De cosechas enteras amenazadas
El avance de la cosecha es el resultado de la quema de campos de caña por los insurgentes y los seguidores del señor Castro, que han amenazado con destruir toda la cosecha de azúcar de Cuba este año.
Muchas de los ingenios azucareros en la provincia de Oriente y otras en las otras cinco provincias han sufrido la pérdida de la caña. No hay cifras oficiales sobre la cantidad real de la caña quemada hasta el momento, pero se considera que no hay daños graves a la cosecha se ha producido todavía.
El Niquero Sugar Mill, situado en las estribaciones de la Sierra Maestra, se inició de molienda hoy en un esfuerzo por utilizar la gran cantidad de caña de la que había sido incendiada por los rebeldes. De acuerdo con los productores de azúcar, la caña, que ha sido quemado puede ser de tierra dentro de una semana desde el tallo, que está llena de jugo, no está completamente destruido por el fuego. Sin embargo, el contenido de azúcar se reduce considerablemente.
Otras fábricas de azúcar en la provincia de Oriente están haciendo un gran esfuerzo para terminar las reparaciones y comenzar a moler. Sin embargo, en algunas de las otras provincias tanto de la caña aún no está listo para moler, según los informes.

Entire Crop Threatened
The advancement of the harvest is a result of the burning of cane fields by insurgents and followers of Señor Castro, who have threatened to destroy the entire sugar crop of Cuba this year.
Many of the sugar mills in Oriente Province and some in the five other provinces have suffered losses of cane. There are no official figures concerning the actual amount of cane burned thus far but it is considered that no serious damage to the crop has yet occurred.
The Niquero Sugar Mill, situated in the foothills of the Sierra Maestra, began grinding today in an effort to use the large amount of its cane that had been set afire by the rebels. According to sugar growers, cane that has been burned can be ground within a week since the stalk, which is full of juice, is not completely destroyed by fire. However, the sugar content is greatly reduced.
Other sugar mills in Oriente Province are making a great effort to finish repairs and start grinding. However, in some of the other provinces much of the cane is not yet ready to grind, according to reports.
Kidnapping In Havana
In Havana, Manuel Hevia, 24-year-old nephew of former President Carlos Hevia, said that he was kidnapped last Monday by a group of persons who inflicted serious burns on his body.
According to Señor Hevia, he was walking in Linea Street in the Vedado residential section at 11 P.M. when an automobile occupied by three men and a woman stopped beside him. Two of the men jumped out, revolvers in hand, and forced him into the car. He was taken to a house, kicked and burned with cigarettes, he declared.
The woman, Señor Hevia said, poured benzine over his left arm and lighted it with a match, inflicting a serous burn. After two hours of torture he was thrown into an automobile and later dumped out in a vacant lot in the fashionable Miramar district.
Recovering in his ancestral home in Vedado, Señor Hevia exhibited many burns. He said his assailants, whom he had never seen before, gave no reason for their action other than to advise him “to keep out of things.”
His father, Manuel Hevia, is a brother of former President Hevia, who is now believed living in Miami in exile. Young Manuel attended the Taft School in Connecticut and Lehigh University when it closed in November, 1956.
