added:
"The report of a planned in
vasion Of Cuba is completely
without foundation. This is
nothing more than cheap prop
aganda."
Mr.. Dorticos said the Cuban
people will defend themselves
to the last drop of blood
against military attack which
he said the United States was
ready to launch at any moment
to overthrow the Castro gov

Seeks Peaceful Solution
Mr.. Dorticos contended Cuba
has always been willing to look
for a peaceful solution" to ten

He accused the United States
Of maintaining a policy OF ag-
gression that went all the way

Morse Unit
Delays Cuba
Briefing

Senator Morse, Democrat of
Oregon, today postponed until
Monday a closed session of his
Foreign Relations Subcommit-
tee on American Republic At
fairs at which Undersecretary
Of State Chester Bowles was to
brief the subcommittee on the
Cuban situation.
Senator Morse said he re-
ceived word late yesterday from
Mr.. Bowles that several emer-
gencies had developed in the
State Department which would
make it very difficult if not i'm
possible" for him to attend.
The Oregon Senator also an
nounced that Allen Dulles, di-
rector of the Central Intelli-
gence Agency, has been asked
to attend the Monday meeting.
Senator Morse has been critical
Of the Kennedy administration
for supporting the abortiVe in

In Invasion

With the Cuban invasion
barely off the worlds front
pages, members of the Amer
ican Society of International
Law have invaded Washington
with a critical Prof. Quincy
Wright firing the first shots.
Professor emeritus of the
University Of Chicago, now pro-
feSSor Of international law at
the University of Virginia and
the author of a case-full of
books on law and peace, DR..
Wright believes the Cuban in
vasion was most unfortunate" I"
1t has lowered American es-
TEEN around the world, he said
in an interview.
Worse, he said, the action
violates a long string of inter-
American conventions to which
the United States has agreed.
These conventions prohibit
intervention in the internal af-
fairs Of another nation, he said.
Even propaganda against an
other government is forbidden,
he said.
"The United States has been
thoroughly committed to these
conventions" Prof. Wright
said.
He said the United States
should have tolerated the Cas-
tro government and waited for
increasing opposition to Castro

Prof. Wright, a consultant to
the State Department during

oftentimes when I am alone,
my grief is uncomfortable.

said that I am hard and cold

mother very much. Abby. this
is not true. I wish people
would understand that it is
possible to have very deep

this to. Just writing this

demonstrated here wasn't designed for COM
muters. Civilian use of the new invention
is strictly speculative at present. But the
belt, developed by Textron's Bell Aero
systems Co. of Buffalo for the Army, has
proved highly effective in short test flights.
Harold Graham, Bell test engineer who acts
the part of the commuter. has flown as high
as 80 feet and as far as 800 feet, at speeds
up to 30 mph.
The way a rocket belt works
The belts power is supplied by twin
jet, hydrogen peroxide propulsion system.
The belt, made of Fiberglas, fits around the
back and hips of the operator, who slips
his arms through padded rings, fastens two
quick-release safety belts and is ready to
blast off.
Metal control handles with motorcycle
type hand grips extend forward on each
side; by using one of them, Graham con-
trolls direction. The other enables him to
control climb and descent by increasing or
decreasing rocket thrust.
Though Bell Technical Director Wen
dell Moore stresses the rocket belts expert
mental status and military aim, he agrees
that future production of such one-man
flying suits for everybody is conceivable.
