arson. bombings and shootings.
Since April S, saboteurS and
anti Castro terrorists have
struck hard six different times
in widely scattered parts Of the
island, causing losses conServa-
lively estimated at $40 million.
These acts Of terrorism, to-
gether with outbreaks Of rebel
violence from one end Of the
island to the other, seem to
support the contention Of for
eign observers and anti Castro
Cubans here that the present
opposition to Mr.. Castro out
weighs by far that which con-
fronted deposed Dictator Full
gencio Batista on the eve Of
his flight January /, 1859.
Economic Losses Seen
These opposition blows have
been admitted recently by the
government:

would seek IAN end to the OBJ
Solete, economically unsound,

from which so much Of our
members insecurity stems"
The hourly wage, he added,
was born in the social jungle
Of the first industrial revolu-
ton and has no place in the
last half of the goth century"
Questions Company Logic
Mr.. Reuther said the union
would ask the companies how
they "can claim to be unable
to keep our members on the
payroll full-time during reces-
sions when they manage to do
exactly that for their salaried
workers who account for a
growing proportion of their
total payroll COSTS"
In outlining what he felt
should be the UAW's goals in
the coming negotiations, Mr..
Reuther did not go into details
on specific proposals.
He has told his aides, how
ever. that the unions bargain
ing demands will have to be
shaped with prevailing eco
nomic conditions in mind.
These conditions include the
current high unemployment
and slow car sales.
Negotiations between tn e
union and Ford, General Mo-
tors and Chrysler are expected
to start about so days prior to
the August 81 expiration of the
unions contracts with the three

CUBA
Heavy Losses Seen
In Wake of Attacks

the first wave of fear swept the
city when the munitions dumps
went up.
The fate of q half dozen
newly arrived Russian AN-2
transport planes being as
sembled at Libertad could not
be learned Immediately. They
made prime targets for the at
tackers, which made repeated
passes almost into the mouths
Of anti-aircraft guns.
An hour after the attack,
Soviet Ambassador Sergei M.
KudriavtSev, was seen hur-
riedly leaving his official resi-
dence in a Cuban military car,
accompanied by two Cuban
uniformed officers. His destina-
ton could not be learned.
There was no doubt about the
damage incurred by CaStro's
air force. 1t appeared most of
his light bomber squadron was
gone and thousands of dollars
worth of ammunition imported
from Russia and Czechoslovakia
was destroyed.
Official Defects
Cuban officials said the
whereabouts of the Cuban air
force chief, Commandante Ser
gio Delvalle, was unknown dur
ing the raids.
But United States immigra-
ton officials in Miami said the
air force deputy chief, CUTLER
mo Verdaguer, landed a Gu
bana Arlines cargo plane at
Jacksonville, Fla, yesterday
and asked for asylum. Mr..
Verdaguer. also Mr.. Castro's
private pilot, was accompanied
by his brother, air force Mai.
Roberto Verdaguer.
The bullet-riddled B-26 land
ed in Miami today was flown
by a young air force lieutenant.
He brought the two-engine air
craft in with one propeller
feathered. Its bomb racks were
empty.
The other B-26, landed at
Boca Chica Naval Air Station
in Key West, was manned by
two Cuban air force men.

the B-26 bombers dropped
strings of bombs.
Mr.. CaStro's militiam m n
fought back with Czech anti
aircraft guns lining Camp Lii
bertad and the submachine
guns they carry strapped
across their backs.
Despite the heavy anti-air-
craft fire, the attacking pilots
pressed home their attacks,
criss-croSSing the field until
the munitions dumps were in
flames and the ammunition
trailers blasted skyward.
One Plane Reported Down
The government claimed
militiamen scored hits on at
least one of the marauders and
that there were surprisingly
few casualties on the ground.
Some Cubans reported seeing
one Of the attacking planes
crash into the sea in flames off
Santa Fe, west of Havana.
The Armed Forces Ministry
boasted: I'VE swept the air
clean of the enemy"
simultaneously with the
Havana attack, airplanes firing
rockets and dropping bombs
swooped down on the airport
in Santiago, Cuba's second
largest city 460 miles east of
Havana, and air force head
quarters at San Antonio de los
Banos.
Details of these two attacks
were sketchy, but official
sources said three planes, in
cluding at least one jet, at
tackled the Santiago field. The
jet exploded in the air, these
informants said.
After the bombers roared
over Havana and out to sea,
Mr.. Castro took to the nation
wide radio network to denounce
what he called the American
directed attack. He ordered
that 100000 civilians-men and
women who are members Of the
militia and civil guards-take
up arms.
Acting Foreign Minister Car
los Olivares summoned foreign
diplomats in Havana and read
MIR. Castro's statement, then
laShed at United States "at-
tackS on Cuba" in a bitter
speech.
Mr.. Olivares said he had
proof" that the United States
Government financed and di-
rected" the air attacks.
He displayed rocket frag-
ments which he identified as
Made in the U.S.A." and said
they were picked up at Camp
Libertad.
Diplomats said later Mr.. Oil
wares charges "fell pretty fiat
in the face Of growing evidence
the attacks actually were made
by detecting Cuban airmen."
They noted much Of the
Cuban air forces equipment
was purchased from the United
States before Mr.. Castro took
power and, even, for a while
afterward.
Havana QuietS Down
The Cuban people outside
Havana didn't hear about the
attack on Camp Libertad until
three hours after it was over.

the hour. was unveiled today
by Walter P. Reuther, United
Auto Workers president, in his
first public indication of what
he will seek in this summers
negotiations with the "big
three" auto companies.
Mr.. Reuther referred only in
general terms to a pay increase.
He outlined a seven-point
program which stressed meas
ures to minimize the effects of
layoffS, automation, plant shut
downs and plant relocations.
In calling for yearly salaries
for production workers, the
JAW chief termed payment on
an hourly basis morally in
defensible discriminat tion
against those who work with
their hands"
AS predicted by observers,
Mr.. Reuther accented fringe
benefits and job security in his
list Of bargaining goals with
the big three-Ford, General
Motors and Chrysler.
Requests Follow Pattern
There was no mention of
profit-sharing or a shorter
work week, two major demands
set forth by Mr.. Reuther be-
fore negotiations on present
three-year contracts opened in
March. 1858. Neither demand
lived long in actual bargaining.
With the exception of the
salary item, the list of bar
gaining goals paralleled closely
those on which actual negoti-
ating took place in 1858.
Mr.. Reuther's statement ap-
peared in the JAWS weekly
newspaper, Solidarity. An in
PRODUCTION said it dealt with
the basic economic and con-
tract problems" the union will
consider at its special collec-
tive bargaining convention
April 27-29. in Detroit.
In addition to pay on a SAL
ary basis. Mr.. Reuther said the
JAW would seek:
l. Cooperation of manage
ment in seeking Government
action to solve problems Of
workers which should prop
erly be dealt with by Govern
ment rather than through COL
lective bargaining"
2. Further improvements in
the supplemental unemploy-
ment benefits (SUB) plan
which first was negotiated in
1855 and improved upon in
the 1858 contracts.
8. Payment by the auto
companies Of the full cost Of
hospital = surgical medical in
Surance for employees.
4. Use Of pension funds for
investment in housing and
community facilities "in the
interests Of the workers to
whom the funds belong"
5. improvements "in our
wage formula" to assure Clos
ing the gap between rapidly
growing productive power and
tagging purchasing power :"
6. Better working conditions
and Strengthening of con-
tractual projections to assure
the human use of human
beings"
Mr.. Reuther underScored
what he termed the overriding
need for greater job security
and dependable income by
saying:
when a worker is replaced
by a machine, or his skill is
made obsolete, or his plant
moves. the change may benefit
society as a whole and his en-
ployer in particular, but that
worker is in trouble.
1--WE shall insist that they
(the auto companies) recog-
nize that industry exists to
serve man and not man to
serve industry"

New Engines Quieter
The so-called fan engines on
the newer transports report
edly are quieter than the big
ger DC-7s and Consultations
in use at National today. There
is also the argument that the
jets get out of there" faster,
thus leaving noise at any one
point for less time.
AS for increasing traffic, jets
conceivably could bring a re-
duction because they get their
work done faster and haul
more passengers more often.
Best example of this is
Friendship airport, where
plane movements fell last
month. but passenger counts
increased.
For handling increasing pas
senger volume, National is
building a large addition to the
north baggage facilities which
will move luggage directly

Blame u. ).

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
April IS (AP).-Cuban Foreign
Minister Raul Roa charged here
today that the United States
engineered bomb attacks on
Cuban air bases as a prelude
to a large-scale invasion.
He described the attacks as
"vandalistic aggression" and
IAN act of imperialistic piracy"
United States Chief Delegate
Adlai E. Stevenson categorical
ly denied Mr.. Roa's charge in
the U. N. General Assembly's
Political Committee that United
States bombers made the dawn
raids today.
He recalled that President
Kennedy had pledged recently
that United States armed forces
would never intevene in Cuba.
But Mr.. Roa said Mr.. Ken
nedy'S statement was just "a
smokeScreen hung before and
intended to cloak the invasion
of my country that is intended
to take place at any time"
ZOrin Not Satisfied
Soviet Deputy Foreign Min
lister Valerian A. Zorin said Mr..
Stevenson's statement did not
satisfy him. He told the 99-na-
ton committee:
with one single word from
the United States, not one plane
would have bombed Cuba. The
fact was that this word was
never spoken"
In Washington, the White
House said it is trying to de-
termine what the situation in
Cuba is" in regard to bomb
ing and rocket attacks on
Havana and Santiago.
But so far President Ken
nedy knows only what the
news wire services have re-
ported, Press Secretary Pierre
Salinger told reporters.
I'VE are naturally interest
ed in what is going on in a
country only 80 miles off our
shores" Mr.. Salinger said.
1--WE are trying to learn more
through other channels"
Hurried Trip to U. N.
An aide to Mr.. Roa said the
foreign minister came to U. N.
headquarters today especially
to denounce the attacks. Later
Mr.. Roa was consulting with
his staff outside the Assembly
hall when he was summoned
to the Delegates lounge to
take a call from President
Osvaldo Dorticos in Havana.
Il have just talked with the
President of the republic" Mr..
Roa said to a reporter after
ward. HE told me there were
eight dead and many hurt
civilians, in Havana.
Mr.. Roa said he would press
to have the Political Commit
tee open debate Monday on
the Cuban complaint, hanging
fire since it was filed last
October 18, and would bring
today's incidents into his pres
entation.

BY JOSEPH YOUNG
Star staff Writer

Word from Capitol Hill is
that some Government employe
bills are definitely in trouble.
In this category are the 30
year retirement bill and the
hberaliZed postal employe Ion
gevity pay measure.
The stepped-up military pro-
gram and additional large ex-
penditureS asked by President
Kennedy has lot to do with it.
The feeling on Capitol Hill is
that non-essential measures
which involve expenditures
Should be scrapped or delayed.
The postal pay longevity bill
would cost $50 million, the
administration estimates, al
though its sponsors say the cost
would be $45 million.
Regarding the bill to allow
retirement on full annuities
after 80 years service at age 55,
the cost is not too much by
present Government spending
standards - about ST million.
But there seems to be a grow
ing feeling among some men,
bers of Congress that in these
critical times, the Government
should not be in the position of
encouraging some of it's most
experienced employees to retire
Rather, they feel, employees
should stay on the job as long
as they can.
This doesn't necessarily mean
that these bills do not have a
chance of passage this year
But it means that Government
and postal employees groups
have their job cut out for them
In trying to persuade Congress
to okay these bills.

tional mile. The fare for each
additional passenger will re-
main at go cents. At present
the rate for one passenger is

quarters of mile and 10 cents
for each quarter-mile there
after.
A company spokesman said
the fare from the Hotel Statler
to the airport now runs about
So. depending on traffic con-
ditions. The new fare should
add 10 cents to that.
Fare Will Be Jumped
For limousine passengers, the
fare for each will be jumped
from $1.20 to $1.35 for the first
zone, which includes the Stat
Ter. The second zone will
advance from $1.60 to $1.75,
third from $1.85 to $2.05 and
the fourth and fifth zones from
$2.25 to $2.55.
The new fares will represent
.axevision from a schedule the
commission had ordered earlier
this month. This would have
dropped the fare for extra cab
passengers from 60 to 10 cents,
and would have cost limousine
riders 10 to Is cents more than
the now agreed-upon rates.
