student groups which backed
him vociferously have begun
to turn against him, according
to reports reaching Washing
ton. This is attributed to
repressive measures he took at
Havana University.
Mr.. Castro appointed an
army officer, Maj. Rolando
Cubela, to head of the student
union there. The major rides
about in an automobile
equipped with two-way radio
and he and a chauffeur carry
sub-machine guns. The major
is pressing for construction of
a radio tranSmitter at the uni
versity so he can keep in touch
with the Cuban police and
armed forces in case Of an
emergency.
He has organized "goon"
squads to beat up and intimi-
date any student opposed to
the Castro regime and burns
student newspapers expressing
opposition.
These developments have
shocked Latin America since
the universities have for years
enjoyed autonomy. Neither
police, military personnel nor
anyone else could set foot on
university grounds without
permission from authorities.
The adverse reaction to-
Prime Minister Castro was so
extensive in Mexico that the
government there last week
forbade Cuban President Os-
Waldo DorticoS from visiting
the university campus.

Cuban Fisherman
Asks u. S. Asylum

MIAMI, Fla, June II (AP).-
A bearded Cuban fisherman
sought asylum in the United
States today. declaring his
town Of Caibarien has turned
against Fidel Castro "and is
in a mood to fight him"
The fisherman, 48-year-old
Francisco Hernandez, and two
companions arrived here this
week in a handmade, 25-foot

pelLg issued IN his name.
Havana is filled with rumors
Of impending changes in the
Cuban cabinet and armed es-
tablishment which would re-
place associates of Fidel Castro
with adherentS of Raul Castro
and Maj. Ernesto (Che) Cue
vara.
Raul is chief of the levolu-
tionary armed forces. Maj.
Guevara. head of the national
bank, is regarded as the
brains" of the Castro govern
ment. He openly espouses the
Communist cause.
Raul at Helm?
Some authorities here now
believe that if Fidel Castro is
eliminated, Maj. Guevara
would install Raul at the helm.
They doubt the younger Castro
could survive more than a few
weeks because he cannot hold
the people together. Their
estimate is that conditions in
Cuba would then become cha
otic.
In such a situation, they be-
lieve, either the Organization
of American States, or the
United States. would have to
intervene in the interest of
hemisphere security.
On the basis of past per-
formance, GAS probably could
not or would not act quickly
enough. That would leave the
job to this country alone.
Nothing could please Soviet
Russia more. Intervention by
the United States for what
ever reason would give Moscow
precisely what it wants-a
chance to accuse America of a
Hungary-in-reverse.
Some authorities here say
the Kremlin obviously is in
volved in the changing propa-
ganda line for Castro brothers.

Castro Threat
Hangs Over ;
Oil Companies

HAVANA, June IL (AP). -
Three oil companies - two
American and one Dutc h
British - faced an ultimatum
today from Fidel Castro to re-
fine Soviet crude in their Cuban
plants or suffer confiscation.
The bearded Prime Minister,
in a televiSion speech last night
which bristled with anti-Amer-
icanism, described as treason
their refusal to handle the oil
he is buying from the Soviet
Union with Cuban sugar.
Oil company executives here
had no immediate reply to the
Castro attack. in which he
accused ESQ Standard, Texaco
Inc, and the Shell Oil Co., OF
plotting with the United States
State Department to destroy
his revolution by leaving Cuba
without oil.
At stake is a $75 million in
veStment the three companies
have in their Cuban refineries
plus an estimated $50 million
in foreign exchange the Castro
government owes them fol
crude already imported anC
proceSSed.
May Go Slow
Natural petroleum experts
here said they believed Mr.
CaStro-despite his open threat
of conf1scation-would go slow
in taking over the Western
refineries.
Most Of the crude now pro-
cessed for Cuba comes from
Venezuela.
Mr.. Castro said he could buy
1t almost a dollar a barrel
cheaper from the Kremlin.
Mr.. Castro told the three
companies to "rectify their de-
cisions against processing the
Soviet OLD or face the con-
sequences"
The ultimatum followed al
most identical letters from the
three oil companies to the
Cuban National Bank, reject
ing the ALLEGATION of 300 900
tons of Soviet crude each this
year. The letters pointed out
that the firms had obligations
to thei traditional suppliers,
in this case Venezuela.
Diplomats said they saw in
Mr.. Castro's speech a deter
mination. to wipe out every
vestige of foreign ownership
here. OF nearly a billion dol
lars worth of American in
veStments in Cuba, a third is
under government con-
troll.
Most Violent Attack
Mr.. Castro. in a three-and-a-
half-hour speech which was
easily his most violent attack
yet o nthe United States:
l. Charged that the United
States committed an act of
espionage by permitting a naval
patrol plane to fly repeatedly
over the Soviet cargo ship Do
linsk a week ago 10 miles off
the north coast of Cuba.
2. Rejected as violent and
virulent two American pro-
tests against his government
and said Cuba would not an
Swer them.
3. Asserted the United States
connived to implicate his govv-
in an invasion of Mica
ragua. He said Cuban investi-.
CATION agents had uncovered
the plot in New York and lden-
titled its leader as Chester La
cayo, believed to be a Mica
raguan. He flourished before
the television cameras a tele-I
gram he said was sent to Mr..
Lacayo confirming an interview
with Secretary of State Chris
tian A. Herter.

Roberts Breaks
3-Yeur Secrecy
On Arm Trouble

LOS ANGELES, May 9 tAP).
Veteran Righthander Robin
Roberts of the Phillies, a Ma
tional League standout in past
years, has been pitching with
a sore shoulder for the last
four seasons but has kept it a
closely guarded secret.
The arm trouble developed in
1857, but Roberts always would
tell newsmen: Il feel great"
The trouble came to light
Saturday night when Roberts
asked to be taken out after the
fifth inning with the Dodgers
leading, 10.
A tie ANN tie remarked:
That took a lot of CUTS"
Roberts replied: It's not a
matter of CUTS. I'm just getting
some sense"
Generally, however, Roberts
insists his shoulder is feeling
better than any time since the
1886 season, when he won l9
| games.
"All I have to do now is get
some rhythm and some confld-
ence," he added.
