You Cause Alarm

The pronouncementS you
made in your last statement to
the press must plunge the en-
tire world into great alarm,
For you simply claim, in fact,
some right of yours to employ
military force when you find II
necessary, and to suppress
other peoples each time you
decide that their expression OF
will constitutes Communism. "
But what right have you, what
right has anyone in general to
deprive a people of the posi-
bility of choosing their social
and political system Of their
own free will? Haven't you ever
thought that other countries,
too, might perhaps advance a
similar demand to you, what
they might declare that you, in
the United States. have a sys-
tenn which breeds wars, which
pursues the imperialiSt policy,
the policy of threats and at
tackS against other countries?
There. is every reasen for such
accusations. And, proceeding
from the principles you now
proclaim, one could apparently,
demand a change in the in
ternal system of the United
States.
We do not follow this road,
as you know. We are for the
peaceful coexistence Of all
states and noninteference in
the internal affairs Of other
countries.
You allude to Budapest. But
we can tell you openly, without
allusion: 1t is you, the United
States, that crushed the inde-
pendence of Guatemala by
sending your mercenaries there,
as you are now trying to do
with regard to Cuba. 1t is the
United States, and not any
other country, that still merci-
lessly exploits the countries Of
Latin America and many other
countries of the world, and
keeps them in economic bond
age. This is known to all. And
to follow your logic, Mr.. Presi-
dent, actions from without
could apparently be organized
against your coutry. too, to
put an end forever to this i'm
perialist policy, the policy Of
threats, the policy of suppress
sion of the freedom-loving
peoples.
AS for your concern for the
emigres expelled by the Cuban
people, I should like to add the
following. You are we'll aware,
of course, that there are emf
gres in many countries who
are dissatisfied with the Situ-
alton and the system existing
in the countries they fled from.
And if the abnormal practice
were introduced into the rela-
tions between states Of using
these emigres, especially arms
in hand, against the countries
they fled from, it can be openly
said that this would inevitably
lead to conflicts and wars.
Therefore, it would be well to
forebear from such unreason-
able actions. This Is a slippery
and dangerous road which can
lead the world to q new global
war. In your reply, you saw fit
to touch upon some questions
which are not related to the
subject Of my message to you,
including the question Of the
historic inevitability of a Com
munist revolution. which you
interpret in your own way.

! MOSCOW, April % (AP).
The teri, as distributed by
the Soviet netDS agency TGSS,
OF Premier KHushcheD's
3 reply today to d message
from President Kennedy on
the Cuban crisis:
Mr.. President,
I have received your reply Of
April 10. You write that the
United States does not intend
to commit a military interven-
ton against Cuba, But nu-
merous facts known to the
whole world-and to the gov
ernment of the United States,
of course, better than anybody
elSe-speak differently. For all
denials, it has now been proved
beyond doubt that it was pre-
cisely the United States that
prepared the intervention, fl
nanced the invasion and trans
ported the gangs Of mercenaries
which invaded the. territory of
Cuba. H.lt
United States armed forces
also took a direct part in the
realization of the gangster
attack on Cuba. American
bombers and fighters supported
the operations Of mercenarieS
who landed on Cuban territory
and took part in military opera
tionS against the armed forces
of the lawful government and
the people of Cuba.
Such are the facts. They
speak of direct United States
participation in the armed ag-
greSsion against Cuba.
In your message you took the
road of justifying, and even
lauding. the attack on Cuba,

Opening lead: Diamond ten.
West opened the ten Of dia-
monds, and South chortled in
his face. Still chortling, South
cashed all four Of his top dia-
monds.
Then South went after the
clubs, knocking out East's ace.
What's wrong with q little

ask. Only that West had the
chance to discard the deuce
Of spades on the fourth
diamond. Only that and Moth
ing more.
Word to Wise
A word to the wise, accord
ing to the old saw, Is enough.
The deuce of spades passed
the word that West would not
welcome q shift to spades.
Hence East led the jack Of
hearts when he gained the
lead with the ace Of clubs.
End of chortling. The defend
ers took four heart tricks, de-
feating the contract.
Now see what would happen
If South played the hand prop
erly. South should win the
first trick with the jack Of
diamonds and lead clubs at
once.
What should East return?
Diamonds is 3 possibility, for
conceivably West has led from
A-Q-10-9-8.
If East rules out q diamond
return, how does he choose be-
tween spades and hearts? He
has at least an even chance
to guess wrong If left to his
own devices. He has no chance
Of guessing wrong II West Is
given the chance to discard q

the provisions Of the Case bill
called it an attempt to abol-
ish competition through legis-
lation.
Argument in Three Clauses
The main argument centered
on three provisions of the Case
bill. These would abolish
multi-Stock associations, bar
investments in second mort
cages and sharply restrict
give-aways to attract deposi-
tors.
]. Calvin Carney, an attor-
ney for several associations
and Q member Of the Case
Commission, said that lack Of
regulations has spawned the
multi = stock companies in
Maryland.
Multi-stock associations are
those in which the voting stock
is held by a small group Of
investors rather than the de-
positors and borrowers. Most
Maryland associations are mu-
tual companies which have
only one type Of stock, that
owned by the depositors and
borrowers.
Similarities Seen
Mr.. Carney said that some
Of the new associations are
buying up old charters and
claiming to have been In busi-
ness many years and are using
promotional gimmicks to at
tract depositors. He said many
Of the charters Of the associa-
tionS were drawn by the same
lawyers, have the same resi-
dent agent and have many Or
ganizers from out Of State.
"As developed in Maryland,
there has been q gross misap-
plication Of the stock associa-
ton principle to gain control
Of associations" Mr.. Carney
said.
Thomas F. Dempsey, former
State Senator from Baltimore,
led the opposition to the Case
bill. He said he does not op-
pose regulation but that State
regulation should not be used
as a cloak to stifle competi-
ton"
He said that the people pro-
noting the bill are the ones
who fought regulations for 20
years. He said that now they
are afraid of competition from
the multi-stock companies.
Mr.. Dempsey said that the
big Federally chartered associa.
tions are 'in every instance
directed by q handful Of in.
diyiduals" and that the multi.
stock companies are more truly
representative of corporate

the commissioners had adopted

blasted the legislation as an

The bill-which has beer

Citations. 1t is the only State
without such regulations.

AS 1t now stands, the bill
carries only a one-one -hun-
dredth Of / per cent franchise
tax on deposits Of savings and
loan associations. This would
raise about $50, 900 q year and
Is designed only to make ad-
ministration Of the regulatory
measure self-sustaining.
Mr.. Lee said he will propose
keeping the one one hun
dredthS Of per cent tax on
the first 81 million Of deposits
but increase 1t to one-tenth oi
per cent for all over 81 mil
lion.
I'VE have been trying to get

sociations for years and / think
now is the time we can do 1t"

Mr.. Lee that the tax amend
ment might jeopardize the leg
islation, but the Montgomery
Delegate said he did not think
it would.
Mr.. Lee said the, money which
could be raised by the tax on
savings and loan deposits could
be used to offset some Of the
proposed expansion Of the sales
tax.
Gov. Tawes has recommended
dropping the starting point ot
the sales tax to 25 cents and
textending the tax to restau-
rant meals costing IS cents OF
more. Mr.. Lee said the 81 mil
lion which could be raised BY
