“It’s a standard joke." Mato said, “that Castro ‘wants Miami back because there are so mar.y influence,' j Cubans there. When you are living in Miami you don’t feel you are outside of Cuba.’*
Many Cubans realize t h e danger behind the Kremlin, Mato explained, but there are many people who don’t realize it’s subtleness.
Kremlin Power They don’t recognize its power as a well-organized front with loyal devoted followers willing to sacrifice anything to spread the party’s message.
“And when we have a situation such as Cuba everything should be done to keep the spark of liberty, even the smallest spark, aflame," Mato said.
Mato admitted that the task is difficult. But in solving the over all problem he predicted that “a spiritual force will play a great part — perhaps the greatest.”

in the nation, are currently engaged n a birazde exploration of the earth's unpenetrated layers.
A new milestone in U. S. scientific research, “Project Mohole” is named after Andrija Mohoro-vicic, a Yogoslav, and met initial success with a three-mile downward thrust from a floating barge off the coast of San Diego.
Analyze Sediments The primary concern of the professors in the “Mohole" operations is to analyze newly-found sediments through geologic, biochemical and bacteriological processes.
Headed by Dr. Kenneth O. Emery of the geology department, the team of professors include Dr. Sidney C. Rittenberg. professor of bacteriology; Dr. Jobst Hulsemann, visiting professor of marine geology; Paul D. Salt man. associate professor of biochemistry and nutrition: and Dr. Rimon Fay, professor of bacteriology and biochemistry.-
In comparing the significance of “Mohole" digging to that of space probing. Dr. Rittenberg sees greater value in the oceanographic studies as far as “near-term benefits" are concerned.
Important Undertaking The bacteriology professor considers oceanography to be the more important undertaking “since the human race has not yet adequately explored the vast potentialities of the ocean."
“Some parts of the ocean are extremely fertile.” he said, “and exploring them might help boost food production in the future.
‘‘The ocean can be a source of food, important minerals and power,” he explained.
The most exciting aspect of the exploration, according to Dr. Rittenberg. is “the possibility of being able to date the origin of life by examining samples of the actual 'Mohole' core.” Exciting Aspect Dr. Rittenberg views ‘‘Mohole” thrusts as “a chance for expanding new horizons.”
The professor revealed that ether nations are also involved in this phase of oceanography.
“In fact, the Soviets have been devoting more time and effort to the study of the ocean Hian the U.S. in recent years,” he said.
Dr. Rittenberg asserted that every inch of progress made to-
The professor pointed out, however, that “so far there is no concrete evidence that would prove the Russians to be lagging behind.”
Although reaching the “Mohole” w'ould require 5 to 10 miles of penetration into the earth’s mantle, scientists working on the project virtually hit “pay dirt” when they succeeded in digging a hole 600 ft. from the ocean floor.
Mohole Probinsr Dr. Rittenberg attached further significance to the “Mohole” probing, stating that “scientists might be able to determine the composition of sea wa- i ter in the early oceans.”
The professor also said that, by studying sediments dug from the bottom layers of the earth's crust, “we could determine changes in organic matter and other components of sediment brought about by the passage of time.”
The "Mohole,” also referred to as the area of discontinuity, was discovered in 1909 by Mo-horovicic through his analysis of earthquake vibrations.
The reason the scientists drill in the ocean is to avoid boring through 15 to 20 miles of continental rocks. With only three to five miles of basalt sep arating the unexplored mantle of the earth from the outer crust, geologists find it more practical to dig from ocean basins like those found along the coasts of San Diego and Guadalupe.
