AFTER five months' haggling, Western nations slashed from 181 to 118 the number of strategic items which are embargoed to Communist countries. But for all the talk, it's the Communists who do most to hold down the trading. See FOREIGN NEWS, Cutting the List...
...overseas territory casting a majority vote against the new constitution in next month's referendum would be considered to have voted itself clean out of the French Union. Instead, they proposed that, in such a case, the territorial assembly be allowed to decide whether or not to hold a second, local referendum on the specific issue of independence...
Though the U.S. will not have its own list ready for at least two months, it promptly made it clear that it would hold to its ban as far as Communist Asia (China, North Korea, North Viet Nam) is concerned.

They will now be allowed to export to any country that wants them such newly freed items as civil aircraft (including turboprop), all kinds of trucks, tankers under 18 knots, industrial diamonds, all petroleum refinery equipment, all turbines and diesel engines. But for all their cries that...
This did not mean that Castro could now come down and engage in a stand-up fight. But he did hold the Oriente countryside, and he was strong enough to expand his guerrilla operations.

Batista still held the big, fixed positions of power-the cities, the capital, the labor movement, the army-but their strength was ebbing...
...work properly, the accelerometer cylinders must lie at right angles to the earth's radius lines; i.e., their weights must move along tangents to the earth's circumference. Otherwise, gravity, as well as lateral movement, would affect the weights. To hold the accelerometers steady, they are hinged to platforms, stabilized by gyroscopes, which keep an unchanging relationship to the earth (the platform of the north-south instrument, for instance, is always at the same angle to the polar axis). But the accelerometers do not remain immovable. Holding their tangential position, they must slowly tip on their platforms...
