A handle is held by the operator who controls the maneuvers of the plane by a single turn of his wrist. Perhaps the most common model flown in this area is the radio control type. Invisible commands are sent to the airplane flying overhead by a radio transmitter on the ground. in efigy, representing our Home coming opponent. “WITNESS MY HAND this 28th day of September in the year of our Lord onethousand nine hundred and sixty. “LOU ROSENBERG “STATE OF TEXAS “COUNTY OF BEXAR “Before me, the undersigned authority, on this day appeared LOU ROSENBERG, known to me to be the person whose signature is affixed to the foregoing instru ment and acknowledged to me that he executed the same for the pur poses and considerations therein stated. “GIVEN under my hand and seal, this 28th day of September, 1960.

Incidentally, we hope to get a 24-hour guard on the structure through the coopera tion of the ROTC.’ “Members of the Home builders organization have been approached for engineered plans for the elabo rate structure. No definite answer had been received before the Trini tonian deadline Wednesday eve ning. “Original suggestion for the plot came from Chamber of Commerce publication editor Warren Jennings, Rosenberg said, adding that Jen nings has promised to do as much as possible in promoting the con test in San Antonio. “All we have to do now is find some place we can build a fire that big without upsetting the city or county fire departments,’ Rosen- I berg grinned in anticipation.” Model Airplanes Bring Crowds Out BATTALION CLASSIFIED WANT AD RATES >oe day 3^ per per word each additional day Minimum charge—i0^ DEADLINES 5 p.m. day before publication Classified Display 80(! per column inch each insertion PHONE VI 6-6415 FOR RENT VI 6-4556.

The action came some hours after announcement that Ameri can residents in Cuba have been advised to send home their wives ai?d children. These developments dramatized the rapid worsening of relations between Washington and the re gime of pro-Communist Prime Minister Fidel Castro. It was learned also that the United State is planning to im pose new controls on exports to Cuba, probably covering some in dustrial machinery and supplies. From Havana, meanwhile, came word the Castro government in a new slap at the United States had refused to accept a U. S. note protesting nationalization of Am erican banks in Cuba. Ambassa dor Philip Bonsai was unable to deliver the protest to the Foreign Ministry in Havana. The $110-million Nicaro nickel plant in Oriente ’Province em ployed or contributed to the em ployment of 2,800 Cubans. The plant has a capacity of 50 million pounds per year.

A formal announcement by the State Department, however, blamed the closing on “harass ment” by the Castro regime and on the imminent imposition of “confiscatory” Cuban taxes. The action involving American dependents came earlier in the day. The State Department an nounced that dependents of U. ‘S. Embassy personnel in Havana have been encouraged to leave and said other American residents there have been informed they should take similar action. Hundreds of American families already have left because of the Castro regime’s anti-Yankee cam paign and many others are pre paring to depart. Has Been Speculation There has been speculation for days that new export controls would be aimed at blocking ship ments to Cuba of any replacement parts for U. S.-built oil refineries which have been seized by the Castro regime as well as chemicals used in oil refining. Indications Thursday night were that the action on export controls would be taken in the near future. On Sept. 2 the Commerce De partment instituted a licensing system for exports of jeeps and trucks, together with repair parts, to Cuba and to the Dominican Re public. The prospective new step presumably would have the effect of broadening the export controls in the case of Cuba. The basic reason given for re moval of Americans from Cuba is that, in view of the hostile atti tude displayed by Castro’s govern ment, the United States cannot provide normal protection to U. S. citizens through regular diplomat ic channels. t Ike Claims Nixon Better Prepared THE BATTALION Friday, September 30, 1960 College Station, Texas Page 3 By The Associated Press President Eisenhower last night gave strong support to Vice Pres ident Richard M. Nixon’s claim to being better prepared for the presidency than Democratic can didate John F. Kennedy. Kennedy, meanwhile, sought to deflate the image of a Nixon whose experience has been forged on goodwill trips around the world. For his part, Nixon—on Ken nedy’s home grounds—slammed at the Democratic candidate as a demonstrated failure in the Aug ust session of Congress. Shift Planned As the political campaign be gan generating more heat, ar rangements were made to shift to Washington the second Nixon- Kennedy debate Oct. 7. It origi nally had been planned for New York, then Cleveland for the con venience of both candidates who will be in Ohio on Oct. 6. But the official of an NBC af filiate in Cleveland said it finally was decided to move the televised debate to Washington because of space limitations. Eisenhower spoke from Chicago over a closed-circuit television hookup to 36 Republican fund raising dinners all across the land. Introducing Nixon, who ad dressed the GOP affairs from Kennedy’s native Boston, Eisen hower figuratively wrapped his mantle around the vice president,^ The President said Nixon’s counsel “has been invaluable to me,” and that Nixon is better pre pared for the White House than anybody he knows—meaning, of course, Kennedy. Praises Nixon The President mentioned alle gations “that the vice president has contributed little to the af fairs of government over these last 7% successful years,” Then he said “let me set the record straight” and went on to praise Nixon’s role “in hundreds of im portant deliberative proceedings.” T A ops In Food SPECIAL E fficient Service DINNERS $ 1>0 0 Y CLUB STEAK ya cellent Drinks FRIED CHICKEN A VEAL CUTLETS n Evening Well Spent SALSBURY STEAK N CHICKEN FRIED STEAK I ’ othing But The Best FISH—ALWAYS FRESH ★ ALACARTE THE TEXAN Texas Special Sirloin $1.90 RESTAURANT Texas Special T-Bone $1.90 AND Sea Food Platter $2.00 Delicious '/z Fried Chicken $1.25 DRIVE-IN Piping Hot Pizza Pie (Plain) .85 3204 College Ave. “OUR DESIRE IS TO SERVE AGGIES'” Even though modern electronic computers work at al most unbelievable speeds, the scientist is way ahead of them. Put quite simply, scientists have been thinking up com plex problems faster than even the fastest computers could handle them. To close this gap, IBM created STRETCH, the world's fastest, most powerful computer. pause midway in the problem and tackle a more im portant one. Creating such tools and putting them to work for scf-’ ence—or for business, industry, or government—is ex citing, important work. It calls for talents and skills of every kind, from liberal arts to Boolean algebra to astro physics. The first STRETCH system will go to the AEC at Los Alamos to aid in nuclear reactor design. This goliath can do a million additions or subtractions a second. It can “read” the equivalent of four million characters per minute from magnetic tape. It can print the equivalent of three good-sized novels every hour. It can perform pll these operations simultaneously, and if necessary So whatever your particular talents and skills, there may be just the kind of job at IBM you’ve always wanted. The IBM representative will be visiting your campus this year. Why not ask him about it? Your placement office can make an appointment.
