for new economic plans for each

other previous programs.

Fryer pointed out there is no
reason why the Navajos can't set
up busines sses--a brick factory or
meat processing plant--to supply
needs on the reservation. He said
that 48, 900 meals are served daily
to $4,000 children on the Navajo

Paul Jones, chairman of the

There are few first-rate ex-

Question of Pre-C castro or 80 Movement
Raised Following Kennedy Statement
DAVID LAWRENCE

Did President Kennedy
make an error of fact at his
news conference on Septem-
Der 13. or did he purposely
make a significant revelation
which has escaped general
attention? At that time he
read a prepared statement
declaring that technical and
military personnel of the So
Wet Union moved into Cuba
in 1858 "at the invitation of
the Cuban government"
Did the Batista govern
ment, which was in power at
that time and was anti
Communist, invite the Com
munists into Cuba? The Ba-
tista government did not coll
lapse until January. 1859,
when Fidel Castro assumed
the reins of government.
Mr.. Kennedy's prepared
statement to the press read as
follows:
Ever since communism
moved into Cuba in 1858, So
Wet technical and military
personnel have moved steadi-
ly onto the island in in
creasing numbers at t h e in
vitation of the cuban
government"
1t doesn't seem plausible
that the government of Ba-
tista would have invited into
Cuba Soviet technical and
military personnel at any
time during the year 1858.
1t could be that the Soviets
were already assisting the
Castro revolutionists to over
throw the BatiSta regime,
and that this amounted to a
direct military Intervention
against the constituted gov
ernment. If this is proved
to have been true, then the
Soviets not only violated the
Monroe Doctrine but actual
ly violated the sovereignty of
Cuba. Yet if it happened,
wouldn't Batista have known
it, and, If he did, why didn't
he protest?
The Castro government
took over on January /, 1859,
and was given diplomatic
recognition by the United
States on January 7. If there
had been any evidence of the
sending Of Soviet technical
and military personnel into
Cuba, the American govern
ment would never have rec
ognized the Castro govern
ment when it did.

Democrats DOING 1t Hard Way

pected to oppose the Demo-
cratic President only two
years from now, so Washing
ton will be second-guessing
the New York State effort
with an unusually critical
eye.
There are attractive can
didates in the lot. They are
certainly the product of an
Embossed convention. It Is
true that some oldtimers, no.
tably Representative Charles
Buckley of the Bronx, have
probably managed to sneak
away with some judicial
nominations under cover of
the general confusion. But
they took advantage of a sit
uation; they did not DOM
mate it.
1t now seems that the
chance of a powerful Demo-
cratic showing against the
Rockefeller-Javits forces is
not good. The convention has
been grumpy and defeatist
and was made more so when
the only Democrat in State

thur Levitt, threatened to
quit the ticket.
Whether the New York
Democrats can pull them

There was a current Of con-
viction in these discussions
that we have hastily, fool
ishly and in the face Of so
years bitter experience, NOR
ally overextended ourselves:
that in this realm our COM
mitments far outbalance our

and help others toward it by

tions. What we cannot and
must not do is make it a re-
quirement-for our aid, our
