Castro lakes Over Today As Cuban Premier HAVANA (UPI) — Revolutionary leader Fidel Castro formally takes up the reins of government today as premier of Cuba, at 32 the youngest in the turbulent 57year history of the Caribbean island republic. Intimates said the tbearded young lawyer would maSe labor and agrarian problems his primary objectives. Castro was named premier Saturday by President Manuel UrruJose Miro Cardona, in what was generally Viewed as the first step toward the presidency. A revision in the provisional constitutiorjjtast week lowered the age requieSjtient for president from 3S to 30 years. New Trial Starts The political developments virtually overshadowed the opening today of a new trial for Maj. Jesus Sosa Blanco, the Batista officer branded Cuba’s “No. 1 war criminal." Sosa Blanco was condemned to death by a military tribunal sitting in the Sports Palace last month. Some 30,000 spectators jammed the arena during the trial which was broadcast and televised.. The proceedings drew heavy criticisms from abroad. The death sentence against Sosa Blanco was annulled and a pew trial ordered held at Camp Liberty before the same military tribunal.

tions as well as foreign and local newsmeh to attend the proceedings. It said the trial will be! broadcast but not televised, and the general public will not be allowed entry. Castro, who led the yearslong campaign which ousted dictator Fulgencio Batista, has taken leave of his post as supreme commander of the armed forces to head the government. Informed sources said the military post probably will be given to his younger brother and comrade-in-arms, Raul, recently named second in command. Batista Shrugs Off Extradition Effort Donaimaan Republic (UPl)—Former Cuban President Fulgencio Batista today shrugged off revolutionary government attempts to extradite him from the Dominican Republic. He said the request to the Dominican government could be expected to be rejected. Batista, who fled his country Jan. 1, now is living at the luxu-i rious seafront Hotel Jaragua with about 100 Cubans who came here with him. Many are teen-aged boys and girls. Although he marked his 58th birthday Jap. 16, he looks 10 years younger, with only a touch of gray in his black hair. Batista occupies a third floor suite and often stands on his wide balcony protected by a red awning observing American tourists and children around the pool below. He does not join them. “I’m not much of a swimmer,’’ Batista said in the course of an interview. “I keep in shape with calisthenics. Sometimes I play squash or take a walk.” Whenever he walks a Dominican army colonel and his own aides accompany him. If a passing tourist or a hotel worker greets him he replies affably. Batista was as bitter as ever toward Cuban revolutionists and their leader, Fidel Castro. He called Castro “an open tyrant and maximum executioner of civilians and military men who did their duty.” “If there were excessive measures in the heat of the struggle, they must be attributed in a 1 greater part to them (the reb jels),” he said;

The officer stated that the Longsworth auto was damaged to the extent of $125 and the damage to the fence was listed at $45. The sheriff’s department is in- " vestigating the incident. Dulles Took Cancer News In His Stride WASHINGTON (UPl'—Secretary of State John Foster Dulles took the news that he had cancer again without batting an eye. Associates of the 76-year-old cabinet member said he showed no emotion and made no particular comment when his physicians informed him Saturday of their finding. I It was apparent Dulles strongly suspected even before he entered the hospital that there was a recurrence of the malignancy for '(•SMtlCh*' he 1 - under werrt-'-intesttnah I surgery in 1956. There never was any question, friends said, that Dulles should be told directly by his doctors, of the seriousness of his illness and they informed him without delay. While medical "authorities are divided in their opinion on whether a cancer patient should be notified of the nature of his disease, the doctors felt for three reasons that Dulles should get the word immediately. First. Dulles had a record of cancer and it would have been difficult to mislead him on his symptoms. Second, Dulles is the type of man who likes to face the facts and wants them unvarnished. Third he is a man of great physical stamina with a fighting spirit. After his operation, Dulles told, Maj. Gen. Leonard Heaton, commandant of Walter Reed Army Medical Center, that he felt better than he had in two months. Associates said Dulles has been in great pain since last December and hafebeen restricted to a rigid bland diet. On his recent trip to Europe, he had difficulty retaining food. Under the circumstances, friends said, Dulles probably was anxious to hav: "Tits ailment diagnosed so he co’-lo f&t on with the treatment err] return as soon as possiblt to his work. ,—, r —’ — Oil production in Venezuela last year averaged 2,799,00 barrels a day. - Last Time Tonight - Technicolor Smash!

Senate G.O.P. Leader Differs With Johnson WASHINGTON (UPI) — Senate GOP Leader Everett M. Dirksen took direct issue today with Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson in the running battle ci the budget which is being waged in Congress. Dirksen asserted that the last Congress voted $3,788,000,000 more than proposed in President Eisenhower’s budget estimates. Johnson told the Senate a week ago that the last Congress cut appropriations S 5-660.000.000 below the President’s budget estimates. The Illinois Republican also differed sharply with Johnson over spending figures for the last Six years since Eisenhower took office. Johnson claimed that the la_st three Congresses cut presidential budget requests by $22,637,703,518. Dirksen offered Budget Bureau statistics to show that the six-year reduction amounted to some $6,592,000,000 — thanks mainly to heavy cuts in the last budget submitted by former President Harry S. Truman. Dirksen did not challenge the accuracy of Johnson's figures on reductions in budget- estimates. But he added in sums authorized by Congress which do not require appropriations, authorizations for which no appropriations were pro*vided, and increases in federal loan programs. Such items, Dirksen said, "are what might be called the door approach to the Treasury. It is an interesting approach and how it fools the pepole.” —_ Dirksen also included potential effects of approved bills — like last year’s airport program — which were vetoed by the President. His summary also took into account the failure of Congress raise revenues £.s requested by the President - icr example the refusal to Iriv' postal rates in 1957. 1 i In another development, House Republicans challenged the price tag put on a housing bill by its Democratic sponsors. GOP spokesmen charged that the cost will amount to $5,800,000,000 rather than the 52.100.000.000 claimed by the Democrats.

Scientists Cured By Radical Process BELGRADE, Yugoslavia (UPU —Five Yugoslav scientists, who suffered heavy doses of nuclear radiation, atrrived today (from Paris where French doctors reported them cured by ’ a revolutionary medical process — the transfusion of healthy bone marrow. The French doctors hailed the recovery of the scientists tys a milestone in modern medical science and a big step toward reducing the perils of persons who work with atomic reactors. It was the first time the transfusion of bee# . marrow w*.s carried out successfully with humans, i -tT, lt is the happiest day of my life.” said Mis Roksanda gubic, 24, one of the scientists. “We owe our lives to the'magnificent Work of the doctors at the Curio Hospital in Paris and the sacrifices of French citizens who volunteered to give up substances from their marrow bone- “ Without the transfusion of this substance, we would all be dead by now,” she said. Six atomic experts absorbed theoretically fatal doses of neutron and gamma rays last Oct. 15 when Yugoslavia’s experimental reactor suddenly went haywire, the doctors said. One of the Experts died later. It was figured that each of the scientists received a nuclear “jolt” of between 700 to 1,000 roentgens, the measure of the radiation named after the discoverer of the X-ray. Theoretically, any dose over 600 roentgens is considered enough to kill a perw» within a short time. Dayton C. Young 'ls Taken By Death Dayton C.
