Increasing Unrest Reported
In Cuba May Lead To Explosion
Two anti-Castroa 
organizations Monday reported 
growing unrest in Cuba because
of food and other shortages and
the government's new crackdown
on private business.
"An internal explosion seems to
be brewing in Cuba," according to
the Citizens' Committee for a Free
Cuba.
"It is possible that Premier Fidel

Castro himself may not last out
another year in power the committee 
added.
The second Escambray Front Alpha 
66 Exile Arganization said
"recent events in Cuba reveal an
intense and dramatic crisis of extreme 
desperation."
It called on all Cuba refugees to

join in preparations for armed attacks 
on their homeland.
"The moment has come to put
aside speeches and impractical
theories and to class ranks with
arms in our hands, fulfilling our
sacred duty which our father land
demands," the refugee group said.
Quoting recently arrived the
citizens' committee said "more than
one ration line has been turned
into an anti government demonstration." 

"Refugees report that it is now
common to find anti Castro and
anti communist slogans scribbled
on the walls of buildings in Havana 
in public rest rooms and
even in factories."
The committee said Castro's recent 
order closing down virtually
all remaining private businesses including 
bars "was based on the results 
of a quiet investigation ordered 
by the central committee of
the Communist Party and carried
out by the secret police."
Castro himself said in a recent
speech that bars, cabarets and
small grocery stores were being
occupied by "counter revolutionaries" 
the committee said.
Afraid to talk at home Cubans
were using these places "to give
vent to their anti Communist and
anti Castro feelings'" according to
the committee.
In its statement the second Escambray 
Front Alpha 66 group said
"we cannot forsee how the current 
situation in Cuba will develop. 
But we Cuban exiles must
fare this convulsive state with decision 
energy and courage.
"Therefore war actions against
the oppressive regime can no longer 
be delayed" it added.

Liberalized Abortion
Laws Will Soon Be
Passed In Most States
Remarka-,
bly rapid progress during the
past few years has been made in
the drive to make our abortion
laws humane. Liberalized abortion
laws have already been passed in
Colorado, North Carolina and California. 
"No reform movement in
recent history has advanced so
quickly from the idea stage to action 
and legislation," observes Professor 
Lewis S. Feuer, sociologist
and philosopher of the University
of Toronto. According to an article 
in the April Issue of Parents'
Magazine, this dramatic progress,
achieved in spite of strong opposition 
reflects the dedicated efforts
of leaders in many fields - in
medicine, psychiatry, sociology, jurisprudence. 

An article in the April issue of
Parents' Magazine, written by Lawrence 
Lader, author of Abortion.
discusses the ethical and medical
considerations that underlie the
drive to liberalize abortion laws
throughout the country. Public opinion 
polls reveal a great demand
for reform. In May, 1967, a California 
poll found seventy-three
per cent of the people favored a
liberalized abortion law. Strong
support has also come from the
elergy Protestant, Catholic and
Jewish.
At the heart of the abortion controversy 
has been the question of
when a fertilized egg becomes a
human being. The recently formed
Clergymen's Consultation Service
on Abortion in New York, consisting 
of a group of ministers and
rabbis, stated. "We affairm that
there is a period during gestation
when, although there may be embryonic 
life in the fetus, there is
no living child upon whom the
crime of murder can be committed" 
Even the Papal Study Commission 
on Birth Control, released
in June 1966, acknowledges in the
minority report the acceptance by
some theologians of abortion "if
it can be established with certainty
that the rational soul does not

come into existence at the moment
of fertilization."
The campaign for wholly legalized 
abortion, unrestricted by any
limiting statutes that now exist
such as threat to the life or mental 
health of certain women, receives 
support from about a quarter 
of the U. S. population. The argument 
underlying this position
rests mainly on the belief in women's 
civil and human rights. "It
is the civil right of a woman to
seek to terminate a pregnancy, and
of a physician to perform or refuse 
to perform an abortion, without 
the threat of criminal sanctions." 
declares the American Civil 
Liberties Union.
Whether or not there is any likelihood 
that abortion will be completely 
legalized in this country in
the near future, experts in many
fields are convinced that liberalized 
laws will soon be passed in most
of our states, what is most urgently 
needed, the Parents' Magazine
article concludes, is to prevent the
need for the many abortions now
being sought and performed. The
proper use of safe and effective
contraceptive methods now available 
will enormously reduce the
number of women seeking abortions. 

NELSON ROCKEFELLER, Governor 
of New York:
"I am not going to create dissension 
within the Republican party 
by contening for the nomination, 
but I'm ready and willing to
serve the American people if called."

Your professional beautician
knows the answer...
Hair care and beauty experts Know that the first traces of gray
hair—and even slight fading of natural color after chemical relaxing—can 
dull a woman's appearance and make her look older
than she feels. While most women hate these premature aging
effects, many are hesitant about using permanent peroxide
hair coloring which may change the natural hair color while
coloring gray.
Professionally-trained hairdressers know the importance of
their customers' preferences when unwanted gray becomes a
problem. These experts also know that Clairol created semipermanent 
Loving Care hair color lotion without peroxide...
to color only the gray without changing the natural shade. They
also find Loving Care blends back color faded by chemical
processing. Because of its mildness, Loving Care maintains
healthy looking hair and lasts through a month of shampoos.
Whatever a woman's reason for wanting Loving Care for her
hair, she is always wise to consult a professional beautician.
Hairdressers are equipped with a family of fine Clairol products
and the training to promise each patron the loveliest and most
personalized hair coloring effects every time she visits her salon.
If you dislike gray, and want m peroxide, why not ask your

Teaching Of Pre-School Children
Will Go On Air, Fall 1969
A national television experiment
in the teaching of preschool children 
will go on the air in the fal
of 1969, it was announced Jointly
recently by Carnegie Corporation
the Ford Foundation, and the U
S. Office of Education.
The experiment — known as the
Children's Television Workshop —
will be funded initially by these
three agencies and the Office of
Economic Opportunity, National Insttiute 
of Child Health and Human
Development, and the National
Endowment for the Humanities
Including advance preparation and
26 weeks of actual broadcasts, it is
expected eventually to cost between
$6 and $8 million.
Hour-long color television programs 
will be broadcast daily (perhaps 
both in the morning and
afternoon) five days a week. The
Workshop will offer its program
to 140 noncommercial television
stations through National Educational 
Television and possibly —
on an experimental basis — to selected 
commercial stations.
The Workshop will begin production 
in the fall of 1968. It will
spend its first year testing segments 
of programs via closed circuit 
for appeal and educational
impact. The coming summer will
be devoted to a series of seminars
in which educators and the project
staff will determine specific educational 
goals for the programs.
The aim is to stimulate the intellectual 
and cultural growth of
young children — particularly
those from disadvantaged backgrounds. 
Television professionals
will work in partnership with educators, 
psychologists, and other
child-development specialists to
fuse education and entertainment
into taped programs that will interest, 
engage, and instruct four
and five-year-olds. The most professional 
and sophisticated techniques 
of television will be used
to teach subject matter ranging
from concepts of number and shape
to recognition of the alphabet, and
to advance such skills as language
and reasoning.
In a joint statement, Alan Pifer,
president of Carnegie Corporation,
McGeorge Bundy, president of the
Ford Foundation, and Harold Howe,
U. S. Commissioner of Education
said:
Greater efforts to help close the
gap between disadvantage and
middle-class children are urgently
needed, but right now public, school
resources — funds and classroom
space — are not nearly adequate.
The Children's Television Workshop 
could provide one immediate
and practical answer, although by
no means a final or total one.
"This is an enterprise that needs
and deserves public and private
support. Our three organizations
are glad to join forces in experimenting 
with the use of television
for the early childhood stimhulation 
that can start all children or
the educational journey so vital to

their lives and to the well-being
of the nation.
"We are well aware that what
young children like best on television 
is fast-action thrillers and
cartoons. The question for the Children's 
Television Workshop is not
whether television can teach but
whether the kind of entertainment
that children like on television can
be put to educational purposes. No
matter how worthwhile the project's
intent, it will succeed only if preschool 
viewers are enthralled and
entertained, as well as helped to
earn, by the programs."
An advisory committee to the
Workshop will be headed by Gerald 
S. Lesser, Bigelow Professor of
Education and Development Psychology 
at Harvard University.
The executive director of the
Workshop will be Joan Ganz
Cooney, television consultant to
Carnegie Corporation and former
producer at Channel 13-WNDT,
New York's educational station.
Grants for the Children's Television 
Workshop will be administered 
by National Educational Television 
(NET). The Workshop will
be a self-contained unit within
NET with its own executive director 
and a staff organized into four
departments — production, research
and evaluation, administration, and
promotion. Its executive director
will report to John White, president
of NET and through him to the
NET Board of Directors. A project
policy committee consisting of
representatives of the principal
funding sources and of NET will
meet when necessary to decide major 
management and administrative
policies.
Commenting on the background
of the project, Mrs. Cooney said,
"A growing number of psychologists 
and educators believe that
children can absorb intellectuallyoriented 
material before they enter
school. Although much more needs
to be known about how very young
children from all backgrounds
learn, initial results of preschool
programs are encouraging.
"But if all four year olds, five
million in number, were to attend
public schools in the near future,
there would not be enough classrooms 
or trained teachers to accommodate 
them. The estimated
bill for educating them (aside from
the cost of bulletins new classrooms) 
would be $2.75 billion.
'So television seemed to us to
afford a real opportunity to reach
children intellectually at this vital
early age. During peak viewing
seasons children under the age of
six watch more than 50 hours of
television a week. Little, if any, of
their favorite television fare is
what children-development authorities 
regard as preparation for
the real world and school.
"But even if the public schools
were not short of money and space
for preschool education, it would
be worthwhile experimenting with

the use of this powerful communications 
medium — one that is
natural to children of all ages —
to complement and reinforce classroom 
and preschool teaching and
learning.
In 1965, Carnegie Corporation established 
the Carnegie Commission
in Educational Television, which
under the chairmanship of James
R. Killian, Jr., issued a report,
Public Television: A Program for
Action. When the Public Broadcasting 
Act of 1967 was signed into
law, the Corporation pledged $1
million for support of the new
Corporation for Public Broadcasting. 
Most recently, Carnegie Corporation 
made a grant of $250,000
to the Eastern Educational Network 
programming of important
events.
Since 1951 the Ford Foundation
has made grants of some $152
million both in public television
(for general-audience viewing) and
in instructional television at the
school and college levels. The Children's 
Television Workshop is a
blend of the two. Previously assisted 
public television activities include 
facilities, equipment, and
operational support for noncommercial 
stations; National Educational. 
Television, the central
source of programming for noncommercial 
stations; and the Public 
Broadcast Laboratory, an experimental 
television producing organization 
that broadcasts every
Sunday evening.
In televised instruction, the
Foundation has supported such
projects as the National Program
in the Use of Television in the
Public Schools, the Midwest Airborne 
Program in Instructional
Television, the Hagerstown, Maryland 
experiment in closed-circuit
instruction, the Chicago Television
College and the National Association 
of Educational Broad-asters'
current project to train teachers
in the improved classroom use of
television.
Through direct grants and contracts, 
the United States Office
of Education has spent an estimated 
$45 million for research, development, 
and television facilities
Additional, but impossible to estimate 
accurately, are the multimillion 
dollar expenditures by local
educational agencies under allocations 
from Titles I and III of the
Elementary and Secondary Education 
Act of 1935.

WHITNEY M. YOUNG
NAMED TO MUSCULAR
DISTROPHY BOARD
Whitney 
M. Young, Jr., executive director 
of the National Urban
League, was among the five new
members elected to the national
Board of Director of Muscular Distrophy 
Associations of America.
His election, which was announced
by MDAA's president Paul Cohen,
took place at the Board's annual
meeting, held this year at the
Washington Hilton.
"We are fortunate, indeed", Mr.
Cohen said, "to have a man of
such wisdom, stature and competence 
participate in the deliberations 
of our governing body." Civic 
leaders like Mr. Young, he ob
served, 
are keenly aware of the
immense burden which crippling
diseases impose not only on victims 
and their families but on the
community at large. Nevertheless,
he added, these conditions are no
longer regarded as hopeless by the
medical profession. "Scientific understanding 
of them has advanced
to the point where we can state,
without any qualification whatever,
that they can and will be conquered." 

MDAA, one of the nation's leading 
health agencies, sponsors worldwide 
research Into muscular dystrophy 
and related disorders of the
neuromuscular unit and, through

its affiliated chapers, provide essential 
services to those afflicted.
The other new members of the
Association's 50-man Board are
Herman Badillo, president of the
Borough of the Bronx, N. Y. C.;
William Chatalas, of Seattle, a
member of the state of Washington's 
House of Representatives:
Domenico A. Fanelli, president of
the Technical Tape corporation,
New Rochelle, N. Y.; and C. Jay
Parkinson. president of The Anaconda

Bahai Community Of
Atlanta Celebrates
(NAW-RUZ) New Year
Members of the Bahai Community 
of Atlanta, Georgia, joined
millions of Baha'i is around the
world in observing Naw - Ruz, the
Baha'i New Year on March 21.
There was a dinner and program 
at Smith's Restaurant in
the West View Plaza, 2037 Gordon
Road, S. W. at 7:30 P. M. Mr. Jack
Perrin of Atlanta, Ga., was the
key note speaker for the evening.
A slide presentation of the Baha's
is 100th Centennary Celebration
around the world was also shown.
Mr. William Allison, chairman of
the Atlanta Baha'i Community
stated that the Baha'i Faith, which
originated in Iran (Persia) in 1844,
has a calendar of its own. The
Bahai calendar is based on the
solar year, consists of nineteen
months each with nineteen days,
with the New Year falling on the
vernal equinox (March 21). The
Solar year is equalized by for (five
in Leap Year) intercalary days preceding 
the last Baha'i month. The
Years, months and days are named 
after the attributes of God; i
e., Spendor, Beauty, Sovereignty,
etc.
Priod to New-Ruz, Mr. Allison
explained, Bahai's the world over
observe a nineteen day period of
fasting from sunrise to sunset to
refresh and reinvigorate the spiritual 
forces latent in each individual. 
The Baha'i New Year coincides 
with the advent of Spring, a
time which mankind naturally-associates 
with renewal and rebirth.
In addition to the Baha'is celebration 
their New Year and the
first day of spring March 21st is
also designated International Day
for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. 
It was first so proclaimed 
by the United Nations
General Assembly in 1996. In its
deep concern for the rights of man
and the abolition of race prejudice, 
the United Nations chose this
date to commemorate the massacre
in Sharpeville, South Africa. This
year—International Year for Human 
Rights—the United Nations
is encouraging governments to
commemorate that day by putting
into effect the provisions of two
important documents it has adopted: 
the Declaration on the Elimination 
of All Forms of Racial Discrimination 
(1963) and the International 
Convention on the Elimination 
of All Forms of Racial Discrimination 
(1965).
Both the Declaration and the
Convention stress the need for
speedily elimination throughout the

world any form of discrimination
based on race, color or ethnic origin, 
and of adopting national international 
measures to achieve this
goal. Through these documents the
United Nations has reaffirmed the
principles contained in its Charter
and in its Universal Declaration of
Human Rights that all human beings 
are equal in dignity and
rights.
In its most recent session, the
United Nations General continued
to show its concern for the problem 
of racial discrimination. It
condemed, in an official document
any ideology based on racial intolerance. 
It also asked governments 
to implement without delay
not only the international Convention 
on the Elimination of Racial 
Discrimination, but also other 
conventions related to racial
bias, such as those against discrimination 
in employment and occupation, 
and against discrimination
in education. it further requested
the Secretary-General, the United
Nations specialised agencies
(World Health Organization, UNESCO, 
International Labor Organization, 
etc.) and all organizations
concerned with racial discrimination 
contain their efforts to propagate 
the principles (and Norms)
of racial equality. Finally, it
placed the matter of abolishing
race prejudice on the agenda of
the very important International
Conference on Human Rights to
be held in April in Teheran.
Bahai communities around the
world Illustrate in theory and in
practice to oneness of mankind;
they are pioneers in asserting the
full dignity of man regardless of
ethic background. For over a century, 
baha'i have recognized that
there is but one race the human
race and this belief has guided
their actions in the matter of
rights and responsibilities. In this
ray Baha' is support the efforts
of the Nations to eradicate prejudice. 
As Baha'is joyously celebrate 
their New Year (New Ruz)
on March 21, they are reminded
how close their goals are to those
of the United Nations.
The public is cordially invited
to attend this dinner and program.
