1 Truman Visits
In Key West j
K a
KEY WEST. Fla. (AP) — Former President Harry
S. Truman has been greeted at this island in the sun by
dismal weather. Key lime pie and a newspaper editorial
tha t aid: "Welcome. Mr. President, to a town that loves
_ you."
9 The Key West Citizen, recalled In an editorial that
Truman came to Key West 11 times as president, de-
scribing him as "a guy who needed and deserved respite
Irom the tensions of his job."
“He could slip away from his bodyguard and take an
early morning stroll around town without fear of harm.”
the editorial said, adding that residents said good morn-
ing and went on about their business.
"I like to come to Key West just because of that,"
Truman said.
The 83-year-old ex-president was up at 6 a m. Sun-
day at his waterfront villa.
Negroes Win Ruling
9 WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court made
Negroes’ access to public accommodations easier Mon-
day by ruling that proprietors who discriminate have to
pay lawyers’ fees if the Negroes take their case to court
and win.
An 8-0 unsigned ruling interpreting the 1961 federal
Civil Rights Act said those who are discriminated
against serve "the public interest" by going to c ourt.
If they had to pay their lawyers’ fees, the decision
aaid, few would be in a position to take legal action.

U'h Jarring Experience
Cubans Go Rumless
HAVANA (AP) — Cubans havp just
endured their first non-alcoholic week-
end in memory. It bewildered most of
them.
Neither guerrilla fighting, revolts,
World War II or U. S. prohibition ever
cut Cubans off from their rum, so it
was a jarring experience.
"I didn't know what to do with my-
self Saturday night," said one swinger
who frequents the local cabarets.
Thousands of others lined up at the
movies, went to the beach Sunday if
they had gasoline which is rationed, or
just wandered about.
Thousands were kept busy, however,
on the governen'.’s ambitious agricul-
tural programs.
The dry weekend resulted from an
order by Prime Minister Fidel Castro
closing all private and state bars and
cabarets. Beer and wine with meals
were the only exceptions.
The shutdown of clubs and cabarets
was unexpected. It came Saturday
night just before the help in these
places W'ere reporting for work. It
caught hundreds of Cubans, including
government officials, by surprise as
they prepared to go out on the town.
Castro has said the government will
put an end to the last vestige of capi-
talism and eliminate "parasites and
exploiters" accused of living off the
sweat of Cuban workers. But some ob-
servers predicted that cabarets with
big shows and the better bars would re-
open in a couple of weeks.
Thp crackdown apparently stemmed
from economic rather than moral rea-
sons. Because of the poor sugar har-
vest this year, the government needs
all ihe manpower it can get.
"But I can’t see how cutting out a
working man’s beer will save much,"
said one worker.
Cuban newspapers haven't reported
the crackdown on alcohol yet. but the
national radio broadcast interviews
with Havana housewives supporting
ihe closing of the bars.
Cargill Move Delayed
WASHINGTON (AP) —
Sharp increases in narcot-
ics and draft-law convic-
M tions have helped boost the
federal prison system's
population while lowering
the average convict's age.
Officials said the prison
system experienced last
year the sharpest increase
of youth commitments in
its history. The average
age of the prison popula-
tion dropped from 29.5
years in 1966 to 28.5 years
at the end of 1967.
The jump in the federal
system’s over-all popula-
tion reversed a five-year
decline.
U. S. marshals were I attending the former aitor-
Plane Losses Totaled
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U. S. loss of planes and
helicopters in the Vietnam war now exceeds its aircraft
losses in Korea — but still is far below the World War II
toll.
Pentagon figures show a total of 3.487 U. S. helicop-
ters and fixed-wing planes have been destroyed in Viet-
nam.
In the Korean War, the total was 3,001.
The United States recorded 27,137 aircraft losses lo
enemy action in World War II. Figures were not avail-
able, but losses as a result of accidents and other non-
combat causes probably ran into many thousands.
Auto Workers Voting
awaiting word Monday from
a government physician be-
fore making final plans to
move O. A. Cargill sr., for-
mer Oklahoma City mayor
facing a five-year perjury
sentence, to the federal med-
ical center at Springfield,
Mo.
Cargill, now in Mercy’ Hos-
pital. was ordered to the
medical center last Friday
after a hearing before U. S.
District Judge Roy W. Har-
per.

Youth Takes Over
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Mayor
A .1. Cervantes and 28 other
city officials give up their
jobs Monday without even so
much as a primary election
battle. Youths participating
in the DeMolay's Youth Gov-
ernment Day are silting in.
ney refused, however, to ap-
prove the move and Marshal
Rex Hawks asked a govern-
ment physician to examine
Cargill to determine if the
move can be safely made.
Monday, it was indicated
the medical report will be
sent to Judge Harper in St.
Louis before final action is
taken.
Cargill was convicted in
1965 of lying to a federal
grand jury regarding finan-
cial dealings with members
of the state supreme court.
DETROIT (AP) — Vot-
ing continued Monday
among American Motors
Corp. workers on a tenta-
tive contract agreement
between the firm and the
United Auto Workers Un-
ion.
AMC ordered production
suspended at its Milwau-
kee body plant Monday lo
allow voting by 2.500 work-
ers on the s e 111 e m e n t.
which was reached Friday
night.
Union officials Monday
count the votes of workers
at the Milwauec parts de-
pot, who cast ballots Sun-
d a y. AMC production
workers and skilled
tradesmen at Kenosha,
Wis., will vote Thursday.
Unlike its action on the
tentative contract to cover
14,500 auto workers, the
UAW failed to recommend
acceptance of a proposal
for some 3,000 workers at
AMC's . Kelvinator appli-
ance division in Grand
Rapids, Mich. The UAW is
pressing f or additional
wage increases at Kelvina-
tor.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) —

sembly has approved a rec-
ord 502 measures so far, and
Gov. James A. Rhodes has
vetoed just one.

Here's the answer.
Our Data-Phone*
medical data service
lets doctors send
electrocardiograms
(EKG’s) directly
from the patient to
a remote point over
regular telephone lines.
With this new service, your doctor can
send a "picture" of your heart action to a
specialist for immediate consultation. You can
be in the doctor’s office, in a hospital examination
room, or in your own bed. The specialist can be
cross-town or cross-country.
Data-Phone medical data service is
particularly helpful to doctors who aren’t trained
in EKG analysis, and to patients who can’t go
to a specialist because of health or distance.
Our continuing goal is to meet the special
needs of all our customers.
