WHY THE IRON CURTAIN? Three staff sergeants of the Yugoslav Air Force: re- cently answered the question why the Communists main, tain the Iron Curtain at the borders of all Communist countries. The three Yugloslav sergeants, who had been training in the United States, learning to fly jet fighter planes, deserted to seek U. S. citizenship. Their reason was the belief that citizens had no rights in their Communist country. Each of the three had just completed a six-months’ course under a training program designed to teach the Yugloslay Air Force to fly and sérv- ice American jet planes. : It will be recalled that Marshal Tito was extremely reluctant‘to permit many American instructors and*other military personnel into Yugoslavia when this program was discussed in its initial stages. The Yugoslavs, attempting to desert, have obviously discovered the falsehoods re- peatedly voiced by the Communist Government in Yugo- slavia, They are, no doubt, only afew of the Yugoslav trainees who would like to destert but who have been com- Pelied to abandon any such idea by personal or family ties in Yugoslavia. We think the action of the three Yugoslav sergeants one of the best examples seen recently in answer to the question why the Communists always habitate behind an Iron Curtain, The curtain hides weakness, poverty, back- wardness and false propaganda. That holds true in every Communist country, and the elimination of the Iron Cur- tain would spread dissatisfaction into every corner of Com- munist countries, especially those nearer the democratic powers and who have had intimate relations with the West during, or prior to, World War II. Behind the Iron Curtain there is considerable military strength and a well- concealed state of poverty and primitiveness. Concealing this latter condition is the main purpose of the Iron Cur- tain. eee ees A pretty girl need not rush into matrimony. Intelligence is not indicated by a loud mouth.

Bayarno fué un cacicazgo indio. Su poblacién ascendia a mas de dos mil habitantes. Cuando Cristobal Colén lego a Cuba, ya Bayamo existia desde hacia afios. Todos los historiadores, desde Fray Bartolomé de las Casas, hasta mi| querido amigo el Dr. Ramiro Guer- ra, estan de acuerdo en este par- ticular. El Adelantado Diego Ve- iazquez, no fué su fundador, sino sencillamente: su propulsor. Los fundadores de Bayamo fueron ex- clusivamente los indios y su funda- cién, por no existir datos ante- riores al descubrimiento, se pierde | en la noche de los tiempos. Pero hay algo mas todavia a este res- pecto. Se sabe perfectamente que el vocablo “BAYAMO” es una pa-| labra de origen indio y que pro- } viene de lo voz “bayam’’, nombre dado por los aborigenes al “‘arbol de la sabiduria” a cuya sombra, segin la leyenda, las fieras, despues de permanecer ba- jo ella, se tornan en mansas, como corderillos. Se sabe, asimismo, que Bayamo era una comarca religio- a. Este extremo lo aclaré sufiente- y no vale la pena discutirlo. Este Pezuela, el unico historia- dor que se aventura a dudar del primitivo asiento de la que luego fuera la villa de San Salvador de Bayamo, asegura, sin embargo. que cuando Panfilo Narvaez fu atacado por los jndios, al llegar a la Comarea de Bayamo, “repues: tos los espafoles, reconocieron el pueblo” (Diccionario Enciclopédi eo, Panfilo de Navarez) El Dr. Ramiro Guerra, uno de los mas eminentes y veridicos historiadores de Cuba, dice que “Narvaez pene- tro en la regién de Bayamo, una de las mas pobladas de la Isla” Todos los historiadores, que cono- | cemos, estan conformes con esto, Es pues, un helho historiso demos- en sus origenes, una poblacién india BUCKLEY Ahora bien, Diego Velazquez, despues del suplicio del bravo | cacique Hatuey, en el afio de 1513, fundo la Villa de San Salvador, en Yara, provincia de Macaca.

Wentzel Corpus Christi, Texas ‘leave I shall take sweet memories | TODAY'S BUSINESS By SAM DAWSON NEW YORK t®—The age of the air-conditioned home is at hand. Just as Americans long ago came to insist on central heating for their homes, so they will soon de- mand central cooling. That’s the opinion of leaders of the industry that brags it is the fastest growing wonder boy in the appliance field, They say only a major business slump can slow them down. Sales of room air conditioners are zooming. Even more spectacu- jlar gains this year and next are predicted for the central units that either heat or cool the entire home. Just as important, profit-wise, is the spread of air conditioning through industry—wiht 200 differ- ent groups counted as customers— {and through the world of business. Offices, hotels, motels, banks, and auto are being made inde- pendent of the weather. A Ships are becoming air-condi- tioned—with ysome saying it even Teduces seasickness. A New Orleans Catholic church reports that after it installed a cooling system Sunday attendance jumped from 1,611 to 2,334. Air conditioning isn’t new. In the Southwest people have used win- dow air coolers for many years. Willis. Haviland Carrier started commercial air conditioning 50 years ago, But it is . just since World War II that the big home air condition boom has got under way. Last year 15,000 new homes were equipped with year-around air-conditioners; 420,000 room air conditioners were sold; and, in- cluding commercial-type coolers, the industry had 1% billion dollar retail sales. This year, says Cloud Wampler, president of Carrier Corp., 60,000 new homes will be equipped with units that cool or heat at the own- er’s will; an unestimated number of older homes will switch over to year-around units; 750,000 room air-conditioners will be sold; and retail sales should be around 2 billion dollars. He predicts that in five years 2 million homes will be complete- ly air conditioned. Six companies expect to turp out 100,000 or more room coolers each a year—Fedders-Quigan, Mitch- ef, York, Sutton, Carrier and Frigidaire, Seven companies expect to turn | out 5,000 or more home air condi- | jtioning units apiece — Carrier, |.Worthington, Servel, General Elec- Hy Remington, Chrysler and | | | | tric, York.
