officially challenged the Aggies of
Texas A&M to a bonfire-building
contest, to take place during the
respective Homecoming weeks of
the two schools.
“Reliable authorities on the Sky
line Campus have pointed out that
‘You’re beat before you even get
started.’ A&M students have been
acclaimed for building the largest
college bonfires in the country, and
articles to that effect have ap
peared in national magazines.
“Undaunted by these pessimists,
Rosenberg cheerfully stated:
“The Chamber of Commerce is
behind us, and maybe we can get
the local merchants to contribute
some of their trash to add to the
conflagration. 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.”

US Closing Down
Nicaro Nickel Plan
By The Associated Press
The United States announced
Thursday night that it is closing
down its big Nicaro nickel-proc
essing plant in Cuba.
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.
Suspension of operation, effec-

tive almost immediately, appears
to be a blow to the Cuban economy
to which Nicaro has contributed
80 million dollars over 18 years
in local wages and purchases.
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.”

Creating such tools and putting them to work for scf-’

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
