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were withdrawn by Russia after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. . ."

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

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

CAPITOL MEMO
Dedicated

SALEM (UPIi Oregon has a
reputation as an open news state,
and a dedicated corps of profes

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
