Kennedy challenges critics on Cuba policy in press conference
President Kennedy said critics would have to say if they favor war to topple Fidel Castro and argued the United States has done enough to show hostility to a Soviet satellite in the Caribbean. He rejected Keating and Nixon proposals, noting 4,000 to 5,000 Cuban exiles have not proven capable of toppling Castro. In Baytown, four candidates for two city council seats wind up campaigns with no clear ticket, two incumbents facing challengers and two new contenders for the runoff. Precinct changes and polling places across Baytown are listed for the runoff.
