As problems at Cuban refugee re
settlement centers continue this
week, President Carter has reiter
ated charges Fidel Castro sent “har
dened criminals” to the United
States in the refugee sealift.
For the third straight day Mon
day, only a few stragglers made the
110-mile voyage from Cuba’s Mariel
Harbor to Key West. The four boats
arriving carried a total of 369
Cubans, raising the ferrying opera
tion’s 50-day total to 112,533 re
fugees.
Vselma Sanchez, a crew member
aboard a cabin cruiser that brought
42 refugees into Key West, Fla.,
Monday said Cubans at Mariel
hinted the Cuban government
wanted to prolong the sea shuttle.
“They said in so many words that
there were programs to slow us
down,” she said. “They could have
loaded us a lot faster, but they deli
berately made us wait.”
Boat owner Rolando Mesa agreed.
“If he (Castro) keeps a few boats
there, he can keep on playing this
game.”
In Miami Monday, Carter, speak
ing in Spanish at a news conference
for the Miami Spanish press, said he
has directed the State Department
to press for the return to Cuba of
undesirables that had been dumped
onto the sealift.
“Among the many people fleeing
oppression in Cuba, Fidel Castro has
cynically included several hundred
hardened criminals from Cuban
jails,” Carter said.
Secretary of State Edmund Mus-
kie made similar charges Sunday.
“This despicable action of Castro is
a violation of international law and
practice, and the government of
Cuba is obligated to accept the re
turn of those criminals,” Carter said.
As the last of the refugees came
ashore in Florida, problems con
tinued at several relocation centers
around the country.
At the Fort Chaffee, Ark., refugee
relocation center — scene of a June 1
riot in which 100 people were
arrested, four buildings were burned
and five persons were shot — Army
officials netted a working distillery
and several homemade weapons in a
check of two barracks. Two Cubans
were arrested for running the still.
Fort officials said they had sus
pected a moonshining operation

Future of the news
Profitable ad plan
United Press International
ATLANTA — Satellite transmis
sion of advertising will revolutionize
the newspaper industry, resulting in
added profits for the daily newspap
er, says Washington Post board
chairman Katharine Graham.
Graham, president of the Amer
ican Newspaper Publishers Associa
tion, told ANPA members Monday
the major wire services are working
with newspapers to install receiver
dish antennae for satellite transmis
sion of news and pictures.
In the very near future, she said,
advertising also will be sent by satel
lite, allowing marketers of nationally
known products to swiftly transmit
photo reproductions of ads to hun
dreds of papers across the nation.
Graham said the new procedure
will require standardization of col
umn width and other physical speci
fications, but would be a necessary
step to keep newspapers competitive
with other media.
“As you know, our industry has
long made it something of a chal
lenge for national advertisers to
spend their dollars in newspapers by
forcing them to make up ads to fit
hundreds of varied formats and col
umn sizes,” she said.
Graham made her comments at
the opening session of the ANPA re
search institute convention during
which newspaper publishers, editors
and production managers from
across the country will be informed
of the latest technology in the indus
try, including satellite delivery of
news and advertising.
The conference, which has
attracted some 10,000 newspaper ex
ecutives, ends Wednesday.
She said the ANPA is working with
advertising agencies and major cor
porations to develop standard adver
tisement sizes for satellite transmis
sion.
“Now, we are on the verge of
proposing a schedule that would
accommodate just about every news
paper page imaginable — but con
front advertisers with fewer than
two-dozen sizes and shapes,” she
said.
“If we can achieve this system —
and we are hoping to achieve that by
the end of this year — I think it will
mark a historic and profitable step
forward for our industry.”
Graham said advertising agencies
have told the ANPA many more
manufacturers would use newspap
ers for their advertising if sizes were
standardized and transmission of lay
out and text could be handled more
quickly over a large area.
She said “while there are many
challenges yet to be overcome,” it
may be possible to demonstrate a
satellite test transmission of advertis
ing at the next ANPA production
management conference in Atlantic
City next year.
Surgery disputed
for nearsighted
United Press International
WASHINGTON — A government advisory council says more re
search is needed before it can endorse surgery to correct nearsighted
ness, a common vision disorder usually corrected easily by eyeglasses
or contact Jenses.
nu .The operation. was develope<l hy ‘Soviet-surgeon Svyatoslav Fydo.r-
ov, who has' said he is convinced the 90-second per eye surgical
procedure will allow most nearsighted people to throw away their
glasses forever.
Nearsighted people have better vision for near objects than for
distant ones.
Fydorov and his colleagues in Moscow have performed 2,000 such
operations in the past decade after perfecting the procedure on rabbits.
He also has demonstrated the technique in 10 operations in the United
States.
But America’s National Advisory Eye Council urged both patients
and eye doctors to use restraint in choosing the surgery until questions
of safety, effectiveness and longterm effects are answered.
The council said in a resolution released by the National Eye Insti
tute Monday it “would like to express grave concern about potential
widespread adoption” of the operation.
Nearsightedness, or myopia, affects nearly one-third of all adults in
the United States.
The operation developed by Fyodorov is called radial keratotomy. It
involves a series of cuts into the cornea, the transparent cover for the
front of the eye. These incisions weaken the tissue so that internal eye
pressure causes the edge of the cornea to bulge slightly, thus flattening
the central portion of the cornea. This improves the focusing ability of
nearsighted people.
A six-month follow-up study of the procedure at Wayne State Uni
versity showed about half of 83 patients no longer needed their glasses
following the operation. But doctors said most reported some compli
cations, including glare and vision quality that fluctuated during the
day.
Fyodorov said in a recent interview in Moscow he never had a case
that had not produced at least some improvement. He said in limited
nearsightedness, 92 percent of cases are corrected to normal vision. In
more severe cases, the rate is 83 percent.
The American advisory council, however, said it considers radial
keratotomy to be an experimental procedure “because it has not been
subjected to adequate scientific evaluation in animals and humans.”
“Recent reports on radial keratotomy from foreign countries and the
United States provide an inadequate basis on which to assure the
procedure’s safety,” the council said.
PBS, viewer clash in court
over ‘Death of a Princess’
United Press International
HOUSTON — The Public Broad
casting Service Tuesday asked a fed
eral court to support the decision of
the nation’s oldest public television
station not to show the movie “Death
of a Princess,” broadcast last month
by most PBS affiliates.
“Judicial intervention into the
specific editorial decisions of broad
casters makes courts editors of last
resort, ” PBS said in a friend of the
court brief filed with U.S. District
Judge Gabrielle McDonald. “The
Supreme Court has made it clear
that the First Amendment precludes
such a role for the judiciary, regard
less of whether the broadcaster is a
private party or the state. ”
University of Houston-operated
KUHT-TV refused May 12 to broad
cast the movie, depicting the love
affair and execution of a Saudi Ara
bian princess and her lover. UH Vice
President P.J. Nicholson said the
movie was not balanced and could
have political repercussions.
KUHT member Gertrude Barn-
stone filed suit to have the movie
broadcast and McDonald upheld her
request. But a three-judge federal
appeals court panel reversed her de
cision and the Supreme Court re
fused to intervene.
Barnstone has asked a summary
judgment from McDonald ordering
the movie be shown.
“The state may not cloak itself in
the guise of a private journalist and
invoke a private journalist’s right to
absolute editorial discretion when,
in reality, the state is itself the prog
rammer and the direct source of con-
tent censorship,” Barnstone’s
lawyers have argued.
The state attorney general’s office,
representing the university, said the
conflict is moot because Barnstone
has seen the movie at least twice.
The Saudi government objected to
the movie, claiming it contained “in
accuracies, distortions and false
hoods.”
