Klirushc*hev Says
JFK Is Following
A Dangerous Path
MOSCOW (.Ti — Soviet Premier
Nikita Khrushchev told President
Kennedy Saturday the invasion
of Cuba is “a crime which has
revolted the whole world.”
“It has been established in
controvertibly that it was the
United States that prepared the
intervention, financed, armed and
transported the mercenary bands
which invaded Cuba,” Khrushchev
said in a message to President
Kennedy, handed to E. L. Freers,
U. S. Charge d’ Affaires.
Khrushchev was replying to a
communication several days ago
from Kennedy.
As distributed by Tass, the So
viet News Agency, the Khrush
chev statement referred to a Ken
nedy statement that rockets that
might be used against the United
States could be stationed in Cuba,
with the inference that this posed
problems for the United States
in relation to the whole Western
Hemisphere.
“Mr. President, you are follow
ing a very dangerous path,”
Khrushchev said. “Ponder that.”
The Soviet Premier went on to
mention the situation in the Far
East. He contended the United
States had seized Formosa, and
said this started the United States
“on the road of plunder.”
He said the United States
threatens war in case Communist
China moves for unity with For
mosa.
“And this being done by a na
tion which was officially recog
nized that Taiwain (Formosa) be
longs to China,” Khrushchev said.

Gen. Taylor to Make
Survey of U. S. Capabilities
For Guerrilla Warfare
WASHINGTON UR — President
Kennedy Saturday appointed Gen.
Maxwell D. Taylor, former Army
Chief of Staff, to make a special
survey of U. S. capabilities in the
field of "nonconventional warfare
such as guerrilla activity.
Pierre Salinger, White House
Press Secretary, said that “non
conventional” warfare in this
case is not used in the usual sense
of nuclear warfare but of tacti
cal operations.
Salinger said Kennedy decided
within the last few days that such
a survey is necessary and asked
Taylor Friday to conduct it.
The study clearly was inspired
by events of the past week in
Cuba.
Pressed by newsmen for the
purpose Kennedy has in mind in
designating Taylor to conduct a
study of a specialized phase of
military operations, Salinger cited
the last paragraph of Kennedy’s
speech two days ago before a
group of the American Society of
Newspaper Editors.
“We intend to profit from this
lesson. We intend to re-examine
and re-orient our forces of all
kinds — our tactics and other
[ institutions here in this com- !
munity. We intend to intensify
our efforts for a struggle in many
ways more difficult than war, j
where disappointment will often
I accompany us.”

ing before all courts on the first

of Cuba and 86 other Cubans who
have taken refuge in the Vene
zuelan Embassy in Havana.
The group includes Urrutia’s
wife and three children. The fam
ily took refuge in the embassy
last Friday, the ministry said.
Brazil and Argentina
Pledge to Fight
Com in u nis t Pe n e t rat ion
UR UGUAI AN A, Brazil W —
Brazil and Argentina pledged
themselves Friday night to fight
Communist penetration in the
Western Hemisphere and backed
President Kennedy’s “alliance for
progress” program for Latin
America.
In a historic move, Presidents
Janio Quadros of Brazil and Ar
turo Frondizi of Argentina also
agreed to consult each other per
manently on all common matters
;^pd to coordinate all their actions
within the continent. It is the first
time in history South America’s
two biggest nations have joined
in such close cooperation, one vet
eran diplomat said.
The leaders ended a two-day
conference here by issuing four
documents: A declaration of p'in
ciples, amounting to a firm sta’vl
against Communist penetration in
to Latin America; the convention
on friendship and permanent con
sultation; and two decla a'in s
dealing with economic and cul
tural matters.
Quadros and Frondizi were full
of praise for Kennedy’s Latin
American program.
Quotable notable: “From mid
dle age on everything of interest
is either illegal, immoral or fat
tening.” —Alexander Woolcott.

Kennedy and Eisenhower
Discuss Cuban Crisis
CAMP DAVID. Md. UP — Presi
dent Kennedy and former Presi
dent Eisenhower conferred on the 1
Cuban crisis Saturday. When it
concluded, Eisenhower called on ,
all Americans to support the
President in his stand on for
eign affairs.
Kennedy’s purpose apparently ]
was to help rally strong national <
support for whatever further
steps he thinks this country must •
take in the Cuban crisis. ;
Speaking briefly with newsmen
after the talks, Kennedy said he i
invited Eisenhower in to “bring i
him up to date on recent events.” •
Kennedy said he also sought the
benefits of Eisenhower’s “thoughts
and experience.”
Eisenhower was asked if he sup
ported Kennedy’s outspoken posi
tion on Cuba. Eisenhower did not
answer directly, but said:
“I am all in favor of the United
States supporting the man who
has to carry the responsibility for
our foreign affairs.”
Just before that Eisenhower was
asked what he had to say about 1
his conversation with Kennedy.
“It is very nice to be in a posi
tion where you are not expected
or really even allowed to say any
thing,” Eisenhower replied.

Swedes Float
.mYear-Old
Sunken Warship
STOCKHOLM. Sweden tP* —
The broken superstructure of a
14,000-ton man-of-war which can
sized on her maiden voyage three
centuries ago emerged from the
harbor today and thousands of
Swedes cheered,
A salvage crew began raising
the Wasa, once the flagship of
Sweden’s warrior King Gustavus
Adolphus. The sunken hulk is
cradled in a special net of nine
inch steel wires attached to pon
toons.
The Wasa went down on Aug.
10, 1628 in full battle array, to
the dismay of her designers.
Through the centuries all at
tempts to raise her have failed.
Navy frogmen and divers spent
more than 1,500 hours below sur
face working on the wreck,
strengthening the hulk with bolts
and braces.
When the rails of the Wasa
reach the surface in the next few
days, pumps will be lowered into
her hull. By the middle of May
the vessel is expected to float
ing again. Then she will be towed
to a dock and converted into a
museum.
