illustrates some of the many new
experiences open to girls in Girl
Scouting. Girls learn to take re-
Sponsibility for the handling
(and reporting) of their troop af-
fairs. They have a voice in the
kind of troop program they want.
Their leaders help them find ways
TO earn their own money for troop
activities, and help find adults
that can develop the expressed in

particularly fortunate to have the
specialized help of Mrs. B. H. Null

On January 6, the Navajo stu
dents of Haskell met with the
Navajo Tribal Council members:
Mr.. John M. Dee, Mr.. Allen Yaz-
zie, and Mr.. Samuel Billison. The
purpose of the cOuncilmen's trip
was to visit with the Navajo boys
and girls who are attending off
reservation schools and to serve
as tie between the parents and
students while the students are
away from home The council
men planned to visit the schools
in Kansas and Oklahoma.
Problems which arise between
students and staff were discussed
and we were encouraged to be
good citizens.
The problems arising from the
lack of education were discussed
and it was pointed out to us that
uneducated Navajos are having
difficulty obtaining and holding
jobs. We were encouraged to find
solutions to problems which affect
us and to remember the import
ance Of good study habits. We
must study in order to learn how
to make a living for ourselves.
Students, who are vel re ).
to their vacations are in demand.
Many jobs are becoming available

be a choice Of four flavorS:
Sandwich cremeS, Scot-teas. Saw

be delivered from April z to 18th
and will cost 50 cents per pack

portunity to sell cookies:

Chairman.
Girl Scout cookie sale income
goes exclusively for the develop
ment of the camping program.
Operating expenses are met by
the contributions from participat-
ing communities in the Chaparral
G. S. Council and by the Navajo
Tribe. Money from cookies, how
ever, provides camp equipment.
as well as for the development
and maintenance of camp proper
ties. It alse reduces the cost of
troop, day, and established camp
ing for the individual girl. The
more cookies sold, the better the
camping opportunities for every
girl. The goal this year is for
every CIR to sell "a packages of
cookies. Be a peach, buy one of

officers opposing his rule were
quietly removed from authority
The chief complaint about
that rule was its political
short-Sightedness. Former Of
ficers in the BatiSta army,
hated for their brutality, found
their way into positions OF
authority. Their military ex-
perience was considered more
important than their political
handicap.
When we arrived at the
camp, all those with previous
military experience were asked
to take one step forward" ex-
planned one returnee. "Natu-
rally the Batista soldiers
stepped out. That was it. From
then on they became our
officers"
The result was low morale
in the camps. The men felt
they were volunteers, not con-
scripts, and had a right to
oppose the politics Of officers
they had not chosen.

THE EXILES' STORY
Life Was Rugged
For Cuban Troinees

! again boarded trucks to dis
perse to camps in the noun
famous countryside.
One of these was one hour
from Retalhuleu 1000 feet high
in the mountains. 1t was
reached along a ragged country
path with sentries posted at
both ends. The living area
about 900 feet square was
perched on the side Of the hill,
with a cliff for one of its bor-
ders. Down the path past one
sentry was the firing range
with small hills for a backdrop.
Day After Invasion
On the day after the inva-
sion began a batch of about
$50 Cubans arrived at this
camp. They found it deserted,
save for 10 American and l8t
Cuban instructors, and about
20 Guatem alan civilian
employees.
The head of the camp at
that time was Martinez Ar
bona, an ex-army officer from
Cuba. At a general meeting he
told the newcomers they would
be given a short but intensive"
training course for seven days.
After that they would relieve
the Cuban bridgehead.
That promise was never kept,
although formal training be-
gan. American instructors,
some with nicknameS like
Sam" and Texas" and others
of foreign extraction taught
the CubanS to prepare explo-
sives, to give first aid. and to
assemble and shoot MI,
Browning and M-3 rifles.
The Cuban instructors Il
many Of them angry about
being left behind-taught mill
tary drill and translated in
structions for the Americans.
They Return
Living conditions were primi-
tive. There was one shower for
$50 men. They lived in rude |
shack barracks.
All heart went out Of the
intensive" training when news
arrived about the defeat Of the
invasion.
ARIZONA called a meeting and
explained they must continue
the struggle against commu-
nism." But he did not say how.
A deluge Of questions began.
Who was in command OF the
base? Where were representa-
tives of their Cuban Revolu-
tionary Council? When and !
how could they leave? The COM
gave no answers.
Participants say they well
understood his hands were tied.
1t was felt that while he could
not say who made the basic
decisions, he was only the
mouthpiece for several Ameri-
can civilians living apart In
the camp. Men in the ranks
had little direct contact with
them.
Two weeks after the new
contingent arrived the camp
was completely evacuated. The
men returned to Miami along
the same route they had come.
Back in the Frente recruiting
office any who asked for 1t
received $3.50 mastering out"
pay. The money. they said
later, was small recompense for
hopes and ideals shattered in
the camps Of Guatemala.
Up until late January the
head of the Frente recruiting
office had been Col. Martin
Elena. He also was supposed to
be chief Frente liaison with
the training camps. But he re-
signed in the beginning Of
February after being refused
admittance to the Guatemalan
camps.
Artime Coup Cited
His resignation coincided
with a minor coup d'etat" said
to be carried out by Capt.
Manuel Artime. one Of the
directors of the Frente. From

considered him the favored

neutrality laws. Elsewhere in
the hemisphere they violated
firm inter-American treaties
against intervention in internal
affairs of neighbors.
Little about their activity,
organization or location could
ever be officially confirmed,
This led to exaggerated claims
which only the invasion fiaSco
itself could explode.
One such claim was that up
wards Of 5000 men were being
trained in camps. But only
1.300-odd men were landed at
Cochinos Bay, and Cuban exile
leaders admit this was the bulk
of the rebel force.
Total Set at 1000
While it is doubtful that any
one Cuban knows the exact
total distributed through all
the camps. the maximum exile
estimate now is 1000. Over $50
were not included in the inva-
sion for political or military
reasons. The remainder either
could not or would not leave
their ships.
Another subject of rumor is
whether the CIA actually op-
Grated any military camps in
this country. The Cuban con-
senSuS is no. They claim that
any rebel group with money
including former followers of
ex dictator Batista was per-
mitted to organize its own
training camp in Florida and
later in Louisiana. The Ameri-
can-supervised camps. it is
generally agreed. numbered
about seven on the Pacific
coast of Guatemala.
The Training Story
In the weeks following the
invasion, recruits who did not
participate have trickled back
to Miami. Here is the story
they tell of their recruitment
and training:
Main recruiting offices were
in Miami. The largest and best
stated was that Of the Dem
ocratic Revolutionary Front.
the Frente.
Enlistment was relatively
simple. The recruit gave his
name in the office, had a phys
ical examination by a Cuban
doctor, and received cards en-
titling him to blood tests, K
rays and identity-ph photographs
from American authorities.
Next he went through a |
security check consisting of a |
QUESTIONABLE on political af-
filiations. In the later phases
Of the operation, this whole
process took about two days.
Before induction the recruit /
had to take an oath to defend
democracy.
Flown to Camps
From Miami the trainees
were taken by station wagon
in small groups to farms in |
the surrounding area to await
air transport to Guatemala.
When transport beca me |
available they were taken in
closed trucks to Opa Locka, an
inactive naval airbase near
Miami. The trucks were driven
directly into hangers, where
the Cubans boarded four
motored transports painted
black and white without mark
ings. The pilots were in civilian
dress and kept separate from
their Cuban passengers.
