U.S. REPORT GIVES
RUNDOWN ON CUBA’S
MILITARY MTGHT
WASHINGTON — The Unit
ed States estimated Tuesday that
Premier Fidel Castro’s regime in
Cuba has received $100 million
worth of equipment and technical
military advice from the Soviet
Union and other members of the
Communist bloc.
A summary issued by the State
Department said “there is no evi
dence that the Soviet Union has
supplied Cuba with missiles, or
that missile bases are under con
struction in Cuba.”
The summary also said that no
Soviet bombers are known to have
been delivered to Cuba.
The estimate of Communist bloc
arms and military equipment sup- j
plied to Cuba in the last 18 months
included:
Fifty to 75 Mig jet fighters; 150
to 250 medium and heavy tanks;
50 to 100 assault guns; 500 to 1,000
field artillery; 500 mortars; 200,000
small arms and some patrol vessels
and motor torpedo boats.
In issuing the statement on the
Cuban military buildup, the State
Department said only that it was
issued in response to numerous re
quests for “up to date information
on this subject.”
U.S. Stockpiles Nerve Gas
WASHINGTON UP) — Asst. Sec
retary of the Army Finn Larsen
says the Army is making consider
able progress in developing a
nerve gas that could incapacitate
large populations for several hours
without doing premanent injury.
And he says the Russians are stock
piling large amounts of a similar
gas.
His statements came in testi
mony before the Senate Armed
Services Committee which was
made public Monday.
Larsen agreed with the chairman,
Sen. Richard Russell, (D-Ga.), tha1
the gas could be used by Russia ir
an attempt to cripple the Westerr
European industrial complex with
out destroying it.
PICKETS THE PICKETS . . .
KINGSVILLE, Tex. (A — Arab
students picketing the Texas
Theater because of its showing of
the movie “Exodus” had competi
! tion Monday.
Bill Diamond of Lake Jackson,
Tex., started picketing the pickets.
The Arabs, Students at Texas
Arts and Industrial College, claim
the movie which depicts the strug
gle between Jews and Arabs for
control of Israel, is unfair to their
people.
Diamond, also a Texas A & I
student, said he thought it was a
fair presentation.
“Of course,” he said, “I’m
Jewish.”
\ JACKIE TAKES A
DAY OFF IN LONDON
LONDON UP) — Mrs. Jacqueline
Kennedy, reveling in doing nothing
for a change, bought two smart
hats Tuesday without stirring from
the home of her sister near Buck
ingham Palace.
She slept late, handed out gifts
to her brother-in-law, Prince Stan
islaw Radziwill, and his two chil
dren, enjoyed a lunch of brook
trout and caught up with newspaper
accounts of her 17-day trip to
Italy, India and Pakistan.
Jay Gildner, assistant White
House press secretary, was busier.
He briefed newsmen on the days
activities of the First Lady, and
explained how Mrs. Kennedy’s
Secret Service protection works.
Reports in some London papers
that Mrs. Kennedy was accom
panied by 20 “black-coated G
Men” were described by Gildner
as “totally erroneous.”
He said only one Secret Service
agent accompanied her here, but
more were used when she arrived
last night because big crowds were
expected.
Other American sources said 17
men guarded the First Lady when
she arrived but 16 were security
officers from the U.S. Embassy.
Scotland Yard took an amused
view of such numbers. “The idea
of 17 bloody sceurity men is ridi
culous,” a Yard spokesman said.

In Paret-Griffith Fight
ALBANY, N.Y. UP) — The State
Athletic Commission upheld Tues
day the referee's judgment and the
medical precautions in the near
fatal Paret-Griffith welterweight

Rockefeller to report on the tragic
fight, told the governor:

medical precaution had been taken
prior to the contest and referee
(Ruby) Goldstein acted in good
judgment in stopping the fight
when he did.”
Rockefeller released the report to
the public with sole comment —
“I and my staff are giving full
consideration to the report.”

NBA President
Says Boxing Must
Not Be Annihilated
TACOMA <*> — Dr, Charles P.
Larson, president of the National
Boxing Assn., said Tuesday that
boxing, “the only true international
sport,” must not be annihilated be
cause of the Benny Paret tragedy.
The Tacoma pathologist noted
that “throughout the world the
panic button has been pushed” be
cause of the serious injury suffered
by Paret in a fight in New York
with Emile Griffith for the world
welterweight championship.
“Boxing is sick, to be sure,” he
said, “but to kill the patient be
cause he is sick is certainly wrong.
A major airplane crash does not
call for condemnation of the whole
industry.
“A cure is possible with patience.
I hope we can now get along with
the job to the end that the only
true international sport is preserved
from emotional annihilation.”
Larson said the NBA welcomes
“a thorough airing of the Paret
situation in every possible forum.”
He also said the New York Athletic
Commission should not be blamed
for the incident.
“It would seem that the Paret
incident, while tragic to the fighter
and his family, may have its com
pensating factors in terms of the
future of boxing,” Larson said in
his first statement since the Paret
Griffith fight Saturday.
“Throughout the world the panic
button has been pushed. It has
even been said that all of us con
nected with boxing are of ill re
pute.
“Undoubtedly, the easiest answer
for all responsible agents of state
athletic commissions and officers
of the NBA would be to beat a
hasty retreat in .light of all this
overpowering negative publicity.”
| Larson noted, however, that only
! a month ago the Boxing Education
and Research Foundation was in
corporated to thoroughly study and
arrive at solutions to the ills of
boxing.
He said a uniform safety code
involving all aspects of health and
safety for fighters has been giyen
a top priority.
