30Novy Ships Believed
Within Cuban Vicinity

More than a dozen destroyers
have been operating out of the
Key West (FlaO naval base
during the last few weeks.
These include eight which have
been conducting "refresher"
training for regular crews and
four which have reservist crews
aboard for training. The ex-
planation given is that some of
this destroyer fleet represents
an increase which occurs each
spring as ships head down into
Caribbean waters for practice
in their specialized missions.
Previously, large numbers of
warshipS came into Guantan-
amo Bay to moor overnight or
over the week end.
In other years, two or three
big attack carriers. several
cruisers, a dozen destroyerS
and several submarines occa-
sionally could be seen riding
at anchor at the naval base.
However, as relations with
the Castro governm e n t
worsened, the Navy began
avoiding any heavy concentra-
ton Of warships in Guantan-
amo.
Part Of the reason was to
avoid giving substance to Mr..
Castro's periodic warnings that
an American attack on Cuba
was imminent. Partly, it rep
resented a distaste for pre-
senting a fat target in case of
sudden war, such as happened
to the fleet at Pearl Harbor
in World War II.

until the time he flew away
on a Soviet plane. He was to be
sure, called a bum" by the
manager of his hotel, the Shell
burne, and he reacted furious
ly. Mr.. CaStro'S answer was to
decamp to a hotel in Harlem
called the Theresa. There he
played host to Soviet Premier
KhruShchev at lunch the next
day.
In a week of Speechmaking
in the campaign, Mr.. Kennedy
did not roll up as much time
on the podium as Mr.. Castro
did on his one appearance be-
fore the U. N. General Assem-
bly,, where he recounted his
personal and national griev-
ances against the United
States for four and a half
hours, interrupted only twice
to be called to order.
Mr.. Castro has a musical
voice, speaks beautiful Spanish
and fancies himself as an
orator. Mr.. Kennedy is a
rather indifferent speaker.
Where Mr.. Kennedy is re-
served, Mr.. Castro is totally
uninhibited, the most unre-
strained Communist in the
world after the world leader,
oe-pounding Nikita Khru-
Shchev. He has enormous
vitality and drive and seems
unwearied by his orgies of self
expression.
He does not look like a Com
munist, if Gomulka. the austere
Polish Communist leader, is
taken as the standard. Mr.
Gomulka was viSibly fascinated
by this new member of the
satellite group. and when they
met in the U. N. lobby he
fingered Castro'S field jacket
curiously and asked him how
he liked his hotel.
Mr.. Castro has abused Mr.
Kennedy steadily. Mr.. Kennedy
has yet to call Mr.. Castro by
his first name, although his
attempt to overthrow him
could be construed as an ad-
verse comment.

but Mr.. Castro has since for
Saken his religion,
Although not a logical man,
Mr.. Castro was trained as a
lawyer. His career is that of
professional rebel. Mr.. Ken
nedy'S profession, vocation and
avocation is politics, a calling
which imposes a certain con-
formity.
Both were athletic in their
college days, and highly COM
petitive. Mr.. Castro told one
interviewer that he even played
ping-pong like a tiger; all the
Kennedys were brought up to
finish first.
Mr.. Castro is tall and beard
ed. Since his revolution sue
ceeded, he has grown paunchy
and pasty-faced. Mr.. Kennedy,
his senior by nine years, is lean
er, although he, too, has thick
ened since taking office.
Mr.. Castro's favorite costume
Is a field uniform with boots
and cap. Mr.. Kennedy is out
fitted by a London tailor.
/ It is in their manner of ex-
preston that the two men diff
fer most Strikingly. Mr.. Castro
is the great apostle of over
statement, whereas Kennedy
habitually underStateS. Mr..
Castro'S language is inflamma-
tory, Mr.. Kennedy's is drained
of emotion. Mr.. Castro seeks
hySteria from his audiences;
Mr.. Kennedy will settle for
agreement. Mr.. Castro aims at
the heart, Mr.. Kennedy at the
mind.
While last September Mr..
Kennedy was dashing around
the country dryly asking for
the help Of the electorate, Mr..
Castro, was careening around
New York raising cain as the
leader of his country's delega-
ton to the United Nations.
From the moment he ar

seems to be one of hiatus. The
Playa Larga adventure is over,
and no new one is Immediately
in sight. There is talk of weeks,
or perhaps even months, of
wound-licking before a new
push starts.
No one here seriously doubts
that the United States is now
dedicated to knocking off Mr..
Castro, but there is serious
question about the tactics and
the techniqueS to be used.

0bdI ESbdAA "AASSA
MIAMI, Fla, April ga
spokesman for the Cuban Rev.
olutionary Council said today
that the fight against Fidel
Castro's Communist-oriented
dictatorship will continue. But
how, when and under whose
auspices remained nclear.
The biggest question con-
cerned the future role of the
Central Intelligence Agency.
The super-secret CIA has been
professionally embarrassed by
the ill-timed, poorly prepared
attempt to overthrow Mr.. Cas-
tro. Rightly or wrongly, the
CIA is being given most Of the
blame here for pushing Cuban
rebel forces to a morale shatter-
ing defeat.
The agency's role in the Gu
ban affair has been a topic of
discussion here all week. CHA
agents were reputed to be be-
hind what President Kennedy
insisted was a matter between
CubanS.
One Cuban refugee here ex-
pressed shock over the CIA
role in the struggle. II cannot
conceive how a military opera
ton should have been run by a
spy organization" he said.
This was by no means the
prevailing view among anti
Castro Cubans, however. Most
of them just naturally assumed
that CIA money was behind
preparations for the anti-Cas-
tro battle. There has been some
surprise, however, over GAS
apparent control Of the whole
operation.
Invasion Force Small
A small force now estimated
at 200 to $50 men was put
ashore in the Sunday Monday
pre-dawn hours on a desterted
stretch of the south Cuban
coast called Playa Larga Oong
Beach,.
Castro forces overcame the
invaders in an area called La
Cienega de Zapata (Zapata
swamp. Exact casualties, while
not known, are said to have
been heavy on both sides. Mr.
Castro is reported to have been
there and may have become a
casualty himself when Bog
bombers dropped fragmenta-
ton bombs.
There was early confusion
about the size of the operation
Belief that it was a full-scale
invasion raised the hopes of an
estimated $4,000 Cuban exiles
who had settled in south Flor
ida. Rebel recruiting offices did
a heavy business as young men
volunteered for service and
were sent to "the camps
training sites in the Caribbean
area supposedly operated by
the CIA.
Though many people here
knew better, the Cuban refugee
colony had the idea that per.
hapS as many as 5000 men hac
landed at Playa Larga and were
enjoying artillery and tank sup.
port.
AS the week wore on and il
Evening star., 1961-04-23

became apparent that the strug-
gle was not going well, morale
among the Cubans plunged.
Probing Maneuver
From the outset the affair
was to be a probing maneuver
which would receive reinforce
ments and turn into an all-out
battle only if mass defectionS
from the Castro forces and
other surprise developments
left Hanava as an unmistakable
target Of opportunity. But this
understanding was not commu-
nicated to the Cubans here.
The assumed loss of 5000 men
shook the refugee population.
This number-5,000-was un-
derstood generally to be the
total strength of the entire
rebel armed force, including
men in training camps and on
their way from the recruiting
stations. Such a loss would
crush any hopes of an anti
Castro revolt for the foreseeable
future.
Kennedy Lifts Hopes
When President Kennedy
spoke to the newspaper editors
on Thursday, official and nom
official CubanS were elated.
They took his words to mean
that the fight would be ex-
panded promptly and in the
future would be prosecuted
openly with American assist
ance. Especially. they appre-
ciated his mention of the revo-
lutionary councils chief. DR..
Jose Miro Cardona. This, in
the Cuban rebel view, put the
American stamp of approval
on the Council and enhanced
its prestige.
BY the end of the week 1t
became clear that the United
States was not getting ready
for an immediate one-two
punch against Mr.. Castro.
American patience might not
be inexhauStible, as Mr.. Ken
nedy had said, but the point of
exhaustion had not come.

West didn't pay much at
tention to his opponents; he
had q sequence that he had
found in q book somewhere,
so he led the jack Of spades. !.
It was q friendly opening lead.
South won with the ace of
spades. led q club to the ace
and ruffed O club. He got
back to dummy with the king
Of spades and ruffed another
club with the seven of hearts.
This left South with the five
highest trumps in the COM
bined hands. He could safely
ruff spades in the dummy and
clubs in his own hand to win
the first 10 tricks.
Consider Bidding
Now go back to the bidding
and see what 1t tells you. To
begin with, nobody could make
q strong bid at any stage.
South probably needs luck to
make his contract.
The next point Is that after
North's first response neither
partner suggested no-trump.
Evidently each player thought
he had some distHibutional ad-
vantage for play in hearts.
The possibility of a cross
ruff should Immediately occur
to everybody at the table. Since
the best defense against q
crossruff Is to lead q trump,
West should open the deuce Of
hearts.
This limits dummy to one
spade ruff. II South tries to set
up dummy by ruffing clubs, he
runs out Of trumps and loses
control Of the hand. The trump
lead puts South on the skids,
exactly rs the bidding should
indicate to anybody who lis
tens carefully.

The idea Of financing con-

through the Ohio sales tax
stamps originated with Father
William Conces, st. Joseph
pastor. The project got under
way in 1852.
Under the sales tax stamp
plan-which was voted out of
existence only recently by the
state legislature-stamps were
given with each purchase
made in the state. The stamps
were redeemable by charitable
and religious groups, hence
spurred contributions by In
