anniversary celebration May %
in New York's Central Park.
A $4,000 fund has been set
up to bring her and her hus-
band here.
Word of the little girls iden-
tity first came from Mrs.
Mercy'S father, after the So
ciety placed advertisements in
French newspapers, and asked
foreign service officials in Paris
to help in the search.
Il am very touched that the
Americans have remained so
attached to the souvenir of my
little village in the Ardennes, Z"
said Mrs. Mercy, the former
Isabelle Docq. She has been
married about II years.

Two members of President
Kennedy's Cabinet said today
the country seems to be pulling
out of a current recession but
both emphasized that this re-
covery leaves no room for COM
placency.
Secretary of CONNIE &C e
Hodges and Secretary of Labor
Goldberg expressed their views
in addresses prepared for de-
livery before a luncheon meet
ing of the American Society of
Newspaper Editors in the final
day of the organizations three
day convention at the Statler-
Hilton Hotel.
Secretary Hodges said that
while the economic signs are

She remembers. 1t was long
ago. The Germans were
retreating. She ran down
the steps of the church and
gave the American soldier a
sack of candy. She was
just a tiny girl then. But
she remembers.
And so do the veterans of
World War rs 307th Infantry
Regiment, who have been look
ing for her and want to see
her. They hadn't even known
her name before.
But yesterday, in France,
Mrs. Isabelle Mercy, now 40,
acknowledged that she was the
object of their search.
Il am very proud and very
happy" she said.

billing as best suited to the
battlefield of the atomic era.
That's where it got its name
"pent" for the five main units

is no name yet for the new type
division.
Actually. the Army appears
to be returning to something
not unlike the triangular divi-
sion structure of World War II
"a structure that was junked
in 1856 on grounds it wasn't
adapted to the nuclear age
battlefield. The triangular Gi-
vision was based on three in
fantry regiments.
Present Setup Unwieldy
There were signs that in
practice it may have been
found that the pentomic di-
vision had too many subordi-
nate commanders to deal with
and that this made the Or
ganiZation unwieldy.
In addition to the five main
infantry battle groups. the

Cuba Parades
Rebels on TV
Prisoners Tell
OF Being MisIed

KEY WEST. Fla, April %
AP).-Prisoners taken during
this weeks ill-fated Cuban in
vasion said they had been mis-
led by propaganda from Radio
Swan and by rebel broadcastS
from North America.
A dozen men, including the
son of the Cuban revolutionary
chief in exile, were questioned
on a television marathon that
ended early today in Havana.
At the end of the 6l2 hour
show, seen in Key West-only
80 miles away-it was an
nounced that these were the
first II to be interrogated, in
dicating there may be more
such programs.
The show also was on radio,
with every station in Cuba
hooked up.
Jose Miro Torres, whose IA
ther, Jose Miro Cardona, is
president of the Revolutionary
Council, told questioners the
excursion was a complete fail
ure. He said he was radio op-
orator with the insurgent force
The prisoners generally re-
sponded affirmatively to lead
ing questions about such mat
ters as United States COM
plicity in the invasion. Many
said American propaganda"
about miserable conditions in
Cuba had led them to join the
rebels but that they found
conditions in Cuba excellent.
One Is NOnco- Operative
Not so cooperative with the
panel of Cuban newsmen was
the owner of 750 appropriated
acres of land in Eastern Cuba.
He said he returned to Cuba
seeking to restore free enter
prise and free elections.
One prisoner said he left
Cuba on January %, 1859,
with IL others on a boat. This
was less than month after
Fidel Castro took over. The
prisoner said he was taken to
Vieques, an island off Puerto
Rico, then to Puerto Rico and
finally to New Orleans. Later
he stayed at a base in Lou
isiana for II days.
He was trained as a frog
man, the prisoner said, and his
mission was to mark one of
the beaches for the invaders.
A prisoner named Juan, who
said he was a 28-year army
man and had served under
Dictator Fulgencio Batista,
said he was recruited in Miami
this month and left Opa-
Locka Airfield on the outskirts
of that city on a seven-hour
flight.
Juan said he landed at Retail
