Monday, Nov. 21, 1980 Cubans Are Buildinc Arsenal To Back Rebs WASHINGTON (AP)-U.S. offi-l cials pictured Cuba today as build ing up a huge arsenal of Soviet bloc military weapons to armi revolutionary movements through' out the Caribbean area. The Stat Department an nounced Friday night that accord ing to the best available informa tion the government of Cuban Prime Minister Fidel Castro has already imported 28.000 tons of arms from the Soviet bloc, includ Privately o f f I c 1 a 1 s put their fears in blunter terms. The Com munist powers, they said, are clearly lining Cuba as a base for accumulating arms with which to supply revolutionary movements whenever there is an opportunity to stir up serious trouble. President Eisenhower has de ployed U.S. warships to patrol the Caribbean coast of Central Amer ica, acting at I Me request ot Ouat emala and Nicaragua. Those countries crushed small forces of tnd tnnlrc 0unc and pipht MIG jet fighters. The department said revolutionary invaders earlier this shipments also included about 6,000 tons of assorted ammunition in addition to almost 46 million rounds of rifle, machinegun and artillery ammunition previously obtained by Castro from non Communist sources. According to the department's figures, Castro has received a to tal of 93,000 automatic rifles, in cluding 45,000 from Communist Cechoslovakia; 10,000 subma chineguns; a variety of heavier weapons and 10 Soviet helicopters. The State Department said Cas tro now has the largest army in Latin America. His militia was put at 200,000 persons and offi cials estimated that his regular army totals 40,000. The Soviet Union and Red Chi na are cooperating in the supply of arms to Caslro, the Slate De partment said, because they "ap parently desire to contribute to, Caribbean tensions by burdening the Cuban economy with exces sive arms purchases and by sup porting the aggressive policies of the Cuban prime minister. Washington officials expressed the hope that disclosure of the Cuban arms information, evident ly obtained from intelligence sources, would alert other nations throughout the hemisphere to the dangers of serious Communist-directed trouble making by Castro which are foreseen here. week and alleged Cuban support for the operations. Neighboring Costa Rica said Friday night documents had been found on a Nicaiaguan opposition leader linking the Nicaiaguan re volt with Castro and international communism. President Miguel Ydigoras of Guatemala declared that he fa vored a Korea type police action against Cuba by the Organization of American States. In Havana, Castro newspapers screamed that the U.S. warships off Ihe coast of Central America could open the way for an attack on Cuba. Radio Moscow said El senhowcr's move was "fraught with the danger of a military con flict." Red China's Premier Chou En-lai declared continued support for Castro, saying the United states was threatening Cuba by force of arms. At the United Nalions, Cuba registered a formal protest against Eisenhower's dispatch of naval units to protect Guatemala and Nicaragua. Washington diplomats expected appeals from the two Central American countries for OAS ac tion under an inter-American se curity treaty. A two-thirds vote of the OAS would be necessary to find Cuba guilty of aggression and thus clear Ihe way for eco nomic and political sanctions against Castro. w7n S 1MO k, MJC W. T.M. .

Wonder Drugs May Beat Timber Ills By JOHN KAMPS Associated Press Special Service WASHINGTON (AP) - Wonder drugs, like those used for human ailments, show great promise for treatment of a disease which has killed billions of dollars worth of timber. Forest Service officials report antibiotics have been used suc cessfully against blister rust, the deadly fungus which has spread through millions of while pine trees in this country. Experiments with the drugs were described last week by Ho mer J. Mailman of Missoula, Mont., at a meeting of the Amer ican Foresters Society. Tests In Idaho and Montana have been so successful that Hart man predicted antibiotics will lave millions of trees. This would save billions of dol lars. A large tree contains hun dreds of board feet of lumber. Good white pine sells at retail lumber yards for between $400 and $500 per 1,000 board feet. The drugs had an advantage ever some used on humans, Hart man said: They have no harmful side effects. No harmful effects were found after 10 million white pine trees in Idaho and Montana were treated. Antibiotics are sprayed on the trees from the ground and from the air. They attack and stop the spread of rust-colored cancer-like growths which ring and kill the trees. Conrad Wcssala, at Forest Serv ice headquarters here, said ex perimcnts and research indicate blister rust can be arrested and untold quantities of timber will be saved. Without control, he said, the na tion could lose 75 per cent of its white pine trees. There are white pine forests in the Pacific North west, tn the Central Lake states and along the Appalachian range. Spraying by plane bus proved effective and will be cheaper than ground application, Wessala said Three blister rust specialists col laborated on an optimistic article printed by the Journal of Forest all and PINE Phone TU 4-3188 SAVE NOW on quality ASBESTOS SIDING INSTALLED mm P 1 iTTT? IV','?! 50 Portland Port Use Increasing PORTLAND (AP) - Raymond M. Kell, chairman of Portland's Commission of Public Docks, to day said 110 more cargo vessels were berthed in Portland in the first 10 months of this year than in the same period of last year He said the rise in ship activity brought with it a 14 per cent in crease in total tonnage handled at the commission's three terminals. In the first 10 months of this year 875 ocean-going ships have loaded or discharged cargo com pared to 765 in the same 10 months a year ago. The total revenue tonnage in creased 14 per cent at pub lie docks, principally in outbound lumber and logs and bulk move ment arriving and leaving. ready, is at sea. Each missile has an energy yield equivalent to slightly over bOO.ooo tons of conventional TNT explosive; the yield is expected to be increased later to about a million tons one megation per missile. By com parison, the first atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima was of 20,-000-ton size. The Air Force is pushing its program for a mobile missile launching system called the Sky bolt. These rockets are designed to have a range of about 1,100 miles when launched from B52 bomb ers, with each bomber carrying two missiles. Air Force experts estimated Saturday that if only half of the B52 bomber force of 670 aircraft is equipped for Skvbolt missiles, the volume of firepower will be about that of the 720-megaton to tal for the 45 Polaris submarines.
