At three in the morning, the guard woke me,
and then woke the rest. By now, search parties
were looking for US; we had to keep moving. As we
left the cane field, we set FIRE to it.
For a week we moved along the highway,
striking in different spots. Once zoe killed the soldiers
at highway dbedPOint and used her shack to
ambush a convoy. Friendly farmers fed us and
keptus informed Of movements By The militia.
Each night we burned cane field. At the end
of that week, felt that the raiders could function
without me; was to return to train more guerrilla
fighters. Chico would lead them now.
So, on moOnless night, stole boat and left.
Looking back across the water, could see red gOws
in the sky over Cuba from the burning cane fields;
it was cheerful sight. Those were the flames of
rebellion that will burn communism out of Cuba.
But there is a sad postscript. A month after
this received word from remnants Of the raiders.
The forces in CamagIey and the group had left in
Pinar del Rio had united. They tried more road
blocks. But heavy tanks accompanying a convoy
crashed their roadblock and many of the raiders
were killed.
However, there are more guerrillas training.
They will return to Cuba to replace those who
have fought and died. -TMG ss0

But like Pedro, they wouldn't STOP They kept firing.
Some of the militia gathered under the fourth
truck and started firing back, but one of PedrO's
cocktails killed them before they could do any
damage.
Then there were only the scattered popgun
sounds of few raiders who were pursuing the
fleeing mlitiamen. The rest were dead, drsped over
the sides of the burning trucks. The raiders cheered.
They had won their first battle to free Cuba.
A burn from q cocktail
They grabbed the enemy's shiny new Belgian
and C1echosovakian rifles and ammunition and then
struggled back to me. Pedro was our only casualty:

At this point, the trucks gas tank exploded and
the narrow highway was blocked SO the following
trucks piled up. Crenadiers and riHemen at those

around to try to escape. Chico and his companion
hit it with explosives. Now the militia were bottled
up in our fire trap.
Caught unaware, and without officers or ser.

most scrambled out of the trucks and tried to crawl
underneath.

Birth of ArmIess Girl

A girl was born in Washing.

thalidomide, a sleeping pill

The child was born February

a source there said.
DR.. Samuel Shwartz, chief OF
the District Bureau of Mater
nal and Child Health, said the
mother Is thought to have been
given some indications during
early pregnancy at another
hospital in Washington. The
District hopes to get the
woman's medical records from
this hospital to determine II
the drug was thalidomide.
District General Hospital de-
ermined that no thalidomide
had been used on the mother
at District General. Four of the
Washington physicians, who
received the drug, are asso-
ciated with District General

There is no evidence Of men

spokesman said.
Artificial arms can be
grated to the muscles Of the
shoulder girdle and the child
probably will be able to walk.
Her legs, however. have no
thighs and are thus consider
ably shorter than normal.
There are four toes on each
foot.
DR.. Shwartz said that one
or two cases such as this might
be expected to occur in WASH
ington each year from other
causes.
He declined to name the
hospital or the family.
DR.. Shwartz had announced
earlier that a quick review OF
more than 1900 births in the
District since the beginning Of
the year showed no such de-
formities.
But, he said, more careful
study Of several suspicious
cases has now turned up this
one child with deformities
within the range Of those be-
lieved caused by thalidomide.
