Threat of Firing Squads Await Anti Castro Invaders

KEY WEST, Fla. tR - A threat of firing squads hung today over hundreds of anti-Castro invaders and others rounded up as "counter revolutionaries" during the ill-fated invasion of Cuba.
 "Counter revolutionaries must be shot," Fidel Castro announced in his first public appearance in Cuba for a week. "We have to act with hard hands. Don't let the terrorists entertain dreams that they can act with impunity while they persist in these plans. Let them not ask for clemency."
 A Cuban audience watching the m h n television-radio broadcast Sunday night in Ha- vana cried "to the wall!'
 Castro spoke four hours and 23 minutes, vilifying the U. s. ad- ministration, President Kennedy personally, the Central Intelli- gence Agency and the U. s. way of life.
 He compared Kennedy to Adolf Hitler, called him an "internation- al bully" and his administration thugs" who threaten the world with war.
 What Castro had to say about the captured rebels - he said there are 458 of them and others of the thousands rounded up in Cuba on charges of dis loyalty to the Communications mated regime sent chill through the Cuban community in exile in Florida.
 There was hint that Castro might spare some from the firing squads. He implied clemency would depend on a pledge from the United States to end any at- tempt to oust Communism from Cuba.
