Cuban Exile Leader Says Kennedy Backed Down on Promise of 2nd Invasion

MIAMI, Fla. R - Dr. Jose Miro Cardona, president of the Cuban Revolutionary uncil, charged Thursday that President Kennedy backed down on a prom ise of a second invasion of Cuba.
 Miro said this in a 10000 word document which the US. State De- partment had said distorted the facts.
 The Cuban leader said Kennedy promised after the ill-fated Bay of Pigs invasion in April 1861 that there would be another invasion to topple Fidel Castro.
 The controversial document was released after Miro quit as presi- dent of the council. Three other members followed him out the door of the closed meeting.
 Kennedy's policy on Cuba is a vague one, Miro charged, and he added that the President had re- neged on promises to help the anti Castro cause.

political science: People ea he kind Of governments
ahey deserve And so ii follows that they also deserve
the kind Of politician they get as result Of their
own interest or lack Of il.
In these days, when the worlds fate depends on
how well or III we conduct even the least Of our
affairs, we cannot afford to leave the business Of
democracy to the kind Of politician we get If we
don't care. Political apathy must be made to give
way to the enlightened interest Of devoted hearts,
inquiring minds, and dedicated purposes.
This can be done not alone by working
actively to put good men into Office (and defending
them there, incidentally but by broadening our
understanding Of the elaborate mechanism that is
politics. II in the process citizens enlist in the
political ranks, if they end up infected" and run
ming for Office themselves, that would be very good

energy consuming, but always rewarding.
For the far-seeing politician must be an educator

must teach that good politics is not just burst of

 Legislators and other party leaders were not grouped at speakers table but were scatter ed two or three to table with other guests throughout the room.
 The program was informal with the speakers answering or parrying questions ranging from Why can't we get more action on paving the Soldotna to Homer road?' to What in your estima- tion was the highlight of the last Legislative session."

 In reply to the question con- corning the paving of the Homer highway, Kendall said it already was paved - with surveyor stakes and was probably the "only wooden paved highway in the nation.' In more serious LEGISLATIVE MEET 2 2 2 9. tone, he added that it was hoped that paving plans could move for ward rapidly.
 Kendall also said the revolving loan fund for agricultural appro- prlatlons hung up in the Senate prior to the closing of the legis- lature but will be one of the first bills to be brought up in the first week on the calendar next ses- sion.

 As to the so-called COW moose slaughter, Tillion said the moose population is not endangered as yet. The herds are just not as close to the roads. He added it is not a question of biology but of economies. Do we want tame herds cultivated for tourist attrac- ken or do we want them where we can still get the meat but where they are not nearly as like ly to wrap around our cars?"

nexation request.
Pascagoula is seeking to take

expressed fear earlier that if
the county builds water and sew

linked in the same bond issue
with Escatawpa, it will prevent
the annexation of Bayou Casot-
