Hafer Denies Talking of Communist Takeover
Cumberland undertaker John J. Hafer denied claiming that about 130 communists were ready to seize key posts in Hagerstown if a Communist move occurred. He said his Washington County Farm Bureau speech outlined possible outcomes in any town and was not aimed at Hagerstown. Hafer has traveled to Europe and made remarks about the Iron Curtain. The Royal Bank of Canada said Cuban customers were sold to Banco Nacional de Cuba after nationalization under Fidel Castro, with the bank's Cuban assets and branches affected.
