Republicans urge hard line on Cuba policy push
A 24 member Republican Critical Issues Council urged the Johnson administration to declare readiness to use military force if needed to remove international communism from Cuba. The plan calls for ending U S curbs on anti Castro activists and backing a Cuban government in exile to rally 300000 refugees. Democratic leaders dismissed the move as crude and political, noting Castro rose to power under Eisenhower.

Methodists Adopt Integration Proposal
