Kennedy expands Cuba embargo to halt all imports
President Kennedy orders a broad embargo on Cuban imports, cutting Cuba’s potential yearly revenue by about $33 million. Food and medicine sales to Cuba will continue, and airline and telephone links remain, while air and sea patrols intensify. Diplomatic efforts and an OAS meeting target allied alignment and an antisubversion strategy in the Caribbean. Cuban cigar manufacturing, especially in Tampa, faces a major blow as Cuban tobacco accounts for about 9 percent of last year’s $85 million Cuba purchases for U.S. consumers.

Washington February 3 AP Sen Francis Case said congressional self restraint requires a showdown between Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara and a Senate investigating subcommittee. McNamara and the panel remain at loggerheads over his refusal to name Pentagon censors who altered anti Communist speeches prepared for delivery by military officers. He said he would shoulder full responsibility to protect subordinates morale. Case argued officials could invoke executive privilege if they refuse, and the subcommittee should decide if the claim is proper.
