That was the impression gained after a visit aboard the Cuban Frigate, ‘Antonio Maceo” Saturday. In fact, were it not for the con- versation and shouted orders in rapid Spanish, one would think they were aboard one of our own men of war. The “Maceo”, named for an im- mortal hero of the Cuban revolu- tion, is in Key West for a week’s stay during an extensive training cruise which has taken it to Vera ‘uz, Mexico and New Orleans. Aboard are 41 Midshipmen of the Marie! Naval Academy in Havana. In the company of Julio Caba- nas, President of the San Carlos Institute, who acted as interpreter, we sat in the cool, air conditioned ward-oom of the “Maceo” and chatted with Captain Augusto N.

It’s minimum pay seale of $100 is among the highest in the world. There are annually thousands of applicants for Naval Service with a comparatively small number meeting the stiff require- maintains Retirement and depen- dency benefits are very similar to those of the American Navy. The Cuban Navy takes good care of ihe health of it’s members. Med- ical Captain Diego Valdes Fernay- dez, a graduate of the University of Havana Medical School pointed out that a large Naval Hospital is maintained in Havana as well as several smaller dispensaries at the various Naval installations in Cu- ba. A teacher, as well as the Med- ical Director of the Naval Acade- my. Dr. Valdes has practiced in severa! hospitals in this country and is a veteran of 17 years in the Navy. Unlike servicemen of this coun try, we couldn’t find anyone aboard to offer any serious grumbling about the food. Saturday’s luncheon | menu included Spanish Bean Soup, breaded pork chops, a lettuce and tomato salad, white rice and pa paya. in their spare time, the Cuban Sailors rank dominoes, movies and fishing as tops in recreation.

It was the first tropical storm reconnaissance this year. Grady Norton, chief of the weath- bureau's hurri¢ane " warning service in Miami, said showery weather prevailed in the area and a plane was sent out because few ship reports had been received. He located the “area of suspi- cion’’ at latitude 20 degrees north, longitude 95 degrees west ui the Bay of Campeche and said the dis- turoance seemec “weak.” The position given is about 75 | miles northeast of Vera Cruz, Mex- ico, and about 450 miles soutn- | southeast of Brownsville, Tex.
