No. 18 Cuban Catholics Get Castro's Ultimatum HAVANA (fP) Fidel Castro put it squarely up to the Roman Catholic Church in Cuba yesterday: Stop attacking his revolution or face the consequences. The angry Cuban Prime Minister did not put his ultima tum in those exact and brief terms. He poured out his wrath in a three-hour speech against the "Fascist clergy" and "priests of the privileged," whom he said are at the service of Yankee imperial ism. Mexicans Finish Study On Campus Twenty-one Mexican engin eers today complete their sum mer study at the University under the sponsorship of the International Cooperation Ad ministration. A grant of $12,865 from the ICA financed the visitors who studied managerment science, automation, tool engineering, work measure ment, quality control and other courses in industrial engineering. The purpose of the program was aimed toward "helping to increase the productivity of Mexican industry," says Ben jamin W. Niebel, head of the in dustrial an g i nearing depart ment, who was in charge of the program. The University has had a co operative exchange program with Mexico since Niebel first went to that country for ICA in 1958. Last year 37 Mexican engineers participated in the study. As a part of the program, George L. Thuering, professor of industrial engineering, serv ing as a consultant to the Mexi. ran Indus trial Productivity Center in Mexico City this sum mer. All the Mexicans are engineer ing graduates and hold manag erial positions in diversified Mex ican industry. Their classes were principally lecture, recitation, discussion, and practicum. They also made six all-day inspection trips through local industries. Farmers, Engineers Use Same Math Calculators Pennsylvania farmers and en gineers for outer space rockets are now using the same equipment or at least occasionally the same equipment. Both farmers and rocket experts use the same type of computation al facilities. The farmers' calcula tor was developed at the Univer sity, is named Pennstac and sets in 6 Electrical Engineering. Because farming methods have become increasingly complex, a method for solving management problems had to be developed, R. J. Becker, associate professor of farm management, said. The farmer working with an ordinary calculator would need two months to finish work that Pennstac can do in one hour, acocrding to Becker. The mathematical system under which the automatic computer works is called linear program ming. Synonyms for this term , could be activity analysis or just' plain budgeting, although the lat ter would be oversimplifying the matter, Becker said. Becker cited one case to briefly iluustrate how Pennstac was used to help one dairyman located near a large Pennsylvania city. The type of questions were ba sically these: OShould he buy all cattle feed? *Should he sell land? !Should he do nothing but ,01° It lit lit di' c , titte _44 . Castro did not spell out what consequences might result. He shouted a ringing declara tion that to be against the rev olution is to be "anti-Christ." He suggested the U.S. Embassy was involved in Church demonstra tions of the past few weeks. Castrb's lengthy speech ap peared to widen to an almost unbridgeable gap the breach between his regime and the Catholic Church on this island. Church officials had no immedi ate comment. Unquestionably, the trigger that unleashed Castro's tirade was a recent pastoral letter expressing the Church's concern about the advance of communism in Cuba and distress about clashes beween I churchgoers and shouting, anti- American mobs. The Prime Minister told his lis teners there is no doubt General lissimo Francisco Franco of Spain has "a good number of Fascist priests" in Cuba. "There is no doubt that im perialism, the partner of Fran co and his fascism, has mobil ized against the revolution whatever Fascist priests it has been able to find," Castro said. Castro's shouting and arm-wav ing reinforced his own announce ment earlier that his health has been completely recovered. The early morning labor rally that Castro addressed took his words with deafening roars of ap proval. Some shouted, in Spanish, "Out!" and "To the execution wall!" At one point the shouting continued unbroken for five min utes until a band played the na tional anthem to restore quiet. Normal services were held yes-I terday in all the city's churches. milk cows? •Should he rent land? •If land were kept, how should it be utilized? *Should he retain his turkey enterprise? • Should he hire more labor? These questions and about 40' others, some of which considered the nutritional requirements of the cattle, were coded by punch ing paper tape. The tape was then fed into Pennstac. The work con sists of solving a great series of simultaneous equations, Becker explained. The machine gives its an swer in terms of alternative maximum-profit methods of management. It is up to. the farmer to select the program which he wished to follow, Becker said. Th e Agricultural Extension Service here was the first to use linear programming and an elec tronic computer in this way, Becker said. He said that it is a pilot type of program and it probably cannot be established as a regular farm ers' service such as soil and for age testing have become at the University, Some farmers' cooperatives and professional farm management or ganizations are considering inaug urating the service.

And as the comic Irish char acters move about their busi ness of first honoring and then attempting to hang the man who "killed" his "da" laughter is prevalent. Even the appearance' of Old Mahon (Ronald Bishop), his skull bloody from the blow struck by his son, manages, through the comedy of the situation, to add to the warmth and enjoyment of the evening. Frank Browning as young Christopher Mahon arid Patricia Thompson as Pegeen Mike, the girl who captures his love and then loses it through her own hardness, lead the cast through its well-performed paces. Browning is gleeful in the dii`covery that he has become somebody important through his deed and riotously funny as he threatens to do his father in I for the third time.
