1872 judgment was granted to
Louis Berlanti of Berlanti Con-
Struction Co. in Delaware for
breach Of a house-huilding con-
tract with the Cuban govern
ment and seizure of equipment
and assets in Havana.
Judge Hal P. Dekle granted
"a $833,998 Judgment to Terry
Kane Of Miami, whose tractor
business was seized in Havana.
Mr.. Berlanti said his assets
were taken on April is, 1860,
and he was driven from
Cuba" Mr.. Kane said his
tractor and equipment agency
was seized at gunpoint on Oc-
tober "a, 1860.
The Czechoslovakian En-
bassy, representing Cuba, which
no longer has diplomatic ties
with the United States, argued
that the Cuban government
enjoys sovereign immunity.
Judge Dekle ruled that the
United States Government
must go along with the claim
OF sovereign immunity for him
to grant it. He also based his
ruling on the testimony of DR..
Elio Alvarez, a former Cuban
Supreme Court justice now in
exile.
Or. Alvarez said that redress
is impossible in Cuba and

The United States Court OF
Appeals today said it cannot
properly review a former

that he should be compensated
out of Cuban funds held by

from him by the Castro
regime.
The court in a 81 decision
made this determination in
considering a District Court
judges dismissal of Comdr.
Miguel Pons' claim Of $66, 500

In an opinion written by
Judge Henry w. Edgerton. the

a firm rule of law established
by the Supreme Court "that a

It's own territory cannot be re-
viewed in our courts"

to apply the Supreme Courts
rule" in the Pons case, Judge

For Action

Guatemala today denounced
the complete incorporation of
Cuba in the Soviet bloc"
It asked the Organization of
American States to take steps
to defend the hemisphere from
"the lethal danger of interna-
tional communism on our con-
tinent."
In a note presented to the
OAS Council, Guatemala did
not specify the type of action it
wants the OAS to undertake.
Senator Stephen M. Young,
Democrat of Ohio, meanwhile
urged President Kennedy to
send troops to Cuba to liberate
an Eastern Airlines plane if the
Castro government fails to
release it by dawn Of August /.
II hope not many Cubans,
not any. in fact, will lose their
lives" if troops at the United
States base at Guantanamo,
Cuba, get the word to move,
Senator Young told the Senate
in a speech.
He called the hijacking Of the
plane by a gunman Monday
mot an act of war, but an un-
forgivable act of piracy"
The Guatemalan note said
the Castro government has
completely prostituted" the
revolution which overthrew the
dictatorship of Fulgencio Ba-
tista, and has violated each
and every one of the principles"
in the OAS charter.
The strongly worded note de-
scribed Cuba as ian enemy of
the free world in general, and
of the American continent in
particular"
It listed a number of state
mentS made by Fidel Castro
and other high officials of the
Cuban government, citing par
ticularly Mr.. Castro'S state
ment yesterday that Cuba will
soon become a one-party state.
The note compared Mr.. Cas-

said the kind Of "self-determi-
nation" sought by the Castro
government is similar to the
