Surveillance Cut of Soviet Activity Alarmed Miami
The Miami Herald reports U S surveillance of Soviet military activity in Cuba has been curtailed causing an intelligence gap. Low level flights paused since Feb and high level U2 flights limited. Reports on Cuban exile raids also stifled. Washington officials worry over lack of data on tents and missiles in Cuban caves and rail line constriction near a major Soviet camp. The slowdown is tied to President Kennedy's policy stance to avoid tipping the balance in Cuba. Congressional leaders debate potential consequences of conciliation.
