have been arrested in the wake
of a campaign of repression
which appears to 60 deeper
than those of the worst days
of the Communist campaign
in Europe.
The Castro revolution, en-
couraged by its military and
political successes, has reached
the stage Of brutal staggering
with the Cuban dictator and
his supporters openly lashing
out at their enemies at home
and abroad and challenging
the United States to do any
thing about it.
1t appeared to meas it did
to many others watching the
Communist sweep over Cuba
that at times Fidel Castro had
lost control of his own revo-
luton.
LOOtinE Described
One Of his proudest boasts
had been the honesty of his
regime. Yet his ca and militia
raiding parties in their round
up of Americans and Cubans
after the invasion attempt at
times seemed more interested
in looting than in finding evil
dence Of counter-revolutionary
or other wrongdoing.
I know firsthand OF several
cases in which the Castro Off
cials searching through homes
and offices of those they ar
rested-or in my case tried to
arrest-ignored important pa
pers or documents in their at
times frantic search for money,
jewelry. cameras, radios and
other private property which
had nothing to do with pro-
tecting the revolution.
At the Associated Press bu-
reau in Havana, armed militia
men who took over after I es-
capped found a deep freeze

My own apartment in an ad-

possessions my wife and had

military agent who staged a

Church Is Target
The office of one newspaper
correspondent was swept clean
of all equipment including an
electric typewriter, tape re-
corders and radios, by agents
who showed GO identity cards.
Yet when the owner complained
to the Castro government, the

ing Americans left Cuba yes
terday with the firm conviction
that if Fidel Castro'S Commu'
mist regime remains long ir
power all Latin America viii
be lost eventually to the Soviet
bloc.
I found wide disagreement
among both Americans ano
Cubans over how best to dea,
with the menace of a Cuban
dictator whose rule has become
a reign of outright terror. But
there was no argument among
them over the threat his con-
tinued leadership in Cuba
poses to the whole Western
Hemisphere.
The invasion fiasco Of mid
April has left Fidel Castro un-
disputed ruler of Cuba's G
million people. His opposition
which two months ago threat
ened to develop into a poten-
TALLY dangerous enemy. has
been shattered and disheart-
ened. And his followers are
boasting openly that the Com
munist revolution in Cuba to-
day will be a Communist wave
over the rest of Latin America
tomorrow.
Castro on Rampage
Diplomats in close contact
with the Castro regime since
its inception said in Havana
this week they believed only
outside forces could possibly
swerve Mr.. Castro from his
program Of turning his once
happy island into a Commu-
mist stronghold more bitterly
anti-democratic than any ir
Central Europe.
Several said if his rule con-
tinued for as long as six
months they saw little hope OF
keeping communism from the
rest of Latin America.
In the month following the
invasion, which Sh attere d
against the Communist-armed
Castro forces, saw little OF
Cuba beyond what was visible
from the windows of two en-
bassies in which I took asylum
from Mr.. CaStro's G-2 agents
seeking me because they con-
tended all American newsmen
were spies.
But I talked with highly
placed Cubans and many for
eign diplomats. The picture
they drew was terrifying from
a Western viewpoint. Fidel
Castro today is on a power
mad rampage. and there ap-
pears to be nothing in his own
country which might halt him
The bearded leader shattered
the underground opposition
within Cuba at the same time
he smashed the April invasion
What is left is a mass of un-
happy and angered Cubans,
hating his Communist regime
but too terrified by its armed
strength to oppose it.

Matthew 1923. And after he had
dismissed the crowds, he went up
into the hills by himself to pray"
1t was Paderewski, the great
Polish pianist, who said that if he
gave up practicing for one day
he knew it. If he gave up practicing
for two days, the critics knew it,
and if he gave up practicing for
three days everyone knew it, The
pianist was stating principle
which applies to every department
of life; namely, that discipline,
hard work, concentration, and reg
ular habits are needed to be effec-
tive. In tOdays world of advertised
push button, effortless living. we
are often misled into believing that
our desires and whims at the
moment should be obeyed. How
ever, whether it is proficiency on
the piano, acquiring an education,
succeeding in business, or building
home something for nothing"
is an illusion. Likewise, regular
spiritual exercises are needed to
manage our lives.
Jesus found it needful to go
apart to pray regularly. He studied
the scriptures and as was his Gus
tom worshipped in the synagogue
on the sabbath So we need to de-
velop regular devotional exercises.
If we depend upon our feeling at
the moment we may not be strong
when we most need to be For
example, our impulse may be TO
sit by the fireside on Sunday
morning because SO often we have
been bored in church. However,
1t may be this very morning that
a life changing experience of Wor-
ship will occur if we make the
effort to attend.
Plato notes that his teacher Soc
rates once said, IF a man would
move the world; he must first
move himself" We are moved by
something that commands us. We
are disciplined and managed by
what we love Hence, commitment
to God and his plan for our life
moves us to regular worship and
work.
A sign in the window of local
bank illustrates the surprising
amount of capital that can accrue
in a few years as the result of
systematic saving Of small amounts
set to interest. Jesus illustrated
this for life as he went apart to
pray regularly. If you desire pur-
pose. meaning, and power in liv-
ing why don't you give this time
worn principle try. Practice may
not make perfect but it makes
life.
