Castro Move Seen as Bid For Red Aid
The Castro regime appears to have rushed to declare itself socialist in the Soviet sense to gain Khrushchev protection against U.S. moves. Kennedy warns Washington will act to block Communist penetration in the Western Hemisphere, possibly via embargo or pressure on OAS members. Fidel Castro fronts for a Communist party takeover, as the invasion aftermath pushes Havana toward Moscow. The Kremlin’s restraint is noted, with risk to Castro if party power becomes entrenched.
