Would Bar Federal Funds
In Programs Involving
Racial Discrimination
WASHINGTON UD —Sen. Philip
Hart, D-Mich., said he is prepar
ing a bill which would prohibit
use of federal funds in programs
which involve racial discrimina
tion.
He told a news conference that
the bill would apply the nondis
crimination formula to all federal
aid-to-states programs.
He made the announcement in
commenting on a recommendation
Tuesday by the Commission on
Civil Rights that President Ken
nedy looked into his legal author
ity to withhold federal funds from
Mississippi until that state ends
alleged discriminatory practices.
The report centered on what it
called “open and flagrant violation
of constitutional guarantees of
Negroes seeking to register to
vote.”
The White House said Kennedy
has received the report. He is just
back from his Easter vacation in
Florida.
Hart said the Commission should
be commended for its position. But
at the same time he said the re
commendation will make it more
difficult to pass legislation ex
tending the life of the Commis
sion, now due to expire next fall.
“I would agree that spending
federal money anywhere in sup
port of discriminatory programs
is wrong,” he said.

MORE THAN 200 CUBAN EXILE GROUPS
CONFUSEDLY SEEK CASTRO DOWNFALL
Editor’s note—Nobody knows
for sure how many Cuban exile
organizations have established
themselves on U. S. territory.
Here is a close look at the prin
cipal ones, in the second of four
special articles.
By WILLIAM L. RYAN
AP Special Correspondent
MIAMI, Fla. — Lock five
Cubans in a room, give them a
political problem to solve and they
will emerge with five organiza
tions to do the job.
At least, that’s how it seems to
the outsider wandering about Lit
tle Havana, Miami’s city within a
city.
It is doubtful anyone in Miami
can say how many Cuban exile
organizations exist. Estimates run
as high as 200 or more. They come
and go in bewildering confusion.
Only about 30 deserve to be call
ed organizations at all.
Each proclaims itself dedicated
to the overthrow of Fidel Castro.
There the unity ends and there
seems not the vaguest chance they
ever will be unified.
Today, Miami’s Cuban exiles are
up against a crisis which com
pounds their confusion, and leaves
them in a tumult of frustration.
The United States, apparently
fearing a new and dangerous con
frontation with the Russians, has
taken firm steps to prevent hit
and -run forays against Cuba by
the militant exile groups.
In turn, this brought about a
crisis of relations between Wash
ington and the ten organizations
loosely banded together in the Cu
ban Revolutionary Council. This is
the group formed in March 1961—
with U. S. sponsorship—to mount
the Bay of Pigs invasion which
ended in fiasco just two years ago
this week.
The organizations of militants
which do the raiding and train for
fighting number only five, as far
as can be determined. Their total
Defines an American . . .
One of our automotive friends
has passed along to us this de
finition of an American:
A chap who drinks Brazilian
coffee out of an English teacup
sitting on Danish furniture after
coming home from an Italian movie
in a German automobile and sits
down and writes his congressman
a letter with a Japanese ballpoint
pen demanding that he do some
thing about all the gold that’s leav
ing this country.

LOS ANGELES UPt — Mary
Martha Chaplin won a divorce
after she testified that Charles
Chaplin Jr. deserted her without a
word and that she still doesn’t
know where he is.
She said Chaplin struck her and
left last August.
She also won a lump settlement
from the son of the famed movie
comedian. The amount was not
disclosed.
They were married April 11,
1962. She is 33, he 37.
“There is a point, of course,
where a man must take the iso
lated peak and break with all his
associates for clear principle; but
until that time comes he must
work, if he would be of use, with
men as they are. As long as the
good in them overbalances the evil,
let him work with them for the
best that can be obtained.”

membership in the Miami area
may be no more than a few hun
dred.
Alpha 66 is headed by Antonio
Veciana. It is a small group claim
ing direct contact with under
ground fighters inside Cuba. It
has been involved in four actions,
either by itself or working with
other groups.
Alpha 66 recently joined with
the Second Front of Escambray for
operational purposes. The Miami
leader of the Escambray group is
Andres Nazario Sargent. But one
element of Alpha 66 split away
from it for independent opera
tions. It now calls itself Comman
dos L—for libre, or free.
Working with the Alpha 66
group also is an organization call
ed “The Escambray Front of the
Anti-Communist Cuban Army.” It
is headed by Evelio Duque, 36, a
veteran of Castro’s revolution and
later of guerrilla fighting against
Castro.
The Revolutionary Student Dir
ectorate <DRE) is considered one
of the most effective groups. Its
Miami leader is Luis Fernandez
Rocha. The DRE has branches in
12 of the United States, 13 Latin
American countries and inside
Cuba itself. Its members range in
age from 16 to 29.
DRE leaders are intelligent, re
sourceful and courageous, but
tend to lack the responsibilities
which might cause older men to
consider international consequen
ces. The DRE was first to make
an armed attack on Castro’s Cuba.
Another group believed to be in
volved in active support of the
underground in Cuba is the Junta
Revolutionary Cubana Jure, whose
Miami chief is Rogello Cisneros.
Its headquarters is in Puerto Rico.
Its over-all chief is Manola Ray,
once a Castro lieutenant and a
Castro cabinet minister.
Most ol tne militant organiza
tions, small in themselves, have
assistance from others for fund
collection and other chores. The
DRE, for example, probably has
800 non-combatants in the Miami
area as supporters in depth.
Jose Lanuza, DRE American af
fairs chief, told me he feared the
United States would also place
“economic pressure” on his organ
ization to halt its flow of money.
This seems to indicate that U.S.
authorities are in a position to cut
off sources of DRE funds.
Apart from the concern with
which the United States seems
now to be viewing activities of
these organizations, some sources
in a position to know say it is un
questionable that many exile or
ganizations have been infiltrated
by Castro agents.

State Urges Quick Decision
From FMC On Alaska
Freight Rate Increases
JUNEAU UFl — Atty. Gen. Geo.
Hayes said yesterday the state has
urged a quick final decision by
the Federal Maritime Commission
on a freight rate increase sought
by the Alaska Steamship Co. and
four other carriers in late 1959
and early 1960.
In a petition to expedite filed
with the FMC on April 12 in
Washington, D.C., Hayes said the
state noted that the proceeding has
been pending for more than three
years.
The petition pointed out that the
FMC’s hearing examiner had ruled
more than a year ago that the 10
per cent rate increase sought was
“far in excess of a reasonable rate
of return.’’
The state’s petition said the
Maritime Commission was under
statutory obligation to make de
cisions as speedily as possible.
"The state submits any further
delay would be in derogation of
the commission’s duty and in vio
lation of statutory and constitu
tional rights of shippers and con
sumers in the Alaska trade,” the
state’s petition said.
It was Will Rogers who ob
served, “I don’t make jokes—I
just watch the government and re
port the facts.”

Two Anchorage Widows
Ask $1,752,000 From
I McKinley Climber Day
PORTLAND Off — A federal
judge has ordered a further hear
ing in a $1,752,000 suit by two
Anchorage widows against an Ore
gon mountain climber.
The judge refused to dismiss the
part of the action brought by Mrs.
Robert Thomas Elliott Jr. The
other widow is Mrs. William A.
Stevenson.
Their husbands were killed three
years ago while trying to fly a
light plane to the rescue of John
S. Day, Gold Hill, Ore., who was
injured while climbing Mt. Mc
Kinley.
They filed suits against Day on
the ground he should have known
the climb was dangerous.
Day asked for dismissal of Mrs.
Elliott’s part of the suit on the
ground she had given up her claim
by accepting a $27,000 settlement
from the Stevenson estate.
District Judge Gus Solomon said
he will hear further evidence on
the case July 8.
