WASHINGTON UPI - De
fense Secretary Robert S. McNa
mara told Congress today that
about 17,000 Soviet military per
sonnel still remain in Cuba and
that they probably control the
principal elements of the island's
air defense system.
But he also said flatly that U.S.
surveillance of the island "has
not revealed the existence of stra
tegic weapons systems" there
since the Soviets pulled out their
medium-range missiles in Octo
ber. The statement appeared design
ed to contradict some refugee re
ports that the Russians still have
offensive missiles hidden in Cuba
The secretary said the United
Slates was convinced that the 42
missiles withdrawn from the is
land in the aftermath of the Cu
ban crisis were real missiles and
not dummies.
Lists Present Weapons
Appearing before a closed-door
session of the House Armed Serv
ices Committee, MeNamara said
the present defense system in
Cuba includes 24 surface-to-air de
fense missile sites, several coast
al missile sites, and about 40
MIG21 jet fighters.
The MIGs, he said, were in ad
dition to more than 60 erlier ver
sions of the same fighter previous
ly sent to Cuba by the Russians.
The presence of the Soviet mili
tary men in Cuba has been known
to the administration since the
October crisis. President Kenne
dy told his news conference last
week that "we figure there are
still approximately 16.000 or 17,000
Russians there" and that they are
continuing to operate the air de
fense missile sites.
But, the President said, there
has not been a military build up
"in that sense of the equipment
coming in from outside of Cuba."
Other Soviet Equipment
MeNamara said the Soviets al
so had on the island "substantial
numbers" of late model tanks, ar
mored personnel carriers, artil
lery weapons, antitank missiles

and other battlefield weapons.
"The more modern ground
equipment Is integral to four high
ly mobile Soviet ground forces
which still remain in Cuba," he
said.
MeNamara described Russia's
current military strength in Cuba
in his annual report to the House
Committee on the status of U.S.
military power. A censored ver
sion of his testimony was made
public by Chairman Car! Vinson,
D-Ga.
The secretary said U.S. military
experts were "convinced beyond
any reasonable doubt that 42 me
dium-range missiles were re
moved from Cuba aboard eight
Soviet ships between Nov. 5-9 and
that 42 IL28 bombers were re
moved between Dec. 5-6.
Fiji Visited
By Royalty
LONDON (UPI) - Queen Eliz
abeth and Prince Philip fly to
the tropical Fiji Islands today on
their way to an eight-week tour
ot Australia and New Zealand.
The royal couple scheduled two
brief stops at Vancouver, B.C.,
and Honolulu on the 10,600-mile
trip to Fiji, where they will spend
two days.
They are leaving behind a cris
is over the collapse of Britain's
effort to enter the European Com
mon Market and a new surge of
winter snow, ice, freezing tem
peratures and a fuel shortage.
In Fiji, a royal banquet awaits
Elizabeth and Prince Philip pork,
native fruits and vegetables and
the Fiji royal drink, yanggona.
The drink, reported to look and
taste like dirty dishwater, is a
must for all visitors to the islands.
According to tradition, Queen
Elizabeth cannot refuse to drink
a half coconut shell of yanggona.

Steel Reports Lowest
Earnings In Ten Years
NEW YORK (UPI) The U.S.
Steel Corp. has reported its net
earnings were the lowest in a dec
ade in 1962, the year President
Kennedy forced the big steel firms
to hold the line on prices.
But U.S. Steel also announced
Tuesday that fourth quarter prof
its were high enough to cover div
idend requirements. The directors
voted to continue for the present
tile 60-cent quarterly dividend on
common stock, which was insti
tuted last spring after Kennedy's
action brought cancellation of a
$6-a-ton price increase.
The firm, biggest steel company
in the country, before then had
been paying 75 cents a share on
common since the first quarter of
1957.
"Big Steel" produced and sold
more steel, yet cleared it? small
est profit, last year since 1952.
This was caused not only by the
absence of a price boost, but also
by increased employment costs
provided for in the last steel la
bor contract and higher costs for
materials.
U.S. Steel chairman Roger M.
Blough told newsmen the firms'
business in the first three months
of this year should be "reason
ably good."
He declined to forecast 1963
earnings but said the company
has made some progress in la.
bor-savlng and other cost-cutting
projects.
"Unhappy as the employment
situation is, there are two sides
to this equation," he said. "I
think most workers who have
been laid off understand this.'
The steel executive said he felt
labor now had a better under
standing of management problem
But he declined to predict the
possible outcome of the steel la
bor contract negotiations which
arc expected to re-open this sum
mer.
SACRAMENTO (UPI) A do-it-yourself
voter registration sys
tem was proposed in the Cali
fornia Legislature Wednesday.
Assemblyman Nicholas Pctris,
D-Oakland, authored the bill which
had the backing of Gov. Edmund
G. Brown. Petris said he and
Brown reached an independent
conclusion that such legislation
was necessary.
Under the measure, county
clerks would be required to dis
tribute books or pads of registra
tion affidavits to be filled out by
prospective voters in all public
buildings and "other such places
as large numbers of electors may
gather."
This includes banks, super
markets and department stores,"
Petris said. "But it is not neccs
sarily limited to those places."
The Assemblyman called the bill
measure to facilitate registra
tion in fast-growing California and
said it would be a "major step
forward in enlarging participa
tion by our citizens in their gov
ernment.
"We really don't need the ritual
and structure of deputy registrars
signing people up and giving them
an oath," said Petris. "The sys
tem should be streamlined by
making the registration pads
available to anyone who asks for
them, even in the corner market."
Present law allows appointment
of deputy registrars sometimes
officials of the political parties
and at times officials of labor
unions to sign up voters.
But Pctris said that some coun
ties don't permit the registrars
to go from house to house to
register new voters, although
state law specifically allows this
practice.
Other counties permit full free
dom by the deputies and pay
from 5 to 10 cents for each voter
registered.
After the voter is registered,
the signature is checked by the
county clerk to make certain he
is eligible to vote.
Petris estimated that in the 1962
general election with more than
7.5 million registered in California,
about 3 million who could have
legally done so failed to register
at all.
With Democrats leading by a
3-2 margin in registration, Re
publicans seemed certain to ob
ject to the measure as a method
of registering more Democrats.
But Pctris said he hadn't con
sidered this.
"I hope the Republicans re
spond favorably and help us pass
it," he said. "But. I haven't dis
cussed the bill with any Republi
cans. "This convenience makes it
more likely that potential voters
will register," Petris said.

LOS GATOS. Calif. (UPI)-They
found tho old lawyer dead in his
two-room tliack, his mattress
shredded by rats and mice, 30
years alter he withdrew from
world he didn't understand and
didn't want to.
Elisha Corbin even his name
scorned something out of another
era miglit s well liave died in
November, 1932. Jh that month
Herbert Hoover was defeated in
the presidential election by Frank
lin D. Roosevelt and Corbin gave
up his lucrative law practice in
disgust.
Ho liad Iwcn a classmate of
Hoover at Stanford University be
fore the turn of the century. After
his graduation from law school,
ho joined a politically prominent
law firm in San Jose.
His practice nourished.
But after the defeat of Hoover,
Corbin abruptly left hLs life behind
him. He moved off to a cabin in
the Santa Cnu Mountains, fislied
and meditated in angry solitude
"Ho was shaken and depressed
by the election results." his broth
er-in-law, retired Sim Jase Fire
Chief Charles Plummer, recalled
today.
'Ho seemed to think it was the
end of riviliuiuoii as he knew it."
He saw no one, except for an
occasional neighbor, he took part
in nouiing, and. as far as is
known. Iw loft nothing behind him.
"I only saw him two or three
times in tlie last 30 years. The
last time was about 10 yaars ago,
and wo had a drink together.
"He was neatly dressed and
temed in good health. He would
not discuss politics. But he still
had that brilliant mind."
Twenty years ago Corbin moved
to the sliack in Los Gatos where
his body was found Monday. He
took long walks and kept his
tlioughts to himself. His neiiilibors.
encountering him only by acci
dent, thought of him as "odd."
His body lay on a mattress Uiat
Deputy Coroner Richard Alayne
described as "chewed opart bv
rats and mice." He was estimated
to be in his lale 80s.
As for evidence of what occu
pied hLs "brilliant mind" for those
30 lonely years, there was none.
Neither was there any sign he re
gretted tliem.
