Cuban Government Claims Arms Found HAVANA (UPl)—The Cuban government said today a fisherman has found an “enormous shipment” of American arms and explosives in an underwater cache off the north coast of western Cuba. A government statement printed in ' Havana morning newspapers said the materials were intended for sabotage, anti-government uprisings and the creation of “bandit gangs.’ The statement said the fish erman found the arms, explosives and a large quantity of Cuban banknotes in nine metal boxes >and eight waterproof drums tied together underwater near Cayo Las Cubas, a small offshore island. The cache was secured by a rope to a shrub on the island’s shore, the statement said. It did not say when the cache was found. The government communique said armed forces x personnel who opened the boxes and drums found 15 Garand rifles, 12 Browning pistols, 4 packets of C 4 explosive, 10 antipersonnel mines, 16 packages containing 260 timed detonating fuses and a package containing 15,000 Cuban pesos in bills of 5, 10 and 20 pesos. “The seizure of these arms and materials for uprisings, terrorism and sabotage, along with their unmistakable North American origin and the method of infiltration employed, shows the responsibility and direct participation of the government of the United States in this new act of subversive nature and open interference in Cuban affairs,” the communique said.

UPI Reporter Is Presented Pulitzer Prize NEW YORK (UPI) — Twelve Pulitzer Prizes and a special citation in journalism and letters were awarded Monday but for the first time since the prizes were established 47 years ago there was no award in three major fields of art. Merriman Smith, White House reporter for United Press International, was Editor Os Student Paper Is Suspended ROCHESTER, Mich. (UPI)— The newly appointed editor of the Oakland University student newspaper was suspended Monday by school officials for his refusal to suppress a campus “Kinsey Report.” Wolf Metzger, 20, a native of Germany and an economics major, was notified of his suspension as editor of the student weekly, “The Observer,” by Chancellor D. B. Varner. The action came after Varner met with the newspaper’s publication committee and advisers. Varner also ordered copies of the newspaper’s May 1 issue, which headlined Metzger's story about the survey of student sexual conduct and an editorial critical of the administration, destroyed at the printing shop. The issue was to have been Metzger’s first since being elevated from managing editor to editor this semester. A three-part questionnaire inquiring into the sexual habits of the 190 students living in the Michigan State University branch’s three dormitories touched off the incident. About 150 male and 140 woman students were polled. Results Not Tabulated Metzger said results of the survey have not been tabulated but That “80 per cent” of the students polled filled out the questionnaires in early April. He said the idea for the survey began last semester because of “student concern over rumors that the coed pregnancy and dropout rate at Oakland University was skyrocketing.” Metzger’s story and editorial did not list survey findings but reported the fact that he had been ordered to suppress any such findings by Varner. The editorial said the university’s suppression order reflected “embarrassment and hyprocrisy and the desire to keep ‘O.U. kids’ better informed about standards at Harvard and Radcliffe than at Oakland.” Metzger’s story said Varner, in conferences with him last Monday and Tuesday, “stressed his belief that whatever the outcome (of the survey) it would be detrimental to the university arid every girl living in the dormitories.” Received Complaints Varner said he had received complaints from parents when rumors of the survey began circulating among students between semesters this year. Varner said he had advised Metzger against publishing the survey results because he (Varner) had been told by some of the students who filled out the questionnaire that they “treated it as a joke and deliberately gave false answers. ——— “Obviously a survey of this nature would reflect poorly upon our students and result in unfavorable publicity for the university,” the chancellor said. “Also I questioned the propriety of such an undertaking by the school newspaper in the first place.” He said one of the reasons for the survey was to “try to firid out if the campus environment —dorm life in general, might have an influence on the sexual habits of students.”

awarded the Pulitzer Prize for national reporting for his coverage of the assassination of President Kennedy last Nov. 22. Smith, 51, has covered the White House for UPI for 22 years — spanning five presidential administrations—and in tenure is the senior member of the presidential <press corps. Omitted in the Pulitzer awards presented Monday by the trustees of Columbia University were prizes in the fields of fiction, drama and music. The Pulitzer advisory board, which makes recommendations on candidates to the Columbia trustees, reported that the jurors in the three arts fields did not submit a single nomination. Awards were presented in the fields of biography, history and general non-fiction. In addition to Smith, the individual winners of Pulitzer Prizes in journalism were: News photography—Robert H. Jackson of the Dallas Times Herald for his picture of the fatal shoting of President Kennedy’s alleged assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, by Jack Ruby. International reporting — Malcolm W.

Editorial cartooning — Paul Conrad of the Denver Post (now with the Los Angeles Times) for his distinctive work over an entire year rather than for a specific cartoon. The St. Petersburg (Fla.) Times was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for meritorious public service “for its aggressive investigation of the Florida Turnpike authority which disclosed widespread illegal acts and resulted in a major reorganization of the state’s road construction program.” The Times ran a series of distiches, editorials and photographs exposing spending and financing practices of the state agency. The Gannett newspapers received a special citation for

their project, “The Road to Integration,” which was cited as a distinguished example *bf the use of a newspaper group’s resources to complement the

WHY FEWER BABIES DIE TODAY Fifty years ago, one out of every 10 babies died during its first year of life. Today, infant mortality during that first year has declined to only one out of 40 babies. Much of the credit for this huge drop belongs to the potent drugs that help defenseless infants to fight the diseases that once meant certain death. That's why we say .. .
