Latins get assurances from Nixon
By STEWART HENSLEY
WASHINGTON (UPI) —Ma
jor Latin American nations
have fought for and received
assurances that President Nix
on is not contemplating any
move toward restoring diploma
tic and economic relations with
Cuba during his second term.
These hemispheric allies fear
that Nixon, in pursuing his “era
of negotiations,” might secretly
undertake a “peace offensive”
in the Caribbean without
advising them in advance.
Their fear stemmed from
recollections of how Japan was
left out on a diplomatic limb
when the United States, while
still urging Tokyo to beware of
Peking and strengthen ties with
Taiwan, suddenly announced
Nixon’s plan to visit Communist
China and seek “normalization”

of relations.
These nations now have been
advised officially through diplo
matic channels of the position
Nixon took in an interview 10
days ago with the Washington
Star-News. In that interview, he
said “there will be no change,
no change whatever, in our
policy toward Cuba, unless and
until —and I do not anticipate
this will happen —Castro
changes his policy toward Latin
America and the United
States.”
Castro Loses Charisma
Actually, an overwhelming
majority of the 24 member
nations of the Organization of
American States (OAS) still
support the diplomatic and
economic quarantine which the
organization adopted at the
behest of the United States
following the Cuban missile
crisis of 1962.
Only three of the 24 —
Mexico, Chile and Peru —have
diplomatic relations with Cas
tro. Three others —Jamaica,
Barbados and Trinidad-Tobago
—have said they intend to
recognize the Castro regime but
Washington considers their
intended action understandable
because of their geographical
position.
Most of the major Latin
American countries, according
to high administration officials,
are not pressing for any change
in the OAS position. Castro has
lost most of the charisma he
once projected among Latin
Americans, U.S. officials say.
And they acknowledge privately
that his one-time subversive
efforts in the hemisphere now
are practically nonexistent.
However, so long as he
continues his military ties with
the Soviet Union and his refusal
to acknowledge OAS obliga
tions, the United States will
undertake no peace overtures
and most members of the OAS
appear to support Washington’s
position.
Earlier this week there was a
flurry of speculation that
Washington might be softening
its attitude. The State Depart
ment expressed its appreciation
to Cuban officials “for the
cooperation shown the aircraft
crew and passengers” of a
crippled Southern Airlines jet

hijacked to Havana by three
gunmen who extorted a report
ed $2 million from airline
officials.
However this “friendly ges
ture,” as a State Department
spokesman described it, was
simply an effort to maintain
some cordiality in the hope of
getting Castro to return the $2
million. This presumably was a
vain hope since the United
States has frozen all Cuban
assets in this country and
Castro is unlikely to send any
American money back to the
United States, no matter how
harshly he may deal with the
hijackers.
High administration officials
say that in view of Castro’s
current attitude and actions
and his obvious intention to
give aid and comfort to the
Soviet Union in the Caribbean,
there is virtually no chance of
any real improvement of
relations.
And they assert that no effort
along that line would be made,
in any event, without full
concurrence of the OAS.

make four courtrooms.

46 sailors
missing
in wreck
ATHENS (UPI) -Forty-six
Greek sailors were missing and
presumed dead today following
the collision of two ships, one of
them owned by millionaire
shipping magnate Stavros Ni
archos, in the worst Greek
maritime disaster in six years.
One man was killed when the
2,000-ton navy transport Merlin
was rammed by a giant oil
tanker Wednesday five miles
outside the “Never on Sunday”
port of Piraeus.
The Merlin sank with 45 of its
59 crewmen. Authorities said 14
men were rescued but one of
them died later in a hospital.
The 215,000-ton tanker World
Hero, owned by Niarchos,
which sliced into the Merlin-and
ripped it in two, was not
damaged. A Niarchos spokes
man said there were no injuries
to its crew.
Officials said it was Greece’s
worst shipping disaster since
the ferry Heraklion burned in
1966, killing 264 persons.
A navy announcement said
the Merlin sank at a depth of
295 feet.
“Despite strenuous efforts to
locate and rescue the missing
crew members,” a spokesman
said, “there were no results
except the finding of the body
of a second lieutenant. It is
questionable whether the ship
can be salvaged.”

How to conserve energy
By LOUIS CASSELS
United Press International
There are things you as an
individual can do to ease the
impact and reduce the cost of
America’s growing energy
shortage.
The White House Office of
Emergency Preparedness has
been looking at the President’s
request for practical measures
to conserve substantial quanti
ties of oil, gas and electric
power.
The search is spurred by
alarming projections of U.S.
energy consumption. Last year,
we used 69 quadrillion BTU’s.
BTU stands for British
Thermal Units, an international
standard used by scientists to
measure energy.)
By 1980, without vigorous
conservation efforts, our energy
consumption is expected to rise
to 96 quadrillion BTU’s, an
increase of 39 per cent.
Even if our output of nuclear
power grows at the fastest
possible rate, most of the
increased energy demand
would have to be met by
importing larger quantities of
oil from the Middle East.
Reason to Cooperate
The government wants to
minimize our dependence on
this source of energy because
(1) it is costly and would lead to
rises in consumer prices of such
things as electricity and
gasoline; (2) it would greatly
aggravate our international
balance of payments (money
outflow) problem; and (3) it
— Griffin Daily News Thursday, November 16,1972
would increase our military and
diplomatic vulnerability in
Mideast power maneuvers.
So every American has
reason to cooperate in energy
conservation measures. Here
are some suggestions by the
Office of Emergency Prepared
ness (OEP) for individuals:
—Use smaller automobiles,
and keep them properly tuned
and tired so that you get
maximum mileage per gallon of
gas.
—lmprove the insulation of
your home; keep your furnace
clean (or replace it if it’s
obsolete); add storm windows if
needed, keep your thermostat
at the most economical fuel-use
level consistent with comfort.

their thermostats 2 degrees
lower during the winter heating
season and 2 degrees higher
during the summer air condi
tioning season, the energy
savings would be equivalent to
600,000 barrels of oil per day.)
Other Suggestions
The OEP also offers nume
rous energy conservation sug
gestions to business, industry
and government:
—Shift intercity freight wher
ever practical from highway to
rail. (Trucks consume more
energy than trains per ton-mile
of freight transported.)
—Through taxes or rate
changes, induce more intercity
passengers to travel by train or
bus instead of plane.
