Famous Vienna Woods Are
Forbidden To USA Soldiers
VIENNA (A—The famous Vienna
Woods, which inspired waltz-king
Johann Strauss, are forbidden ter
ritory for Americans stationed
here.
AU but a fringe of the beech
and chestnut-covered hills which
comprise the Wienerwald, as the
woods are called here, are in the
Russian occupation zone of Aus
tria. Under the rules of the four
power occupation of Austria, the
greatest part of the woods are off
limits not only for troops of the
Western nations, but for all Amer
ican, British and French tourists
Visiting Vienna.
Only by risking Russian arrest
and detention for two or three days
can Westerners ski on the highest
peaks of the woods in winter or
bike in summer to the pretty wine
growing villages hidden deep
among the green hills.
But even under Russian control,
the Vienna Woods have not lost
their attraction to the Viennese.
They still are the city's biggest

AFTER ATTACK FAILED. —An American soldier, wounded in
a futile assault on Spud Hill in Korea, is carried by four bud
dies toward a first aid station while in the background other
wounded are being helped from a personnel carrier. Spud Hill
is at the southern end of a hill mass called T-Bone Hill, about
12 miles southwest of Chorwon. The carefully planned UN as
sault bogged down and was beaten back by the Chinese as the
Americans got within 15 yards of the crest. They were caught
in a vicious cross fire and forced to give up the attack.— (JP)

EL PASADO NO VUELVE
Vivir de los recuerdos, es vol
ver a vivir. Recordar, es querer
todavia. A los que vivimos en
este querido Cayo los dias inol
vidables de nuestras contiendas
libertarias, el recuerdo de aque
llos tiempos, parece que prende
perfumadas siempre vivas en
nuestro corazón. Y sin poderlo
evitar, como en un desfile mila
groso, van pasando por nuestra
mente las personas, las fechas y
los acontecimientos, poniendo a
manera de una luz en nuestro es
píritu, que nos conforta y reani
ma, frente a las duras realidades
del presente.
Cómo no recordar aquellas
tardes de La Brisa, cuando la
gran familia cubana, acudía a es
cuchar la música amable que nos
ofrecían aquellos inolvidables
amigos, entre los que se encon
traban, muy principalmente, Mr.
Dillon y el siempre bien recorda
do Perfecto Ayala? . . . Después
de aquellas tardes donde el es
píritu pared tener todo el mila
grero perfume de la amistad y
de la concordia, casi todos, ve
nían en los antiguos carros eléc
tricos, manejados por Manolo Ca
mús y el viejo López, rumbo al
lugar que los cubanos graciosa
mente llamábamos "manlecani
ne/' que no era otra cosa, que el
establecimiento que el bondadoso
Alfredo Lucignani poseia en Du
val, donde ahora está parte de la
tienda de Pearlman. Allí, apurá
bamos los helados y entre charlas
amistosas y chistes de buena ley,
surgían compromisos amorosos y
amistades que se han conservado
incólumes, a través del tiempo y
del espacio.
Otras veces, años más tarde,
era el Club Atlético el lugar de
reunión de nuestra juventud.
Alli, entre refrescos y helados, se
bailaba y disipaban las penas.
Mientras otro grupo concurría ha
bitualmente, todos los Sábados
por la noche, a los conocidos al
tos de MARTIN, y alli disfrutaba
del arte de Tersípcore, entre risas
y amables camaraderías.
Estos eran los aspectos mis in
teresantes y pintorescos, de ua
ayer que se fué para no vol
ver . . .
Antes, durante los ya lejanos
dias de nuestra niñez, la barbería
de Magdaleno Valdes (a) El Lo
quito, situada al principio de la
calle de Duval, era a manera de
un pequeño cenáculo, donde los
viejos patriotas de la emigra
ción, comentaban los triunfos de
las huestes libertadoras allá en la
manigua irredenta de la Patria
cubana.
El Café de Pancho Ibem, el
restaurant El Polaco . . . Luga
res a los Que como una devota
obligación, iban los cubanos de
otrora, a rememorar el rincón
donde nacieron, sin discordias, ni
recelos, sin rencores, ni pasio
nes . . .
Cayo Hueso en aquellos dias,
tenia un especial encanto. Todo
cubano que aquí ponía su plan
ta, se encontraba entre herma
nos. Era como una gran familia,
donde todos se disputaban el an
helo de ser útil al recién llegado.
Los cubanos aquellos, al estre
char la mano del nuevo emigra
do, parecía como si le entregasen
el propio corazón.
Los domingos en las horas de
la tarde, en los antiguos terrenos
de Gato, junto a la playa del Sur,
se ‘celebraban los desafios de
baseball, donde los mejores tro
feos para los que se destacaban
en el interesante juego, eran las
moñas de cinta del color del
club, puestas sobre el pecho de
los jugadores, por manos de
señoritas cubanas, que con entu
siasmo inusitado, aplaudían las
brillantes jugadas de aquellos
hombres, que sacrificaban sus
horas de asueto, jugando base
ball, a beneficio de la Patria
que luchaba por conquistar su li
bertad. Los hermanos Rodríguez,
Pancho Poyo, "Maceró.** Ploren
tino González, Juan Borges,
"Guiña" y otro* amigos, ya desa
parecidos casi todos, contribuían
de esa manera, a sostener la re
volución independentista de los
cubanos.
Cómo no recordar a aquella
pléyade de patriotas, desinteresa
dos y honestos? .. . José Dolores
Poyo, Martin Herrera, Carlos Re
cio, Teodoro Perez, Elíseo Carta
ya y muchos más, que hacían una
verdadera consagración del ideal
de la independencia de Cuba.
Cuando las visitas de nuestro
Apóstol Marti, los patriotas taba
queros abandonaban sus mesas
del taller y corrían presurosos
a rendir el homenaje de su ad
miración y de su cariño, a aquel
gran ciudadano que, como rome
ro de un ideal sacrosanto, re
corría la América, buscando el
apoyo y la ayuda generosa de to
dos los hombres que sintieran
ansias de libertad y democrscia.
Asi era el Cayo Hsejp de
aquellos dias inolvidables. Recor
dando esos tiempos, viene a nues
tra memoria el recuerdo bien
amado de nuestros padres, que
ya duermen al ultimo sueño be
jo ls tierra cubana y de aque
llos que habiendo luchado tanto
y habiendo ofrendado hasta el
pan do los tuyos, por saberse
hombres libres, no tuvieron la
suerte de ir a descansar, arru
llados por la eanción melancólica
de las palmas, junto al cristalino
arroyuelo, en la hermosa cam
piña cubana.
El pasado no vuelvo . . . Vol
verán tal vez otros dias y otras
emociones, a poner su claridad
en nuestros espíritus, pero aque
llas horas de ansiedad en espe-l
ra de noticias de la patria, aque
llos días de júbilo al conocerse
una proeza de Gómez, Maceo u
otro de nuestros excelsos liber
tadores, esos dias, como las ga
lón drin as del inspirado Becquer,
"esos • • • no volverán* . • .
