The tiny travelers made the radiation ride in a miniature model of a man-in-space cap sule which took the mice into the dangerous Van Allen radiation belt at speeds up to 18,000 miles an hour, was an other step toward man's event- ual leap info space. Just how well the mice came through the trip probably won't be known for several weeks, after scientists have an opportunity to study them thoroughly. Any ill ef fects may not show Lip until later generations. Plans are to mate the space rodents among them selves and with other mice. Sally and Amy are female, Moe a male. The initial report from the re covery ship which fished the cone from the South Atlantic 5000 flown back to their home at the School of Aviation Medi- cine, Brooks Air Force Base, Tex. Their initials SAM stand for the school's name. Several other scientific experi Meats, most of them instruments to measure various woes of ra diation in the lower !portion of the Van Allen band, also were tucked in the cone. These instruments will report how much radiation the mice Were subjected to. The Air Force stressed that the flight was primarily a test of the Atlas and the nose cone's ability to survive the searing 13,000- degree re-entry heat. The mice THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA Cubans Kill American Adventurer HAVANA {/p) - Cuban taring squads, working through the night, executed an Ameri can adventurer and 12 Cubans only hours after they were convicted of trying to topple Prime Minister Fidel' Castro's government. Despite a last-minute U.S. ap peal for clemency, Anthony Zar ba of Somerville, Mass., was shot early yesterday and buried in Santiago. He was the first Ameri can executed in Cuba since Cas tro seized power. The 13 executions, carried out at Santiago and Santa Clara, represented the bloodiest dis play of revolutionary justice since the first series of war crimes trials during the early months of Castro's rule last year. They raised the unoffi cial total of executions to 574. Nineteen of these persons have been shot since the revolution ary tribunals were reinstituted a year ago. s Moving swiftly in the past few days, the tribunal also ground out prison sentences for almost 200 persons. Among them was anoth er Atherican, Richard Pecoraro of Staten Island, N.Y. The former New York City fireman was re ported to have received a 20-year sentence for collaborating with in surgents in the Escambray Moun tains of central Cuba. Zarba, 27, and seven Cuban companions were convicted Wednesday night in Santiago, Zarba told the court during the one-day trial that he landed with an invasion force of would-be guerrillas, but was only a mem ber of the boat crew. He said he tried to leave the expedition in the Bahamas before it got here but was forced to stay on. Zarba said the boat sailed from Miami, Fla. Pirate Series Victory Pleases Gov.

Kennedy declared bast week and has kept hammering on the theme that these islets off the Red mainland of China are strate gically indefensible and not worth the risk of war. He summed up in a New- York speech: "Should Y become your president, I will take whatever steps necessary to de fend our security and to main tain the case of world freedom —but I will not risk American lives and a nuclear war by per mitting any other nation to drag us into war at the wrong place at the wrong time through an unwise commitment that is un sound militarily, unnecessary to our security, and unsupport ed.• Just as vigorously, Nixon has declared that to let the Commu nists know they could have Que moy and Matsu for the taking would' only whet the appetite of dictatorship, and thereby fuel the flames of war.
