Mexico was the only country in the western hemisphere to main tain diplomatic relations with Cuba after Fidel Castro’s govern ment was suspended from the Organization of American States a decade ago for trying to export the Cuban revolution to other countries. Relations between the two nations were fine for a time until it became apparent to some Rice wins computer contests A four-man computer program ming team from Rice won first place at A&M’s Regional Pro gramming Contest held here over the weekend. Twenty-two teams from 16 col leges and universities in Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas partici pated in the third annual event. Rice won the $100 first iplace prize and was the only team to com plete all three contest problems. Second place and $50 went to SMU, the University of Texas- Austin won $25 third prize and Trinity University won $25 for fourth place. A&M’s undergraduate team of Jack Coats of Hurst, Bill Vasen of Pasadena and Ian Kettlebor- ough of College Station finished fifth, two points behind Trinity. The contest, sponsored by Up- silon Pi Epsilon, A&M’s computer science honor fraternity, was held Saturday at the Remote Comput ing Facility of the Data Process ing Center. Funds for the contest were pro vided by the Industrial Engineer ing Department, Data Processing Center, IBM and Robert Smith, past director of A&M’s DPC. Members of the Rice team were Mike Donegan, Randall Neff, Scott Warren and Gene Mutsch- ler. Mexicans that perhaps Castro was trying to interfere in Mexi can internal affairs, running guns through Mexico and perhaps in volved in guerrilla activities in this country. “I feel there has been inter ference by isolated elements but not by the Cuban government,” Maldonado said. “Fidel Castro lived in Mexico and he knows how jealous we are to the principle of nonintervention. We are very na tionalistic, so are the Cubans.” Relations between the r two countries reached their lowest point 18 months ago after Cuba refused to return airline hijackers to Mexico for trial. Mexico has served notice it would allow the bilateral airline agreement with Cuba to expire and there was serious talk of a possible break in diplomatic re lations. The air treaty was event ually renewed, apparently with Cuban promise to consider Mexi can pleas for extradition when a plane is hijacked over Mexican territory. The Cubans were unhappy with Mexico, Maldonado said, because they believed Mexico was support ing the economic blockade of the island. The ambassador said this was not true and increased trade with Cuba has, he said, proven Mexico does not support the blockade. Rare whale found beached; first to be sighted in Gulf An A&M mammal expert be lieves the 25-foot whale which washed ashore near Freeport last week probably is a rare Atlantic Right whale that somehow wan dered into the Gulf of Mexico. Dr. David Schmidly, curator of mammals for the Texas Coopera tive Wildlife Collection, said if he's right it would mean the first sighting of the Atlantic Right in the Gulf. The assistant professor of wild life and fisheries science said the whale was buried and the grave was too deep for excavation over the weekend. Mrs. Roberta Dansby, news edi tor of the Brazosport Facts in Freeport, said a county commis sioners court dump crew buried the whale about six miles from Surfside on the Galveston Road. Two A&M students located the grave last week and Dr. Schmidly took 10 students to the site Satur day to dig for the whale. Dr. Schmidly said the tide covered the grave and the shells over the site prevented digging with picks and shovels. He will ask the Brazoria County sanitation crews to assist his project by digging the whale up again. Dr. Schmidly pointed out he is interested in the skull for use at A&M or it may be donated to the National Museum. He added the young whale ap parently beached itself. Photos taken by a Brazosport Facts reporter have been sent to whale experts to determine if Dr. Schmidly's identification as an Atlantic Right is correct. Dr. Schmidly said Atlantic Right whales usually go no far ther south than off the coast of South Carolina.

The sources said Thieu instruct ed his ambassador to the United States, Bui Diem, to make in quiries at the State Department about Rogers’ assertions that the United States is “flexible” on the provisions of the latest allied peace proposal under which Thieu would resign and new elections would be held. Thieu also ordered his chief Paris negotiator, Phan Dang Lam, to tell U.S. delegation chief Wil liam J. Porter that any proposals relating to a political settlement must be presented by Saigon rather than Washington.
