News Summary
Continued from page II

FIDEL CASTRO is beginning
to be embarrassed by the fact
that no country has yet attempted
an invasion of Cuba. For months
the Castro regime has whipped
up the fears of the Cuban people
that a U. S. invasion was imrni-
nent. Some say this has been
done to distract the Cubans from
thinking of the hardships i'm
posed by the new regime. Others
say it is a cover for spreading
Castro's revolution into other
Latin American countries. The
regime now has more men under
arms than did both sides during
the Cuban revolution which over
threw Batista and brought Castro
to power.

Gates Testifies

Military leaders are studying
the possibility of equipping
land bases in Europe with
Polaris missiles, says Secretary
Of Defense Gates.
The solid-fuel Polaris is de-
signed for firing from sub
marines and wih have a range
of about 1900 miles.
Mr.. Gates was questioned
about the .Polaris yesterday
when he testified at a combined
public hearing of the Senate
Space Committee and the SEN
ate Defense Preparedness SUBJ
committee.
Senator Jackson, Democrat
Of Washington, later told q
newsman he believed the Polaris
could be used from the bases
now being readied in Great
Britain and other countries for
the Thor and Jupiter, Ameri-
can hquid-fuel missiles.
Mr.. Gates again said more
tests will have to be made on
nuclear-powered Polaris SUBJ
marines before a decision is
made on whether to ask for
funds to build more of them.
Decision for President
Senator johnson of Texas
chairman of both Senate
groups, said that in the past
Congress had voted additional
funds for defense only to have
the money frozen by the execu-
tive branch or used for other
purposes.
Senator johnson asked Mr.
Gates if he would use the extra
funds should they be voted by
Congress.
THAT is always a question
for the President to decide, /"
Mr.. Gates said. He added he
believed the President would
agree to any recommendation
he and the Joint Chiefs Of
staff made.

strength is adequate. He re.

candidates want it to appear
that way"
Senator Proxmire, in a speech
prepared for delivery in the
Senate, said Senator Humphrey
of Minnesota, who is opposing
Senator Kennedy in the Wis
consin primary, is more likely
to be helped than hurt by any
prediction from the Democratic
chairman.
II have found that no out
side person ever successfully
tells the people of Wisconsin
for whom to vote" Senator
ProXmire said. Il have also
found that Wisconsin voters
admire and support a candi-
date who is waging an uphill
fight against odds. Humphrey
should not regard any predic-
ton that Butler may have
made that he is behind as
hurtful. I think it will help
him"
Praises Gallant Fight"
The Wisconsin Senator
praised Mr.. Butler for his gall
liant fight for the platform and
principles of the Democratic
Party" The Senator added:
an my judgment Paul But
Ter is'one Of the best chairmen
the Democratic Party has ever
had. No chairman in my mem
ory has more consistently or
eloquently fought for the plat
form of our party than has
Butler.
Butler has been under at
tack for a long time because
he has violated the old chest
nut that the party chairman
has one job and only one Job
Ito keep peace in the family.
In my book it is far more i'm
portant that a party chairman
slam some backbone and moral
strength into the family than
harmony and peace.
Butler has repeatedly done
this. In doing so he has pre-
dictably made enemies, but if
he should resign it would be an
enfeebling blow to our party.
A Butler resignation under fire
would mean that the party
would be losing some of the
fight, the fire. the zest, the zeal,
that has made our party worth
belonging to-"
Mr.. Butler said in New York
yesterday he has no intention
of resigning.

johnson of Texas, who is ex-
pected to be the favorite Of

I believe they would rather

Sam Goldwyn, the movie

his statement Include me out.
That may have been a fine
statement for the entertain

Humphrey Discounts "Blitz"
Senator Humphrey predicted
meanwhile that results of the
Wisconsin primary will halt the
psychological blitz' he said
Senator Kennedy is trying to
engineer.
Although Senator Humphrey
accused Mr.. Butler of aiding

Minnesota Senator indicated he
will pursue no further his con-
tention that Mr.. Butler has out
