Khrushchev Message
To Kennedy on Cuba

MOSCOW, April 18 (APJ.
The tert OF Soviet Premier
NikitG KhruShcheU'S message
to President Kennedy, as dis
tributed by the Soviet NeWs
Agency TGSS:
Mr.. President, I address this
message to you at an hour OF
anxiety fraught with danger
to world peace. An armed ag-
gression has begun against
Cuba. 1t is not a secret to
anyone that the armed bands
which invaded that country
had been trained, equipped and
armed in the United States OF
America. The planes which
bomb Cuban cities belong to
the United States of America
the bombs they drop have been
made available by the Ameri-
cap Government.
, Here in the Soviet Union all
this arouses a natural feeling
OF indignation on the part OF
the Soviet government and So
Wet people.
Once recently we exchanged
views through our representa-
tiveS. We spoke about the
common desire of both sides to
make joint efforts to improve
relations between our coun-
tries and avert the danger of
war.
Recent Kennedy Statement
Your statement of a few
days ago to the effect that the
United States would not take
part in military operations
against Cuba produced the i'm
preston that the top echelons
Of the United States are aware
OF the consequences of aggres-
sion against Cuba to world
peace and to the United States
itself.
How are we to understand
what is really being done by

MIAMI, Fla, April 18 (AP)
There is growing apprehen-
sion among informed persons
in Miami today that the rebel
strike against Fidel Castro S
Cuban regime may have been
premature and may lead to
disastrous consequences.
These informants say that
all the rebels claim about their
success may be true. But they
see little evidence to bear out
these claims, and they express
fear that the operations may
expose the Cuban underground
before it can act effectively.
From the few facts that are
known in a welter of extrava-
CANT rumors, the indications
are that whatever landings
we're made in Cuba were in
commando strength and not
in force. Rebel sources them
selves say their most important
contingents have not landed
anywhere in Cuba.
Red Leaders Silent
At the same time, however,
there is excited speculation
about the whereabouts of Fidel
himself and the big brass of
his regime. None of the top
leaders has been heard from in
person since Sunday and state
ments attributed to them have
been read in their names by
faceleSs Havana radio an
nouncers.
The lack of violent personal
statements from Prime Min
lister Castro, his brother Raul,
who commands the Cuban
armed forces; Ernesto CChe)
Guevara, the pro-Communist
power behind the scenes, and
the figurehead President, Os-
Waldo Dorticos. is strange for
group of leaders normally
given to loud boasting and
marathon orations.
Fidel is believed to have
been in the area south of
Jaguey Grande in MatanzaS
Province, where the rebels are
known to have made an attack
from the air, perhaps in an
effort to get Fidel out Of the
way quickly-perhaps even to
capture him.
