Made Fearsome
Stronghold for U.S.
GUANTANAMO, Cuba i/P> — In
just three weeks the U.S. Nava!
Base in eastern Cuba has been
transformed into a fearsome
stronghold.
The changes brought on by the
Cuban crisis are startling.
' The base is bristling with com
bat-ready Marines brought here
within five hours after they re
ceived orders at Camp Pendleton,
Calif.
Prior to the naval quarantine
President Kennedy announced Oct.
22, this base was a relatively
phoprfnl nlnrp wivoc tonH
ed flower gardens and their chil
dren attended school here.
The families were whisked out
on short notice. Now bicycles lean
forlornly against deserted porches
and the gardens stand neglected.
Marines have dug in at outposts
ringing the fenced base. All ap
proaches are guarded by sand
bagged checkpoints. The Marines
carry new M-14 rifles and light
machine guns.
Tents dot the lush golf course
and catus-covered hillsides.
] Newsmen were allowed on the
j base Friday for the first time
since the quarantine went into
effect against Cuba.
! Literally scores of concrete
block pillboxes with interlocking
fields of fire have appeared.
Some still are unfinished. Those
completed are little fortresses in
themselves, banked with earth and
topped with sandbags and steel
plates.
Rear Adm. Edward O’Donnell,
the base commander, said there
were no signs of a Cuban military
buildup around Guantanamo, al
though an estimated 7,000 to 10,000
Cuban soldiers and militiamen re
main on duty around the base.
