1t is generally believed here
that Fidel Castro's hold on the
Cuban people. such as 1t is. is
personal one which could not
be passed on to his henchmen
were he to die or be kept out of
sight for a lengthy period.
Evidence Claimed
Positive evidence is behind
the rebels assertions, beyond
the mere fact that Castro has
not been seen publicly for a
week, their spokesman, Wendell
Rollason, declared.
Mr.. RollaSon said he was
positive Mr.. Castro had been
put out of action. more prob

physical basis, because of the

tion he is receiving" He dis

dictator had been killed. Mr..
Rollason describes himself as
director Of the Inter- American
Affairs Commission Of Miami.
Shortly after sun-up Monday,
there was a bombing at Laguna
del TeSoro, on the south shore
of Cuba about $50 miles from
Havana, where Mr.. Castro had
spent the week end fishing, the
rebels said.
The anti-Castro Democratic
Revolutionary Front"-popu-
larly called the "Frente"-
called newsmen to It's Miami
headquarters a few hours after
President Kennedy addressed
newspaper editors in Washing
ton yesterday.
The Cuban community here
registered elation over Mr..
Kennedy's blunt anti-Commu-
mist message, mixed with a
feeling Of letdown over the OBJ
viouS fact that phase one of
the Cuban fighting was over.
An official communique Of the
Frente hailed the Washington
declaration as containing
some of the most forceful
(words) ever delivered in de-
Tense of democratic freedom
fighters by a leader Of the
United States"
The Frente said Mr.. Ken
nedy's declaration proved that
interpretations of inter
vention are undergoing drastic
revision"
Exactly how much the Frente
here knew was placed in doubt
by two slips at the press con-
ference. Officials were asked
about the precise meaning of
one passage in President Ken
nedy'S talk. which concerned
an exchange between himself
and anti-Castro leader Jose
Miro Cardona.
The Chief Executive said:
No doubt that they and the
revolutionary council met by
DR.. Cardopa-and members of
the revolutionary council, am
informed by the doctor yester-
day. are involved themselves in
the island-will continue to
speak up"
The Frente was asked whether
this meant that DR.. Miro Car
dona had talked personally
with the President, or whether
the contact was through a
third party.
Information Dubious
The Frente spokesman said
that "a representative of the
Cuban revolutionary council
met with the President yester-
day" and that this representa-
tive was not DR.. Miro. At al
most the same instant in
Washington. White House Press
Secretary Pierre Salinger was
telling reporters that DR.. Miro
and his top associates had met
with the President at the
White House.
The Frente also said, 1T
would certainly be a likely as
sumption" that DR.. Miro was
now in Cuba. But last night
DR.. Miro turned up in New
York.
Yesterdays press conference
was called, the Frente said, to
clear up "misinterpretations"
Of the significance Of recent
developments in Cuba. The
crucial development was a
Castro government statement
that the rebel action had been
suppressed. This was not re-
futed in substance by the
