CIAsHid Invasion Plan

NEW YORK, April Is (AP)
The Central Intelligence
Agency kept the secret of the
Cuban invasion even from GER

Post said today in a Washing
ton dispatch.

The Post said that according
to information from exile
Cuban sources, the leaders oi

no opportunity to co-ordinate
with the Cuban underground.
The newspaper said this in
formation had been reluctantly
confirmed by administration

The article continued:
THE CIA held the six lead
ing members of the council
incommunicaeo near an aban-
doned airfield somewhere in
Florida while the invasion was
under way.

They were not permitted to

The Post continued:
THE story began on Sunday,
April is, when members of the
Revolutionary Council in New
York received word that they
should go to Philadelphia.
They were then flown from
Philadelphia to an abandoned
airbase somewhere in Florida.
They were quartered in an old,
rambling house in a deserted

posted outside.

"The reason for holding them
in this fashion was apparently
a desire on the part Of the
United States intelligence Off
cials to maintain tight security.
The Cuban exile leaders first
heard Of the invasion from
radio news bulletins on Mon
day. The timing of the opera
ton caught at least some of
them off guard. 1t provided no
opportunity to work out plans
with the underground inside
Cuba to set off sabotage and
diversionary incidents.
THE co-ordinator of the
Cuban underground had a few
days earlier journeyed from the
island to Miami in order to
make such plans. The inva-
sion caught him flatfooted and
as a result, there was no
sabotage or uprising. Some of
the Cuban exiles blame the CIA
for this failure. The CIA ex-
planation is that it did not en-
tirely trust the underground
and chose not to rely upon it..

sthat American planes buzzed

The United States spokesman
referred to a July, 1860, United

Soviet complaint of unwar-
ranted buzzing by United States
planes. The note said the
United States patrol planes
often try to identify ships not
previously identified, but never
approached closer than neces-
sary for Identification purposes.
The note also indicated that
the Soviet protests raised the

ships are engaged in activities
