Tells OAR Anti-Costro Policy Needed
BY AMELIA YOUNG
Star Staff Writer

Senator Barry. Goldwater
of AriZona-unaware of the
invasion of Cuba that took
place yesterday morning
last night called upon the
United States to declare its
intention of eliminating the
Fidel Castro regime.
The speech was prepared
over the week end for the
opening session of the 10th
Continental Congress of the
Daughters of the American
Revolution.
Before delivering 1t last
night, the Senator told his
audience, 81 haven't been
able to keep up with the news
today, so maybe what I'm
going to say needn't be said.
But 1 worked a long time on
the speech and you're stuck
with it."
The legislator explained he
had been in Omaha, Nebr.,
all day with his Air Reserve
squadron and had landed in
Washington only an hour
and As minutes before. That
gave him just time enough
to go home, change his
clothes and get to ConStitu-
ton Hall for the program.
CHe had not been in touch
with his office at all during
the day.
He then proceeded to
charge the Government with
IAN astounding timidity and
indeciSion" in the face of
Cuban developments. a blind
and unrealiStic acceptance of
'non-interventioniSm for the
mere sake of theory"
He said the United States
should take the following
four steps toward ousting
Prime Minister Castro:
/. Make it adequately and
absolutely clear, in the most
explicit terms, that Com
munist governments will not
be tolerated in the Western
Hemisphere-and that the
Castro regime, being such a
government, will be elimi-
mated.
2. Use our position Of i'm
portance to the economic and
political we'll being of other
American Republics to draw
their support.
3. Impose a complete eco
nomic embargo against Cuba
and support it, I hope with
the acquieScence Of our mill
tary neighbors," by a military
blockade if necessary.
4. Aid those loyal Cubans
who would free their native
land"
The declaration of inten-
ton, he said, would serve
notice to the world that we
reserve the right to inter-
fere GamaglationS where world
fl -ollI, our own security
and the welfare of our
neighbors are directly con-
cerned-rather than entrust
these concerns solely to the
judgment of Others"
Informed of the invasion
after he'd finished his
speech, the Republican SEN
ator quickly altered his po-
sition. "Of course" he said,
Il would much rather have
. the Cubans do it overthrow
the present regime)."
His first reaction to the
news was, Il have a strong
hunch we have been help
ing" but later he said, I'VE
had given (the anti-Castro
forces no encouragement at
all, and that's why the
speech was written as it
was"
