interest to the American gov
ernments.
The f1areup between the Am
baSsadors at the Pan-American
Union also came less than l8
hours after the State Depart
ment released a 78-page docu-
ment detailing the pro-Com-
muniSt activities of the Castro
government. This document,
called a memorandum, was
prepared for information of the
1nter-American Peace Commit
tee, which will report to the
Foreign Ministers.
Ambassador Lechuga referred
to Soviet Premier Nikita Khru-
shchev's threat to launch rock
cts against the United States in
the event of American inter-
vention in Cuba.
"Solid Guarantee"
The declaration of Mr..
Khrushchev." he said, far
from being interpreted as
threat to Latin American Soli-
darity or a potential aggres-
sion against the supposed In
,ter-American System, comes to
be a solid guarantee that the
military and economic superb
ority of the United States can
not continue to be used, as in
the past, to weaken or elimi-
nate the sovereignty of a
country in America, to impose
policies and economies con-
trary to our interests. to sup
port the penetration of mo-
nopolisms, to perpetuate the
poverty of our people.
Cuba received this statement
of Mr.. Khrushchev> as an ex-
preston Of international con-
duct based on respect for the
rights of all peoples-small and
'large-to exercise their own
independent destiny" the Gu
ban Ambassador added.
The State Department men,
orandum - bluntest statement
yet in troubled United States
Cuban relations-obServeS:
Not only is Cuba under its
revolutionary government being
transformed rapidly into a
dictatorial political state. but a
state in which the reins of poll
tical control are increasingly
being concentrated in the hands
Of the Communist Party"
Grave Danger Seen
But the "gravest danger to
the security of the Americas"
it adds, is to be found in the
developing military relations
between Cuba and the Soviet
Union"
1t charges also a military
build-up in Cuba. with the pur-
chase from European coun-
tries" of 1900 machine guns,
$4,000 rifles, 200 mortarS. how
itzers and flame throwers; Is
tanks and so million rounds of
ammunition.
The note appeared to be a
move by the United States to
gain support among the other
American states for forming a
united front to deal with devel-
oping Red threats against the
hemisphere.
The United States asserted
in the lengthy memorandum
filed with the committee last
Tuesday and made public to-
day that Western Hemisphere
tensions have increased within
the last year partly because
the Cuban revolutionary gov
ernment entered into a close
relationship with Soviet Rus
sia, Red China and other ma
tions in the Communist bloc.

Nations military power "is

Sized Termed Marginal

Army, convention delegates
pointed out. is equipped with
World War II basic weapons
Most of the wonder" weap-
ons that the Army shows reg
ularly and triumphantly to the
public have never gotten into
the hands of the troops.
Secretary Brucker, who has
the reputation of being q
staunch supporter of the ad-
ministration defense budget
said the present size of the
Army is marginal to execute
the vital global responsibilities
assigned to it-responsibilities
which are increasing rather
than diminishing"
The Army's authorize d
strength is $4,000 men. Mr.
Brucker did not say how many
more he wanted. The Secretary
called for more airlift capacity
for his limited-war troops,
enough to move two equipped
divisions anywhere in a little
more than a month. Present
capacity is secret but the airlift
expected to be available to the
Army in time of emergency is
a small fraction of the amount
required.
Missile Need Cited
Mr.. Brucker also pointed out
that the only possible defense
in sight against ICBM attack
the Nike-Zeus anti-missile mis-
Sile, is not being produced.

Statements of Soviet Rus
sian and Communist Chinese
leaders" the State Department
document adds, indicate that
the Sino-Soviet powers are at
tempting to use the Cuban
revolution as an instrument of
foreign policy with the objec-
tiveS OF increasing world ten
sions, undermining hemisphere
solidarity and carrying forward
their aggressive attacks against
the free world and especially
the United States"
The United States told the
peace committee it applauded
the stated objectives of the
Cuban revolutionary govern
ment when it rose to power
January l. 1859. 1t said the
people of this country not only
were impressed. with the valor
of the revolutionaries. but with
the lofty aims" professed by
the 26th of July movement led
by Mr.. Castro.
Quick Recognition Cited
The almost immediate rec
ognition granted to the new
government made evident the
sincere effort of the other gov
ernments in the hemisphere to
give 1t all friendly support, "
the memorandum stated.
Many of the pronounce
ments and official acts by lead
ers of the 26th of July move
ment gave hope that Cuba
would assume the position of
a leader in the common strug-
gle Of the people of America
for freedom and representative
democracy and for the eco
uomic and social reforms nee
essary to build a better human
life.
"Dr. Castro was acclaimed
as a new figure on the Amer
lean scene who was genuinely
interested in the welfare of his
people. who was dedicated to
a program of democracy and
economic betterment and who
would seek ways of strengthen
ing the bonds of hemisphere
solidarity by giving renewed
vigor to principles and objec-
tives which underlay tn e
inter-American system.
Formulas Typical"
Unfortunately the opposite
had taken place with reference
to the political structure being
erected in Cuba by the gov
ernment. Instead of building
upon the basic elements of a
democratic system as set forth
in the Declaration of Santiago,

PHOENIX news

BY JOHN HANCOCK

Last week the major news
paper i'm the Harvey area came
out with an editorial ON the
Phoenix Annexations, that re-
minded the people of Harvey
that the Annexation Proposal
by the South section of the
village of Phoenix was the same
one as presented in 1866. The
editorial invited the City Coun-
ell to use as much space in
that newspaper to show any ad-
vantages the city would gain,
If any, if the South section of
Phoenix were annexed to- Har-
vey. The space was offered
free, and the editorial implied
that if there were no political
motives, then the Council had
nothing to hide, and besides the
people should know

opposing these annexation pro-
posals, and more so since the
village officials are secretly ad-
vocating that the balance of
Phoenix petition Harvey for
annexation. The Joint Council
has worked to keep the people
informed bp releasing news and
interviews with newspaper re-
porters, letters to churches and
personal contact. But we also
know that whatever effort is
made to contact people there
are also some who will never
be reached.

Polish vote in the South .PhOe-
nix area his dreams may be
realized. We of the Joint Coun-
Gil can see no reason why the
people of Phoenix should be
used to forward the political
ambitions of anyone, especially
if it means splitting our village
This political implication, along
with with discrimination are
major reasons for these an
nexation attempts. Everything
is based upon the fact that the
majority of the village voters
may one day control the Village
Board of Trustees, and the
South area of Phoenix, now

On Prestige

If religion was one issue both
candidates would happily bury,
the matter of the prestige of the
United States abroad was not.
Last week, it was a case of
prestige, prestige, prestige. Mr..
Kennedy was hammering away at
his theme that the world is think
ing less and less of the United
States as the No. l power and
MIR. Nixon was bravely contending
that our face to the world has
been undamaged but that Mr..
Kennedy was doing his1best to
damage it with his downgrading
remarks.
On Thursday, newspapers pub
lished copy of an alleged secret
United States Information Agency
survey showing that both the
United States and the Soviet Union
had suffered major losses in gen.
eral standing with the British and
French public as a result of the
collapse of the May summit con-
ference.
The White House declined to
release either this report or other

and Mr.. Kennedy appeared to
have won point. But President

A Serious Threat

Last week Gen. de Gaulle was in
obvious trouble, for the first really
serious time since he assumed
power. Rallying around his former
deputy and close aide Jacques Sou
stelle, fervent algeria is French"
rightist ousted from the de Gaulle
government a year ago, and around
the former commandant in Algeria,
Gen. Salan, also removed from his
post for open resistance to the
Presidents policies, the rightists
gathered to topple the general
from his top spot.
And on the other side Of the
political spectrum, the leftists and
liberals who have had enough Of
the bloody. costly. and to them
anachroniStic Algerian war began
openly and even violently to chal-
lenge the de Gaulle policies. The
result was bloody riot. on Thurs
day, in Paris that sent more than
100 to hospitals and at least SGT
to jail. There were demonstrators
also in Caen, Brest, Toulon, Lyon
and other French cities.
In Tunis, Tunisia, where the
Provisional Government Of the
Algerian Republic operates its
regime-in-exile, Premier Ferhat
Abbas last week told the world
that his government. by necessity,
was welcoming Communist sup
port. The United States particu-
larly, he declared, was willing,
along with other Western nations,
to abandon Algeria to French
colonialism.

policy toward Fidel Castro and
Cuba. The Vice President was
given an opening by Mr.. Kennedy
for q sharp attack when the
Democrat recommended that we
aid the anti-Castro forces here
and In Cuba.
The suggestion was widely re-
garded as q call for Intervention
in the island. Mr.. Kennedy quickly
backed of. but the Vice President
is not letting him of the hook.
He has hammered home the idea
that the youthful looking BoS-
tonian has shown himself to be
"shockingly irresponsible" q man
willing to risk q war with the
Soviet Union and the loss Of our
Latin American friends.
Another argument-really q
tempest in a teapot-concerning
Quemoy and MatSu heated UP to q
white pitch. This Nixon Kennedy
clash grew out Of their fourth
debate on October 81.
At that time. the Senator looked
squarely at Mr.. Nixon as 70 million
Americans watched on TV and
said:
Il challenge you tonight to deny
that the administration has sent
at least several missions to per-
suade Chang Kai-shek (Chinese
Nationalist leader to withdraw
from these islands"
Evening star., 1960-10-30
Technically Correct

Mr.. Nixon did not get a chance
that night to deny 1t, but last
Tuesday he fired back in a speech
in Cincinnati.
Senator Kennedy challenged
me to deny this and I do fatty.
categorically and emphatically
deny it," he said. mot only were
there not several missions for such
a purpose-there was no such
mission at all"
Mr.. Nixon was technically cor
rect. But his response, in view of
the record, was hardly laudable if
the edification of the voter was
part Of his purpose. Mr.. Kennedy
made a slip in the heat Of debate
and Mr.. Nixon, instead Of helping
to clarity, confused further an
already confused issue for, at best,
a temporary partisan advantage.
In the third debate, held on
October 13, Mr.. Kennedy said this
of Quemoy and Matsu:
I'VE have attempted to persuade
Chang Kai-shek as late as Janu-.
ary of 1859 to reduce the number
Of troops he has on there"
Mr.. Nixon agreed that the
administration had in the past
attempted to convince the Nation
alists they should pull back some
Of their troops in order to defend
better the island Of Formosa.
There were too many infantry
