200 Go On Trial In Havana Prison HAVANA (UPD — Nearly 200 men arrested in connection with last August's “invasion plot'* go on trial today in Havana's cabana fortress-prison. The prosecution has demanded the death penalty for 20-odd defendants who landed an airplane ' in Trinidad, Cuba, and fired on -.l< Cuban troops lying in wait for . • them. The state wants others '•/among the 190 defendants sen-| .r fenced to prison for 20. 2> or 30 years. - ■ Maj. William Morgan, former (Toledo! Ohioan who lost hi.; U.S.: X citizenship last year, is expected be a key witness for the prosecution. * . Morgan acted as a double agent tn-in the invasion, posing as one of its leaders while he kept Premier Fidel Castro's government informed of its progress. Some of the defendants on trial today were ar-| rested in Morgan's home. The ex-Amerlcan has charged | t that Dominican strong man Ra-1 ! fael L. Trujillo was "directly behind the plot." Cuba broke off t relations with the Dominican Ret public last year. I At latest reports. Castro was in t the eastern mountains which were *“his headquarters during the revo- . lotion attending “graduation exerf'eises" for student militiamen. It I’ was not immediately certan whether he would return for the trial. » The New Year’s weekend, markI ing the first anniversary of ex- !

Week Os Prayer j 'Editor s note: The Decatur minj Isterial association urges dailyi j prayer by Decatur residents dur-: I ing this Week of Prayer. Today's j suggk3hd text). Who Should Pray? Everyone is born with the ability to pray. It may remain childish and undeveloped. Constant atfen-, ition to material things may dull, the consciousness of the unseen. | But do not say, “I am not the pray-, mg type." If you are human you; can pray. The greatest praying is,' j a fine art. It requires effort and j , practice. But unlike all other arts, ' everyone has a natural talent for' it. Do not be discouraged if you j never get what others say they get through prayer. There are as | many sorts of prayer as there »re I human beings. You can learn from | [other people, but you can never' j completely copy them. No one is ever entirely satisfied with his ability to pray. There is always the double sense of great satisfaction and of something lack- ' ing. God is infinite. It is the feelI ing of missing something, even as 'we come closer to Him, which : makes our religious progress exI citing all through this life—and perhaps through aH the life to come. Eisenhower Plans South American Tour WASHINGTON I UPD — Diplomatic sources said today that President Eisenhower will annoiyfce this week his plans to visit four South American countries during the second half of February. The countries will be Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina and Chile. There is a remote chance that Venezuela may be added to the tour to emphasize U. S. support of the government of President Romulo Betancourt, they added. Eisenhower also might make brief refueling stop at Lima, Peru, en route Home. The President is expected to leave Washington Feb. 17 and arrive in Rio de Janeiro the next day. If he decided to visit Venezuela. the President may stop at Caracas on the way to Brazil. Visits to such countries as Bolivia, Ecuador and Colombia had to be ruled out because of altitude, which could be damaging to the President’s health. He suffered a heart attack tn 1955. ■ i

Report Chinese Reds Downed Indian Plane NEW DELHI IUPD — Reliable and official sources in Calcutta said today they believed the Chinese~Cmiixmntets shot down an Indian plane while it was dropping food supplies along the disputed_northeast bonier areas. The report, if confirmed,' would almost certainly Worsen relations between India and Communist China, now strained by a series of border incidents and Peiping’s claims to border territory considered by New Delh to be Indian territory. The plane, a twin-engined DC3 of the government-owned Indian Airlines Corp., crashed arid burned near the Indo-Tibetan border town of Taksing. six miles south of the McMahon line which India recofc nizes as the official border. Eight persons aboard were killed—four crew members and four laborers-engaged in the actual task of propping bags of food to famine-threatened villages in India’s mountainous Northeast Frontier Agency;The Hindustan Standard in Calcutta carried a similar report of the plane being shot down but identified the attacking force only as “foreign forces.” The New Delhi government rushed experts today to the scene, a remote and almost inaccessible area of jungle-covered mountains .which rise to 13,000 'and 15-.000 feet. It was estimated it would require at least two weeks to reach the scene, . I ■ ■ —-—r ————— T ? : , Quality I Photo Finishings AU Work Left Before 8:00 p. m. Monday Ready Wednesday at 10 a. m.
