u: S. Lag in Space
Blamed on Late Start

I believe, to be ahead at the
end of this decade, and that is
where I think we ought to be. "
The budget could not pos
Sibly be cut by the amounts
proposed by Gen. Eisenhower
and many Republicans in Con-
gress without cutting the
heart out of the military budg-
et," the President asserted.
He noted that the country
now has l6 combat ready d.
visions instead of the IL when
he came into office; that he
has nearly doubled Polaris
building, has increased the
number of SAC bombers on
l5-minute alert from SO per
cent to SO per cent, has added
as vessels to the Navy and
otherwise strengthened de-
lenses.
Outside the defense and
space fields, Mr.. Kennedy said,
his administration has put in
less of a budget increase in our
three years than Gen. Eisen-
hover did in his last three
years.
Assailing this idea that you
can cut the budget wholesale
without cutting national pro-
grams" Mr.. Kennedy said that
any way taking SO billion or
more out of the economy sis
just bound, in my opinion, to
put you on an economic de-
cline instead of a rise"
Asserting that he would like
to see the United States able
to do more in some domestic
areas, the President said he
thinks there sis always a ques-
ton of whether we are spend
ing enough for civilian needs"
But he concluded that I'VE
have done about as much as we
now can do" although more
may have to be done in later
years.

Another 1000 or so Soviet
troops have left Cuba in the
last couple Of weeks, but there
still are too many there -
about 10000 - according to
President Kennedy.
The President told a press
conference late yesterday that
he hopes the thousands Of Rus
slams still in Cuba will be taken
home, and said I'VE will con-
tinue to observe very closely in
the next days, the immediate
weeks ahead, whether there are
going to be further withdraw
ais"
He recalled that by trough
calculation" the United States
estimated there were $1,000
possibly $4,000, Soviet military
personnel on the island at the
height of the Cuban crisis last
fall.
He estimated that 5000 left
in November, when Soviet mis-
siles and Jet bombers were
shipped home, and that APP
proximately 1000 more Rus
slams left in the last month.
At his last press conference
two weeks ago, the President
estimated that about 1000 So
Wet troops had been pulled out
of Cuba during March up Il
that time. His estimate yester-
day added 1000. He estimated
that all these figures arr
bound to be generalized "be.
cause it is impossible to take {
detailed head count"
Criticizes Raids
Again branding as ineffective
lhit-and-run commando raid:
against Castro Cuba by anti
Castro exiles, Mr.. Kennedy saiC
such incidents give additional
incentives for the Soviet Unior
to maintain their personnel ir
Cuba"
Such raids do not seem to
him to represent any real blow
at the Castro regime, he added
Since the last raid announced
by Cuban exiles, during which
a Soviet merchant ship was at
tackled In a Cuban port, the
United States has ordered sew
eral of the exile leaders living
in Miami. Fla, to stay within
Dade County.
In addition to the apparent
ineffectiveness of the hit-and-
run raids, the President said
the United States has at
tempted to discourage them
because he feels this Govern.
ment should have some con-
troll In the matter" when "is-
sues of war and peace hang In
the balance"
Cites Spiraling Risk
He pointed out that raids on
Cuba and Soviet ships there car
be expected to bring reprisals
possibly on American ships
which would call for American
military action to protect oul
ships. which might then bring
a counteraction.
Mr.. Kennedy said he wanted
to contrast that kind Of actor
with that Of between 400 and
500 members Of the Bay Of Pigs
invasion brigade, who were
freed last Christmas season
after months in Castro prison.

munity and was not named as

Mr.. Perry said that while
Middle Atlantic Distributors
and the firms office manager,
John Clease, were named as
defendants in today's indict-
ments, there appeared to be no
evidence that other officials of
the firm had been linked to
the alleged liquor scheme. Mr..

Mr.. Perry said that company
employees had been used to pack
the liquor in the trunks of the
specially-constructed cars and
that it was alleged in the in

office manager, had knowledge

Mr.. Perry said the maximum
penalty against each defendant
under the l2-count indictment
would be a total of 81 years in
prison and 100000 in fines.
Mr.. Perry, sketching in de-
tails Of the alleged conspiracy.
said an average Of 288 cases
