure-western" tunes on several other TV series hark back to America's early days as hoof-beat heroes face down their men on a dusty street. Westerns, who done-its, and their music are as American as apple pie. Or are Ihey? The American Federation of Musicians charges that the music on 16 TV series 10 of them westerns is recorded in foreign countries. In newspaper advertisements Tuesday, the AFM branded the practice "a species of fraud on the American public." It said re cording the music abroad allows television producers to cut costs at the expense of American musi cians and is becoming a serious threat to employment opportuni ties. Accused of diluting their All American plots with imported music were these shows: "Bat Masterson," "Black S a d d 1 e," "The Dupont Show," "Johnnie Ringo," "Lassie," "The Lockup," "Men Into Space," "Richard Dia mond," "The Rifleman." "Robert Taylor's Detectives," "Sea Hunt," "Tales of the P 1 a i n s m e n." "Tombstone Territory," "Wanted Dead or Alive," "Wichita Town" and "Zane Grey Theater."

C'lausun; a one time chiroprac tor and native of Mitchell. Iowa. was the first Maine governor to die in ol f ice for almost 40 years. Dr. Joseph R. Crawford said the cause of death was undetermined but "in all likelihood it was heart or a cerebral hemorrhage." The governor was dead when Dr. Crawford arrived at Blaine House, the executive mansion at 35 a m. The only member of the family present v. as Mrs. Clausen, the former Ellen Kclleher of Water- lie. The governor also leaves a son. Cornelius K., of Waterville, and a daughter, Mrs. William Shasse of Brunswick. Clauson came to Maine as a young chiropractor. He settled in Waterville where he served as city treasurer in 1030 and mayor in 1956 and 1957. In recent years he had been in the oil distribution business there. Active in Democratic party af fairs for more than 30 years, he was U.S. collector of internal rev enue for Maine from 1934 to 1953. A World War I veteran, he was a member of the American Le gion.

He remained con scious during his ordeal. He was helping load his truck when part of a 20-foot pile of hulls slid on top of him. About a dozen workers freed Pearce after digging frantically. The driver, employed by the A. R. Shannon Co., Tulare, said he saw one side of the pile give way and started to run. He was trapped by a second slide. The rescue operation was trig gered by John W. Magoon, work ing about 20 feet from Pearce. He said he saw the slide and called (or help when he couldn't find Pearce. "When he walked to the ambu lance after being pulled from the pile," said Magoon, "he seemed more worried about not getting his truck loaded than he did about being hurt." Pearce suffered no serious in jury and was treated by a private physician.

That's the question Thomas A. Jenkins, 61, of Long Beach, Calif, asked today after watching his 13 year-old son swept into the ocean and drowned. 'God could have taken me in stead of Jimmy," said the bro ken-hearted father. "He had everything to live for and my life is about over." Jenkins, his son Jimmy and two of the boy's youthful friends were fishing Tuesday on a jetty here reaching into the Pacific Ocean when a big wave hit. 'I jumped back," said Bob Cod- dington, 12, of Long Beach. "Then a second wave hit. I heard him scream for help as the second wave hit him. Then he went in the water and the tide carried him away." Jenkins, who was about 200 feet from his son when the waves struck plunged into the water aft er his son even though the elderly man could not swim. He barely managed to save his own life by scrambling back to some rocks and ran a half-mile to telephone for help. But his son's body was washed away before help arrived. .05 Experts Mull Ban On Night WASHINGTON (UPI) Navy scientists have been toying with the idea of eliminating night. This could be done, they say, if man were able to create a thick layer of dust in a region far out from the earth. The layer of dust would be like Saturn's major ring, which is an area of extremely fine par ticles about 10 miles in depth, located 35,000 miles above that planet. Drs. Herbert Friedman and James Purcell of the Naval Re search Laboratory said there is no night on Saturn because of the continual brightness of the ring. Friedman said it might take millions of tons of dust to create an effective ring. He mentioned that the eruption of Mt. Krakatau on a Pacific island in 1883 spewed forth many millions of tons of dust that vis- bly affected the atmosphere for years afterward. The Krakatau dust was not enough to eliminate night, al though it caused long, exception ally red sunsets.
