Cuba Builds Up World Stockpile Of Sugar-And Foresees Sweet Profits From Post-War Sales The promotion of Joseph J. Joseph from the rank of private to the rank of technician fifth grade has been announced by Col. Earl H. DeFord, commanding officer of the Air Force bombardment base at Will Rogers Field, Okla. Technician Fifth Grade Joseph is the son of Mrs.

Abdo J. Joseph North First Street. He has been on duty at Will Rogers Field since July 11, 1942, as a Clerk Ordnance Warehouse. By ROBERT KUAJtK NBA Service Staff Corresponds! HAVANA--Cuba is depending on all-important sugar to haul hei out of her present economic hole even though one million tons o. this year's crop are sure to be ief: standing in warehouses because shipping difficulties.

What Cuba hopes is that the unmoved surplus won't affect the United States desire to buy future maximum crops. Logic says that if a million tons of 1942's production is left standing--with the bulk of the purchase price already paid--then Amerca's inclination toward 1943's out- )ut would be slightly less enthusiastic. But the brokers' outlook is well-mirrored by Julio Lobo of PORTVILLE--Private Alvin E. Crance, son of Mrs. Weley Hardy, graduated from Curtis Wright Technical Institute at Glendale, California, July 3 and is now stationed at Las Vegas, Nevada, in the 79th Air Force group.

Private Kenning Anderson of Foil Bennmg. a a member of the parachute troops of the United States Army, is spending a furlough with hi3 mother, Mrs. Ella Anderson, West Green Street. Two other of Mrs. Anderson are in the Armed Services, George Anderson, who left for service July 30, is now stationed at Camp Lee, Va Richard Anderson, another son, is stationed at Fort Knox, Ky.

Woman Pleads Self Defense BISBEE. for Margaret Herlihy, twenty-one, a lieutenant colonel's pretty daughter, tried to convince a coroner's jury today that she shot and killed her friend, Captain David Carr, in self defense Miss Herlihy was charged with assault with a deadly weapon and there was a possibility that if the coroner's jury accepts her plea, "he may not be charged with anything more serious Captain Carr was shot in the Herlihy home in Douglas Saturday She used her father's .32 caliber revolver and two bullets hit him. He died Saturday night. Army circles were shocked by the shooting. A willowy red-head.

Miss Herlihy who. it was said, had been married before was popular Army society, as was Captain Carr, thirty-fne, a dashing officer. Gasoline Users At Race Track BOSTON Massachusetts and Rhode Island OPA inspectors collaborated today on a list of motorists from thus state who have Narragansett Park horse-race tiack by misusing extra gasoline violation of rationing laws. Still incomplete, the list reportedly includes names of prominent state, county and city officials as well as politicians, defense workers and doctors. A similar list of 276 "frequen visitors" to Rockingham Park a Salem, N.

during its recen eighteen-daj- meet has been com piled, and OPA officials announced that extra-ration cards will be re voked and that guilty motorists face possible prosecution. Galban-Lobo, one of the island's largest commercial houses. "We are practically sure of having full future crops the Lobo says. anticipate the creation of a world-wide stockpile of sugar here, with the unmoved surplus being used for post-war purposes. And we hope Cuba will be allowed to share in the profits of that postwar sale.

"The United States has subsidized cotton and other commodities South America, in order to protect those markets for the present and to assure a sufficiency for post-war. There is no icason such a thing cannot be done with sugar." Lobo, like other Cuban mdus- tuahsts, is impatient with his government for" not forcing the island to make further use of the natural products. He says that, with skilled labor idle in many Cuban ports and an ample sufficiency of wood, there is no reason why a wooden merchant fleet cannot be built. Such ships at least would be able to export sugar and import needed commodities the island is presently unable to produce. NO FUEL SHORTAGE HERE Cuba's average annual gasoline import, according to Lobo, leaches 70.000,000 gallons There is a high mortality rate in shipping fuel to the island.

Yet, says Lobo, Cuba is amply able to fuel its vehicles ivithout importing gasoline The republic has a natural naphtha source which is so pure that one can literally sipnon the pioduct from well to automobile, and the car wil run satisfactorily. Fifteen million gallons of this jroduct, called motembo, is available each year. Cuba's supply of Hhen (he sugar cane cutting starts in the spring, the "Comparsas," a spiiitual dance, is staged in the streets of colorful Havana.

It is Lobo'a idea that alcohol fiom this mo- lasses, plus the natural naphtha.

Sugar manufactuie produces a waste by-product called baguasse, which is suitable as a base for plastics.

British Rake German Boats LONDON--British light naval iorces supported by shore battei- ies destroyed at least one and probably two German outpost boats had badly damaged two others a night battle in the fog- shrouded Straits of Dover, the Admiralty announced today. During the battle residents along the English coast heard deep rumbles indicating that German long-range artillery between Calais and Boulogne had gone into action, firing about twenty shells during a ten-minute period. Those along the Dover cliffs saw the flashes of continuous gunfire lighting the mid-channel. The unfavorable weather over the channel and the continent spared Geiman cities from further RAF attacks during the night it was understood.

Now that the planting of rice and peanuts for government has oidered 'the cooking fat, the native reaction is one of almost childish that Cuba is capable of supplying its own staples. The Cuban government is in a state of tuimoil. War has brought problems which have amazingly complicated the usual intricacies of Latin legislation. Price administration, economic maladjustment and the impending draft have the government palace a whirl.

So heavy is the rumor crop that Prime Minister Carlos Saladrigas recently announced penalties for persistent rumor-mongeimg. BATISTA MAY KEEP CONTROL With elections coming up in the fall of '43, the island is betting feverishly on the future governmental setup. Gen. Batista has announced he will not run again, for the presidency. Privately, he Lott and W.

"Woman's nlare is in the home," is equivalent to saying, "Another war as soon as the women have furnished the means After this war. no especially American women will be content to be told bv Hitler.

Frank Utter were held Saturday after noon (August 15. 3942; "at the Hahvig Funeral Home at two o'clock. The Rev. A Taylor officiated. Burial was in Mount View Cemetery.

Acting as pall bearers were W. Job, Wesley Barnard. William also has said that he has uncovered no logical successor, althougn Saladrigas is widely cited as the next man to sit in the big boss chair. Probably Cuba's strongest politico, apart from Batista, is Jamie Marine, head of the Sports Commission and general straw boss for the president. But Marine's Spanish birth bars him from the presidency.

Betting among the inside-trackers is that Batista will install someone like Saladrigas as president, and then keep a firm hand on the government from the premier's seat. Culm's government, ilready semi-parliamentary, could be adapted to a stronger form, Cuba's eventual fate as a nation may well be decided over the next couple of years. It could rear 15 on its hind legs as a full-grown man, muddle along as per usual, or rush blindly into the comfort- ng arms of Uncle Sam. All Cuba needs right now a strong fist in ts back to propel it in any given lirection. EIGHT PER CUNT of U.
