During February, Americans

Country, and Abraham Lincoln,
who did SO much TO preserve our
Union. Their lives and their ac-
complishments rightfully are a
continuing source of inspiration
for all Americans. and 1t is most
fitting that during this month we
pay tribute to their memory and
that of other great Americans TO

lion dollars worth of United
States-owned property in Cuba.
Washington has reacted
slowly. It repeatedly denied
Mr.. Castro's charges, protested
his growing involvement with
the Reds, withdrew economic
aid, and finally ended United
States purchases Of Cuban
sugar and banned shipment Of
American goods to Cuba.
The American Embassy staff
had been kept on in Havana
to hold open a channel Of COM
munication with the Castro re-
gime. to report to Washington
on Cuban developments and to
grant visas to Cubans wanting
to come to the United States.
United States officials be-
'lieve Mr.. Castro was angered
by the United States, reporting
and by the heavy flight Of
Cubans to Yankeeland.
The United States Embassy
had been granting about 1900
visas a month. The waiting
list Of. Cubans seeking to leave
for America extended into 1862
at the time of the break. About
$4,000 were said to have appli-
cations on file. Suspension of
the visa service yesterday
caused hysteria among several
hundred Cubans waiting at the
Embassy.
United States authorities
were considering q means of
treating future Cuban arrivals
in this country as refugees,
processing them for temporary
admission after they get here.

ocrat of Alabama, chairman of
/ the House Foreign Affairs
Subcommittee on Latin Amer
