Prof. Katter spent his first three years here as a political science major and an active debater; his senior year he was swept off his feet and onto the stage under the influence "of a fascinating and inspiring drama course." While doing graduate work in the drama department, he acted in over thirty local productions and Viet WarI Industrial NEW YORK (OP)-Heavy spend- ing for the war in Viet Nam is squeezing civilians and industry at home. The Defense Department has poured billions of dollars into the nation's economy to buy uniforms, food, bombs and bullets. To meet the needs of the fight- ing men in Viet Nam, some manu- facturers have had to cut back on production for civilians. Shortages of men's clothing have been reported by some depart- ment stores. Shortages Factories note shortages of cop- per, electronic and chemical pro- ducts, machine tools, small motors, forgings and castings, computers and aircraft engines. Defense industries had unfilled orders totalling $24.6 billion in November. By May they had directed several operas during his "My Fair Lady" and "Thurber teaching-fellow stage. Carnival."

Britain is responsible for external affairs, defense, banking, currency and exchange under a Treaty of Friendship. AP Newsfeatures Britai~n Still oldsRemains of an Empire LONDON (MP)-The British are still shouldering the white man's burden in scattered remnants of their empire, and several million of their colonial wards don't want them to lay it down. Freedom would have little meaning except bankruptcy for some islanders still under the Union Jack in the Caribbean and the South Seas. For the residents of Hong Kong or Gibraltar, in- dependence probably would lead only to domination by neighboring Spain or Communist China. Since the war Britain has given independence to about 700 million people. Now only about 10 million are left in 34 British dependencies. In population, they range in size from the 3.6 million inhabitants of Hong Kong to the 86 on lonely Pitcairn Island, where the mu- tineers of the H.M.S. Bounty settled in 1790. Although the empire once brought riches to Britain and meant only a moral burden to the white man, it now is truly a financial burden only.

In terms of finance, they are a heavy liability," Lord Caradon, Britain's chief UN dele- gate, told the General Assembly recently. In the past quarter-century, Britain has budgeted about $1 billion in development and welfare schemes in its colonies. In 1964, the last year for which figures are available, about $110 million was spent-and the figure goes up as costs rise. In these figures lie some of the reasons why remaining territories do not want to throw out the British. The British help balance the budget and pay for long- range development. In some colonies, the British also serve as political arbitrators. In Fiji, for example, the popula- tion is divided between Indians and Fijians.

MP-On the back window of Jose Negrin's car, a chipped decal shows a grinning worm clutching a carbine in one "hand" and a Cuban flag in the other. The worm stands for Cuban Prime Minister Fidel Castro's "gu- sano"-the label for his enemies who want to recapture Cuba. Ex- iled Cubans have adopted the worm as a symbol of their oppo- sition to Castro. But Negrin is not going back and neither are a lot of others who rally around the worm. Marking Time in Central America. Each indi- cation of dissension in Cuba touches off phone calls between exile groups. But all the while the assimila- tion continues. Getting Out But if the refugees worry about their return, they face other prob- lems of perhaps greater urgency. One such problem is getting fam- ily members out of Cuba. Despite Castro's relaxation of emigration rules, many persons re- main trapped on the island. Re- cently, a grizzled man with a wor- ied mouth and hopeful eyes told Union County constituents.
