Cuba Dropped By Argentina
BUENOS AIRES—(UPI)—Argentina broke off diplomatic relations with Fidel Castro's Cuba last night, and within hours the suburban home of a U.S. embassy official was fire-bombed in apparent retaliation.
Further anti-American outbreaks appeared likely today, although there were no immediate reports of violence.
Foreign Minister Miguel A. Carcano handed Cuban Charge D'affaires Martin Mora Zia his passport at the foreign ministry last night in formal token of the diplomatic break.
THE FOREIGN OFFICE announced that Argentine diplomats plan to remain in Havana for 48 hours, winding up details of embassy business. Mora was expected $ ^{ \textcircled{1}} $ to remain here for about the same length of time. would satisfy Argentina's military lead
Hector Villanueva, the Argentine Charge D'affaires in Havana, was instructed to invite Cuba's Manuel Cardinal Artega Y. Betancourt, a "guest" at the embassy, to accompany him to Buenos Aires.
Forty other refugees in Asylum in the Havana embassy will pass under the protection of the country that undertakes to safeguard Argentine interests in Cuba. It is not yet certain which country this will be.
LATE LAST NIGHT, three unidentified men in an automobile hurled four "Molotov cocktail" incendiaries at the home of U.S. embassy official Henry Pepper in suburban Acassuso.
The attack was ineffective — two of the crude gasoline-filled bombs burst on the sidewalk and two did not function — but the would-be arsonists escaped.
PEPPER DECLINED COMMENT on the attack.
The government severed relations with the Castro regime under pressure from Argentina's generals and admirals, who were infuriated by this country's failure to vote for ostracism of the Castroites at the recent conference in Punta Del Este. Argentina was one of six nations which abstained.
The break was demanded by the military leaders more than a week ago, and since then it had been only a question of time how soon it would be announced.
CUBAN REFUGEE LEADERS here were pleased by the break, although it appeared they did not believe the Argentine government had gone far enough. Refugee leader Jose I. Rasco said last night the "traitor government" of Castro was a cancer that should be "treated with surgery, not with antibiotics."
The Cuban embassy, in a statement handed out at midnight through a peephole in its tightly closed door, hinted that the break was the work of persons "aided by imperialist dollars who hope to enslave our country."
The statement said there has not been and will not be any break between the Argentine and Cuban peoples, and it vowed that Castro's foes will fail in their efforts to bring him down.
IT WAS NOT immediately certain whether the diplomatic rupture
The armed forces virtually broke relations with their own government a week ago, when President Arturo Frondizi made a speech in the provincial city of Parana defending the legalistic arguments his government had used to explain its abstention at Punta Del Este.
Since that time, the generals and the admirals have boycotted public functions, even social occasions like the banquet the government gave for Belgian ex-King Leopold III.

Kilgore Sees Changes In Newspaper Image
59th Year, No.79
WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE LECTURER—Burton W. Marvin, dean of the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information greets Bernard Kilgore, president of the Wall Street Journal, on the school's annual William Allen White Day.
A third generation Kansas Newspaperman today received the William Allen White Award for Journalistic Merit for a Kansas editor at a noon luncheon commemorating the birth of the famous Emporia publisher.
DANIEL R. ANTHONY III. editor and publisher of the Leavenworth Times, became the ninth Kansas newspaper to receive the award.
Dolph Simons, publisher of the Lawrence Daily Journal - World. presented the award to Anthony at the annual William Allen White luncheon in the Kansas Union. He cited the selection of Anthony "because of his exemplification of the William Allen White ideals in

journalism and in services to the profession and his community."
Anthony was reared in a family rich with newspaper heritage, Simons said.
Faculty of 2 Departments Will Be Questioned by YAF
the Anthonys not only have the longest family record of newspaper operation in Kansas but few families and few states anywhere can match the accomplishments, fortitude, endurance, excitement, public service and zest for living as the Anthonys of Leavenworth," he said.
KU Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) decided last night to poll economics and political science faculty members for opinions in several political areas.
Members of the two departments will be asked their views rather than if they are liberals or conservatives.
In 1855 the recipient's grandfather sold a Rochester, N. Y., insurance business to move west. Daniel R. Anthony I established the "Conservative" in 1861, purchased the "Bulletin" in 1863, and then purchased the Leavenworth Times, the oldest daily newspaper in Kansas in 1871. In 30 years the elder Anthony purchased several other papers combining them with the Times.
IN OTHER ACTION, YAF voted to.
- Try to initiate a "conservative club" at Lawrence High School.
- Establish a statewide committee for state congressman Robert Dole.
- Make efforts to get the organization publicized through posters to be put in the various schools and living groups of the university.
- Work for the resumption of nuclear testing.
- Invit Sen. Barry Coldwater,
R-Arizona, to speak at KU March
Marick Payton, chairman of the group, said it had been decided to ask the political science and economic professors specific political questions because of "semantic problems connected with the words liberal and conservative."
30. Goldwater will be in Wichita to speak on March 31.
Jay Deane, Kansas City junior, said the questions would be posed so that the answers would give YAF and the public "concrete data on which to judge the professors' political leanings."
He explained that such areas as "government intervention" in agriculture and federal aid to education would be put before the faculty members.
BRENT MANDRY, FERGUSON,
Mo., senior, said "the questions will
This action is an outgrowth of a recent charge made by State Senator Ford Harbaugh, R-Wellington, on the floor of the Senate that "socialist doctrines under the name of liberalism" were being taught at KU without "equal encouragement being given to conservatism."
be on internal affairs, with no foreign policy matters involved."
"We endorse the efforts of Sen. Harbaugh 100 per cent" said Richard Garnett, Mission Hills senior. "What the Senator said should have been said a long time ago."
YAF also voted to sponsor a delegation to the Model U.N. They decided to apply to represent Portugal. The members of the delegation will be Mandry, Deane, Jack Zinn, Shawnee Mission freshman, and Garnett.
The elder Anthony lived in the day when arguments were settled by pistol fire. He carried three notches on his gun and was adept at dodging bullets, Simons said.
DANIEL READ ANTHONY JR., the father of the honoree, had a distinguished career in politics in addition to his work on the "Times." Simons noted. Dan the second served 32 years in Congress, the longest of any Kansas congressman until his time.
Describing Daniel Anthony III,
Simons said:
"In a quiet, dignified and unobtrusive manner he has been the guiding hand in publishing one of the better newspapers in the state.
"THE HAS CREATED greater respect for the newspaper business because of his manner, his dignity and his courage. He is a true gentleman and as the third generation of Leavenworth Anthonys he has fully measured up to his forbears in service to his community," Simons said.
The honoree assumed control of the "Times" in 1926 when his father became ill.
Newsman Given National Citation
THIS WAS THE OPINION expressed today by Bernard Kilgore, president of the Wall Street Journal, in the 13th annual William Allen White Lecture.
The image of the American newspaper, which in the past has been dominated by the brassy, massminded metropolitan daily, is finally changing to fit the present-day newspaper picture.
He spoke shortly after he received the William Allen White Foundation's annual national citation for journalistic merit.
Mr. Kilgore was presented the citation by the president of the William Allen White Foundation, Ernest W. Johnson, editor and publisher of the "Olathe News."
"However," Mr. Kilgore said, "the complexities of the journalistic scene makes it unlikely that as our image of the old, dominating, American newspaper fades out, a simple image of a new newspaper will take its place."
He said the new image would certainly be harder to describe in simple language, and that it had not developed in many of its details as vet.
"THE NEWSPAPER image of the future," Mr. Kilgore continued, "will be the lively, local community newspaper which performs, first of all, the service of pulling its own community together with the information about itself and takes a position of editorial leadership in the affairs of that community."
He said the community newspaper would do well in covering state and regional news, and will bring in the best report of national and international affairs that it can afford.
"It will comment on world affairs because its readers will expect their editor to have opinions and ideas," he added.
MR. KILGORE described the old image as a "mass-minded metropolitan newspaper—a paper for the 'common man' as the politicians put it."
This was a newspaper dominated by showmen and promoters, and the key figure on the scene, instead of the editor, was the publisher, he added.
"The newspaper in our image," Mr. Kilgore said, "tends towards sensationalism in the treatment of news, and this involves not only selection but emphasis; it (the older image) has a reputation for irresponsibility."
HE CITED CHANGES in the American social structure, increasing competition from other forms of mass media, and the efforts of many journalists who were exceptions to the dominating big-city pattern as basic motivations for the changing image.
Mr. Kilgore said that William Allen White and other exceptional editors "tried valiantly to disassociate themselves from the prevailing image" of the early twentieth century.
"I believe that the exceptions have now finally prevailed," he added.
