Was Air Cover Promised for Invasion ?
Florida Newspaper Says
Air Cover Was Canceled
By Presidential Order
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. W—
A Florida newspaper editor said
Thursday President Kennedy dis
closed a month after the ill-fated
Cuban invasion that air cover was
canceled by Presidential order.
Jack Gore, editor and publisher
of the Fort Lauderdale News, said
Kennedy related that U.N. Ambas
sador Adlai Stevenson was con
cerned that “any such action
would make a liar out of him in
the United Nations.”
Gore and six other Florida news
paper executives visited the Presi
dent at the White House on May
10, 1961. He said after the con
ference Sen. George Smathers, (D
Fla.), “noted that he hoped that
all the Florida editors will under
stand the President’s comments
were offered off the record.”
“Along with the other Florida
newspaper executives,” Gore wrote,
“the News accepted this request
and has honored it for almost two
years. What Atty. Gen. Robert
Kennedy hoped to accomplish by
coming out at this late date and
denying that any air cover had
ever been planned, the News can
not fathom.
“When the brother of the Presi
dent of the United States, however,
conducts an official autopsy of the
sorry affair and makes official
comments which are in direct con
trast to the words of the Presi
dent, the News feels that any off
the-record pledge which might ap
ply must be removed in the quest
for truth.”
The Attorney General told news
men Monday that no U.S. air
cover was ever promised Cuban
rebels for the 1961 invasion of
their homeland.
NOME RATE IS 37.8 PCT.
JUNEAU UPl — Labor Commis
sioner Gil Johnson said Thursday
Alaska’s insured unemployment
rate for the week ending Jan. 19
was 16.2 per cent, compared with
16.0 per cent during the previous
week.
Johnson attributed the increase
to the continued filing of benefit
claims by commercial fishermen
and construction workers who have
been laid off for some time.
Continued unemployment totaled
5,281, while new unemployment
amounted to 741.
Insured unemployment by area
included Anchorage, 14.7 per cent;
Fairbanks, 18.2; Juneau, 13.0; Ket
chikan, 19.1; Nome, 37.8; Peters
burg, 34.3; and Sitka, 8.2.

Ike Says No Plans Were
Drawn Up for Air Cover
During His Administration
NEW YORK — Former Pres
ident Dwight Eisenhower said in
a television interview broadcast
Wednesday night that no plan was
drawn up during his administra
tion for a U.S. air cover for a re
fugee invasion of Cuba.
Asked about the decision not
to use U.S. air power in the dis
astrous Bay of Pigs invasion in
1961 after he was out of office,
Eisenhower said of his own ad
ministration:
“There was no way. We didn’t
even know at that time whether
these refugees would be sufficient
ly numerous and strong to do more
than go into the eastern part of
the island, in the mountains, and
start a counter-revolution.
“We more or less were think
ing of guerrilla type action until
we could get enough forces to do
more than that. We did hope to
get there to find a man that was
acceptable to the Cuban people.
That was our general feeling, but
there was no specific strategic or
tactical plan developed before I
had left.”
However, Eisenhower was not
specific in saying whether by
“strategic or tactical plan” he
meant one that would include only
air cover or one that would in
clude an overall invasion of Cuba.
His reference to the “strategic
or tactical plan” was made as part
of an answer to a question wheth
er the air cover plan was made
during his administration. But in
answer, he discussed some of the
objectives of such an invasion and
never specifically referred to an
“air cover plan.”

Russian Radio Editor
Defects to Sweden
STOCKHOLM — A program
editor of Moscow radio, who wa it
ed to see for himself what the
West was like, has defected to
Sweden.
At a news conference, Vladik
Krasnov, 25, said he escaped fr m
his Russian party as it toured a
Stockholm department store Oct.
28.
“I just slipped away in the
crowd,” he said.
Krasnov told reporters he had
been working as editor and re
write man in the Swedish section
of Moscow radio. His work gave
him unusual opportunities to read
foreign newspapers.
‘‘A new world opened for me.”
he said. “I felt I had to travel and
see what the world really was
like outside the Soviet Union.
Krasnov has been granted po
litical asylum in Sweden.
It was James Branch Cabell who
observed, “The optimist procla ms
that we live in the best of all pos
sible worlds, and the pessimist
fears this is true.”
