Uruguay Rejects Demand
The Uruguayan government
rejected a demand by the So
Wet Ambassador in Montevideo
that Uruguay condemn the
United States for so-called "ag-
greSsion" in Cuba. The ruling
council met in special session
and said the U. N. is competent
to handle the Cuban situation.
The Indian Express, a lead
ing newspaper chain, said in

was tightening his hold over
the populace to the point
where no uprising would be
possible. that arms from the
Soviet bloc including prospec-
tive jet fighters would make
him much stronger against
outside attack. that Guate-
mala had ordered Castro in
vaSion preparations off its
soil, and that the strike should
be undertaken before heavy
rains set in in May.
What happened came as a
shock to high Washington Of
ficials and showed up serious
faults in the intelligence esti-
mates on which the go-ahead
decision had been based.
Castro, even without Jet
MICS, was far stronger than
had been supposed.
The hoped-for defections
among the Cuban population
failed to take place.
About 1900 men were said to
have engaged in the abortive
landing on the Cuban coats
southeast of Havana. They were
never able to get a strong
enough hold to let the Cuban
population think they might
have a chance of overthrow
ing Castro.
Not Efficient Organizers
There is a suspicion that the
Castro forces may have known
in advance of the time and
place of the rebel landing. Some
reports said Castro's Soviet

placed there awaiting the in

two biggest nations have joined

The leaders ended a two-day
conference here by issuing four
documents: A declaration of

stand against Communist pen

the convention on friendship
and permanent consultation;
and two declarations dealing
with economic and cultural
matters.
Laud Kennedy Program
Meeting in this Southern
Brazilian port across the
uruguay River from Argen-

Frondizi were full of praise
for President Kennedy's Latin
American program.

contained in the spirit of the
Bogota Charter, have just re-
ceived their most valuable sup
port in the program of alliance
for progress proposed by the
President of the United States

mentioned communism by

nations against alien inter-
ference in the Hemisphere-an
indirect reference to the revolt
torn affairs in Cuba.
The declaration said Brazil
and Argentina adhere to "the
institutions of representative
democracy" 1t affirmed their
joint stand in "repelling the
direct or indirect interference
of extra continental factors" in
the Western Hemisphere.
Wording Agreed On
Mr.. Quadros repeatedly
wanted to make the communi-
que read extra continental
and continental" and to use
the word aggression" instead
of interference" But informed
sources said Mr.. Frondizi per-
suaded him to the wording as
finally drafted.
Brazilian Foreign Minister
Alfonso Arinhos said later Mr..
QuadroS' views coincided with
Mr.. Kennedy's on matters of
hemisphere self-determination
and nonintervention.

was no external intervention"

7 AP Writers

NEW YORK. April % CAP) .
Inquiries by telephone from
New York to the Havana Bu-
reau Of the Associated Press
brought a reply last night that
two American AP correspond
ents had been arrested during
the evening. The two are Har-
old K. Milks, Chief Of AP
Caribbean services, and Robert
Berrellez.
The Havana informant, iden-
titled as a Cuban member of
the AP staff, said the two had
been out gathering news and
pictures.
When they turned up at the
bureau in hopes of getting
their pictures and stories out
by wire and radio, they were
arrested, he said. Both had
been reported previously -
without official confirmation
as having been arrested and
freed by the Castro regime.
Meanwhile. United Press In
ternational said Henry Ray
mont, correspondent in Ha-
vana, was arrested April II and
has been under detention since.
Another UPI correspondent,
Martin HouSeman, was arrest
ed April 10, UPI reported.
This was the second consecu-
tive night of built-up hope that
United States correspondents
would be heard from directly.
On both nights there were
hints that the general com
munications blackout on United
States correspondents would be
lifted. Expectations quickened
last night in the belief that the
blackout would be lifted when
Cuban TV made its invasion
propaganda broadcast.
But that broadcast passed
and there was no immediate
lifting of the communications
embargo.

spondents presumably are ham

tanned by Castro authorities, as

An anti-Castro radio broad
cast from an island off Central
America today told two rebel
"bsttalions" apparently fight
ing on Cuban soil that help
was on the way and urged them
not to surrender.
The appeal from Swan Island
was made a few hours after
the Castro government put be-
fore Havana television cam
eraS some prisoners captured
after last week-end's invasion.
One admitted their mission
failed and said not many rebels
had escaped. Others said prop
aganda from Swan Island and
North America had misled
them.
Instructions Transmitted
The Swan Island broadcast,
monitored by the Associated
Press in Miami, also repeated
troop movement instructions it
had sent out during the night.
1t had told earlier of new
small landings made in Cuba,
but no other source confirmed
this. Some rebel sources in
Miami did say, however, that
between 500 and 1900 guer-
rillas were headed for Cuka for
a new invasion assault.
A dispatch from Havana de-
scribed the Cuban capital as a
city of fear and suspicion. 1t
said new wave of arrests and
detentionS reached into almost
every family. Suspects jammed
swollen jails and living condi-
tions were described as growing
worse.
The execution Of an alleged
arsonist in Camaguey was an
nounced by radio in Havana
today. He was identified as Ra-
fael 1glesias Romero.
The New York Times quoted
a diplomatic source in Wash
ington as saying Mai. Ernesto
(Che) Guevara, a top Castro
aide, was seriously wounded in
the head earlier this week. The
Times said the information
reached Washington from a
diplomatic source in Havana.
The diplomatic source said a
neuro-surgeon was sent to a
provincial hospital where Mai.
Guevara allegedly was taken.
Maj. Guevara. 80, is Cuba's
economic czar.
The government radio net
work said Prime Minister Fidel
Castro, unseen in public for
almost a week, was personally
directing mop-up operations in
the interior against the Surviv-
ing rebel invaders who are try
ing to overthrow his pro-Com-
munist regime.
Bitterness Reported
Associated Press Correspond
ent Benz Price reported from
Cuba that an underground
source there complained bit
terly over what he saw as the
reasons for the failure of last
week ends invasion attempt.
The source said the rebels
neglected to seize radio sta
tionS for rallying the masses
and did not furnish themselves
with proper aerial support.

against the Castro regime con-
tinued throughout the world.
