Castro Threatens
To Use Bombers to
Check Supply Line
HAVANA (iW — Prime Minister
Fidel Castro threatened Thursday
to arm Cuba with long-range
bombers and convoy Cuban ship
ping unless the United States
clamps down on hit-and-run raids
against Cuba by exile groups.
In a communique Castro held
the United States responsible for
an attack on a Soviet freighter by
Cuban exiles Tuesday night.
“If these attacks continue Cuba
will see herself in a situation of
considering acquisition of long
range bombers as well as a naval
equipment necessary to escort our
merchant ships, protect our supply
lines and repel aggressors,” the
communique said.
Castro’s talk of long-range
bombers was anobvious reference
to the Soviet 750-mile-range jet
bombers the Soviets sent to Cuba
last fall along with medium-range
missiles.
After the United States put a
naval blockade on Cuba, Soviet
Premier Khrushchev agreed to
withdraw the missiles and the
bombers. The U.S. government said
it counted 42 of each on ships
leaving Cuba. The Soviet govern
ment informed Washington in De
cember this was all the so-called
“offensive” weapons it had sent
to Cbba.
The lives of Soviet crewmen
were put in grave danger and the
Merchantman was left seriously
damaged in Tuesday’s raid, Castro
said.
In Miami, a spokesman for the j
anti-Castro commando group said !
the raiders slipped into the port
of Isabela de Sagua on Tuesday
night, attacked the Soviet freighter
and left it “badly in need of re
pairs to keep it from sinking.”
The spokesman said the raiders
returned safely to their base
“somewhere in the Caribbean.”
Castro also charged that “Yankee
agents” sabotaged a Bolivian air
liner which crashed last week in
southern Peru. He said the agents
were after documents carried by
two Cuban couriers on the plane.
Women not only talk more than
men, they also talk faster—about
175 syllables a minute to 150.

Sen. Bradshaw Says
House GOPs Attempt to
Kill Building Use Bill
JUNEAU OP) — The chairman of
the Senate Finance Committee ac
cused House Republicans today of
attempting to kill a bill which
would permit the state to acquire
completed buildings for public use.
Sen. Howard Bradshaw, noted
the measure, SB 177, was referred
by House Speaker Bruce Kendall
to four different House commit
tees, Local Government, State Af
fairs, Judiciary and Finance.
“This type of treatment generally
means that the Speaker wants to
kill the bill,” Bradshaw said. “In
so doing, the Republicans are add
ing a multi-million dollar price
tag to the cost of state govern
ment.
“If this bill and its companion
measure, SB 146, are passed by the
House,” Bradshaw said, “the tax
payers of Alaska will save as much
as $8 million for public buldings
that have already been construct
ed. If these bills do not pass, the
public will wind up paying $18
million for these buildings and all
we’ll have to show for it will be
a handful of rent recepits.
“It is plainly clear that with one
stroke we can save Alaska a sub
stantial amount of money. Failure
by the Republicans to take action
necessary to do this can only mean
that they are putting some special
interests above the best interest
of the people of Alaska.”
While the new Anchorage and
Fairbanks Court Bldgs, the state
will be using under a lease agree
ment are not mentioned in either
bill, it is generally considered that
the two bills apply to state acqui
sition of these two buildings, and
others.

Alaska’s $350,000 Exhibit
At New York World Fair
Called ‘Eskimo Pie In Sky’
JUNEAU LPi — A bill which
would authorize Alaska’s partici
pation in the New York World’s
Fair in 1963-64 passed the House
for the second time yesterday and
was sent along to the Senate.
Passage came on a 22-17 vote on
the notice of reconsideration given
by Rep. Earl Hillstrand. The mea
sure originally passed the lower
chamber last Tuesday by a 25-15
count.
Hillstrand, who gave the whole
program a tongue-in-cheek label
of “Eskimo Pie in the Sky,” was
the only lawmaker to speak on the
measure.
He said that the $600,000 plan
ned for the program might be bet
ter spent in additional advertising
to draw tourists directly to Alaska.
Plans actually call for an appro
priation of $350,000 this year for
the construction of Alaska’s exhi
bit and its operation during the
first year. An additional $250,000
appropriation would be requested
if the state continued its exhibit
through the second year of the
fair.
“The people who go to the New
York World’s Fair will be commit
ted tourists,” Hillstrand said.
“They will have already spent
their tourist dollar, probably for
the next four or five years.
“What we should do is try, thru
advertising, to get the uncommit
ted tourist dollar.
“What we will be doing in New
York is building a $350,000 palace
from which we will get no income
except possibly from the sale of
native arts.
“We have already been told of
the possibility of an agreement for
selling ‘Eskimo Pies’ at our exhi
bit, and I imagine Mr. Blodgett
(Rep. Robt. BlodgetU will want to
get the native arts and crafts
stamp on those.
“I say the whole thing is an
‘Eskimo Pie in the Sky’ deal.”
