4 The American rater Albion, which was on from Arab Egypt yesterday, is to get a ceremonial welcome in Arab Jordan tomorrow when she lands 9,600 tons of gift wheat for Palestinian Arab refugees. The 7,225 ton frater owned by the New York shipping firm of Drytrans, today was headed up the Gulf of Aqaba toward Jordan's port of the same name. An Egyptian government official in Cairo said a Ihore battery on the Sinai peninsula fired a warning shot at the Albion on the ground the ship failed to heed an order to stop for inspection. Embassy Files Protest The frater, commanded by Capt. James H.

Hassell of East Williston, N. radioed that she pulled out of range and was making another attempt to reach Aqaba port. The United States state department notified the owners there were no casualties and no damage to the ship. However, the United States embassy said it had made "urgent representations" to Egypt over the incident and President Mohammed Naguib's government promised action would be taken to facilitate the ship's passage." Egypt likes to keep an eye on traffic in the' gulf the narrow, 100 mile long northeastern arm of the Red sea because it leads to the Israeli port of Elath as well as to Jordan's sea outlet, only a few miles east of Elath.

Traversed Canal Tuesday The Albion passed thru the Suez canal Tuesday on her way from the Mediterranean around the Sinai peninsula toward Jordan, one of Egypt's associates in the eight nation Arab league. Egyptian naval headquarters at Suet, at the southern end of the canal, refused to comment on the s-hooting. Most of the Gulf of Aqaba, from 12 to 17 miles wide, lies between the shores of Egypt and Saudi Arabia, another Arab nation.

ARRESTS EX-PRESIDENT i PR10 OF CUBA Conspiracy to Export i Arms Charged (Picture on oacXt page) Miami, Dec. 4 (JP) Carlos Trio Socarras, deposed 'president of Cuba, was arrested at his home in exile here today along with his former interior minister on a charge of conspiring to export arms and implements of vrar from the United States Without licenses. "The implication is quite clear that these munitions were to be 'used for a revolution in Cuba," said United States District Atty. James L. Guilmartin.

A Miamian and two Cubans also were arrested by United States customs agents. They were charged with purchasing rifles to be exported to Cuba" without licenses. Prio Freed on Bond Arrested with Prio, 50, was Sjegundo Curti, 43, his interior minister until Fulgencio Batista overthrew his regime on March 10, 1952, by a bloodless coup. They were taken into custody in Prio's home-in-exile on S. Miami av.

by United States Marshal Jack Peeples. They were booked and finger printed at the federal building. Prio was released on $50,000 bond and Curti on $25,000 bond. The other three, arrested separately, were booked as Jesse A. Vickers, 56, Miami Springs; Efren Rudolfo Pichardo, 33, Miami, and Marcus Diaz Lanz, 26, a Cuban in this country on a visitors' permit.

They were charged with arranging to purchase and pur chasing 30 M-l carbine rifles to be exported to Cuba without licenses and without advising the secretary of state. Hell Fight Charge United States Commissioner Roger E. Davis set Vickers' bond at $15,000 and the others at 55,000 each. He set a preliminary hearing in all cases for Dec 11. Vickers is a native of Georgia.

Prio issued a statement after posting bond in which he denied the charge and said he would fight it. i The arrests of Prio and Curti resulted from an indictment by a federal grand jury in New York. It was reported here that the indictment named a total of nine persons, all accused of "conspiring to export arms and implements of war from the United States without receiving export licenses." IWarrants naming them are still in New York. It was not known here whether Cuba was specifically named as the destination of the arms. Hear Revolution Rumors The three others arrested at Miami were picked up by customs agents on complaints made before the United States commissioner.

It was reported that two others ars being sought. Rumors had been strong in Latin circles that a Cuban uprising was imminent. Some went so far as to say it was set for next Monday, Cuba's national day of mourning for dead patriots. Others iad predicted "revo- lution before FIRST OF 60,000 ITALIANS GET VISAS FOR V. S.

NAPLES, Italy, Dec. 4 (IP) Ambassador Clare Boothe Luce, presenting the first three visas under the new United States immigration act, lauded it today as "one of the more enlightened pieces of legislation of the cen tury. She spoke at ceremonies officially beginning the flow of 200,000 Europeans to America under the 1953 law. The act, said Mrs. Luce, serves to maintain the tradi tional role of the United States as the haven for Europeans seek ing new homes." A total of 60,000 Italians are allowed to emigrate to the United States under the program.

About 45,000 are refugees from Italy's former colonies in Africa. O'CONNOR RESTORES CAPT. HARTNETT TO DUTY ON NEW POST Police Commissioner O'Connor yesterday restored to duty Capt. Joseph A. Hartnett, whom he suspended Nov.

7, and assigned him to the records department of the traffic division at Navy pier. O'Connor suspended Hartnett following a stormy session between Hartnett and the commissioner in O'Connor's office. It was reported Hartnett threw his badge on O'Connor's desk and announced he was resigning because of the actions of O'Connor's administrative assistant, Capt. William Balswick. Hartnett complained that Balswick insisted he spend so much time on "petty complaints" that he and his men found it difficult to find time to work on major crimes and other police business.

In the same order yesterday, O'Connor assigned Capt. Thomas Harrison to a permanent basis as captain of the Monroe st. station, the district in which Hartnett had formerly commanded. Harrison until yesterday was detailed to the Monroe st. station from headquarters' rolls.

PAPER? FR. COUGHLIN ENDS SILENCE; CALLS FOR WAGE GUARANTEE Detroit, Dec: 4 (JP) The Rev. Charles E. Coughlin, "radio priest of Royal Oak in the 1930s, broke a long public silence today to advocate a guaranteed annual wage and tax exemptions for production line workers. Oddly, his plea for a guaranteed annual wage parallels a major goal of the CIO United Automobile Workers.

It silenced him as a public speaker in 1939. The deep voiced but raspy priest had confined himself to conducting services at the Shrine of the Little Flower in suburban Roya.1 Oak until today, when he spoke to Detroit's 1 First Friday club. Father Coughlin told the club that a first step toward "flourishing the sword of the spirit that, will defeat communism would be to lift all taxes from production line workers and give them an annual wage. men who had been left at Guinchos Bay, 60 miles off northern Cuba, by the expedition. The office of President Rafael Trujilio in the Dominican Republic said that it had been informed that the Russian embassy in Guatemala had been involved in equipping the expedition.

Cuba freed most of the. men immediately. The Dominican Republic and Cuba signed a declaration on Dec. 25, 1950, in a dispute mediated by the Inter-American peace committee, to abide by inter-American accords', maintain normal diplomatic relations, and avoid hostile propaganda.

Herbert Maryon, 79, a sculptor-archaeologist, told a meeting of the Society of Antiquaries the giant statue was too small to stand astride the harbor of Rhodes and was not solid bronze as reputed. The statue, of the sun god Helios, was the work of a sculptor named Chares, who spent 12 years on his masterpiece.

It was erected in 280 B. C. and an earthquake tumbled it 53 years later. The story handed down thru the years is that the figure stood with one foot on each side of the harbor entrance, with enough clearance for ships to pass underneath. Maryon said he has determined from a study of classical inscriptions that the statue was 120 feet high and the harbor 600 feet wide, which would make the famous straddle an anatomical impossibility.

Furthermore, he said, the heroic figure was made of thin bronze sheets beaten into shape and riveted. WELFARE GROUP GETS GREETINGS OF EISENHOWER President Eisenhower sent his greetings yesterday to the 1,000 delegates attending the biennial round table conference of the American Public Welfare association in the Edgewater Beach hotel. "Your goals are in keeping with the objectives of the new adminstration," his wire read. We are determined not only to maintain the social gains already made, but to improve and expand Mrs. Oveta Culp Hobby, secretary of the new department of health, education and welfare, spoke at the association's banquet.

Mrs, Hobby stressed the need for early action by Congress for the extension of social security coverage to an additional 10 million Americans and warned that attention must be given to the rising dangers of juvenile delinquency. 4 I JZa. U.S. IS CALLED KEY TO PEACE IN CARIBBEAN Recall How Ruling Led to Turmoil BY JULES DUBOIS Chirac Tribute Fr Service PANAMA CITY, Dec. 4 Friendly relations between the governments of Cuba and the Dominican Republic have kept the Caribbean peaceful for al most two years.

An abrupt change of United States policy, however, as at the end of World War IL could whip up trouble again. When Gen. Fulgencio Batista overthrew President Carlos Prio Socarras of Cuba in March, 1952, diplomatic tension between the two Caribbean neighbors was erased and ambassadors were ex changed. Behind that tension is a story of Latin American leftist political and diplomatic intrigue and communist strategy that penetrates the portals of the United States state department, In 1945 and later the state department refused to grant li censes to the Dominican Republic to take out ammunition it had purchased from the Winchester Repeating Arms company. But it authorized licenses under which an air and sea invasion from Cuba was prepared against the Dominican Republic, with the equipment being purchased by agents for men high in the Cuban government.

Braden Policy Maker In those days the Latin American policy of the United States was directed by Spruille Braden, assistant secretary of state, who was fired by President Truman in June, 1947, to pave the way for a conference on hemisphere security at Rio de Janiero. One of Braden's early assistants was Laurence Duggan, 43, who died in a leap from an office building in New York in the wake of the Alger Hiss expose. The invasion was under way two months after Braden left the state department. Exposure of the plot by a Dominican dele gate, Arturo Despradel, at the Rio conference prompted Presi dent Ramon Grau San Martin of Cuba to order his navy and air force to intercept the revolu tionaries. Men, Ships, Bombers Seized Cuban authorities reported in October, 1947, that their forces had seized two ships carrying 800 men, 11 bombing planes, and 360 Salute to gold star wives!
