road between Leopoldville and
Thvsville Wednesday and turned

way to Thvsville.-
Tanks sent from Leopoldville,

turned to the United States this
week for, needed supplies of corn
for its poultry industry and for
rice to bolster its food supply.
In his first public statement aft
er the Eisenhower action, Castro
limited himself to harsh words
about Washington, and boasted
that Cuba, with the people and
right on its side, is "realy strong
er than the oligarchy of the Unit
ed States."
He announced he will make
another television speech to
night and appear Sunday before
a mass meeting of his Confed

against American properly,
probably Sunday.
There was a new flood of appli
cants for visas at the U.S. Em
bassy after Castro's bitter speech
as more Cubans sought' to leave
this strife-torn nation for asylum
in the United States.
Brazil, the Philippines, Mexico:
and Peru were amoner b countries

now buy sugar.
But despite the biller attacks
Cuba has turned to the United
States twice this week for emer
gency help to meet a grave crop
shortage. it was disclosed yes
teydaY.
A few months ago Castro pre
dicted Cuba would have corn to
export; thanks to his agrarian re
form program. But when Cuban
officials discovered they had less
than 10 days of poultry feed on
hand they rushed through an
emergency order for 150,000 bags
of corn from the United, States.
The rush order was followed up
Wednesday by another plea for
100,000 bags of corn for Cuba's
chicken and egg industry. N e
Orleans was reported the shipping
point.
Informants said Cuba turned
to the United States after it

price was too high.
On another food front. Cuba has

Red Riots
Break Out
In N. Italy
ROME (/P) Police and
Communist-led demonstrators
clashed in the Red stronghold
city of Reggio Emilia in north
ern Italy yesterday. At least
four persons were killed there
and 21 wounded as machine
gun fire raked the streets.
Word of the new rioting and
death in the north set off fresh
tumult and fist fights here in Par
liament, where the leftist leader
ship threatened to plunge Italy
into civil war.
Premier Fernando Tambroni
put full blame for the disorders
on the Communists. He charged
in a sharply worded statement
to the Chamber of Deputies the
Beds are "conducting a pre
planned action—both in the
national and international fields
aimed at subverting order and
democracy."
The Communist-led Confedera
tion of Italian Labor called a 10-
hour general strike, beginning at
2 p.m, today, to protest the Reg
gio Emilia killings.
The rioting at industrial Reggio',
Emilia appeared to be the worst'
in two weeks of Red-led disturb
ances
that have taken a toll of at
least five dead throughout Italyi
In addition 500 demonstrators andi
more than 200 police have been ,
injured.
The leftists said their target
was the Fascists, but Italian
newspapers charged they were
acting on orders from Moscow
with the avowed aim of bring
ing down Italy's pro-Western
government.
The disorders broke out as Com-1
munist-led unions pushed a gen-'
eral strike to protest police inter-!
vention in street clashes in Rome
I Wednesday night:
At a tumultuous early morning
Senate session pro-Communist So- ,
cialist Sen. Emilio Lussu bluntly
warned: "The Christian Demo
crat government must go. And if
l you do not go your government
;will be a government of civil
'tvar."

Heads for Split
PHILADELPHIA (/P) Key
stone State; Keystone delegation
—that's the watchword of Penn
sylvania's huge contingent to the
Democratic National Convention
in LoS Angeles.
The delegates, each with a half
vote, are building plans on their
being the key bloc in selection of
the party's presidential candidate.
Gov. Lawrence, delegation chair
man, spearheaded the air exodus
yesterday of 162 delegates and 81
alternates.
U.S. Rep. William Green Jr„
Philadelphia city chairman and
an important power in the delega
tion, is already at the convention
site. He is a member of the Plat
form Committee.
But the majority of the delega
tion enplanes from Philadelphia
or Pittsburgh today.
The Pennsylvania delegation
appears set for a split decision on
the first ballot for a presidential
nominee.
Lawrence, emphatically neutral
himself, has predicted votes for
all of the candidates on the first
count.
This is a consensus of first bal
lot predictions by a dozen top
delegates: Sen. John F. Kennedy,
(Mass.), 20; Sen. Lyndon B. John

two-time Democratic candidate
for president, 25; Sen. Stuart Sy
