FIRST, BUT IT’S A LONG WAY TO HOME PLATE a ree reemeee NOTAS CUBANAS Por RAOUL ALPIZAR POYO CUEVAS DE BELLAMAR Indudablemente que Cuba tiene el privilegio de ser uno de los paises que atesora mayor numero de bellezas naturales. Por algo el navegante genovés al enfrentar sus bareos a Cuba, exclamara: cuales habrian sido las aclamaciones de Colon, si le hubiera sido dable, por ejemplo, conocer. y visitar, las bellisimas Cuevas de Bella- mar, situadas en la ciudad de Matanzas. Deseribir en un ‘trabajo perio- distico, la magestuosidad y belle- za de esas Cuevas, nos parece que seria imposible. Técnicamente presentan las caracteristicas de los terrenos de visitante “El Sepulcro”. de bellos detalles. Seria labor interminable tratar de desgiosar una a una las gran- des atracciones que la Naturaleza ha colocado en el interior de las Cuevas de Bellamar y la pluma del escritor, por grandes que sean Sus deseos, palideceria, ante el espectaculo indescriptible que ap- arence ante su vista, cugndo se penetra en el interior de esas maravillosas Cuevas. Los extranjeros que han tenido el buen gusto de Hlegarse hasta la Mamada Atenas de Cuba, para visitar las Cuevas famosas, han salido de alli verdaderamente mar- avillados.

LES : People’s Forum ot the’ views af tt the editer Ned wd writers MITCHELL ON DEMOCRATIC UNITY Stephen A. Mitchell, chairman of the Democratic Na- ional Committee, recently called on his party for unity ex; rend ti anwai the as the only way to concentyate its strength. The National y Chairman spoke at a Jefferson-Jackson Dinner in Detriot. In a press conference, before his dinner speech, Mitchell called on the Northern and Southern wings of the party to meke up their differences. He admitted there had been a tendency in the party to take the South for granted ——the section which gave the Democratic Presidential candidate his only support in the recent election—and said party members sometimes forgot the great contribu- tions made to the party by Southern leaders in the past. Mr. Mitchell claimed that Northern and Southern Democrats had much in common although differing on civil rights, submerged lands and labor policies. But he expressed a belief that there was more unity in the Demo- cratic Party than in the Republican Party, even admitting Northern-Southern differences. Mitchell’s words were an attempt to patch strained relations between the liberal and conservative wings of the Democratic Party. ; Obviously, the senior party will have little chance to capture power again if divided in future elections. Mitch- ell has a difficult job in solidifying his pafty, since the dif- ferences have grown bitter in recent years, and since the trend to more liberal policies has steadily alienated the conservative section of the party. The success of the National Committee chairman, in his efforts to unify the party, may well hold the key to possible Democratic gains or triumphs in 1954 and 1956 elections, However, the major factor which will influence the 1956 election is the record of President Dwight D. Eisenhower and the new administration. Even though the Democratic Party is unified by 1956, if the new President and his aadministration have made a good record, the job of the Democrats will be admittedly difficult. it you are ignorant enough to be satisfied with your- self life is wonderful, We remind our readers that we welcome their tips on news stories, and appreciate their assistance.

The evidence comes from mon- keys, fed only chemical pill diets ; in which one or another vitamin or essential chemical was missing, If they didn’t get Vitamin B-6, pyridoxine, the monkeys in six to 18 months developed signs like those’ of hardening of human ar- teries. The monkeys grew old more quickly; their hair grayed and lost lustre, according to Drs. James F. Rinehart and L. D. Greenberg, | E ad If the BG was a to their food soon enough, the signs of/ar- tery hardening cleared up. Giving ‘B-6 didn’t make their gray hair turn back again to youthful color, however, Dr. Rinehart is studying the pos- sibility that human hardening of arteries may come either from too little B-6 or some érror or inef- fiency in the way that human bodies may use the vitamin. Hard- tome from some such fault. His tests on humans or animals do not show that taking Vitamin | B46 could cure hardening. But it might be slowed down or pre- vented if tests could show which people were possibly not getting enough vitamin, or were not mak-} ing the right use cf it over the years. years.
