Kennedy Denies Any Promises That
 US. Would Launch Invasion of Cuba

WASHINGTON R - President Kennedy denied today that anyone in the US. government lever in- formed" Cuban exile leader Jose Miro Cardona that the United States would launch an invasion of Cuba.
 While rejecting Miro Cardona's charge that Kennedy had made such promise and reneged, Ken nedy also appealed for coopera- ton from Miro Cardona and all other Cubans.
 He said bluntly, however, that i've must maintain control of our policy here in Washington, and We intend to do that"
 Kennedy discussed the Cuban situation in reply to questions after addressing a luncheon meet ing of the American Society of Newspaper Editors. Most of the questions put up for comment con- cerned Cuba.
 The President said there is a basic difference of interest be- tween Cuban exiles and the United States in one respect. The Cubans feel 'the only way they can re- turn to their homeland is by mili- tary action of the United States" :" But the Washington government, he said, is conscious of it's obliga- ton to many countries all over the world.
 Kennedy said that, under condi- tions as they exist today, the use of blockade or invasion against Cuba would be mistake. He add ed he did not know what the fu- ture would bring, but he emphatic ally ruled out military action un- der present circumstances.
 He said he could not indicate the exact role by which freedom would be returned to Cuba, but he said he was confident it would return, and meanwhile the United States had taken many actions to restrain Communism" in this hemisphere, to keep Cuba's regime under surveillance, and to iso- late Cuba.
 Specifically on the question of charges made against him by Miro Cardona, who resigned yes- terday as chairman of the Cuban Revolutionary Council, Kennedy said: 'Obviously nobody in the United States government ever in- formed MT. Cardona, or anyone else, that we would launch an in- vasion."
 In his address before accepting questions, the President argued that S5 billion cut in his budget would cost million jobs and offset all the benefits from a pro- posed tax cut. At the same time, he said he wasn't saying that fed

Paris Hits

Water Firm

A Republican candidate for

day attacked the proposed ac-
QUESTION of the Alexandria
Water Company by the County
Water Authority as "unde-
sirable governmental involve
ment in business activities"
Stanford E. Paris. who seeks
the Mason District seat, said
that the acquisition would in
crease the county's bonded
indebtedness by $50 to $40 mil
lion. At the same time, he said,
the county would lose about
100000 in annual taxes from
the privately owned Alexandria
company.
Mr.. Paris made the state
ments in a talk prepared for
delivery to the Greater Falls
Church Republican Women's
Club.
The Fairfax County Board is
seeking to condemn the Alex
andria company in a suit now
pending in Fairfax Circuit
Court. Last week, the State
Supreme Court of Appeals ruled
against a State Corporation
Commission order that would
have blocked the condemna-
ton.
Mr.. Paris suggested that the
county could easily get a uni
fled water system by negotiat-
ing joint operating agree
ment with the Alexandria
company. This, he said, will
give the water authority con-
troll over and use of the facili-
ties without any costs to the
