Castro Frantically
Preparing for
U. S. “Invasion”
HAVANA UP) — The Cuban
cabinet made a thinly veiled bid
for a change in U. S. policy toward
Fidel Castro’s regime under the
incoming Kennedy Administra
tion. There was no indication of
any change in Castro’s policy
toward the United States, how
ever.
Castro’s frantic preparations
against “invasion” from the U. S.
extended to Havana’s seafront.
Soldiers spent the night building
emplacements. Then militiamen
installed dozens of antiaircraft
guns and medium-caliber field
guns.
The cabinet also authorized the
death penalty for all anti-Castro „
terrorists, saboteurs and their ac
complices. Trials are expected
soon for 30 persons accused of
bomb making and arson.
A statement issued after a long
i night cabinet session put the en
tire blame for the U. S. break in
diplomatic relations with Cuba on
the Eisenhower Administration.
The outgoing U. S. Administration
was also accused of “threatening
with other aggressions worse and
much more serious,” an obvious
reference to Cuba’s charges that
American invasion is imminent.
( The statement expressed the
hope that relations would be re
established “when the governors
of the United States finally under
stand that it is possible to main
tain sincere and friendly rela
tions with the people of Cuba on
the basis of respect for their
sovereign rights, their ligitimate
interests and their national dig
nity.” \,
The statement made no speci
fic mention of President-elect
Joh > F. Kennedy, but the govern
ment radio-TV network through
out Wednesday had emphasized
that Kennedy did not participate
in the decision to break relations.
Kennedy during the Presidential
campaign criticized the Castro
regime harshly, and the Cuban
Prime Minister in turn called the
Democratic candidate an “ignor
ant, illiterate, beardless kid.”
