What really is the policy
OF the Kennedy administra-
ton in relation to the Com
munist occupation of Cuba?
The President has not made
1t clear on the stump. Nor has
the Department Of State
made 1t clear in its public
statements.
But the Soviet government
on its part has made very
clear what has happened to
Americas historic policy
known as the Monroe Doc
trine. Here is a news dispatch
by United Press International
q few days ago from Moscow:
1.-THE Kremlin Sunday listed
Premier Fidel Castro's Cuba
among the Communist ma
tons for the first time and
gave 1t precedence over Yugo-
Slavia and Communist China
in listing the traditional slo-
gans for the 45th anniversary
of the Bolshevik revolution on
November T."
For all practical purposes,
the Soviet government has set
up its system in Cuba and
transformed that country into
a Communist colony.
c President, Kennedy has
made no public protest to
Moscow. Nor has Congress
done so. The resolution
adopted by both Houses mere
ly cautions the Communists
not to carry out any armed
attack or military offensive
against any other nation in
this hemisphere. It's ap-
parently all right for them to
keep on doing what they
have been doing in Cuba. No
steps are indicated to prevent
the Communists from carry
ing on their activities in other
parts of Latin America unless
they try to use armed force
to achieve their ends.
Thus has the Monroe Doc
trine been Scuttled. Commu-
mist activity-and even Com
munist takeover Of any other
Latin American country-iS,
in effect, sanctioned today
by United States policy. Only
it must not be done by mill
tary means. Actually. the
Soviets didn't openly assist
in the military operations
that set up the Castro regime

BOISE, Idaho, Oct. IT,
Democratic leaders still are
whistling through their teeth
at the turnout for Dwight
Eisenhower here.
Their candidates were begin
ming to cope with a pesky gam
bling issue and party disunity.
Then, 81 900 came out and stood
in a rainstorm to cheer, hear
and even touch the former
President at his october 8 rally.
The impact has been to in
crease both the enthusiasm and
the number Of Rep u bile q n
workers in Southern Idaho.
Democrats are answering by
sending three Of their m o S t
glamorous spokesman to thu
same people: Interior Secretary
d Udall, to Pocatello today; Vice
President Johnso to Twin
Falls Friday and President
Kennedy to this biggest city
and capital of the State, on
the 25th. AL three towns are
in the south, carried by Re
publicans. influenced by Nor
mons and trending Democratic
for the last decade.
To Stress Works
The strategy Of the admins
tration trio will be to break
Idahoans' preoccupation with
gambling and put their minds
on what Democrats can do for
them, like $500 million in pub
lie works Just approved by Con-
gresS for the State. Four cru
cial seats in Congress are at
stake.
Yet, election returns today
would turn more on a roulette
wheel than on party issues.
The Democratic candidate
for Governor, Boise attorney
Vernon K. Smith, is campaign
ing for gambling casinos if the
counties want them. The IA
vored incumbent, Republican
Gov. Robert E. Smylie, is
against gambling. All Republic
cans here, up to and including
former President Eisenhower,
-flatly repudiate gambling.
Democratic candidates, except
for Mr.. Smith, try to ignore
the issue. But they can't shake
it.
Strong Issue in State
Put on the spot by Mr..
Smith, the party wrote a plat
form terming gambling an is
sue for the State legislature.
Anti-gambling Mormons make
UP one-third Of the legislature,
so casinos probably would be
rejected there. But t h i S SEEM
ingly innocuous platform means
more and more to voters that
Democrats are for gambling.
The issue seeps into every
campaign for every office be-
cause gambling cuts deep into
Idaho's history.
: Northern Idaho 100000

numbering country, has relaxed
with Darkroom gambling for
years. Boise in the southwest

stop dabbling in politics. The

Labor Defies
Guido, Strikes
nArgentina

BUENOS AIRES. May 2e
(AP.-Argentina was hit to-
day by a 24-hour nationwide
strike called by the powerful
General Confederation Of Labor
in defiance Of government
warnings that it would further
endanger the nations already
shaky economy.
The stoppage. which began
at one minute past midnight,
was expected to paralyze the
government railway system and
other public transport and idle
most industries. 1t did not af-
feet banks. stores and some
businesses.
Newspapers stopped publish
ing and radio stations an
nounced they would go off the
air at intervals in token sup
port Of the strike.
Living Cost Protest
The Labor Confederation
(CGT), which claims 8 million
members, called the strike to
protest rising living costs and
government failure to pay
overdue wages and pensions.
President Jose Maria Guido's
military backed government
said it would not try to stop
the strike, but it promised to
protect workers ignoring the
order. It urged transport COM
panies to keep operating and
said they would be reimbursed
for any vehicles damaged by
strikers.
Economy Minister Alvaro
AlSogaray warned in a radio
television broadcast that the
strike would add to Argentina's
mounting troubles and would
not help solve the governments
inability to meet payrolls and
other expenses.
Financial Steps Taken
Mr.. Alsogaray said the gov

check the financial crisis by
stopping Irregularities in public
finances and preventing out

Cubon Prisoner Shift
May Be Grim Worninq

HAVANA. May 20 (AP)-
More than 200 prisoners Of the
1861 Bay Of Pigs invasion have
been reported moved from
Principe prison in Havan to
the Isle of Pines penitentiary
40 miles off the southern coast
of Cuba.
The move was interpreted as
Ia warning to the rescue COM
mittee of Cuban exiles in the
United States. which has not
yet paid ransom for the release
of so sick and wounded pris-
|onerS who we're allowed to re-
turn to the United States early
last month.
Informants close to the priS-
oner situation said yesterday
that among the group taken
to the Isle of Pines over the
week end were the top COM
manders in last years abortive
anti-Castro invasion. The
sources said another group of
captives was shifted to a prison
in Matanzas Province east of
Havana.
The informants said Cuban
authorities told them the move
was for security reasons. There
was no confirmation or denial
from government sources.
The shifts came as Mrs. Berta
Barreto de los Heros, co-ordi-
nator between the rescue COM
mittee and Cuban officials, was
reported to have left for Miami.

major role in security the re-

I just wanted to hold him in

with them. I told them I loved
him so and that he was not

this to a man who is not gull
ty? But they nodded politely
and Addie smiled weakly as if
to say to me once more that
I was just an optimist."
She described the room in
which she met her husband as
very small and divided in half

glass wall. He then motioned I
should do the same. ! looked at
the commander who was seated
behind me and he noded that
it would be all right. I quickly
pressed my hand to the glass
where he held his.
Glass Separates Embrace
1T was an embrace-an en-
brace separated by two years
and a piece of glass-but it
was an embrace with my Adolf,
my husband. a man I love and
shall always love very deeply.
I could feel the warmth of his
hand even through the thick
ness of that glass !"
Mrs. Eichmann said tears
began to fall and she could not
open the conversation. He
started by asking about the
children, with special mention
of Hasi, 6. She said her husband
instructed her to send him to
a good Catholic school, so he
gets a good, sound education. +"
Mrs. Eichmann said her hus-
band swore by my own chill
dren" that he is innocent.
That was enough proof for
me-" she said, because I know
my Adolf"
She said she did not discuss
life Imprisonment or death
with her husband, but that he
told her he will face lit all
firmly" and that what must
come, must come"
Expects Worst Possible
Il said to him once more.
You will not be put to death
and then he said again, but,
oh, so somberly, We'll dear,
from your mouth these words
should be heard in Gods
ears
At the close of the first in
terview. she said, her husband
said he expected the worst pos
sible land almost shouted, The
others are towards, and I can
not imagine why I am the only
man to accept this blame
which was what they claim was
done to the Jews"
Asked if he named the cow
ards" Mrs. Eichmann said no.
Eichmann said he did not
want their three children to
live in Germany, but in Argen-
tina, where he was arrested.
His last words to me? That
history will prove him innocent
and that I should hever worry
about him and that I should
forgive him for the trouble
this has caused me, but above
all that he is grateful to me
for the wonderful years I have
given him and that we spent

HELENA - Thirty-five hunt
ing accidents, nine of which were
fatal and 26 non-fatal, were tab
ulated by the Montana Fish and
Game Department in its resume
of firearms accidents occurring
during the 1861 game season. The
accident report, released this
week, showed that this figure
was two more than the 80 in
1860. During that year six per-
sons met death and 81 suffered
injuries while hunting.
One of the tragic facts of the
1861 death score was that five
of the fatalities were attributed
to victims being mistaken for
game. None of the fatalities in
volved teen-age hunters. who are

A True Short Story
By Tom Fonfaine

Quite. often a little yarn-that
l heard in the old days-will
come back to my memory: i
heard John Conoly, one of the
early citizens of Cut Bank, tell
this one:
During the winter of about
1880, when he lived in Yankton,
South Dakota Territory, on the
Missouri River, there was an en-
campment of the usual odd as
sortment of rough frontier
types-river men, traders, cow
hands, soldiers and Indians. For

racing, but in winter, they some.
times had long-distance Q00-mile)
foot races on the ice. One Indian
came in ahead, and beat the
other runners 20 miles. Then the
sporting element took to dog
fighting and betting; some of the
sports had acquired pit bull dogs
the kind that have short tails.
But it happened that Mandan
Chief had a fighting mongrel dog
that he wanted to enter in the
dog fights, but he was told that
his dog had long tail; and &C
cording to the rules of dog fight
ing, only dogs with short tails
could be matched, but if he
would cut his dogs tail off, he
could enter him. The Chief de-
cided to cut his dogs tail Off
but first he went and bought
bottle of river whiskey." To
give an idea how river whiskey
was made in those days, it was
SO per cent river water, and add
ed to it was tobacco juice, strych-
nine, the juice of the blood root
to give it color, and a bar of
soap was put in the barrel to
give it a bead.
The Chief was a little drunk
when he got two fellows to hold
his dog down on a ehOpping
block, and he was going to hack
the tail off with his tomahawk.
but a Frenchman gave him a
broad ak, telling him to use it
it would do the job better! The
Chief, of course, was unaccuStom-
ed to welding a heavy tool like
broad AK. He raised the AK
high and came down hard, and
he cut his dog in twol
