Holland urged a reduction in the duty on unmanufactured Cu- | ban tobaccos imported into this.| country, “I think the conclusion is ines- capable that our duties should be reduced in this instance, thus aid- ing and helping both the tobacco industry of Cuba and the cigar manufacturers and workers of Tampa,” said Holland. The Florida Democrat was a featured aspeaker at the Tobacco Table grand banquet, a highlight of the city’s weeklong Cigar Festi- val. A delegation of Cuban tobac- co growers is taking part. A member of the Senate com- mittee on agriculture, Holland said jhe is aware that his country, in negotiating agreements under the Reciprocal Trade Act, tries to ob- tain from foreign countries conces- sions encouraging their use of American agricultural commodi- ties. “T recognize the soundness of | that principle but I also recognize | | the problems which it may create | in a situation such as exists in the Republic of Cuba”, said Holland. “T am sympathetic to the Cuban problems and I realize full well that our programs for export to Cuba and import from Cuba must always be worked out with com- plete mutuality so that each of our friendly nations will receive all possible benefits rather than hard- ships or detriments, from our growing interchange of products.” PROHIBITION IN EL SALVADOR SAN SALVADOR (UP) — Prohibition of the sale of aleo- holic beverages during week-ends and on holidays will become ef- fective next Saturday throughout El Salvador. A ban on carrying firearms and steel weapons such as machetes and knives will also be effective during week-ends and holidays. U. 5. Espionage WASHINGTON. (U, P.) — Anec- dotes of non-military espionage by United States agents in Latin Ame- rica are recounted in a new book just published here relating to the story of the Federal Bureau’ of In- vestigation (FBI), The book is entitled “The FBI Story” and I by Don Whitehead, manager of the Washington Bureau of the New York newspaper, The Herald Tribune. Whitehead reports that the acti- vities of the FBI in Latin Ameriva grew out of the realization by Pre- sident Franklin D. Roosevelt and others of his Government that Nazi agents had a string of bases stretching from México City to the Straits of Magellan. That realiza- tion came in 1940, long before the United States entered world war ed in spy cases, according to Whitehead As a result, a special organiza- tion was established with the name “Special Intelligence Ser- vice” (SIS) to conduct non-milit- ary espionage and counter-espion- age outside the United States. It was placed under the direction of HEMISPHERIC EVENTS EL SALVADOR TO HARNESS GEYSERS SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador —(UP)— The National geological service said that it is going to make an attempt to harness the geysers in the Ahuachupaén area northwest of San Salvador to pro- duce industrial power. As a first step, a pilot plant will be installed in the Agua Shuca Gey- ser, the service said. Its technicians have completed a survey which showed the heat from the geyer- sers can be piped for steam pro- duction, it added. ' EXPOSITION OPENS IN COLOMBIA BOGOTA, Colombia —(UP) — President Gustavo Rojas Pinilla opened Bogota’s Third Interna- tional Exposition in which 21 for- eign countries are represented. Assistant U. S. Secretary of Com- merce Walter Williams formally opened the American Pavillion, which bears the name of “demo- cratic capitalism.” Williams said in an address that the purpose of the pavillion “is to show that private property, indivi- dual initiative and confidence in man as the creator of wealth are the foundation of the prosperity ing at all times.

Edgar Hoover, director of the FBI. Whitehead reports that most of the governments of Latin America cooperated willingly with the Unit- ed States in its counter-espionage program. But he says there were some places, such as Argentina, where hostile police and govern- ment officials made the wor of SIS agents dangerous and difficult. The espionage operations of the Nazis, which the United States pro- gram was combatting, was chiefly in Brazil, Argentina, . Chile, and, because of its proximity to. the United States, México, according to Whitehead. But he says that it ex- tended to every country in Cen- tral and South America, Most of those countries, he says, welcomed the offer of the United States of FBI help to train their police and organize their defenses against espionge and sabotage. As a matter of fact, he says, nine of the ten South American Republics had requested the assignment of FBI agents as technical advisers on police matters.

SUMMER TEMPERATURES HIT ARGENTINA BUENOS AIRES —(UP)— The mercury hit 90 degrees in the shade today as a reminder that summer in the Southern Hemisphere is on- ly three weeks away. The heat wave brought a sudden change in the city’s life. Sidewalk cafe owners dusted off their awn- ings and began to ice the coffee. Palm beach suits came out from mothballs and curvaceous beauties strolled down Florida Street in transparent nylon blouses or back- less dresses. Swim-suit ads dominated depart- ment store publicity. The first bathers were reported getting in- to difficulties at the Riverside beaches and the croupiers en- traimed for Mar del Plata and other seaside casinos to open the roulet- te season this weekend. Already Under Control, Cuban Army Chief Says Chilean Professor Santiago Vidal Goes to San Juan Chilean Professor Santiago Vi- dal, who spent a few ‘days at the MeAllister Hotel here, left yes- terday for San Juan, Puerto Rico, where he was invited by the Puer- to Rican Department of State, to attend the First Seminary of His- tory of Ideas of America, which will take place at the Puerto Rican capital Dec, 3 to 8. Professor Vi- dal is Secretary of the Chilean Com- mittee of History of the Ideas of America, Secretary General of the Chilean Society of Philosophy. Delegates from most of the coun- tries of the Americas are expected to attend the Seminary in San Juan. PUERTO RICO GETS SOIL BANK PAYMENT WASHINGTON. (UP) — The Agriculture Department reported today that farmers in 45 states and Puerto Rico received soil bank payments totaling $228,212,997.52 through Nov, 23. The minth weekly report since payments began in September showed Iowa farmers got a total of 48,6 milllion dollars, the biggest of any state. Nebraska was second with 29.9 milllon dollars, Texas third with 20.4 million dollars, South Dakota fifth with 13.5 million dollars, and | vitians attacked a small military North Dakota sixth with 11.3 mil- lion dollars. SANTIAGO, Cuba —(UP)— At least five persons were killed and 10 wounded today in a revolution- | ary outbreak against the govern- |ment of President Fulgencio Ba- | tista. The uprising started ' before | dawn when revolutionary groups of civilians attacked police stations and the customs house in this se- }cond largest city of Cuba, some |460 miles southeast of Havana. By 11:30 A. M. EST, six hours | after the initial outbreak of street | fighting, scattered shots still were | | heard throughout the city, although the army said it had the situation under control. It appeared that the rebels had taken to the rooftops of public buildings and were carrying out a sniping campaing against police and army regular troops. Cuban Air Force planes were sent aloft as a precaution over this city of some 120,000 and troop re- inforcements were rushed here and to other southeastern coastal points. TERMED UNDER CONTROL Maj. Gen, Francisco Tabernillia, Cuban army chief of staff, announc ed at 10:30 A. M, EST that the “army dominates the situation” here. Tabernilla’s brief official an- nouncement said troops of the first regiment of the rural guard here “repelled” attacks by “small groups of civilians” on the national police and maritime police headquart- ers in Santiago. The announcement also said that another group of unidentified ci- outpost in the city of Holguin, which lies 65 miles northwest _ of At Least Five Were Killed And Ten Wounded in Revolt Against Batista Santiago. This group injured a sentry, the announcement said, and then escaped with arms and am- munition, Headquarters of the national police in Santiago was set afire during the early battle and burned to the ground.

MOVEMENT IS GETTING STRONGER, PRIO SAYS Former Cuban President Carlos Prio Socarras told the United Press bureau in New York by telephone from Miami, Fla., that the Santiago disturbances show that the under- ground opposition to the Batista government is “growing stronger all the time.” Prio Socarrés, who is living in exile in stiami, said he had no con- nection with any of the insurrec- tional activities in Cuba, He said he believed the current Santiago out- break was “an isolated demonstra- tion.” Buy and Use Christmas Seals Fight Tuberculosis! Cuban Sugar Industry has Bright Sales Prospects for Coming Year By JAMES F. CUNNINGHAM WASHINGTON, Nov. 29—(UP) Suez-Canal-stoppage will dislocate world sugar trade less than inter- national traffic in other agricultur- al commodities, U. S. government experts predicted last night. Agriculture Department Officials T. O._Murphy and H. G.. Hirsch speculated, however, that the situa- tion may cause Britain to turn to Cuba for more sugar and. might cause the United Kingdom to reim- pose some types of controls on sugar sales at home.

EARTH QUAKE IN CHILE SANTIAGO, Chile —(UP)— A sharp earth tremor on the north- ern coast of Copiapo Province col- lapsed two small copper mines trapping at least a dozen miners under dirt and rocks, police re- ported. A rescue crew of federal mount- ed police set off for La Explora- dora mine where nine miners were reported trapped or buried. At the Tres Gracias mine rescue crews dug out “several” miners who had been cut off by the shaft collapse. Three others were believed to be still inside. KRUPP IN CHILE SANTIAGO, Chile —(UP)— Ger- man industrialista Alfred Krupp arrived in search for two big con- struction contracts from the Chil- ean Government. e Krupp is on a tour of Latin America seeking new business, He plans to remain here 10 days. He arrived from Sao Paulo, Brazil, al picture at a sugar outlook con- ference with government agricul- tural. agents from various parts of the nation. They reported that about 1,- 000,000 tons of sugar passed through the Suez Canal in each direction last year. That amounted to about 14 per cent of the 14, 000,000 tons of sugar moved by ocean in international trade. Closure of the canal, Hirsch said, “will have an effect on the world trade in sugar, but probably less than on that in other commodi- ties.” In this connection, Hirsch sug- gested that Great Britain might where a Krupp works for the con- struction of locomotives, buses and other vehicles is underway. The Krupp firm has submitted bids on construction of a shipyard for the Chilean Navy at Talcahua- no and for the construction of a copper refinery for the Chilean Government. CHILEAN MINISTER TO VISIT U, S. A. WASHINGTON—(UP)— United States defense officials announced that Vice Admiral Francisco 0’ Ryan, Minister of Defense of Chile and Commander in Chief of the Chilean Navy, will visit the United States for two weeks starting Dec. 3. # . Naval bases or cities to be visit- ed on the trip include San Diego Naval Aid Station and Naval Base, San Francisco Naval Base, Wash- ington, D. C. and Annapolis Naval Academy, officials said. They added that O’Ryan will con- sult with high officials in Washing- ton, visit United States naval bases, inspect anti-submarine warfare operations on the Pacific Coast and make a trans-continental trip with- ing the United States during his visit. O’Ryan will make the visit at the invitation of “Admiral Arleigh find it impractical to continue its usual and considerable imports of _ sugar from Mauritius. The Maurit- ian sugar, he suggested might find readier markets in Japan or some part of Asia — especially if the world price continues high. In such an event, he speculated, Japan or the other Asian customers might take less from Cuba, and Britain, in turn, make up some of the Mauritian deficit with pur- chases from Cuba. Hirsch said - Australia, the Phil- ippines and the Fiji Islands are geographically situated so that they can ship sugar by other routes than Suez with compara- tively little difficulty. He noted however, that the ca- nal was used for sugar shipments from Austral-Asia to Britain and occasionally from Manila to, New York. Murphy brushed aside requests for predictions as to what would happen to the world price for sugar. Noting that the world price had soared to five cents a pund in three weeks, after holding around 3.25 cents for eight months Mur- phy replied: “It would be idle speculation of anybody’s part to hazard a guess as to what it will do next.” Murphy described the “brisk” trading in sugar futures as one of the most significant of many re cent sugar developments. Between Nov. 8 and Nov. 27, some 9,600 lots (50 long tons each) of sugar futures were traded in New York, he said. That equalled total trading from March to No vember, The “rapidity of this turnover," he said, indicates much of the trad ing may be attributed to “outsiders not really interested in sugar.” The implication was that specula tive forces play an important part in current sugar market activity: Both experts agreed, however, that 1957 should be a good yeal for sugar rexporting countries and ought to restore Korean war yean prosperity to Cuba.
