Havana looks like lady
with patched stockings
HAVANA, Cuba (UPI) -
Twelve years ago Havana
looked like a beatiful lady who
had fallen on hard times and
had runs in her stockings.
She’s still the same beautiful
lady, but now she can be
described as wearing new, but
inferior quality stockings, or
maybe just patching up the old
ones.
The physical change in
Havana is notable, even though

she doesn’t have the glitter and
glamor of pre-revolutionary
days when she was the pleasure
capital of the Caribbean.
The most notable change is in
the traffic. New Chevrolets,
Ford Falcons and Plymouth
Crickets, all imported from
Argentina over the past year,
have replaced many of the old,
pre-1959 American cars that
once limped along for lack of
replacement parts.
Gone, too, is the armed camp
image of 1964, when the
revolution was just five years
old. Then, militiamen — and
women — were omnipresent.
Now they’re hardly seen.
“We’re all militiamen now, so
we don’t have to dress up,”
said one middle-aged woman
checking employe identifica
tions at the side entrance of the
Havana Libre (formerly Hilton)
Hotel.
“There’s no need for militia
men in the streets now because
there’s no external threat,”
said the woman, who still wore
a pair of army pants and boots,
with a blouse on top.
The government, which previ
ously concentrated its construc
tion program in the interior,
has recently begun to spruce up
this capital of two million
people.
Many buildings in the former
ly exclusive Vedado district,
where the main hotels are
located, have been repaired and
painted. Several new buildings
have been erected.
The Riviera Hotel, the last
opened before the 1959 revolu
tion, has been completely
refurnished. The air-condition
ing in the Capri hotel, which
had been broken down for
years, is now working, as are
the automatic doors at the
Havana Libre.
Old Havana, with its pic
turesque colonial buildings and
narrow streets, has suffered
greatly from neglect. Now,
scores of over-hanging balco
nies are propped up with planks
while work crews try to effect
repairs.
Where the buildings are
beyond repair, whole blocks are
being razed and will be
replaced by apartment build
ings and other structures.
Most of the pre-revolutionary
night clubs still are open —
under government manage
ment, of course. The shows are
lively and sometimes sensual,
but there’s no nudity.
Nor is that popular pre
revolutionary commodity — sex
—for sale.

purchase and upgrading of the
Boston-Washington passenger
corridor by Amtrak, and funds
for other rail improvements.
The bill escaped a presiden

to cut the funds for the Boston-
Washington passenger project
back from $2.6 billion to $1.85
billion, and to give the
administration greater control
over the flow of federal funds
to Conßail.
