Ex-President of Cuba
Arrested For Conspiring
Deport Arms From U. S.
MIAMI, Fla., Iffl—Cuba’s former
President, Carlos Pricf Socarras,
and his interior minister were free
under heavy bond Saturday on a
charge of conspiring to export
arms and implements of war from
the United States without a li
cense.
“The implication is quite clear
that these munitions were to be
used for a revolution in Cuba,”
said U.S. District Attorney James
L. Guilmartin.
Prio, 50, and Segundo Curti, 53,
his interior minister until Fulgen
cio Biftista overthrew his regime
in a bloodlesss coup on March 10,
1952, were taken in custody at
Prio’s home-in-exile here Friday
after their indictment in New
York.
After posting bond, the dapper
Prio issued a statement in which
he denied the charge and said he
would fight it.
Guilmartin requested $100,000
bond for Prio and said the quanti
ty of arms and ammunition in
volved in the charges was “con
siderable.”
The arrests came on the heels
of unconfirmed reports that a rev
olution had been scheduled in
Cuba next Monday. This is Cuba’s
national day of mourning for dead
patriots.

I had the finest gold nuggets in
Nome. But, Oh, my! Look what
Scott has for the Roof Garden
huge, beautiful, rare, large speci

my collection. But they are not
for sale. They will be given away j
at the Roof Garden. Those old

Northwest Files ‘Emigrant
Fares’ With CAB For
Trans-Pacific Travel
WASHINGTON, (R—Northwest
Airlines filed transpacific “emi
grant fares” with the Civil Aero
nautics Board Friday.
They match fares already in ef
fect on Canadian Pacific Airlines
— $500 from Hong Kong to the
U.S. west coast, effective Jan. 1,
! and $450 from Tokyo to the west
coast, effective Jan. 15.
The Hong Kong fare is $226 less
than the regular one-way fare,
while that from Tokyo is $200
under the regular fare. The new
fares are similar to those which
Northwest recently proposed —
and then at the Board’s request
withdrew—for transpacific tour
ist-class operations.
Northwest said the new fares
are only for “bona fide emigrants”
' from the Orient to the U.S. west
coast. They will remain in effect
until March 31. Airlines operating
across the Pacific agreed at Hono
lulu last month to inaugurate
tourist-class fares in that area on
April 1.

MADRID, Spain, (R— Twenty

urday in the wreckage of a Span
ish transport plane with 33 per

An airline company spokesman
announced that 10 o’f the surviv
ors, including Paul J. Douglass, 26,
a courier for the U.S. embassy in
Paris, had arrived in ^Madrid and

of Somo Sierra found the wreck
age early Saturday. He reported
12 survivors. Those who reached
the hospital here had to make
their way down through rugged
mountainous terrain during the
night.
Sluice Box Johnson, examining
the big gold nuggets at the Drug
Store was heard to say: "Looks
to me them there nuggets came j
from the Mother Lode in the Kou
garok." Scott shook his head —
Getting pretty close, though. We'll
tell you at the Roof Garden.
