U.S. Chamber Told of
Curb on Gold Outflow
WASHINGTON — The U. S.
Chamber of Commerce was told
Tuesday that the flight of Ameri
can gold and capital, curbed in
the early weeks of the Kennedy
Administration, will resume if the
government embarks on an easy
money, deficit-financing policy.
John J. Balles, Pittsburgh fi
nancier, told the businessmen’s
organization that the govern
ment's reassuring words on the
future of the dollar must be “fol
lowed by effective action.”
“The solution lies in attacking
the root cause — inflationary
budget deficits, excessive money,
and a wage-price spiral,” Balles
said in a speech prepared for the
Chamber’s 49th annual meeting
here.
The key policy is the avoidance
of inflation, Balles said. The
speaker, vice president of the
Mellon National Bank & Trust
Co., said the torrential outflow
of gold and dollars last fall “sug
gested a flight from the dollar, ;
rather than a mere flow of funds
to take advantage of higher in- i
terest rates abroad.”

! Aerial Pirate
Forces U. S. Plane
To Fly to Cuba
MIAMI, Fla. UP — An aerial
pirate, armed with a steak knife
. and pistol and flaunting the name
of an old-time buccaneer, hi
jacked an American airliner over
Florida Monday and forced it to
fly to Cuba.
While seven frightened passen
gers sat frozen to their seats, the
self-proclaimed “El Pirata Co
fresi” told the pilot that Rafael
Trujillo, Dominican Republic
strongman, had offered him $100,
000 blood money to assassinate
Fidel Castro.
But he had no intention of
carrying out the mission, he said,
because he considered Castro a
“good guy” and wanted to “spill
the beans” to him.
When the shanghaied, two-en
gine National Airlines plane land
ed at an airport near Havana,
Castro militiamen hustled the
man away to an uncertain fate.
Then the plane was permitted to
return to Florida.
The FBI and other government
agencies pressed an investigation
to determine the real name of
Cofresi, and exactly what he was
up to.

Sen. Church Says Invasion
Was Marked by Poorly
Conceived Military Action
WASHINGTON Uf) — Sen.
Frank Church, (D-Idaho), said
after a congressional briefing by
CIA Director Allen W. Dulles
yesterday the ill-fated Cuban in
vasion was marked by “poorly
conceived” military action.
Church said it was up to a Sen
ate Foreign Relations subcom
mittee, headed by Sen. Wayne
Morse to decide whether to call
in representatives of the military
for questioning concerning their
role in the U. S.-supported in
vasion of Cuba by Cuban exiles.
Church told reporters:
“The Cuban briefings over the
last two days lead me to conclude
that a dual mistake was made:
Communism can’t be shot down in
Latin America; it must be shown
up, and this should be the object
of our policy.
“But, when a report to arms
was taken in Cuba, then the error
was compounded by allowing a
corporal’s guard to attempt any
army’s work.”
