Revolt in Cuba
Crushed Quickly:
3 Rebels Killed
SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Iff*—
About 200 armed civilians at
tacked two police stations here
today in an attempt to spark a
revolt against President Fulgencio
Batista. The government claimed
the rebellion was crushed in less
than two hours.
Three rebels were reported
killed.
Gen. Francisco Tabernilla, chief
of the armed forces, said the situ
ation was under control and that
the army was rounding up small
groups of dispersed rebels.
The insurrectionists, many of
them wearing olive-colored uni
forms similar to the army’s, at
tacked the national police and
maritime police stations at 5.45
this morning.
Many of the attackers wore
armbands identifying themselves
as adherents of the “July 26 move
ment,” a slogan adopted by Fidel
Castro, who has been charged by
the government with plotting
against the Batista i egime from
his place of exile in Mexico.
July 26 is the date in 1953 when
Castro led an unsuccessful upris
ing here and attacked army bar
racks.
Santiago de Cuba, a city of
300,000 and Cuba’s second largest,
is 500 miles east of Havana and
capital of Oriente Province,
which long has been a hotbed of
Castro’s adherents.
THIRD WORLD WAR
WOULD COST U.S.
$4,000,000,000,000
HARTFORD, Conn. (#)—A third
world war would cost the United
States four trillion dollars, the
National Resources Conference
was told Wednesday.
“There is only one thing that is
worth that price,” said ftavy Capt.
Lawrence Smith, “and that is
freedom.”
Capt. Smith said the estimate of
the fantastic cost is based on what
it cost this country in previous
wars.
“Each one that we have fought
has cost roughly 10 times more
than the one that preceded it,"
Capt. Smith said.
He said World War II cost this
country $383 billion.
Flying Boxcar Landed
After Crew Bailed Out
FRANKFURT, Germany, Wt—A
U.S. Air Force pilot brought a
C-119 Flying Boxcar in safely to
day after scraping a tree in the
Taunus Mountains and ordering
his nine-man crew to bail out.
All nine crewmen were found
unhurt by ground rescue teams
which started searching the snow
covered mountains after the pilot
landed the big plane at Frank
fort’s main air base.
The pilot was Lt. James L. Jar
rett, 28, of Memphis, Tenn.

What a night I !
WEEK OF HEAVY FOG
IN VANCOUVER ENDS
VANCOUVER, B.C. WV_A week
long fog ended here last night.
With the lifting of the murk,
five deep-sea freighters entered
the harbor in less than an hour
and others slipped out to sea after
days of waiting.
The eight d?ys of continuous
bad flying weather cost airlines
an estimated $300,000.
Alaska Budget
Of $30,000,000 for
’ST-’SB Proposed
‘JUNEAU, (JV—A budget recom
mendation calling for expenditure
of about $30,000,000 for operation
j of the territorial government in !
| the fiscal year of 1957 and 1958 I
! was drawn up yesterday by the
Department of Finance.
The proposed budget, the result
of weeks of culling and trimming
by Budget Director Richard Freer
and Finance Director John Mc
Kinney, now has about two
months to ferment in the minds
of those concerned before it comes
up before the territorial legisla
ture.
There was little question that
the budget would be one of the
most knotty problems the 'egisla
ture will have to solve when it
convenes here next January 24.
Freer called the budget recom
mendations “the closest thing to
holding the line on expenses that
we could come up with.” He said
as nearly as could be figured, the
proposed budget matched expect
ed territorial income for the 1957
59 biennium.
Many government officials; how
ever, privately were predicting
that nothing short of a tax in
crease of some sort would keep
Alaska operating in the black in
the coming two years.
It appeared, however, that the
legislature would be more in- |
dined to do further tax work on [
the budget rather than impose
any tax increase.
Program Considered for
I Mass Building of Shelters
! Against Nuclear Attack
WASHINGTON Oft—The Eisen
hower Administration is reported
j considering a mass shelter build
| ing program for civil defense
j which ultimately might cost bil
lions of dollars.
Officials in position to know
i said Thursday several different
| proposals are under study which
contemplate asking Congress for
upwards of $200 million to launch
the program next year.
These officials said the propo
sals are designed to complement
the program for evacuation of
critical target areas.
It was pointed out that Val Pe
terson, federal civil defense ad
ministrator, said in a speech Oct.
10 that his agency is vitally inter
ested in shelter proposals but
there is no single solution.
He said there should be a bal
ance between evacuation and shel- j
ter, reiterating that shelters would I
not protect from the full force of j
thermonuclear explosions.

Indian Youth, 16,
Admits He Set
Huge Forest Fire
SAN DIEGO, iff*—Investigators
say an Indian youth has admitted
setting a fire which caused 11
deaths and burned over more than
44,000 acres before it was con
trolled.
U.S. Forest Service investigator
El wood Stone reported 16-year
old Gilberf Paipa told him:
“I just got an idea to throw a
match in the grass to see if it
would burn.”
The fire started on the camp
site in the Inaja Indian Reserva
tion where Paipa’s family has
lived for twcf generations, Stoije
said he took a match found where
the fire started and showed it to
the boy. “He looked at the match
for about a half an hour and then
told me the whole story,” Stone
said.
The five-day fire was controlled
Wednesday after firemen, aided
by tanker planes, knocked down
a new outbreak which briefly
threatened homes in Santa Ysabel
and Wynola. The burned area in
Cleveland National Forest has a
90-mile perimeter.
Mrs. Ella Bjornsiad returned
to Nome today after a three week
visit with her daughter Katherine
in Anchorage.

Longshoremen
On West Coast
Agree to Pay Hike
SAN FRANCISCO, UP—S h i p
owners and 16,000 West Coast
longshoremen agreed on a 16-cent
hourly pay hike Wednesday.
The boost, retroactive to Oct. 1,
gave stevedores a wage of $2.45
an hour. Only wage terms were
open for review. The no-strike
contract runs until June 1958.
A joint announcement of the
settlement was made by the Pa
cific Maritime Assn, and the In
‘.ernational Longshoremen’s and
Warehousemen’s Union.
Harry Bridges, ILWU president,
got permission from his followers
to call a strike, if advisable, in
sympathy with striking Interna
tional Longshoremen’s Association
members at East and Gulf Coast
ports. An ILWU spokesman re
marked that decision to call such
a strike is “a bridge to be crossed
when we get to it.” But a PMA
spokesman said such a strike
would violate the West Coast con
tract’s no-strike clause.
