FOR A BETTER PENN STATE
"Panacea proposals, facile solu
tions, will only lead to disillusion
ment," Eisenhower told the Carib
bean section of the American As
sembly, a nonpartisan study group
in a report on his 10-day, four
nation tour of South America.
" . . . Obviously the major re
sponsibility for a nation's develop
ment falls upon its own people,
its own leaders."
Eisenhower took a brief rest
after the luncheon and then
changed to golf togs for a four
some on the resort's champion
' ship course, one of the finest
in the Caribbean.
Needs for mutual cooperation
and for self-help were kindred
themes in Eisenhower's address
before about 200 members of the
assembly. As president of Colum
bia University 10 years ago he
helped form this organization to
study and discuss vital issues, in
cluding Latin America.
Given an ovation as he en
tered, Ire spoke against the back
ground of big picture windows
providing a spectacular view of
surf beating against a rocky
shore.
"Our hemisphere, from the po
lar cap to the arctic ice, is a
geographical unity," he said. "For
the advantage of all of its nations
the hemisphere should be charac
terized by mutually helpful:eco
nomic cooperation."
"With proper respect to the sov
ereignty of its states and the cul
tural heritages of its peoples, here
should be a mutual security unity
and, in its philosophy of represen
tative free government, complete
political harmony."

To Hit Campus

ter will follow in the wake of the
season's worst storm. The tem
perature will plunge close to zero

continue today and early tonight ;
as the gusty winds persist. A few

roads of snow in State College.t
Borough police said the roads!
were in "pretty good shape" yes
terday evening.
All main roads in Centre County;
have been plowed and nearly all!
secondary roads are "passable".
Strong winds caused con
siderable drifting snow through
out the state yesterday as a
result of increasing winds be
hind a paralyzing snow storm.
The extreme eastern areas of
the Commonwealth appeared to
be the hardest hit with 12 to
16 inches of snow blown into
treacherous and crippling drifts.
Transportation was badly dis
rupted and schools, stores and
factories were forced to close.
The speed limit along the en
[tire route of the 470 mile-long
;Pennsylvania Turnpike was cut
',from 65 to 35 miles an hour early
Thursday and this reduced speed
;was still in effect yesterday after

Sabotage
Suspected
HAVANA (VP) A French
freighter delivering munitions
from Belgium to Fidel Castro's
Cuban army blew up along
side a Havana harbor pier yes
terday.
Late last night official quar
ters estimated 75 to 100 persons
were killed and 200 injured aboard
ship and ashore.
The ship and nearby harbor in
stallation were destroyed by the
blast and fire.
The Castro government quick
ly raised the suspicion of sabo
tage, and some of its adherents
began hinting a sneak light
plane raid by Castro's enemies
may have set off the blasts.
Prime Minister Castro called
an urgent Cabinet meeting, or
dered his military and police
forces on a standby alert and
plunged the nation from gay post-
Mardi Gras festivities into mourn
ing.
Fire-fighters and pier work
men, who moved in for rescue
work after the first blast shook
the ship in the afternoon, were
caught by the second explosion
about a half an hour later. Some
were knocked overboard into the
bay.
Other explosions and fires fol
lowed on the ship and ashore in
a mounting scene of chaos.
The first official estimate of 70
to 100 dead and 200 injured came
florn a government operated TV
station.
There was no estimate of prop
erty damage along the pier. Ex

truction was in old buildings.
