The 11/10/59, issue of the "Miami Herald" contained an article entitled, "Cuban Booklet ‘Malicious, Offensive’ to US," bearing a Washington, DC dateline. This article reflected that the US on Monday accused Cuba of publishing -an. offensive brochure full of inaccurate, malicious, and leading reports about the alleged bombing of Havana last month. The article disclosed that Assistant Secretary of State ROY R. RUBUTTOM, handed Cuban Ambassador ERNESTO | DIHIGO a bluntly worded note complaining about continued Cuban charges that US-based planes bombed and strafed Cuban citizens. Mr. RUBOTTOM also showed DIHIGO a copy of the brochure which the State Department charged was "Evidently designed further to create an atmosphere of hostility in US- Cuban relations." | This article disclosed that the brochure, printed {in English, had arrived in the mail uvér the weekend addressed ito Secretary of State CHRISTIAN A. HERTER, and bore the seal of the Cuban Ministry of State. 2 DoclId: 322793643 Page 4
S ' The article stated that the new American note again denied categorically any idea that the US approved the flight of a B25 which dropped leaflets on Havana on the night of 10/21/59. The article also stated "The US note said intensive investigation showed the boinb bay of the B25 was fitted with a permanent. luggage rack which made it impossible for the plane to drop bombs. It also said the plane's automatic weapons positions had been permanently sealed so that no cannon or machine gun could have been mounted on the plane. "The note said furthermore that available evidence, including eye witness reports, indicated that many, if not all, of the Cubans injured October 21, 1959, received their wounds from Cuban gunfire." MM is retaining an Autostat copy of this brochure. ADDENDUM: On the late afternoon of 11/10/59, Col. FAGET advised that between ten thousand to fifteen thousand copies of this brochure were shipped into Miami via Cubana Airlines destined to the office of Cubana Airlines at 100/Biscayne Boulevard, Miami, for dissemination in» the Ug, presumably by the Cuban Consulate, and Cubana Airlifes.
