Complains Again
Before leaving the Cuban
Embassy en- route to the lunch
con Mr.. Castro renewed his
complaint to reporters about
coverage in the American press.
He said the distortions about
him continue, and declared
that an example was the re-
port that his appearance
would be picketed.
He said there had been a
lack of demonstrations against
him and he was happy to see
so many smiling people.
Mr.. Castro's l1-day visit to
the United States is technically
unofficial. He was invited to
Washington to address the con-

ton for the 71-year-old Dulles,
Mr., Eisenhower wrote him:
you have been a staunch
bulwark of our Nation against
the Vaccinations of imperial
istic communism. You have
won to the side of the free
world countless people. and in.
spired in them renewed cour-
age and determination to fight
for freedom and principle.
"As a statesman of world
stature you have set a record
in the stewardship of our for
eign relations that stands clear
and strong for all to see."
At the same time, Mr.. Eisen-
hover formally requested Mr.,
Dulles Ito serve in the future,
to whatever extent your health
will permit, as a consultant to
me and the State Department
in International affairs"
In his formal letter of reSig-
nation, Mr.. Dulles wrote:

snail not be well enough soon
enough to continue to serve as
Secretary of State"
Stresses Challenge
Mr.. Dulles wrote further that
he was brought up in the belief
that this Nation was founded

otherwise until the American
people revise their sense of

we are to survive as a nation

Senator Fulbright said this
