Soviet caves in Cuba hide ammo and vehicles say officials
Maj. Gen. Alva R. Fitch told the Senate Armed Services subcommittee that the Soviets may store ammunition, military vehicles and aircraft in thousands of caves in Cuba. Aerial photos show roads leading to cave sites and access is barred to Cuban military officials. He ruled out hidden offensive missiles, saying no nuclear warheads are believed in Cuba though possible. Fitch noted increased heavy equipment in Cuba and that cave activity appears to be Soviet run. The report also cited political criticism of the Kennedy administration. In Lexington, Ky a separate note says Herman McGuire’s income tax evasion trial nears final arguments.
