SPC Instructor Rebelled
Against Castro Regime
“It was during the time I
was enrolled at Havanna Uni-
versity in Cuba that I rebelled
and they ‘kicked me out,’ ”
said kpss Elizabeth Ramos, a
23-year-qld Foreign Language
instructor at South Plains Col-
lege.
During her second year, while
■he was working toward a PhJ)
degree. Castro took over the Un
iversify and made a complete
change. He changed professors
and text books and started in-
doctrinating the students. “I did
not agree with his ideas and
rebelled at the indoctrination,”
said Miss Ramos.
“I was 17 and my father,
who wa* a Baptist minister,
wanted, me to go ahead with my
education and get a degree, but
the situation in Cuba was get-
ting worse with each passing
day; so, I was fprced to leave
the University. Taki% the stand
that I had against ,ttje new rtr
gime, I was automatically in*
volved in the Anti-Castro Move-
ment, “atated the young Cuban.
“We began immediately to get
papers eeady for me to come to
the United States to complete
my education, which was the
wish of ’my mother and father,
who bath hold PhJ) degrees,”
she said. “1 was teaching mu-
sic appreciation in the Havan-
na High School and the Cuban
Government wanted me to go to
Moscow: and study. I would not
go , of course, so was forced
to (fiit teaching.”
Elizabeth’s mother had her
own private school which was
rated among the very best. This
school was closed by the Gov-
ernment.
“A friend of my father’s
from Way land Baptist College,
in PlainView, visited in our
home and influenced my par-
ents t» send me to Way land.
In 1961; we were able to pay
for my schooling over here
had I been sent over at that
time; but in 1962 Castro had
taken everything we had and we
had nothing with which to pay
my expenses. Way land gave me
full scholarship and the people
in Plainview helped me. I work-
ed at the college in the language
laboratory and served as a voice
accompanist in order to defray
my additional expenses,” sta-
ted Miss Ramos.
Her father, who is in prison
in Cuba at this time, is losing
weight and strength daily for
lack of proper nourishment. He
was taken along with fity other
miD^WI'*s two years ago. He was
codl SaTing at the time with the
Bap&P. Home Mission Board
and receiving a salary from the
Board. He was arrested on
“trumped-up” charges of spy-
ing for the United States. The
state asked for a sentence of
30 years but they failed to pro-
ve adequately the charges. He
was sentenced to six years as
a “spy.” Miss Ramos’ mother,
who is'living with her sisters
in Cuba, lost all of her pro-
perties. Miss Ramos does not
think she has anything left.
The Level land instructor has
a brother, David, a junior at
Way land this year, who came
America with her. Their pa-
rents watched them leave their
homeland knowing that a reunion
might Yitver take place with
conditions as they were in Cuba.
The etttege instructor be-
came a ngbic professor at Ha-
ana HigKSchool when she was
17. Man£’of her pupils were
same age as she. She grad-
ted frapj music school at 16,
::ght t4b years and in 1962
came to America.
According to Miss Ramos,
Cubans who were forced to flee
from their homeland are still
hoping to go back one day and
hope that this experience will
lead to a better understanding
between the United States and
other Latin American countries
and a better relationship that
will unify them against the com-
mon enemy because “we all
love liberty,” she said.
THE WOMAN BEHIND THE MAN - Mrs. Ralph Barrett, pictured above, works hand and
hand with her husband managing the Independent Gin in White face. She reports that they
have ginned 600 bales of cotton this year which is more than at the same time last year.
They expect that only half of the amount of last year’s total will be ginned due to the
early freeze. _
OFFICIALS SAY
U.S., Russia Balance Of
Power Not Changed
By SEYMOUR M. HERSH
W ASHINGTON (AP) — U.S.
officials have stressed that de-
ployment of aSovietantimissile
system has not changed this
basic fact in the balance of pow-
er; The United States still can
destroy any enemy — even one
that strikes first.
Emphasizing the offensive,
the officials reported Thursday
that the United States still is
maintaining a better than 3 to 1
edee in stockpiles of Interconti-
nental Ballistic Missiles.
Production of such missiles,
they said, has been pro-
grammed to assure that Ameri-
can rockets could effectively
penetrate any antimissile sys-
tem the Soviets are capable of
building.
The officials acknowledged,
however, that Secretary of De-
fense Roberts. McNamara will
decide within 60 days whether to
recommend a deployment of
America’s version of an antim-
Some Work Stoppage Noted
In Raido-Television Strike
By BOB MONROE
NEW YORK (AP) — Union-
ordered work stoppages on
some taped television programs
added urgency today to a feder-
al mediator’s initial effort to
avert a threatened strike
against the nation’s major tele-
vision and radio networks.
The AFL-CIO American Fed-
eration of Television and Radio
Artists invoked the work stop-
pages Thursday against taped
television shows whose produc-
ers would not agree to keep re-
runs off the air in the event of a
strike.
One of the first affected was
the Johnny Carson “Tonight”
program. At the union’s direc-
tion, Carson and his cast stayed
away from their regular early
evening taping session and the
National Broadcasting Co. filled
the late night slot withaCarson
rerun.
A taping session for NBC’s
daytime serial “The Doctors”
was canceled Thursday when
cast members walked out after
a rehearsal.
Master of ceremonies Gene
Rayburn and announcer Johnny
BANQUET HONORS PAN
AMERICAN EMPLOYEES
Thirty employees of Pan Am-
erican Petroleum Corporation
were honor guests Thursday
night for the company’s Fort
Worth Club.
Supervisors from division,
district and area locations also
attended the dinner. Honorees
and visitors were welcomed
by C.F. Bedford, vice-presi-
dent and division manager.
Special recognition was given
to R.B. Grigsby , staff geolog-
ist at Fort Worth, and SJ).
Tarver, pumper in Monahans
area, for attaining 40 years of
service with Pan American.
Diamond 30-year service pins
were presented to L.L. Martin
Levelland area.
All award recipients were
complimented on completing
this important milestone in
their careers and were praised
for the important part they
have played in the growth and
development of the company.
Olsen refused to tape a third
half-hour episode of another
NBC daytime show, the "Match
Game,” after completing two
tapings earlier in the day.
"We have told our members
not to appear in a prerecording
unless they know that the pro-
ducer has signed the agree-
ment,” an AFTRA spokesman
said.
Canceled taping sessions in
Hollywood included NBC’s
“Swinging Country” and “You
Don’t Say.” Many shows are
taped weeks before they are to
be aired, and the effect of |
Thursday’s stoppages mightnot
be apparent immediately.
Contacts between the net-
works and the two unions — AF-
TRA and the AFL-CIO Screen
Actors Guild — expired at mid-
night Tuesday and negotiations
collapsed some four hours
later. __ _
issile system — the Nike X.
They said the qjesticn is receiv-
ing very serious consideration.
President Johnson would make
the final desicion.
McNamara announced last
| week that there is considerable
evidence that the Soviet Union
has begun deploying its antimis-
sile system around major cit-
ies. “1 think it is important that
we assume it is effective and, of
course, that will be the assump-
tion on which we base the devel-
opment and deployment of air
own Intercontinental Ballistic
Missiles,” he told newsmen at
the Texas W hite House.
In line with that, officials re-
vealed Thursday that the United
States now has 950 MinutemenI
and advanced Minutemen □
missiles in its stockpile, along
with 54 Titan D missiles and
more than 600 Polaris missiles.
There have been published
reports that the Soviets have
sharply boosted their produc-
tion of ICBMs, but officials—
without acknowledging this—
emphasized that the U.S.-Soviet
soviet relationship still is bet-
ter than 3 to 1. They refused to
speculate on future Soviet
production and also said that
their estimates of Soviet mis-
sile capabilities did not take into
account the Soviet rockets now
trained on European targets.
McNamara’s delay in depl-
oying the Nike X system — esti-
mated to cost between 98 billion
and $30 billion — has been shar-
ply criticized by some members
of Congress in the past and is
expected to be a prime point of
contention next year.
Sen. Strom Thurmond, R-6.C.,
warned Wednesday that any
future delay in deploying the
N ike X system could be fatal to
American security.
Officials answered that
charge indirectly by pointing
out that the United States has
spent more than $2 billion thus
far in research and develop-
ment on the Nike X — dollars
that have improved America’s
ability to get the system into
action once a go-ahead is given.
They refused to estimate, how-
ever, how long this might take.
McNamara is known to have
serious reservations about the
effectiveness of any antimissile
system and has told Congress in
the past that millions of lives
could be lost no matter how
much money was spent on de-
velopment of the Nike X.
That thinking was echoed
Thursday when officials cau-
tioned that because the Soviets
are constructing an antimissile
system, it does not follow that
the United States should go
ahead with the Nike X.
