WASHINGTON (AP)-U.S. offi-l

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

countries crushed small forces of

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

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

of arms to Caslro, the Slate De

the Cuban economy with exces

the Cuban prime minister.
Washington officials expressed

throughout the hemisphere to the
dangers of serious Communist-directed

which are foreseen here.

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

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.

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

Portland Port

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.

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.
