South Sees
Hot Issue on
Cuba Quoted
BY CECIL HOLLAND
Star Staff Writer

LOUISVILLE, KY, Oct. 23-
The measures ordered by Presi-
dent Kennedy to end a buildup
of nuclear power in Cuba will
remove a burning issue from
the congressional elections in
| the south next month.
Quite possibly, it could make
the road of a few hard-pressed
Democratic candidates a little
easier, and assure larger ma
jorities for others.
| A trip through six Southern
States in the last 10 days re-
vealed that Cuba was an issue
on which the President was
criticized more than anything
else as far as foreign affairs
are concerned.
For most Southerners, Wet
Nam and Laos are remote and
Berlin is only less so.
But when Fidel astro
brought communism to Cuba,
80 miles off American shores.
this became a little too close
for comfort.
Widely Discussed
That view, it was found, was
entertained and discussed wide
ly in North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, Ala b a m a,
Tennessee and Kentucky, the
six States visited.
In most of them, Republican
candidates were calling for
some sort of Cuban blockade
to cut off the supply of Soviet
arms to Mr.. Castro.
Often and bitterly the Presi-
dent was criticized for allow
ing the situation to deteriorate
to the extent it did before he
acted. In the minds of many
Southerners, this in dica t e d
weakness and indeciSion in the
White House which compound
ed the dislike many have de-
veloped for Mr.. Kennedy be-
cause of his domestic policies.
One of the Republican can
didates who has been making
the most he can of the Cuban
problem is M. c., (Gene) Sny-
der, the ultra conservative who
is seeking Kentucky's Sd Dis
trict Oouisville) seat.
Sails into Issue
In a joint meeting last night
with Representative Frank w.
Burke, the Democratic incum-
bent seeking a third term, Mr.,
Snyder belabored the issue with
vigor.
In addition to a naval block
ade which he had suggested
earlier, the Republican candi-
date, a magistrate of suburban
Jeffersontown, said the United
States should withdraw ALI
ance for Progress funds from
other American States who re-
fuse to support the blockade.
In other ways Mr.. Kennedy's
actions may have some effect
in the Southern States.
AS one observer here re-
marked, This should put an
end to squawks and name-call-
ing, In the remaining days Of
campaign there should be sober
consideration of the dangers
we face and the best way to
meet them"

of both the United States and
Cuban governments, but that
if approval we're given the
committee could retrieve the

Rise in Auto Toll

marks were contained in a
greeting to the National Con-

This conference is at a
time when added emphasis is
necessary in our national traf-
fic safety effort" he said in

Mr.. Castro said again today

would be met by forcee.
Continued presence Of the
bombers in Cuba is the biggest
unresolyed issue in the Cuban
dispute between the United

President Kennedy classed
them as offensive weapons be-
cause they have a range Of $50
miles and can carry nuclear

plane which invades Cuban air
space can only do so at the risk
of being destroyed.
If any accident occurs in the
preparation Of such arbitrary
acts against our country, the
responsibility will fall COM
pletely on the Government of
the United States.
Once more we express to you,
Mr.. Secretary General, that we
are sincerely disposed to con-
slider a full solution, which may
resolve definitely the existing
tension.
We understand this would be
beneficial for all the people
affected by the same, Just as
any conflict would be preju-
dicial for all.
The moment has arrived to
know who desires and WHO does
not desire that there shall be
peace. Cuba never will be an
obstacle for a just. decent, ac-
ceptable solution for all. Cuba
simply defends its sovereignty
and the self-determination Of
its people, equal law for all
states, large or small, the right
of all nations to work, progress
and live in peace, to respect
and be respected. ~
Serene Attitude"
If the Government Of the
United States, in spite of the
serene attitude Of the Soviet
Union and the disposition of
Cuba to offer a dignified and
stable peace. insists on acts of
force against our country, no
one should have illusions about
the inevitable result of this
policy.
Cuba will not surrender be-
fore a policy of force. The
revolution maintains itself
firmly. Its people will resist,
cost what it may cost. Do not
let our enemies be deceived.
With the strength which is
given by right and patriotism,
we will make aggresSors pay
very dearly for their crime if
they attack us. prs
The United States incessantly
threatens our country with war.
1t would be a war without glory
and without honor against a
people which never will give
itself up as conquered.

mony of my highest considera-

Excellencv.

EXcellency::
The Government of the
United States and the most
reactionary press of that
country is trying to present the
government of Cuba as schem-
ing to block and sabotage the
possibilities of a peaceful solu-
ton to the present crisis. This
is based by them on two totally
legitimate decisions of our
people.
1. It (the people, will not
accept the unilateral inspection
of our soil with which the Gov
eminent of the United States
tries to decide questions which
are absolutely to our disad-
vantage as a sovereign nation.
2, It is not disposed to per-
NIT invasions of our air space
which are injurious to our
security and an outrage to our
national dignity.
The government Of Cuba has
not blocked in the slightest the
negotiations which are being
carried out. This has been and
is the position of Cuba, just as
our position was very different
before the threats and sabotage
of the United States.
Cites Bomber Issue
At this time, the United
States has converted into the
crux of the problem the IL-2S
medium bombers stationed in
Cuban territory. These air
planes are the property of the
Soviet government. They were
brought to Cuba for the defense
of our country against agrees
sion. With their lack of speed
and their low flight ceiling,
they are antiquated equipment
before modern means Of anti
aircraft defense.
It is evident that the position
Of the Government of the
United States in demanding the
withdrawal Of these planes sim
ply constitutes a pretext to
maintain the tension, prolong
the crisis and maintain its pol
icy Of force.
However. If the Soviet Union
considers it advisable to with
draw these planes for the bene-
fit Of the negotiations and the
solution Of the crisis, the rev.
dictionary government of Cuba
win not block this decision.
Warns Of Flights
At the same tirpe, high func-
tionaries Of the United States
have declared that military
planes Of that country will con-
tinue violating Cuban SOW
ereignty and invading our air
space. These illegal and aggres-
sive acts are in fragrant contra
diction to international law and
the Charter of the United Ma
tons.
Cuba has the legitimate ano
indisputable right to defend It's
territory against such viola.
