Cuba Prepares
0AS Defense

HAVANA, Jan. II (AP). -
Fidel Castro's regime today
lined up heavy defense artillery
for the Inter-American Confer
ence IN Uruguay. The govern
ment announced that President
Osvaldo Dorticos would head
the Cuban delegation and Car
los Rafael Rodriguez, one OF
Cuba's top Communists, would
go along with the rank of am
baSsador.
Until yesterday, Foreign Min
lister Raul Roa was scheduled
to head the delegation to the
conference January % which
will take up charges that COM
munism based in Cuba threat
ems the peace of the hemi-
sphere.
The switch was interpreted
as evidence Mr.. CaStro'S regime
is going to do everything pos
sible to head off drastic collec-
tive action against it.
Except for the Uruguayan
host, Mr.. Dorticos is the only
chief of state scheduled to at
tend the conference. A govern
ment communique said he
would hold the rank of foreign
minister during the meeting.
Mr.. Roa has been given a
leave of absence" but will at
tend the conference as a coun-
cilor, it said.
Mr.. Rodriguez, editor of the
Communist newspaper Hoy ano
a chief planner in Mr.. Castro
campaign to lead Cuba down
the Marxist-Leninist road, also
was a last-minute addition tc
the delegation.
1t was understood word OF
the change was communicated
to Latin American diplomats at
a reception given last night fol-
Mr.. Roa by the Ambassador
from Uruguay, one of the sever
Latin American nations that
still maintains diplomatic rela-
tions with Cuba,
Latin American sources sale
the Castro regime does not
want a collective break of diplo-
matte relations with the Ameri-
cas- and will try to keep Cube
in the Organization of Ameri-
can States without relaxing its
bonds with the Soviet bloc.
The sources said the Cuban
delegation will argue that its
presence in the OAS is no more
incompatible than that of Rus
STA or Poland in the United
Nations.

less than 13 per cent, while
those in the middle and higher
grades would get slightly more
than 13 per cent.
Also, supervisory employees
would be guaranteed a S pei
