Tired Castro Shouts Defiance to
 'Hypocrites' and to U. $. Insolence'

two persons were killed and scores wounded.
 In an obvious reference to the United States, Castro declared neither threats, calumnies or in science will intimidate us. We are happy just where we are because reason is with us. Reason is not with those who have more money, more resources or more news agencies. If they want to discuss matters quietly and treat us right, we'll treat anyone right"
 Castro charged that the Platt amendment giving the United States special privileges in Cuba was the chief source of Cuba's economic and social ills.
 This amendment to the Cuban constitution - drafted in 1901 and cancelled in 1894 gave the United States naval bases in Cuba, prohibited Cuba having commer- cial relations with other nations, and gave the United States the the right to intervene in Cuban affairs if American property were endangered. The only remnant of it today is the U., S. naval base at Guantanamo.
 Castro sharply criticized Amer ican news agencies and some American newspapers. A member of a panel in a TV studio read a Washington newspaper report claiming Soviet submarines were secretly delivering arms to Cuba.
 If we need arms, we will not bring them in like contraband but through the open port of Havana because this is a sovereign coun- try" he shouted.

 A subcommittee of the Legis- lative Council will open one day hearing here Wednesday to have the benefit of local thinking on proposed merit and retirement systems for state employees and other subjects of legislation
 Members of the permanent in terim committee meeting here will include Senator Bill BeltZ, Unalakleet, president of the Sen ate; Senator Eben Hopson, Bar row, and Representative Axel Johnson, Kwiguk. Other members of the Legislature from this area have been invited to sit in with the subcommittee. The meeting will be held in the court room of the new federal building begin ming at 10 am.
 Bills on the merit and retire ment systems for state employees were introduced in the 1859 ses- sion and were referred for in terim study. The State Depart ment of Administration and the Legislative Council staff have been exploring some of the as poets of these bills preparatory to seeking public action to the gen eral proposals.
 The subcommittee is particu- larly desirous of having the views of local citizens and organizations on other matters which may be of concern to the Legislature. Those wishing to present lengthy and detailed statements are re- quested to make an oral summary of a written statement so that the remarks can be duplicated later for other members of the Council and Legislature.
 The Council members at the Nome subcommittee hearing will proceed on Thursday to Fairbanks where the fall meeting of the full Council is scheduled for Novem- Der 20 and 21. They will be ac- companied by John c. Doyle, Juneau, executive director of the Council, who has been attending all subcommittee meetings.

Western COP Challenged to Lead 1900 Victory Fight
By MoRRIE LANDSBERG

LOS ANGELES, R The COPS national chairman threw down an indirect challenge to. western Republicans last night at the opening of four-day meet ing pointed at victory in 1860.
 Sen. Thurston Morton R-Ky) de- clared 'There is a definite re- surgence of Republican strength in the western states"
 The party chairman told dele gates from Is states, including Hawaii and Alaska:
 You have a good chance of electing more senators and Con- gressmen.
 ''It's important for Republicans to go out and work to recapture governorships the party has lost in recent years"
 Morton cautioned COP workers to beware of what he termed phony Democratic charges that the Eisenhower Administration has made an orphan of the West on critical issues of reclamation, power and natural resources de- velopment.
 ''The truth is," he said, "that there has been more solid prog ress in each of these fields under this administration than during any other comparable period"
 Other advice came from Sen ator Barry Goldwater of Arizona, chairman of the Republican Sem atorial Campaign Committee, in speech today.
 'If the Republican Party is to lead this nation forward to a restoration of freedom, we must be ourselves.
 "We must reassert that it is not only impossible to out-prom- ise the big giveaways of the wei fare staters, but morally wrong and destructive of freedom"

HAVANA, tR u Looking grim and haggard, Prime Minister Fidel Castro told the Cuban people early today that his revolution faces difficult days.
 Castro took only sideswipe at thes United States usually his favorite target - but 1ashed out in a three-hour telecast at his enemies at home and called them ''hypocrites who once posed as friends of the revolution"
 He predicted that the revolu tion would march on even if it's enemies ''try to mobilize God against us."
 ''This won't york; Castro said, 'rbecause, one cannot have a good idea of God if he doesn't have a notion Of what it is to love his neighbor"
 Obviously yearly from his hours of directing the search for Major Camilo Cienfuegos, his missing army chief, Castro showed only occasional flashes of his usual fire and spirit. At times, his customarily free-flowing ora tory lapsed as if he was grasping for a word. Bags under his eyes were clearly visible.
 He rejected the U. s. contention that there was no evidence U. s. based aircraft bombed and strafed Havana in a leaflet raid over the capitol October 21. Castro reiter- ated his charge that Major Pedro Diaz Lang, former commander of the revolutionary Air Force who defected, was responsible for the raid. He claimed again that

Herter Assures India The United States
 Feels Reds Are Wholly In The Wrong

But 35 minutes later he issued a formal statement saying:
 "The questions asked me on this subject seemed to me di- rected at the legal rights along the borders, and my answers ac- cordingly related only to the le- gality of the rival claims. There is the further and more important point that, whatever may be the merits of a dispute, force must not be used to settle it. The Chi nese Communist regime has clear ly used force and, in this respect, is wholly in the wrong"
 In taking this position, Herter put the United States more in line with Indian Prime Minister Nehru's policy which calls for settlement by negotiation and condemns the use of force
 At issue is 57,0OO square miles of territory which has long been in controversy as to its real own ership although for many years it has been under Indian admins tratiOn.

WASHINGTON, REThe United States swiftly assured India of it's moral backing today in border dispute with Red China India says the Chinese forcibly seized some of her territory.
 Secretary of State Herter, who first told a news conference this country was taking no sides, later issued a statement saying the Red Chinese, in using force, were wholly in the wrong"
 President Eisenhower is sched- uled to go to New Delhi on a goodwill mission within a month. Officials were afraid that unless Herter's remarks were clarified, resentment against the United States might sour the Presidents visit.
 Replying to news conference questions, Herter said the United States has no way of knowing di- rectly whether India or Red China is right in the disputed territorial claims, and has taken no sides on the issue.
