1.-TWO small noise bombs went
Off while Mr.. Castro spoke. The
second brought him to his
Angriest pitch. Shouts Of pare

went up from the audience.
Don't worry. Don't worry
Mr.. Castro admonished the
crowd. "Those bombs are not
set OF by peasants. by the
humble. They are set off by
those who kneel before foreign
interests, by those who would
like to see bloodshed in the
country"
10 Explosions Counted
Despite heavy police concen-
trations around the university,
two bombs also went off nearby
while Mr.. Castro was waiting
to speak.
Altogether 10 explosions were
counted throughout the city
and its suburbs as Castro oppo-

bombing since Mr.. Castro
gained power almost two years
ago. Sporadic bombings have
become an almost nightly &C.
