Ha
failure
blamed
on Cuba
WASHINGTON (AP) - Reagan
administration officials say
U.S.-Cuban negotiations on reviving
a suspended immigration agreement
ended in failure because of Cuban
demands for broad access to
American airwaves.
“I’m trying to figure out why the
Cubans came in with a proposal they
knew in advance would be rejected,”
said one State Department official,
who insisted on anonymity.
The talks opened earlier this week
in Mexico City and were aimed at
normalizing immigration ties bet-
ween the two countries. A bilateral
immigration agreement was
suspended by Cuba 14 months ago
after U.S.-government sponsored
radio broadcasts to Cuba got under
way.
The Mexico City negotiations
broke off when the Cuban delegation
demanded “clear channel frequen-
cies” for Cuban-originated broad-
casting, U.S. officials said.
A clear channel facility is an AM
radio station that is allowed ex-
clusive use of a frequency in an area
generally up to 750 miles at night-
time. The “clears” are authorized to
dominate their frequency with as
much as 50,000 watts of power. No
other station can beam its signal into
the protected area.
State Department spokesman Ber-
nard Kalb said Thursday the talks
failed because Cuba “insisted on ma-
jor and disruptive changes in the
organization of radio broadcasting in
the United States.
“In view of Cuban insistence on
their own proposals, no agreement
was reached,” Kalb said.
The officials said the administra-
tion had not envisioned the talks as a
means of improving relations with
Cuba, which have been badly strain-
ed for years.
Instead, they said, the administra-
tion was interested in reviving the
1984 immigration agreement
primarily because it called for the
return to Cuba of an estimated 2,700
emigres who are ineligible to remain
in the United States.

year decline since the government
first kept such records in 1947, the
Labor Department said today.
That compares to an overall 1.8
percent increase in the wholesale
price inflation index for all of 1985.
Gasoline prices rose by 2.9 percent
last month after an 8.6 percent jump
the month before. Food prices were
flat after a 1.1 percent rise.
Analysts said that, while the big
drops in the index of early 1986
brought about by the world collapse
in oil prices, are clearly over, they do
not anticipate a rekindling of infla-
tion anytime soon.
In fact, in hopes of prodding the
stagnant economy, the Federal
Reserve Board on Thursday lowered
its discount rate from 6.5 percent to 6
percent — its lowest level in more
than eight years.

Scrumptious odors of chili
and barbecue ribs will emit
from the grounds of the Na-
tional Cowgirl Hall of Fame
and Western Heritage Center
on Saturday for the
institution's fifth annual
benefit chili cook-off and its
first rib contest. The event is
co-sponsored by the Ses-
quicentennial Committee.
A $2 adult admission, $1 for
children under 12, gives the
privilege of taste testing the
chili and ribs all afternoon.
Music to snack by will be pro-
vided by the Tri-State
Bluegrass Express. Games
-like the egg toss- will be
open to the crowd. A live auc-
tion also will be held during
the event.
Taste testing may call for
mouth resting. The Alpha Iota
Mu sorority will have a con-
cession stand with Pepsi and
more conventional food items.
Guests also may find
amusement as cooks compete
for the three showmanship
awards.
Cooking trophies, three for
ribs and 10 for chili, will be
awarded after a panel of
judges has scrutinized each
portion for five criteria:
aroma, red color, consistency,
taste and after-taste.
Cooks still may enter the
contest by placing a $15 fee
and setting up by noon Satur-
day. No open fires are allowed
and no hook-ups are provided.
Chili must be turned in by 2:30
p.m. For contest information
contact the Hall at 364-5252.
