Panama Invaders
Surrender Easily,
Expert Leniency
PANAMA, UP) — Cuban invaders
of Panama who surrendered with
out firing a shot arrived in the
capitol as captives during the
night in eight heavily guarded
. busses.
Informed sources said Fidel
Castro’s Cuban Embassy may seek
leniency for the small band who
threw themselves on the mercy of
the Panamanian courts in laying
down their arms.
Hundreds of curious Panaman
ians silently watched the 87 pris
oners — one a woman — marched
into jail.
They will be questioned before
the government decides what to
do with them.
A source with official connec
tions reported antigovernment
forces operating near the Carib
bean coastal town of Nombre De
Dios where the main group of the
Cuban invaders gave up Friday.
The strength of the rebels was
_ not determined. First reports did
not indicate whether they were
Panamanians who have been wag
ing hit-and-run attacks against the
government for weeks or new for
- eign invaders.
The back of the Cuban-based
expedition was believed broken,
however.
The bedraggled band of revo
. lutionists said they came to Pan
ama on being told the country
was ruled by a dictatorship —
“But we were wrong.”
Panama defenses — aided by
U. S. planes patrolling the coast
— kept on the alert against the
danger of more invasions.
Justice Minister J. D. Bazan said
the government was still on thd
lookout for two more invasion
ships which reportedly left a
Cuban port. But, he said, “they
may have turned back in view
of the failure of the first expe
dition.”
Anyone who is all wrapped up
in himself makes only a small
and rather uninteresting parcel.

Butler to J. P.
Morgan Can't Keep
Track of Income
DETROIT, UP) — George Alfred
Smith, a thrifty “gentleman’s
gentleman,” settled his case with
the U. S. government last week,
and a lot of folks who heard his
testimony wished they had bought
American Telephone and Tele
graph Co. stock in 1924 when
salesmen peddled it from door
to door.
“Nobody ever gave me a tip.”
said Smith, whose employers in
cluded the financier J. Pierpont
Morgan. “They’d say, though,
George, do you have any shares
of .such and such a stock.
“I would say no and then they’d
say, that’s too bad — it’s a very
well-managed company.”
Smith, 71, entered a plea of no
contest before Federal Judge Clif
ford O’Sullivan and was finbd
$6,500 for not paying enough in
come tax for 1952. Four other in
come tax charges against him were
dismissed after he paid $16,469 in
back taxes and penalties.
Smith, a butler for Wesson Sey
burn, a Detroit financier, makes
about $4,000 a year in-salary.
When a bystander estimated he
must have realized $200,000 in the
last ten years on the stock mar
ket, Smith replied: “If"would be
more like $400,000.”
Born in Britain, Smith came to
the United States in 1920. From
his modest savings he began to
invest.
Smith, impeccably attired in
gray, peered mildly through horn
rim glasses as he told of remem
bering when AT&T was knocking
on doors trying to sell stock. “I
had quite a bit of that,” he said.
Smith said he had no intention
of trying to defraud the govern
ment. “It suddenly got too big for
me,” he said of his income tax
return. “All of a sudden I found
that with all the stock splits and
dividends that I had lost track.*’

FOOLIN' THE FISH ...
BRANTFORD, Ont., tW—Homer
Gingrich tied a four-foot line to
his belt, ran it down the inside
of his trousers and went wading
two weeks ago on a private sanc
tuary near here.
Unbeknownst to him, a police
man’s wife was watching. She saw
Gingrich tug at his trousers, reach
down and unhook a speckled
trout at the cuff.
The man was fined $20 for fish
ing out of season.

Zero's-In On Anti-Freeze
ALTONA, Manitoba, OP — Zero,
a cow, is recovering with nothing
worse than a severe hangover to
day after celebrating the birth , of
her twin calves by drinking two
gallons of anti-freeze.
Her owner had left the liquid
in a bucket in his barn after drain
ing it from a tractor. Zero de
cided it was just the thing to
quench her thirst after the blessed
event.
The worried owner called veter
inarians, Agriculture Department
representatives and even the poi
son-center at the Winnipeg Chil
dren’s hospital seekin® an anti
dote. None could be round.
So Zero sweated it out.
Said a local garage operator:
“At least she won’t be bothered
by cool nights. She should be good
for two-below.”
