Fidel Hints Continued From Page One
Cuban leader Fidel Castro faces continued pressure as underground leaders appeal to the U S and free world for aid to prevent a Cuba Hungary scenario. They blame U S Navy for aiding Castro by delaying the invasion and argue rebels were weakened by seasickness. Castro’s firing squads have killed 63 this year and over 600 since his rise. In Matanzas 53 civilians are on trial for counterrevolutionary activity with death as punishment. In Guatemala City, Fuentes accuses Castro of using Chinese Com to torture captured rebels. Two men were executed in Matanzas last Saturday for anti Castro activity.

Cuba Invasion Flaws Spur Broad Review Ordered
U S officials say the Cuban debacle exposed two major miscalculations: underestimating Fidel Castro’s air and police power and the timing to mobilize forces. The Kennedy administration plans a wide survey led by General Maxwell D Taylor to study subversion methods without turning it into a Cuba inquiry. Despite mistakes, Kennedy backs CIA chief Allen W Dulles and avoids scapegoating.
