In Cuban Capitol
By LARRY LALLEN
HAVANA, Of) — Speedy “war
crimes” trials for followers of fal
len dictator Fulgencio Batista
have begun in Cuba. Fifteen mili
tary officers already have been
executed.
Provisional President Manuel
Urrutia said thousands of persons
will be tried by revolutionary
courts in “the same manner as
war criminals were tried in Ger
many.” They will be charged with
crimes against the Cuban people.
At least 1,100 persons have been
reported arrested since Batista
fled to the Dominican Republic
a week ago and victorious rebel
leader Fidel Castro proclaimed
Urrutia as provisional president.
Gunfire flared briefly in Hava
na again Wednesday night.
The militia still is trying to eli
minate diehard Batista supporters,;
including members of the private
army called the Tigers which be

to the people. U. S. customs offi- j
cials said Masferrer’s party of 36
rnen had about $90,000 when it i
landed. The men were put on pa
role to the Miami Immigration
Office. *

London Bellmakers
Offer Free Repair Job
In The Wrong Century
PHILADELPHIA, UP> — The bell
is defective and the foundry that
cast it has offered to correct the
defect — free.
The offer came a little late
from the Maere and Stainbeck
Foundry of London, England. Per
haps if the firm’s predecessor, the
old Whitechapel Foundry, had
been as generous early in the last
century, the Liberty Bell wouldn’t
be cracked today.
“No thanks,” was the reply
mailed Wednesday by M. O. An
derson, superintendent of Inde
pendence Hall.
“I’m sure we wouldn’t be in
terested,” he said. “And I’m sure
the American people wouldn’t be
interested in having the crack
removed.”

• WASHINGTON, UP) — Several j
coal beds in the Beluga Lake area
60 miles northwest of Anchorage, '
may prove to be economically im- j
portant, the Interior Department
said Thursday.
The department, releasing a re
port by the Bureau of Mines, said
the area is marked by many coal
outcrops 5 to 20 feet thick and at
least two coal beds have been
found more than 30 feet thick.
“Although the region is unin
habited, has no roads or trails, and
is largely unexplored, the bur
eau’s reconnaissance study reveals
low-cost, open-cut mining, coupled
with on-site generation of elec
tricity, may prove feasible,” the
report said.
“Development of these resources
would have an important bearing
on plans for future expansion of
power production facilities in the
Anchorage area,” wrote R. P. Ma
loney of Juneau, mine examination
and exploration engineer for the
bureau and author of the report.
Most of the coal outcrops were
found along the banks of the Be
luga River and Coal Creek, both
in the vicinity of Beluga Lake.

Ike Disturbed By
Demonstrations
Against
WASHINGTON, UR — President
! Eisenhower, noting demonstra
tions against Anastas Mikoyan in
this country, today called for
courteous treatment of the Soviet
visitor.
The White House made it clear
that Eisenhower is disturbed by
these demonstrations against the
Soviet Deputy Premier, now
touring the United States.
In Cleveland, Mikoyan was
greeted 'by chanting, shouting,
sign-waving demonstrators. One
young woman, identified as a
Hungarian refugee, was arrested
for throwing a rock in the gen
eral direction of the Russian
party.
Protesting pickets also were on
hand at Detroit when Mikoyan
arrived there yesterday.
Eisenhower’s Press Secretary,
James C. Hagerty, was asked at
a news conference about the pres
ident’s reaction to such demon
strations. Hagerty promptly pulled
out a prepared statement. |
“The President hopes that!
wherever he goes in this country, |
Mr. Mikoyan will be met with the |
courtesy Americans traditionally j
show visitors from abroad.
“The President wants Mr. Mi-1
koyan to see the real America, so
that when he returns home he will
be able to carry an accurate pic
ture of our good manners, as well
as our strength, our confidence,
and our determination in the cause
of freedom and peace.”

Mikoyan Tours Ford Motor Company;
Emphasizes His Desire For Peace
By THOMAS P. WHITNEY
DETROIT, <#> — Touring Soviet
Deputy Premier Anastas Mikoyan
arrived in Detroit yesterday at
Willow Run Airport without any
picket incidents.
His arrival coincided with a
statement by President Eisen
hower in Washington urging cour
teous treatment for the Russian
and deploring demonstrations by
pickets.
Mikoyan stepped off his com
mercial airplane after a flight
from Cleveland.
Baltic national groups had pick-!
ets at the airport. But officials
rushed the Soviet official out a
rear door of the airplane hangar
and drove from the airport by a
round-about route.
State police troopers lined over
passes along the Willow Run ex
pressway to protect Mikoyan’s
caravan as it passed en route to j
the Ford Motor Co. research cen
ter in Dearborn.
The Soviet Deputy Premier met
with some of the Midwest’s weal
thiest industrialists at Cleveland
Wednesday in a visit marked spor
adically with taunting street dem
onstrations by Hungarian freedom |
fighters and immigrants from j
other Iron Curtain countries.
1
In a brief airport talk, Mikoyan
reiterated a desire for peace be
tween the United States and Rus
sia, saying “my best wish is that
there be no war between our two
countries or any other countries.”
He noted that the two countries
lived under different systems of
government but said this should
not prevent them getting along
together.
Mikoyan was whisked through
the Ford research labs and on to
the giant Rouge plant of the Ford
Motor Company. The Rouge fac
tories sprawl over 1,200 acres,
employ 40,000 men and are gen
erally rated the largest one-com
pany development anywhere.
Mikoyan is paying no attention
at all to demonstrations against
his visit. He is firmly pursuing
his policy of emanating friend
ship, good humor and advocacy of
better political and trade rela
tions between the Soviet Union
and the United States — and more
contacts in general.
