Castro Nervous as !
Havana Leaflet
Raids Continue
By RICHARD VALERIANA
HAVANA. (£1 — Mysterious
planes slipped past Cuban Air
Force patrols and showered Ha
vana with more antigovernment
leaflets Friday.
The raids were the latest in a
series that began Wednesday —
a day that brought the most vio
let show of opposition to Fidel
Castro since he took over the
Cuban government New Year’s
Day.
Castro charged that revolu
tionary planes based in the United
States carried out the raids. He
denounced U. S. authorities for
failing to halt them.
He is expected to take quick
advantage of a U. S. Federal Bur
eau of Investigation report Friday
that former Cuban revolutionary
air chief Pedro Diaz Lanz ad
mitted flying a leaflet plane over
Havana Wednesday.
The disclosure is expected to
bring new and stronger demands
from Castro that Washington take
action against Cuban refugees in
the United States wanted by his
government for trial as war
criminals.
Diaz Lanz, now living in Mi
ami, Fla., fled Cuba last July. He
charged that Castro is a Commu
nist and his regime is riddled with
Reds.
Diaz Lanz laughed at Castro’s
claim that the leaflet planes had
dropped bombs on Havana.
“Those who were killed and
wounded were hit by wild fire
from irresponsible soldiers at the
antiaircraft guns and by anti
Castro people driving through the
streets,” he said.
Maj. Hubert Matos, the military
commander in Camaguey Prov
ince, again raised the issue of
Communist infiltration in resign
ing last week.
The scholarly 40-year-old Ma
tos, who fought with Castro in j
the mountains, was arrested and
denounced as a traitor by his old !
friend.
Matos and 30 junior officers ]
who resigned with him, reported
ly are being held at an army pris
on near here. There was no re
port on whether he had been for
mally arraigned on the treason
charge.

Patrolman Refuses Aid to
Birth-Giving Woman
MIAMI. Fla., Of) — Dicsipline
will be recommended for a motor
cycle policeman accused of refus
ing to help a mother who de
livered her own baby in an
automobile.
Lt. A. G. Tombley said he had
questioned Oficer C. W. Smith
closely about the incident and that
Smith at first was unable to re
member it.
“I find it hard to believe that
a man could forget an incident of
this nature so easily in less than
24 hours,” said Tombley.
Smith denied he knew Mrs.
Rudy Blakey had given birth. He
called the incident “a terrible
misunderstanding.”
Blakey, 27, an aircraft mechan
ic, said he was “driving like
crazy” about 6:30 p.m. Wednes
day as his wife delivered an 8
pound, 11-ounce boy. A few blocks
farther along his wife saw Smith
on his motorcycle.
“She recognized him as an old
school friend and the husband of
a girl friend of hers,” Blakey
said. “She rolled down the win
dow and said, ‘Please, Billy, help
me.’ We wanted him to escort us
to the hospital. He said he
couldn’t escort us but he’d follow.”
“He followed us for a couple of
blocks and then turned off.”
Smith said he didn’t hear any
one call him by name.
“The car window was rolled up
part of the time, the motorcycle
was making noise, and I assumed
the woman had a facial injury
because she was holding a ban
dage acros her face,” he said.
What Smith took to be a ban
dage was a handkerchief. Mrs.
Blakey said she was biting on it.
Police said a regulation pro
hibits officers from escorting pri
vate vehicles because excited
drivers sometimes cause acci
dents.

South Pole Treaty
Sought for Nations
Exploring There
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
WASHINGTON, — The
United States, the Soviet Union
and ten other nations have
agreed that the scientific cooper
ation they began in the Antarctic
more than two years ago should j
be continued under a proposed
new treaty.
The treaty could make the
South Pole continent a laboratory
of international accord.
The agreement was announced
in a communique issued Friday
night by the 12-nation conference
on Antarctica. The conference
opened October 15 and the com
munique said that “satisfactory
progress is being made.”
The overall objective of the
meeting is to produce a treaty
which -would commit all the par
ticipating countries to use the
frozen wasteland around the
South Pole for peaceful and scien
tific purposes and to avoid fric
tion caused by pressing rival ter
ritorial claims.
One more big obstacle is in
the way. This is the drafting of a
provision by which all 12 coun
tries would agree that pending
territorial claims would be put
into a “deep freeze,” as President
Eisenhower once expressed it.
The countries which have made
such claims are Argentina, Aus
tralia, Chile, France. New Zea
land, Norway and Britain. In ad
dition to these seven and the
United States and the Soviet
Union, the other conference par
ticipants are Belgium, Japan and
South Africa.

Top Cabinet Officials
Discuss Budget Problems
WASHINGTON, CSV—The three
top members of President Eisen
hower’s cabinet concerned with
U. S. foreign policy and financing
met for about two hours Saturday
at the State Department. They
discussed military budget prob
lems.
Secretary of Defense Neil Mc
Elroy said that “We’re getting
into budget making time, and
there are certain problems in the
military budget” which relate to
treasury problems, and also “re
late to the support we can give
our diplomatic position abroad.”
Therefore, McElroy said, he,
Secretary of State Herter and
Secretary of the Treasury Robert
Anderson had talked about the
projected new military budget as
it related to diplomatic and treas
ury planning.
