maids of the future may have to
keep mum about their experi
ences, but a veteran of the past
has plenty to say.
Lillian Rogers Parks says it in
a book to be published Feb. 27.
Advance copies were released
just a day after the White House
announced that, at the suggestion
of chief usher J. Bernard West,
domestic personnel pledged to re
frain from publishing memoirs
hereafter.
Among other things in her
bock, Mrs. Parks related:
• Mrs. Harry S. Truman was
the most considerate First Lady
in decades.
• Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt
was quick to fire servants if they
angered her.
• Mrs. Dwight D. Eisenhower
had a hot temper but never fired
anyone.
• Mrs. Herbert Hoover kept the
White House in the most turmoil,
because she could never make up
her mind
,how she wanted things
arranged.
Household servants never knew
what to expect next—whether to
hide out or to be seen going about
their duties.
Mrs. Parks' book is entitled
"My Thirty Years Backstage at
the White House." It recounts her
experiences as well as those of
her mother, who also spent 30
years as a maid at 1600 Pennsyl
vania Ave.
Hodges Urges .
Swift Action
WASHINGTON (4P) Secre
tary of Commerce Luther H.
Hodges pledged yesterday that if
the job of, reviving depressed
areas is given to his department
something organized labor op
poses he will not let it become
a "boondoggling," or make-work
operation.
Urging swift action on Presi
dent Kennedy's $390-million de
pressed areas program, Hodges
told a House Banking subcommit
tee more than 100 city areas and
an as-yet undetermined number
of rural sections must have fed
eral help in curing persistent un
employment.
Supporting Kennedy's propos
als, Hodges sought to quiet con
cern lest industries be pulled
away from some economically
healthy areas in the course of
pumping life into ailing regions.

hills with Castro, was given broad
powers yesterday to reorganize
and develop this island nation's
industrial life along lines some
sources here reported w ere
drafted by Cuban and Commu
nist experts last year -in Czecho
slovakia.
State control was extended to
all sports activities through the
creation of an institute of sports,
physical education and recreation.
Mayor Jose Llanusa of Havana,
who recently returned from a tour
behind the Iron Curtain, was
named director.
The Cuban Cabinet, in a long
session extending into the early
morning hours, also named Haul
Ceprero Bonilla. former minis
ter of commerce, as chief of the
National Bank.
When Guevara headed the
bank, he used it to cut Cuba's
economic ties with the United
States and connect them with the
Communist bloc.
Under Ceprero Bonilla. one
of the few remaining ministers
of Castro's original Cabinet, the
bank's capitalization was de
creed at 100 million pesos. This
represents . a rise from 25 mil
lion, presumably covered by as
sets of nationalized U.S. and
Canadian banks.
The ministers of commerce and
agriculture were abolished. Di
rection of agriculture had long
since been taken over by the gov
ernment's Agrarian Reform In
stitute,
The government also revitalized
the Central Planning Board to
oversee development of Cuba's
four-year economic plan starting
in 1962. Castro, as prime minister,
heads the board and his brother
Raul, who is also defense minis
ter. becomes deputy chairman.
Foreign experts said Castro ap
peared to be reshaping his re
gime's administrative machinery
into a form similar to that used
in Communist countries. •

6 Airlines
Start Return
To Normal
WASHINGTON (1P) Amer
ican airports started a return to
their normal, bustling pace yes
terday while the head of a pres
idential co rn mission quietly
sought a solution to the airlines
dispute.
But, despite this hopeful air.
rumblings of trouble still could
be heard. •
In Miami, a- federal judge ig
nored one element in the formula
that brought the nation's most
crippling airlines strike to an end
Thursday. U.S. Dist. Judge Emett
C. Choate held the Eastern Air
Lines chapter of the Flight Engi
neers International Association in
contempt of court.
The strike continued at West
ern Air Lines, which still refused
to take part in the settlement
initiated by Secretary of Labor
Arthur J. Goldberg.
In addition, PreSident Kennedy
acted in a separate though re
lated strike. He created an emer
gency board to investigate the
Northwest Airlines strike and ex
dered the filght engineers there
back to work. The union said the
men were ready to go back to
their jobs.
In the truce Thursday, flight
engineers of six airlines agreed to
go back to work while the Presi
dent's special commission investi
gated the case for 90 days.
Attempt to Orbit
'Radio Brain' Fails
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. UP)
—Failure of the upper stages last
night ruined an attempt to orbit
a "radio brain" satellite designed
to study the effects of the iono
sphere on long range radio and
television communication.
The 75-pound satellite and the
three-stage upper assembly pre
sumably plunged into the Atlan
tic Ocean. The satellite was to
have been called Explorer X.
The failure sets back U.S. plans
for continuing a far-reaching
study of the ionosphere, an elec
tronically charged region which
surrounds the earth.

Britain Says 'Soapy'
Entering Her Affairs
LONDON (VP) G. Mennen Williams was accused in
Parliament yesterday of meddling in Britain's'African affairs.
A member of the governing Conservative party urged the
matter be called to President Kennedy's attention.
The storm blew up over a remark Monday in British
Kenya by Williams, assistant U.S.
secretary of state for African af
fairs, endorsing "Africa for the
Africans," a slogan of militant
African nationalists. His state
ment previously •had provoked an
gry words in South Africa's Par
liament
In Uganda, Williams paused
on his fact-finding tour to re
iterate what he said in Kenya
—that he meant whites as well
as Negroes when he referred to
Africa for the Africans.
In Africa, the word "African"
generally refers to the original in
habitants of the continent, in oth
er words the Negroes.
But British critics were not
mollified by Williams' explana
tion.
Anthony Fell, a Conservative,
introduced the Williams' ques
tion in the House of Commons.
Fell said he wanted to know if
Prime Minister Harold Macmil
lan intends to make represen
tations to Kennedy about Wil
