Soviet bloc floods Cuba with cargo ships and aid
U S sources say the Soviet and allied ships arrived at about 40 vessels in the past month, far higher than earlier pace. The shipments include food, equipment, and military gear to support Fidel Castro, with total aid seen at over 1 million dollars daily in earlier estimates and a 200 million dollar military aid projection for the year. The White House notes a planned U S quarantine to curb Cuban shipping, facing foreign opposition and continuing high port activity in Havana and other Cuban ports.
