Cuban Rebel Survivors
Reported U. S. Coptives
By BEN PRICE
Associated Press staff Writer

There is to believe that the United States is
holding survivors of the Cuban invasion forces ncommu
nicado-prsoners if you will-on Caribbean island
And there is evidence that the United States troubles
with communism Central South America just
beginning.
The first about the United Staes-hed survivors

of the invasion. some G
whom repeatedly are wounded
reached the United States
naval base at Guantanamo Bay
soon after the military effort
collapsed.
The grapevine there is sc
efficient that reports of activi-
ties in Havana, 600 miles west
sometimes reach the base be-
fore they are broadcast by the
Castro regime.
Within hours after the
grapevine report reached the
base, the Castro captives from
the abortive invasion-who
were being interrogated in Ha-
vana- on televsion-began talk
ing of a particular island,
Vieques.
Trained at U. S. Base
They said they had been
trained for the invasion at the
United States Marine base at
Vieques, which is just a 30
minrfe helicopter ride from
San Juan, Puerto Rico.
While the rumor about the
Vieques prisoners was seeping
into Guantanamo: it was also
circulating in San Juan and
New York.
A Navy officer talked by
radio to the naval station at
San Juan, asking If newsmen
wanting to check on the rumors
could be admitted to Vieques.
The answer was that no one
would be admitted to the base
without special permission
from Washington.
On the assumption that
training bases are normally
open to visitors, efforts were
made to gain access to Vieques
through the Central Intelli-
gence Agency and the White
House.
The CIA was noncommittal.
A White House spokesman said
it would not assist in the mat
ter Of entry.
Doctor Held Captive
Presumably the United States
wants no one to talk to these
survivors until the furor over
the Cuban debacle-and the
C1A's role in it--has died down.
While the Vieques operation
was kept secret, the New York
Times has reported the story
Of DR.. Rodolfo Modal Tarafa,
27-year-old lawyer and member
Of the anti-Csatro invasion
forces.
DR.. Modal said he and is
other volunteers had been held
captive at gunpoint in Guate-
mala by CIA agents because
they refused to serve in the
invasion forces under a man
they described as a murderer in
the regime Of Dictator Fulgen-
cio Batista.
One consequence Of the inva-
sion flop apparently has been
q great upsurge in Communist
activities in Central and South
America.
