The ailing Castro also leveled a veiled threat at the big American naval, base forces at Guantanamo nd said, "now they (the United States want to exhibit the word lemocracy, the Monroe Doctrine to attack the revolution. With what face? "They who have a base in who imposed a base on us with all the dangers that it carries for us for 99 years. They who now come alleging supposed extracominental interferences to maneuver in the Organization of American states" Thus in dramatic fashion, the bearded revolutionary leader raised the question of how long his regime will recognize the 1954 treaty giving the United States the southeast Cuban naval base for an annual rental of $3,600. Swept down the drain of expropriation were the Cuban Electric the Cuban Telephone Esso, and Sinclair oil companies, United Fruit Company, and 38 sugar mills owned by 21 American firms.

Crossmah, is nuts about tomatoes, but can't tell the red ones from the green, Crossman discovered he had a tomato-picking hound on his hands a few days ago when he watched Pud wandering down a row of tomato plants. When the dog plucked off a red one, she would gobble it up. But when she came on a green one, which was most of the time, she would take one bite and drop it.

"I haven't had a red tomato since the middle of July," Crossman said.
