Juan Hernandez, UK Cuban-bor-

Spanish professor, saw his

predictions of
in the recent overthrow of
true
Cuban President Fulgencio Batista
by rebel leader Fidel Castro.
Hernandez made the prediction
in a local telecast In April of last
year when he said that Castro,
who first started the Batista re-- (

of Havana in 1952, would take
over the Cuban high post,

"Batista is lucky," the professor,
born in the little rural community

said, "to get, out of Cuba alive. The
feeling runs high in

He still holds this rank in the Air
Force Reserve. His mother and
father and two nieces still live in
Cuba.
One niece, who attended elementary and one year of high school in
the United States was active in the
Castro movement, Hernandez said.
"She was frequently called upon to
deliver messages, guns or for other
undercover jobs," he added. She is
now married to an American pilot
and living in the United States
A second niece, who lives in
Santa Clara, Cuba, had just left
her home to spend Christmas holidays in Herradura when the fighting broke out there in the latter
part of December.
"I. was quite relieved," Hernandez said, , "when I had a letter
from her shortly after the fighting
began saying that she was safe in
the other Cuban town."

The people of Cuba have lired in
fear and apprehension since the
Batista regime assumed power, the
professor said. "One eould not expect to travel, the short distance
of 20 or 30 miles without being
stopped to show identification," he
added.
The danger of making a trip to
Cuba without first being advised
by his relatives was very great,
Hernandez said. We had methods

He attributes the anti-Batimovement to the students of Cuba.
He said that the feeling of the

Dirksen Elected Floor Leader;

WASHINGTON. Jan. 7 (AP)
Senate Republicans settled their
differences today by electing Sen.
Evertt Dirksen of Illnois as party
Floor Leader and Sen. Thomas
Kuchel of California as his assistant.
Dirksen, choice of the old timers
and once an ardent supporter of
the late Sen. Robert A. Taft, defeated Sen. John Sherman Cooper
of KentuJcy, the candidate of re4
belling GOP members, by a
secret ballot.

The liberals, who had been
quarterbacked by Sen. George D.

of the leadership, attained one of
their main objectives. This was to
get a representative on the group

to discuss legislative matters pending or to be presented to Congress.

The regulars retained their' con--trof the major posts, demonstrating they can marshal the votes to
impress their viewpoint on the
party's senatorial policies.

The Speed Of Light
and they were measured again.
The idea was to compare the
to
speed of the radio waves-beliebe the same as that of light-wh- ile
they were aimed with the earth's motion around the sun, and then while
they were aimed backward against
that motion.
The scientists figured that if the
earth's rotation around the sun (at
a speed ol 18.5 miles per second) had
an elf ec t on the speed of light, there
would be a difference in the frequency of-- ' the radio waves of bout 20
ved

cvcles per second.
Instead there was a difference of
onty one evele per second, and most
ol this was caused by- - the earth's

magnetic Held and other magnetic
lac tors.

The reslilt

was said to confirm a

special
part of Einstein's theory
which holds that the speed of light
should remain constant regardless of
the motion ol observers (the Scientists
on the last moving earth).
The. experiment was suggested by

NEW YORK (AP)In one of the
most precise experiments in history,
scientists have conducted a series of
tests i elating to the speed of light.
The results again confirm Einstein's special theory of relativity by
suggesting that the speed of light is
constant at 18,000 miles per second,
no matter what the motion of observers of it. The experiments made
measurements accurate to one part
in a million millions.
The key to the new tests, was an
atomic
precise
extraordinarily
"dock" called a MASER (lor Microwave Amplification by Stimulated
Emission of Radiation).
Into a cavitv of the MASER was
diiected a beam of ammonia pai tides
accelerated to high speeds. The molecules vibrated in the cavity and gave
oil radio waves. Measurements of
the frequency of these, radio waves
gave an incredibly exact measurement of time.
Two MASERS were, mounted on
an instrument panel that could be
turned in a lull cinle. Their ammonia beams pointed in ojosite
directions, east and west. The radio
frequencies were determined. Then
the machine was turned 180 degrees

This is only one small problem
you may encounter when you begin
to experiment with trick, math
problems. They may drive you
crazy, or they may transfer you
into a mathematical wizard overnight. Just think, you can overwhelm your girl friend, or astound
your trig prof with your genius.
The possibilities are limitless.
One favorite trick of a math

a number without telling you what
