Cuba Caves Store Arms For Russia WASHINGTON tfPIi - The Army's intelligence chief testified today that Cuban caves apparently are being used to store ' much military equipment and supplies" but not strategic missiles. Maj. Oen. Alva R. Fitch, the Army's assistant chief of staff for intelligence, made the remark in a statement prepared for the Sen ate preparedness subcommittee's Cuba inquiry. He testified behind closed doors. Fitch reported that "there are no indications that Soviet ground force units have departed from Cuba" other than those associated lii the midranpe missile uludi were withdrawn by Russia after last October's crisis. Fitch told the committee that: "No nuclear warheads are be lieved to be in Cuba although it is possible that they could be used by some of the weapons systems now on the island. "Heavier and more modern" equipment has been introduced in Cuba during Russia's year long build-up there. He mentioned the Frog ground to ground missile and an antitank missile, the Snapper, as well as modern tanks, guns and personnel carriers. But he said "we do not believe that any of the sophisticated equipment such as the Snapper antitank missile and launcher, the Frog rocket and launchers, T54 tanks and 8-wheel armored per sonnel carriers have yet been turned over to the Cubans." Fitch conceded that "Cuban ref ugees continue to report that stra tegic missiles were not all actual ly removed from Cuba and that they have been stored in caves and underground installations." He added, however, that exhaus tive analysis has led Army ex perts to believe "that the Soviets did, in fact, remove all strategic weapons systems that were in Cu ba at the time of the quaran tine. . ." THE DOCTOR SAYS Opens By W. G. BRAXDSTADT, M.D. Newspaper Enterprise Assn. Q What is erythema nodosum? What causes it and what can be done for it? A Erythema nodosum is not a specific disease but may be a reaction to some infection which in a given person may or may not be identified. Among others it may be associated with tuber culosis or rheumatic fever. It usu ally starts with fever, localized pains, and general indisposition. The skin swellings are red, pain ful to touch, and vary in size from that of a filbert to that of a lime. Swellings come on rather suddenly and are most commonly Keen on the legs. They are hard at first and later become soft but do not discharge pus. They gradually disappear in about 10 days. If possible a person who has this condition should be placed in the hospital where every ef fort should be made (o discover the cause. Unless the cause is de termined the most your doctor can do is to try to relieve the symptoms. A Is it normal for a 14-year-nld girl who has just started to menstruate to skip a month or two between periods? A-Yes. A My sister, who keeps house . for me, has progressive muscular dystrophy. She is almost bedrid den. She tries to do the house work but her doctor wants her to discontinue most of this and rest. What do you think? A In most persons muscular dystrophy is a hereditary disease the causi of which is unknown. There is a wasting of the mus cles especially of the shoulders, hips and back. There is no pain, and the disease docs not shorten the life of the victim. With proper management many persons with this disease can remain reasona bly active. It's a great mistake for a person with this condtion to lose heart and abandon all efforts to help himself. In these persons the progressive w eakness and mus cular contractures that result are Children Need Vaccinations WASHINGTON TPP - The Public Health Service reported Tuesday that less than half of the nation's prc-school children are protected against polio and still less against diphtheria, whooping cough and tetanus.

CAPITOL MEMO Dedicated Oregon Legislature SALEM (UPIi Oregon has a reputation as an open news state, and a dedicated corps of profes sional newsmen here work to keep it that way. There is such a strong tradition of the public's right to know in Oregon that even closed executive sessions of legislative committeesi do not bar newsmen. Oregon publishers and broad casters are not content to take a public official's word for what is going on behind closed doors. They want their own reporters there. As government keeps growing, it becomes more difficult for newsmen, but bv virtue of hard Erythema Nodosum With Fever erroneously blamed on the pro gressive nature of the disease when often they are actually caused by inactivity, the atrophy of disuse. Although there is no drug that will benefit sufferers, much can he done for most of them with physical therapy and the use of self-help mechanical devices de signed to meet individual needs. Q I am 68 vcars old and don't eat much. I feel full all the time What causes this? A Poor appetite may be caused by many things, some se rious and some not so serious Chronic diseases of the kidneys or heart, tuberculosis and cancer are among the causes for which a thorough examination and early treatment are essential. Excessive use of alcohol or to bacco has ruined many an other wise serviceable appetite. Some aging persons, especially if their lecth are poor or if they live alone and have to cook their own meals just seem to get tired of eating In any case a thorough physical check-up should be the first step toward solving your problem. Please send your questions and comments to Dr. Wavne G. Brand tadt, M.D.. in care of this pa per. While Dr. Brandstadt can not answer individual letters, he will answer letters of general in terest in future columns Utility Probe Revival Asked SALEM i UPIi Three repre sentatives called Tuesday for re vival' of a resolution that would have provided for an interim in vestigation of electric utilities. The resolution was tabled by a 5-4 vote of the House Committee on Commerce and Utilities. Reps. Edward Whelan. James A Redden, and Elmer McClure called for reconsideration. "Was it mere coincidence that Southern Oregon got a long need ed power rate decrease less than three weeks after this resolution was introduced?" they asked. "Why shouldn't there tie a state wide power rale reduction?" Voting to table tlie resolution were Reps. Edward Branchfield. Mrs. E. G. Chuinard. Donald Mc Bam. W. S. Ouderkirk, and R. F. Smith. SKR.MON I.KSSON JACKSONVILLE, Fla. UTI' Evangelist Don Chenoith in his sermon at Berea Baptist Church Sunday night quoted from St. Luke about the good man who would have kept watch if he had known what hour the thief would come. Police Monday issued a three state alarm for three men and five women who heard the ser mon. They were wanted for re turning to the church after the sermon and stealing $1 .7(10 in equipment. V Newsmen Relate work and dedication they havei kept pace with tlie growth. It is not a situation that is com mon in all the other 49 states. Capitol newsmen are respected by officials here, and officials! have tlie respect of most news men. A deliberate move on the part of any official to halt or distort the free flow of news would re sult in a public uproar. During the current legislative session a crew ot 15 newsmen work full time to speed the flow of news to Oregon's newspapers radio and television stations. There are four wire service rep resentatives, eight newspaper re porters, and three radio-television representatives. This permanent staff is supple mented by newsmen from all media who gather to cover spe- cilic activities. It is not unusual to see dozens of reporters, photographers and television cameramen on hand at an important meeting. The permanent legislative staff includes Zan Stark and Ann H Pearson of United Press Interna tional; Paul Harvey Jr., and Al Den Bcste, Associated Press Douglas McKean and Tom Stim met, Oregon Journal, Portland Mervin Shoemaker and Harold Hughes, The Oregonian; Phil Hagcr, Portland Reporter; Dan Sellard, Eugene Register Guard; Doug Seymour, Salem Capital Journal; and Don Scarborough, Oregon Statesman, Salem. Bob Richtcr and Don Dill rep resent the state-owned radio and television network, and Bob Bruce the Capitol News Service. Their normal work day begins with a briefing at 7:45 a.m. in the office of House Speaker Clarence Barton. Newsmen enjoy coffee served by Barton at these inform aland sometimes newsworthy conferences. At 8 a.m. some newsmen leave to cover early committee meet ings, while others visit Senate President Ben Musa for a similar informal briefing. After this session more news- House Okays Bargaining SALEM (UPIi Public em ployes would be allowed to enter into collective bargaining agree ments w ith state and local govern ments under a bill passed today bv the House. Rep. Edward Whelan, D - Port land, said the bill also would al low public employes to join any labor organization of their choice. The measure went to the Senate. W helan said it was only permis sive, not mandatory. Rep. Sidney Bazctt, R Grants Pass, said the Oregon Public Em ployes Association opposes the bill. He termed it an encroachment on local governments. The House also passed, 35-24, and sent to the Senate a bill to reduce the fireman's work week from 72 to 56 hours. Opponents said it invaded local affairs. The House also passed budgets for the Racing Commission and the Supreme Court. The Racing Commission budget was approved at JIM. 172. down SU.742 from the original proposal. The Supreme Court budget pro vides $H."2,316.

When the sessions convene at 10 a.m. most newsmen are on hand to record developments. The staccato clicking of type writers and teletype machines in the downstairs press room reaches' a crescendo around U a.m. as newsmen rush to feed the morn ing's activities to that day's edi tions. The press room is nearly de serted in the early afternoon as reporters move out to cover com mittee hearings and meetings. It springs back to life at mid afternoon after the first round of hearings end, and is again fever ish with activity about 5 p.m. as the rush is on to get the news lout in time for the evening radio and television newscasts. Visitors to the press room seem surprised when legislators dash in to ask reporters what is going on Most legislators are so tied down to their own committee assign ments they don't know what other committees arc doing. to keep up, they visit the press room, through which all the day's activities are tunneled. mi u iim ms ujiu uimiwniiiumfui. m.m ! ini mi num. i iiiiiiji i u mum iui i,yi.ii,i. j.i jjUjj i d-UUMJ-lMlJLlJLlJWWEiBll-JMllWmaWlJtlUt.liaUIWIIUM MIlillllWBIIIWlllllMlllMMIMWWW WIMIMiWlMIMIWMWMaMMMMlllM I llllWII 111 M !

UPI Telephoto Mother Tells Why She Left Blind, Spastic Youngster HOUSTON (UPI - A womanl told police Tuesday night she left behind her blind, spastic 26-month- old son because "my little baby just lay there crying and seemed to be dying."

The attractive, 24-year-old moth er finally turned herself over to police and said: "I had no intention of running loff somewhere or leaving Keith entirely," she said. "I just want cd to make sure the child would he taken care of." Mrs. Dawson said Keith was a normal, healthy baby until he fell from a couch when he was six months old. Before that," she said, "he won first prize in a baby beauty contest when we lived in Taco- ma, Wash." Crying Bothers Neighbor Mrs. Dawson of Lima, Ohio, said she had been in Houston since September and has lived in six different apartments. She had to leave each of them at the re Falls, Ore. Thunday, quest of neighbors who complained of tlie boy's crying. Finally, after being asked to move from my last apartment be cause of his constant crying, I had to do something drastic, Mrs. Dawson said. The blond, blue-eyed baby was found in a darkened waiting room of the hospital. Police said the child was well-nourished and showed he had excellent care in his home. Mrs. Dawson said she went to friend's apartment after leav ing the baby and called the hos pital immediately and told them about the boy in the waiting room.
