The Allen-Sc0tt Report
Russians Rotating = Not Reducing - Troops
In Cuba, Best Intelligence Indicates

ly declared his country proposes
to keep a considerable number
of military technicians and adj
visers' in Cuba as long as the
U. S. does that in South Wet
Nam.
Dobrynin blandly contended
there is no difference between
these two situations.
The Red envoy admitted some
new Soviet arrivals in Cuba. But
he claimed they are "agricul-
tural technicians'' needed to boil
ster Castros steadily Worsening
economy.
According to Dobrynin, no new
Russian troops are being sent to
Cuba, and all combat forces are
being slowly removed. This as
sertion is fatty denied by the
Defense Intelligence Agency and
Central Intelligence Agency
Their evidence wholly contra
diets Dobrynin.
The Ola reports not only
large numbers of Russians be.
ing brought to Cuba by ship. but
between 100 and 200 flown in
weekly. The Soviet now has a
weekly giant TUBA jetliner
flight between MurmanSk and
Havana.
AStonishingly. the u S. sup
plies weather information to the
Russians for these nonstop 5000
mile flights
1t will be several weeks be-
fore intelligence authorities can
fully reassess Soviet military
strength in Cuba. Ola experts
believe the new compilation will
reveal no diminution in these
forces: that is, that the sum to-
tai of all the coming and going
will add up to 1000 combat
troops that have been there for
months.
Secretary Rusk and Defense
Secretary M N m ara don t
agree with this opinion. Pri-
vately they are saying they ex-
pect Moscow to reduce its Gu
ban fighting garrison to around
10000.

The Kennedy Administration is

Absolutely no firm evidence
exists that any combat elements

This is particularly true as re-

numerous anti aircraft an d

are still there, with no sign of

In other words, Russian mill
taly strength is the same today

loudly acclaimed removal of the
undetermined ballistic missiles

treats its own people and threat
ems all the free nations of the
Americas.
It is not the amount of money
that is to go to Fidel Castro. If
it were one dollar, it would be
too much.
What counts is the principle
Of the thing. And the principle
is that the people of the United
States should not be asked to
contribute a single dime to he
bloody Castro dictorship.
1t is especially iromcal that
the U.N. Special Fund wants to
subsidize an agricultural prof.
ect.
Who will be the beneficiaries
of foodstuffs grown under the
PRO or a m? Not the Cuban
people, certainly - not the Gu
bans languishing in Castro's
dungeons.
But there are thousands of
Russian soldiers in Cuba, and
they are well fed. The Russian
| conquerors have everything. No
doubt, this U. N. project could
help produce more vegetables
for the Russian field kitchens.
The U, N. aid project for
Cuba may be the straw t h at
breaks the canels back. Only
weeks ago, millions of Ameri-
cans were profoundly indignant
that they were in effect sub
sidNlng the U. Ms war against
anticomlunlstS in Kat ga.
They could not do anything
about that. But the U. N. plan
to send money to Cuba is too
much for Americans.
Already there is before Con-
gTesS a resolution that calls for
a complete cutoff of U. 8. funds
to the United Nations if the UN.
Special Fund persists in aiding
Fldel Castro and his Russian
masters Such a resolution
should enjoy the widest support
in the Congress from bot h
parties
/ II there is one issue on which
all good Americans feel strong
ly, it the Cuban issue. 1t
should be clear that the U. S.
public will not countenance fl
nancial aid to the man and the
regime that are our sworn
enemy
/ The American people would
not for an instant tolerate direct
financial assistance to Fidel
Castro.
1t certain that, if they know
what is going on. they will not
stand by while the U. N. Special
Fund is used as a secret pipe
line to provide a Russian satel-
lite in the Caribbean w h
money furnished by the people
Of the United States.
Congress. as the source of
operating funds for all govern
ment projects should proceed to
issue an ultimatum to the United
Nations: NO money for Castro,
or else
If the U. N. Special Fund re-
fuses to halt financial aid to a
Red dictator, then the United
Nations stands exposed as a
mere front organization and fl
nancial pipeline for the Soviet
world conspiracy.
Now is the time for Congress
to act.

In The Third Year

Now it came to pass in the last
days of the third year of the reign
of King John that all was not we'll
We're high, many laborers were idle,
and there was much unrest between
the people of color and those that
We're white. And abroad, opinion of
the kingdom was growing poorer be-
cause the young king had circumscrib-
ed his bOundless energy with little
evidence of direction or fOrethought.
AS the day was drawing nigh in
which the king must go again unto
the people and submit himself for
their approval, he became very eau
tiOus of his deeds lest he offend a
group whose vote might be significant
enough to cast him from the throne.
1t was a long, long time ago when
the prince first came galantly to the
throne, so long in fact that he had
forgotten most of the promises made
to the masses assembled around him
who were charmed more by his hand
some stature and pleasant disposition
than his ability to lead their country
i'll perilOuS times.
OF humble origin, being the second
son of wealthy brewer, the young
king was admired for his abundance
of enthusiasm and the energetic spirit
in which he set out to change the
course of human events.
Soon after the young prince as
cended to the throne great cry of
awe went up from all corners of the
kingdom for he was handsome and
provided a pleasing sight at which
to look. Now this was different from
the attire of their last king, for he
was old and bald, and wrinkles mar
red his aging complexion but, he was
wise.
The King spoke with voice which
fascinated the subjects not because
of its wisdom but because of its un-
usual accent. In the province of
Boston, from which the young king
came, an accent was common which
was different from that spoken in
other parts of the kingdom. There
