Cuban Oil Leases Must Be Worked
HAVANA (AP)—The govern- legislation Satur- day requifing oil exploration and exploitation firms to work their Cuban claims or lose them.
Petroleum executives said the new law appears meant to force spspension of operations by most large companies.
The ‘measure requires conces-.
sionaires to turn over operational information to the newly-created Cuban Petroleum Institute and cancels all requests for new ex- ploration and exploitation rights. An exception is made for re- to transfer existing conces- sions from exploration to ex- ploitation status. If firms ¢annot prove that drilling is in progress, they lose their concessions.
ROYALTY IMPOSED
= The law aiso “a 60-per- cent royalty on production, based on commercial rates; anes refinery production quotas, and limits exploration concessions to about 19,000 acres, far below acreages held by some firms.
oil measure follows up a

The United States issued a re-
licence plate tax and surcharge on imported cars to reduce oil consumption.
The old oil law, which did not require exploration concessionairs to work their claims, resulted in large landholdings being barred for development, and granted more concession acreage than Cuba has land, government sour- ces said.
Petroleum executives say the 60-per-cent royaltyin the new law is excessive in view of lim- limitation of oil land concessions, and the heavy registration fees
for exploration leases.

Missile Orbit Efforts: Are Planned By Yanks
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) The United States is prepared to celebrate the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday by attempting to propel a trio of \pickages into outer space. The first could be a shot at the moon Thursday, Thanks- giving Day.
Aiso on schedule are a mid-De- cember attempt to orbit the sun and an earth satellite about Christmas-time.
The first two, if, successful, would coincide ‘with’ President Ejisenhower’s forthcoming l1- country goodwill trip. The moon shot is set for a few days before he leaves; the sun orbit, during the trip.
During Nikita ichev’s re- cent visit to the United States, the Soviet premier basked in the limelight of the Lunik II rocket that heralded his arrival.

The most favorable time for the lunar launch is a four-day period starting Thanksgiving Day. If the rocket doesn’t get off in that time, the shot will be postponed at least a month.
It is estimated the Atlas-Able could cover the paneer ayy | 225,000 miles to the moon in 62 hours.
The 375-pound satellite contains a television scanning device to photograph the moon’s surface. US. scientists hope it will send back more detailed pictures than those obtained by Russia.

Tourist Industry Boom
In Reports
Sheet reports to the eal ence indicate much remains to be done.
For instance, Harvey Dryden, director of the Saskatchewan tourist branch, says Canadian tourist agencies and resorts must adopt a more vigorous and ag- gressive tourist promotion pro- gram.
“We are under-selling ourselves in the U.S. market,” he says. “Where profitable. provinces should consider working -together in their promotional programs to make a greater impact on the US. market.
In similar vein, Dan Wallace. director of the Nova Scotia Travel Bureau, says:
“There is need for an increased internal public relations program to awaken Canadians and Cana- dian industry to the importance of tourism and what can be done to co-operate in its development.
“There is still a long way to go, in Canada, to achieve the full potential of Canadian travel business: available to provinces and. areas, ‘far-way fields lok

Long Tow Job Is Swan Song
HALIFAX (OCP)—Capt/Marten Rysyk, a gritty Dutch sailog who has captained ocean - going tugs for 38 years, left here Sunday on his last voyage with the 10,000-ton Westriver in tow. The 63-year-old Schiedam, Holland, native will retire after the voyage, ending a 30-years career at sea.
“There'll be no trouble,” he shortly before sailing.

“I've been at sea since I was 13 and I haven't failed with a cargo yet,” he said.
“That freighter — that's my cargo,’ explained Capt. Rysyk.
Twenty-one crew members of theWestriver walked eff the — sel Sunday, claiming cargo carrier Pemaiktteae Only 16 men; most of them of- ficers, remained aboard.

Rain, sleet and increasing winds
were forecast to sweep the At- lantic area through which the Westriver and her tug, the Gele Zee, were to pass foday. Onty 16 of the 37-man cfew remained aboard the ship as she left here in a light snowfall Sunday morn- ing.” Immigration officials detained the 21 crew members who refused to make the 3,000-mile Atlantic crossing. A marine inquiry board has been set up to decide whether they were justified>
The, disgruntled seamen called the ship ‘a derelict’, distrusted her boilers and said only one of three lifeboats was seaworthy:
Neil Smith of Isle of Bute, Scot- land, said:
“We didn’t want to risk an ocean crossing on this derelict.”

S. C. Hope, a spokesman for A. T. O'Leary Co. Ltd., Westriver agents here, said the firm’ was asked to post a. $6,300 bond by immigration officials to. assure re- patriation of the men. He said the bond would be posted.

Cost Increase, Cash Drop Are Seen For Agriculture
Current Farm Cash
Is Seen At
OTTAWA (CP)—Canadian agri- culture next year likely will be pinched by a continued rise’ in operating costs and a levelling- off or slight decline’ in cash in- come. =
That forecast is made in a re- port by the agrieulture depart- ment, which also indicates that this year the net income of Ca- madian farmers will be little changed from 1958.
Cash income of Canadian farm- ers next year “will be about the same or slightly lower than in 1959,” the report said.
If wheat exports are main- tained. farmers’ grain market- ings should match this year’s levels, “‘but marketings and av- erage prices of both hogs and cattle are expected to be lower.”
COSTS CLIMBING
Further, a trend to higher prices of commodities and serv- ices used in farm production “‘is expected to continue.”
The report—a 110-page study of each sector of the farm industry —was issued in conjunction with the annual federal - provincial agricultural conference.
Agriculture Minister Harkness and the 10 provincial agriculture ministers meet here Monday with their deputy ministers to review the farm situation.
Dealing with this year, the re- port says 1959 farm production may increase by \five per cent

PRICES DOWN
But a larger volume of farm marketings was offset to some extent by lower prices.
Tkat would leave farm cash in- come this year “slightly greater” than last year’s $2,786,900,000.
But the report says a three-per- cent rise in prices of what the farmer has to buy is expected te leave his net ineeme close to last year’s level. Farm net income last year was $1,277,600,000.
income came from the sale of flaxseed, - tobacco, barley, live- stock, ‘poultry meat and dairy products, and larger Canadian wheat board payments.
The report provides this outline in more specific terms:
World food production reached record levels in the 1958-59 crop year and world stocks increased about 10 per cent after a fairly stable period. North America holds 80 per cent of the stocks and further increases are ex-
