Wave of Bombings
Strike Cities in Cuba
By Robert Berrellez
HAVANA (Ah—A wave of bomb
ings by enemies of Prime Minister |
Fidel Castro has spread from |
Havana to provincial cities. Ex
plosions were reported yesterday
in Camaguey, Matanzas, Jovel
lanos and Havana. Sugar cane
fields also were burned.
Castro has repeatedly blamed
past burnings on “Yankee Im
perialists” supposedly trying to j
destroy Cuba’s main cash crop. He
had used cane field burnings in
his own revolution against the
Fulgencio Batista dictatorship.
Bombings in Havana have be
come more or less routine in re
cent weeks.
Opposition to the bearded die- j
tator among labor groups was evi
dent as the giant Cuban Labor
Confederation summoned leaders
of member union to boot out the
bosses of the rebellious Electrical
Workers Union—the first workers
group to stand up openly in the
defiance of Castro.
Amaury Fraginals, boss of the
electricians, led is union in a
march on the presidential palace
Friday evening, shouting “Cuba
si, Russia no.” Fraginals sought a
conference with President Osvaldo
Dorticos.
Fraginals and Fidel Iglesias,
another electrical worker leader,
have been termed traitors by the
Labor Confederation.
The government-controlled Con
federation now appears ready to
strip both men of authority.
Dr. Lee McKinley will return
Dec. 30. remaining until Jan. 3.

Chrysler.
Each member of the Alaska

New Airfield, New School
Dedicated in Bethel
BETHEL, OPl — Stormy skies
cleared here Sunday and the sun
shone brightly if not warmly on
all-day ceremonies dedicating a
new airfield and school.
A special Northern Consolidated
Airlines flight carrying 44 guests
from southeastern and central
Alaska touched down on the new
airfield just as the sun rose.
Gov. Wm. A. Egan stepped
from the plane to be greeted by
a special Air Force honor guard
from Eielson Air Force Base and
Bethel officials. The party moved
directly to a new airport main
tenance building where dedica
tion ceremonies began.
Ben Smit, Secretary of the City
Council, welcomed the visitors on
behalf of Council President Dr.
Harriet Jackson who was unable
to attend.
Smit said that “The situation of
Bethel is such that it should out
shine Anchorage in no time” but
meanwhile the community
roads, sanitation and harbor im
provements.
Egan told the visitors and a
large segment of Bethel’s 1,200
people that this “great day for
Bethel” will soon be followed by
great days for other areas of the
state. Voter approval of bond is
sues in the last election indi
cates recognition of the need for
.community improvements, he
said.
Kicharci Downing, commissioner
of Public Works, Education Com
missioner Dr. T. J. Norby and
Aviation Division Director Gene
Roguszka stressed the need for
cooperation by the people and all
branches of government to achieve
such improvements as the new
Bethel facilities.
Following the school dedication
and an official inspection of the
incomplete National Guard Ar
mory adjoining the school, an en
tertainment program starring
cowboy and recording star Tex
Ritter was held in the community
center.
