Castro Draws
Huge Crowds In
Support Of Trials
By ROBERT BERRELLEZ
HAVANA, UP—With the shouted
support of more than half a mil
lion Cubans, Fidel Castro contin
ues his campaign to justify to the
world the execution of Batista
henchmen.
Havana’s first showcase trial
of Batistans charged with murder
and atrocities opened Thursday.
The capitol’s first defendants are
three officers in the dictator’s
army, and the scene is the 17,000
seat Sports Palace which Batista
built.
Nearly 1,000 witnesses wearing
the colorful clothes of their rural
areas, were in town for the trials.
Castro said on Wednesday that
“Cuba will ask a revision and
nullification of onerous conces
sions given foreign enterprises by
the government of Batista.”
Castro singled out only the Cu
ban Telephone Co., part of the es
timated billion-dollar American
investment in Cuba. This com
pany, an affiliate of the Interna
tional Telephone & Telegraph Co.,
got permission from Batista two
years ago to raise its rates to jus
tify expansion investments.
The telephone company is
among Cuban and American firms
whose advance payments on taxes
due in March helped pour $6,278,
000 into the revolutionary govern
ment’s treasury up to January 20.
It paid $500,000.
“Telephone rates are going to be
lowered,” Castro said.
The rally in front of the Presi
dential Palace attracted a large
part of Havana’s 1,200,000 resi
dents, plus many more from out
lying provinces of this island re
public of 6,410.000.
Castro referred to the mass as
numbering a million. Unofficial
observers guessed between 500,000
and 750.000 jammed the park in
front of the palace and streets for
blocks on each side.
Castro asked last week for a
j turnout of half a million to sup
| port the executions, despite^for
! eign criticism, and to back de
j mands for extradition of some Ba
| tista followers.
j “All those who demand that
j gunmen be punished raise their
J hands,” Castro shouted. A sea of
arms waved back as the crowd
roared.
