Those who oppose foreign

ance should know that the
Communists do not-that their
aid to less developed countries
is sharply rising-that they
have already sent some 5000

without subjecting the recipi-

Even in our own hemisphere,
Communist bloc aid is dangled
before the eyes of those who
have long been devoted to free

to their poverty.
In short. there is no point in
speaking out against the spread

willing to recognize which
weapons are most needed in
that struggle. There is no point
in calling for vigorous action
to protect our security if we
are unwilling to pay the price

are necessary to maintain that

he came to listen, not talk.

also came to pick up the list
of prisoners the negotiating

New Angles Found
The committee had dis
patched the four technical ex-
perts to Havana in response to
Mr.. Castro'S off-hand offer on
May II to trade 1900 prisoners
for 500 bulldozerS. During two
days of negotiations-including
five hours with Mr.. Castro
the American negotiators dis
covered the offer had more
sides than anticipated.
Mr.. Castro said he would
accept 1000 tractors half as
large as the bulldozerS. but
amounting to the same cost of
$28 million. If the committee
should now stick to its original
intention of sending small
general-purpose tractors for
agricultural use, estimates are
that they would have to send
400 to 5000 tractors instead
.bf the 500 planned.
While raising the price, the
Cuban Premier also lowered
the number of captives he
would trade for machinery. In
stead of the 1,214 mentioned
originally, the total is now
1,l67. Several more might be
traded for political prisoners"

HAVANA, June 10 (AP).- -
Fidel Castro says he defeated
the Cuban invasion through the
strength of his revolutionary
movement and mistakes Of the
invaders.
The Cuban Prime Minister
gave his sum-up of the abortive
Apdil 1913 invasion in drama
tic fashion yesterday, standing
at the high water mark the
invaders reached before they
met disaster.
He spoke to newsmen and
photographers, including eight
Americans. during a day-long
tour which he personally led
through 800 miles of Cuba. He
showed the foreign newsmen
both. the economic projec c S
which he toutS as the backbone
Of his revolution, and the in
vasion scene in a swampy sec
ton of Southwestern Cuba.
This was the first on-the-
spot inspection Of the invasion
site by any Americans. The
newsmen also interviewed pris-
oners from the invasion.
Points Out Bomb Crater
The two invasion beaches,
Playa Largo and Playa Giron,
showed few after-effects. At
Giron Mr.. Castro pointed out
a crater which he said was
caused by a 500-pound bomb
from an invading airplane.
Two beach-type cottages
showed heavy damage. A num-
ber of other buildings in the
area still had bullet marks. Mr..
Castro said many buildings had
been repaired. Workmen were.
on the job.
A B-26 bomber lay wrecked
and burned at an air strip near
Giron. Mr.. CaStra said the
American-built World War II
model plane had been shot
down. The tWo-engined bomber
bore markings of the Cuban
invasion force. Rockets from
the plane were of United States
manufacture.
Mr.. Castro gave his analysis
of the campaign at Papite, a
roadside village 3 miles from
Largo Beach. While other
points of invasion penetration
went farther inland, Cuban
officials said this was the clos
est to Havana reached by
ground forces.
Cites Regiments Strength
Dressed in his familiar green
field uniform, Mr.. Castro said
this was why he won:
THE government had more
strength and anti-aircraft force.
... They (the invadersl under
estimated the force of the revo-
luton. They lacked co-ordina-
ton. Their plan was bad :"
The Castro. army also made
some mistakes, he said. He fig
ured some of his 80-pluS killed
about the same number of
deaths as suffered by the in
vaders-WaS due to having too
many vehicles strung along the
highway where they could be
strafed by attacking aircraft.
The invaders numbered a re-
ported 1900, of which about
l,200 are now captives. A few
escaped. Mr.. Castro did not
specify the size of his larger
defending force. 49,
He said that if it were not
for mistakes made by the in
vasion force of anti Castro ex-
lies, his troops would have had
a much tougher time.
Had Advance Notice
In his criticism, Mr.. Castro
said the attackers made one
error in dropping 1870 para
chutists 5 miles inland from
Largo. He said these troops
would have done a lot more
damage 80 to 40 miles inland.
He also said the invaders gave
him 48 hours advance notice
by their bombing of Havana
the week end preceding the
landing, that they took too long
to get their men ashore when
their boats got to the beaches,
and that they lacked co-ordi-
nation and proper use of their
weapons for the job they had
tackled.
