Britain to Protect Ships From Cubans
Page 5
LONDON—(UFI)—Britain's navy will protect British ships if they are attacked by Cuban exile Alpha 66 commandes on the high seas, an admiralty spokesman said today.
No immediate measures have been taken by the navy and the British fleet in the Caribbean has not yet been reinforced to meet any such emergency, officials said.
The British admiralty said it is the navy's duty "to safeguard legitimate interests" of all British ships on the high seas.
SUA Art Exhibit Depicts U.S. Taste
University Daily Kansan
The popular taste of the average 19th century American is being represented this month in "American Prints," a Student Union Activities art exhibit in the south lounge of the Kansas Union.
Marilyn Stokstad, acting director of the art museum, who consulted with SUA, says it represents the sense of humor, romanticism and popular taste of the American of the late 19th century.
"Genre," scenes from daily life, is the focal point of most of the prints. The earliest prints in the collection depict the civil war, while others feature whaling and life in the 19th century.

AT THE SAME time government sources made it clear that Britain's attitude on Cuban trade and shipping remains basically unchanged.

The British attitude was clarified in these broad terms on the eve of publication of American punitive measures against shipping engaged in Cuba trade:
- Britain cannot, however, sever trade with Cuba, with whom she maintains diplomatic relations; she is quietly cutting down trade through a tightening of licences on a number of items whose export requires special government approval.
- Britain is sympathetic to United States Cuba policy and shares apprehensions over the Communist threat in the Caribbean.
- **BRITAIN DOES** not sell arms and war material to Cuba, and will not do so.
- British ships on charter to Russia and other Communist countries are said not to carry arms to Cuba, and shipowners have been urged to make sure that British ships do not pick up arms cargoes for Cuba from any country.

The International Chamber of Shipping will call a special meeting of shipowners of the worlds major maritime powers soon to review the America's requested voluntary embargo on trade with Cuba.
THE CHAMBER'S standing committee earlier this week decided against advising its members to impose such embargo and viewed with "utmost concern" proposals to penalize ships trading with Cuba.
NATO member nations were understood now to consider the issue within the frame of the defense alignment, and consultations with the United States were expected to continue.
