Thought For Today . . .
One doesn’t want men of ex
perience working for him. The ex
perienced man is always telling
one why something can’t be done.
! He is smart: he is intelligent; he
knows the answers. The fellow
who has not had any experience
is so dumib he doesn’t know a
thing can’t be done — and he
goes ahead and does it.

(laslro's Support
Increases - Terror
Keigus in Cuba
By The Associated Press
A crackdown on religion. Ter
ror. Jails overcrowded to the point
that private homes are used as
prisons. Increased support for
Fidel Castro.
This is Cuba as pictured by per
sons who saw it only Monday.
They were the first to arrive
aboard Cubana Airlines planes in
New York and Mexico City since
the abortive invasion of the island
last week.
Many of the 38 who flew into
Mexico City were hesitant to dis
cuss what they had seen. Many,
like most of the 62 who arrive !
in New York, insisted on a ooy
mity.
A foreigner, who told a Mexico
City newsman he feared remdsa’s
if his named was used, said 'here
had been a sharp increase in ar
rests of priests and other reli
gious leaders since the invasion.
He said about 20 leaders of a
Protestant school were rounded
up and taken away by Castro au
thorities. Another passenger inter
jected that priests were being ar
rested along with politicians.
“Estimates run from 50,000 to
a million prisoners arrested in the
past few days,” the second man
said. “Jails and penitentiaries are
so crowded Castroites are taking
over large homes to house them.”
An arrival in New York said
“there is nothing but an atmos
phere of terror in Cuba.”
Despite the talk of terror, there
, were some who felt Castro has
j gained strength since his Soviet
armed forces threw back the
i rebel invasion.
“Before the invasion, 50 per cent
' of the people were for Castro,”
; said Harry Dolansky of Montreal.
“After the invasion, the country
i was unified behind him.”
Captured Invaders Appear
On Cuban Television Show
Monitored In Key West
KEY WEST, Fla. L/P — Invaders
reportedly captured by F'idcl Cas
tro's troops demanded death,
showed indifference or begged for
mercy in a television show from
Cuba Tuesday.
A priest, a man who claimed he
won the U.S. Medal of Honor and
a pro-Castro police corporal ac
cused of brutalities were among
the captives interrogated in a 1
runing propaganda series aimed
at convincing the Cuban people
that the United States engineered
the ill-fated invasion.
The telecast, monitored in this !
F'lorida city, lasted more than
four hours.
The prisoners, who indicated
they were aware of the firing
squad threat pronounced by Cas
tro, agreed with interrogators that
they were duped into thinking the
Cuban people would join their
cause.
A man who claimed to be
Manuel Perez Garcia and claimed
he killed 83 Japanese and won
the Medal of Honor in World War
II, jumped up and shouted, “If ‘
this nation loves F'idel Castro, let
it shoot me.”
In Washington, the Pentagon ;
said Manuel Perez Garcia died in
battle and received the Medal of
Honor posthumously.
Segundo de las Floras Cabo,
who said he is a Spanish - born
priest who formerly served in
Cuba and parachuted with the in
vaders, said he was sorry and
“would like to make amends.”
Wm. Brookins, pioneer Council
ite, returned yesterday to spend
the summer at his home in Coun
cil as he does every year. Brook
ins, who is 96 years old, can recall
the colorful days of Council when
it was a thriving community, and
he still enjoys prospecting.
