is comparable to the 1881 sold

market held at steady level
during March with a weakness on
fat cattle but the March 29th
sale saw fat cattle so to 75c high

Looking Ahead
Some strength in fat cattle has
been expected especially after
Easter and reduction in Unem-

craft had landed or departed
from this base since he be-
came its boss four months ago.
Asked if American radar
crews had discovered any signs
of high-performance aircraft
in the Cuba skies, the admiral
replied in the negative.
There have been reports
that the Cuban air force has
at least seven Soviet-built jet
fighters. But if there are any
MICS around, Admiral ODon-
nell said, they have not flown
over the eastern end of the
island.
Thousands of CubanS en-
ployed on the base-many for
as long as 20 years-reported
as usual yesterday morning
They live outside the base and
commute daily.
Castro militiamen searched
them thoroughly but allowed
them to enter as usual.
Fires flared in the hills to
the far north of the base last
night. They were believed to
have been set by Mr.. Castro's
militia to clear the woods

authorities, the leaders of the
attacks believed that their show
of determination to unseat the
Castro regime would cause
many of Cuban officials to de-
feet.
There was also a conviction
among the rebel leaders that
popular upriSings would tend To
separate the Cuban people from
the regime, therefore destroy
ing Castro's political face while
swelling the ranks of the rebel
forces.
No official in a position OF
authority today would say that
such developments were nc
longer possible. There was still
hope that a wave of powerful
popular opposition to Castro
might arise. But its absence at
thsi point was not encouraging
Although detailed informa-
ton was lacking, one explana-
ton offered in authoritative
quarters was that Castro forces
may have organized military
control of the country so tightly
that no uprising could gain mo-
mentum.
United States officials are
aware that the Cuban opera
Evening star., 1961-04-19

ton has put this country in ar
extremely difficult position
whatever the final outcome
These are the reasons for that
conclusion:
l. Despite firm denials OF
United States involv e m e n t
many people abroad are con-
Vinced the United States is be-
hind the Cuban invasion and
that its prestige is committed
to the success of that invasion
If the operation cOllapseS
United States prestige is bound
TO suffer.
2. There has been a strong re-
Surgence of anti American
propaganda to the effect that
the drive to unseat the Castro
regime represents a rightwing
counter-revolution. If the drive
to overthrow him is successful
the Communists are certain tC
brand the United States as ar
imperial colossus which crushed
the leftist revolution in a small
neighbor land. So far no one
here has figured out how tc
meet such a propaganda assault
effectively.
3. In United States Soviet re-
Evening star., 1961-04-19

lations the parallel development
of the crises in Cuba and in
Laos must be regarded as con-
Stituting a test in Soviet eyes
of the strength and determina-
ton of the new Kennedy ad-
ministration. If the President
fails to use the force necessary
to gain his objectives in either
place Premier KhruShchev may
figure that the new admins
tration is afraid to back it's
words with deeds.
Mr.. Kennedy has not COM
mitted himself to use force in
Cuba. He has created the i'm
preston in the world, however.
