He asked forgiveness from Miamians for his act "which was done to the lives of three patriots living in Cuba." In the letter to The Herald signed Arce," the writer said he was "the only guilty party" in the assault on Consul Eduardo Hernandez at Miami 1 International Airport last Wednesday morning. The letter said the briefcase contained photographs of the three Cuban patriots, 8 description of them and told where they were hiding in Havana.

They would have been "delivered to the assassins of the dictatorship. If I had not done what I did, today there would be three more dead patriots The briefcase also contained intelligence information as to the movements of rebels in Miami, reports by unregistered foreign agents about Cubans in United States and photographs of exiled Cubans whose lives are in grave danger if they return to Cuba, the letter said. The briefcase containing $185 and many papers was sent to television station WTVJ where News Director Ralph Renick said it would be turned over to police officials. Three Cuban political exiles were arrested at the scene of the assault on Hernandez Wednesday and charged with robbery and grand larceny, Another man escaped with the briefcase. The letter to The Herald signed by Arce stated that "some of the photographs and documents (in the briefcase) have been obtained from the supposed secret files of the Key West and Dade County Police Department."

"Much of the fault must go to the obsolete jail construction up there," said Sheriff Kelly, "but there is no denying that there was also human error. Someone made a mistake in 'shaking down' the prisoners. I have assigned Sgt. William McKee to drop everything else and make a full-scale investigation. "A board of inquiry will be set up, and disciplinary action will be taken when we find out who made the mistake." Mackiewicz apparently engineered the plot, using rare ingenuity.

He demonstrated that same quality, in devising an electric "cutting torch" found in his cell last Nov. 22. It was made of lead pencils for electrodes, material yanked from a jail TV set and tin cans. Electricians said it "probably would have worked if it didn't electrocute the operator." The murder suspect apparently has been planning escape almost from the day he was locked up. By eating himself into an added 25 pounds, donning horn-rim glasses and getting an "idiot boy" haircut -a short crewcut with the hair combed flat forward he had completely altered his appearance.

Irving Block, in charge of the capital crimes division for State Attorney Richard Gerstein, had protested the appearance change to the sheriff's office. He said it was confusing potential witnesses to the fatal shooting with which he is charged. Block was told there were no jail regulations covering hair cuts. The sheriff's department did, however, make new "mug" showing the appearance change. These were sent to the FBI and other police departments.

In the escape, Mackiewicz and his companions used the identical window out of which George (Limpy) Anderson, since convicted and executed, slid to temporary freedom in April 1953. After that escape, Sims had welded the locked side of the window shut. That did not stop the Sunday escape. Finding the bars too tough to cut, the escapees sawed through one of the hinges, discovered to be of far softer iron. They managed to extract a tough metal rod from its fastening, a rod approximately 14 inches long and one inch square.

This became a crowbar in prying the window open just enough for them to squeeze through. Construction of the cell block is such that their work could been shielded, even had jailer looked in the peep-hole in the steel door.

The department said citrus production for the 1957-58 season is below both average and last year. Last season's orange and tangerine crop was 136,705, 000 boxes.

The 1956-57 grapefruit crop was 44,780,000 boxes and last season's lemon crop was 16,200,000 boxes. The department said Florida has about finished picking early and mid-season varieties of oranges and has started on Valencias. Harvest cf California navels is more than half finished, but harvest of Valencias in central California will not begin until about April 1. Harvest of tangerines is practically complete and about 70 per cent of the grapefruit crop has been harvested. The department gave these estimates by states for citrus: ORANGES California, 500,000 boxes; Florida, 000 boxes; Texas, 2,200,000 boxes; Arizona, 1,330,000 boxes; Louisiana, 25,000 boxes.

California National Summary The chain of low pressure systems moving into the West and across the South since late last week have succeeded in lowering te temperatures through most of the nation. Successive charges of cool air flowed inland from the Pacific and worked southward out of the stagnant high pressure reservoir in Canada. Snow has become a more prominant feature of widespread precipitation patterns and continued Monday over the Rockies and Western Plains.

Scattered flurries extended eastward to the Onio Valley 8S another disturbance advanced across northern Texas. Sunshine broke through diminishing cloud cover in the mid-Atlantic states, helping erase the locally heavy snows which fell over parts of the Virginias and Maryland Sunday. However, wet weather is scheduled to advance across the Midwest and may bring a combination of snow and rain back to the Virginias today, while showers spread across the Southeast. Cloudiness shaded the bulk of the nation Monday, holding temperatures mostly in the 30s from the Rockies to the Central and Northern Appalachians. The Miami Herald Ph.

Luis Munoz Marin, who administers the island possession, told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee the U. S. must avoid any appearance of ramming its free enterprise doctrine down the throats of its Latin American neighbors. As he spoke, 12 members of Puerto Rico's National Liberation Party picketed the White House denouncing Munoz as a "traitor" who was seeking to "further American imperialism in Latin America." Jose Gil de Lamdrid, spokesman for the group, emphasized that the Liberation Party has no connection with Puerto Rico's Nationalist Party whose members tried to assassinate former President Truman and shot up the House of Representatives in 1954. He said most of the demonstrators came from New York.

Munoz told the Senate committee that "the importance of Latin America to the U.S. is out of proportion to the comparative aid and attention it receives." The commonwealth governor also called for lower trade barriers on imports from Latin America. Greater Miami Deaths Russian Idea BARNES, Mrs. Cora Lee, 78, of 2295 92nd Saturday. Lithgow's 54th St.

Nixon Plans Latin Trip Girls! Don't Wiggle Hips! LONDON -(P)- Moscow Radio says Russian girls must stop wiggling their hips. There are other ways they can let men know they are female.

But it added: "It is not very attractive to pose as some women do with the express purpose of displaying quite unnecessarily the mobility of their hips while walking.

"This may be good training for girls of fashion abroad who shamelessly indulge in rock 'n' roll with its hideous stamping, wriggling and somersaulting. But this is not at all suitable for our girls."
