A former Marine unfoldS
on Capitol Hill today his story
that he was hustled out of the
corps and ordered Ito get lost
and keep my mouth shut"
about the 1861 Staying Of a
Cuban allegedly suspected of
being a spy, at the Nays
Guantanamo Cuba base.
The former lst lieutenant,
William A. Sill, said he was
discharged after, he said, he
helped a captain-a Medal of
Honor winner-dispose of the
body.
Representative Schweiker OF
Pennsylvania, told newSmen he
has asked Mr.. Sill, now living
In NoSriStoWn, Pa, to discuss
the case with him today to see
II there is a chance Of appeal.
The Congressman emnha-
sized, however, that everything
will depend on what Mr.. Sill
tells him and on what the Ko-
reAn war veteran wants to do
himself.
Il feel that we should in
vestigate before pursuing other
lines Of action" said Mr..
Schweiker.
Mr.. Sill had protested be-
fore-to Mr.. Schweiker and
other members of the Pennsyl-
vania congressional delegation,
and to President Kennedy
but without disclosing the in
cident he says was behind his
discharge.
Says Captain Helped
Mr.. Sill related his story
yesterday to the Philadelphia
Evening Bulletin and explained
that he had to sign a statement
before his discharge saying he
knew he could be fined $4,000
or imprisoned 10 years If he
said anything about the Staying.
He told the Bulletin the
captain he helped to hide the
body was Arthur jackson.
In San Jose. Calf, former
Marine Capt. Arthur j. Jack
son, 38, now a mail carrier
referred all questions to the
Defense Department. He said,
ITS a security matter" He
refused to confirm or deny
whether he was the Capt.
jackson referred to by Mr..
Sill. He won the Medal OF
Honor, the country's highest
decoration, for bravery in
World War II.
Both the Defense Depart
ment and the Marine Corps
refused comment.
In October. 1861, the body of
a Cuban named Ruben Lopez
was found inside the base.
Fidel CaStro's government
charged he had been tortured
and killed because he had Cas-
tro Sympathies and demanded
that the persons responsible be
turned over.
U. S. Expressed Regret
without disclosing any de-
tails, the United States ex-
pressed regret for Mr.. Lopez's
death and pressed an investi-
cation which it completed late
in 1861. The Defense Depart
ment did not make q report
of the investigation public.
saying only that no charges
had been filed.
Jack Anderson wrote about
the incident in Drew Pearson's
Washington column pust before
Stills interview with the Bull
letin.
According to Mr.. Anderson's
account, this Is what happened:

the naval base. was suspected
Of being a Castro agent and was

to dramatize it. Their hopes
are for a break through" in
several key countries like Vene-
zuela and the Dominican Re-
public, where progressive demo-
cratic governments have en-
braced broad Alliance pro-

Critics answer that this dis
tant break-through may come
too late. What is needed, they
say, are carefully selected
crash programs" such as slum
clearance projects or sewage
systems in key cities all over
the continent. They would
damn the red tape, break
through governmental inertia,
and capture popular imagina-
tion at once. They would dra-
Matte the Alliance here and
now until the broader pro-
grams begin to have their i'm
pact.
So far Alliance architects
have resisted this approach.
For better or for worse, they
steadfastly adhere to the be-
lief that the salvation of
goth century Latin America lies
in a steady o-ordinated on
slaught on feudalism, not in
