Castro Attacks Catholic Cardinal and Advances Soviet Ties
In a 31 hour speech Fidel Castro denounced Cardinal Arteaga as Judas and pushed Cuba deeper into the Soviet orbit. He announced nationalization of banking and seizure of the Bank of Nova Scotia, while an aid pact with the Soviet Union valued at 168 million dollars was hinted at to address sugar shortages. The cardinal could not comment. The church has criticized Communist influence as Cuba faces economic strain.
