Kennedy Reports 9,000 Soviet
Troops and Technicians Left Cuba
WASHINGTON IjP — President
Kennedy says 9,000 Soviet troops
and technical experts have left
Cuba since November — about
4.000 of them within the past six
weeks.
Expressing hope of further with- 1
drawals, Kennedy told his news 1
conference Wednesday that a i
rough calculation indicates about (
12.000 to 13,000 Soviet citizens 1
remain in Cuba. c
Kennedy also reiterated a pre
viously expressed fear that hit i
and run raids against Cuban ports i
and Soviet shipping by anti- (
Castro exiles might prompt a i
dangerous cycle of mounting blows
and counterblows, thus adding heat j
to the cold war. c
Repeating a promise that the !
United States would do everything (
possible to prevent such raids *
from American soil, Kennedy sug- *
gested would-be raiders could do r
more for their Communist-domi- 1
nated homeland by joining 400 to
500 survivors of the 1961 Bay of 1
Pigs invasion who have enlisted 1
in the U.S. Army. 1
In the domestic area, the Presi- (
dent obviously was primed for a '•
question about former President
Dwight Eisenhower’s recent sug
gestion that Kennedy’s record 1
$98.9-billion budget could be cut
3y about $13 billion. Eisenhower
was particularly critical of the
costly space program.
Noting that Eisenhower “re
ferred us to Maurice Stans, his
budget director, for guidance,”
Kennedy jibed that during Stans
tenure the country had its largest
peacetime deficit, its largest loss
of gold, its highest peacetime un
employment plus tow recessions.
“That is not a record that we
plan to duplicate if we can help
it,” said Kennedy.
As for the space program, Ken
nedy suggested that Eisenhower
long has opposed an effective ef
fort to put the United States ahead

of the Soviet Union in space. “It
is a matter on which we disagree.'’
he said.
At the start of the session, Ken
nedy was asked about the abrupt
ly abandoned Pentagon program
to ask key officials to take lie de
tector tests, if necessary, to deter
mine who “leaked” a memoran
dum critical of the Senate’s inves
tigation of the TP'X fighter plane
contract.
“I think it was a mistake to sug
gest a polygraph,” Kennedy re
plied. “I don’t think we need con
cern ourselves in the future about
it.”
The question of a possible power
struggle within the Kremlin also
•ame up. Kennedy expressed the
i/iew that Soviet Premier Khrush
chev “has his good months and
3ad months like we all do.” But
ie said recurrent hints of disagree
ments in the Soviet hierarchy have
not affected U.S. policy decisions.
The President also talked about
his own ups and downs with Con
gress. He predicted passage of
major legislation, including a tax
cut, in the coming months. But he
said other administration proposals
will be defeated and this, in turn,
will prompt discussion of “presi
dential leadership.” A broad grin
indicated he is reconciled to this
eventuality.
On other topics, Kennedy:
Said it “seems evident to me”
that Negroes in Greenwood, Miss.,
have been denied their constitu
l tional voting rights. He expressed
hope for “justice” as a result of
' two pending court suits.
Said the establishment of a mili
tary dictatorship in Guatemala
I and revolutionary attempts in Ar
! gentina are symptoms of the po
I litical and economic instability
which the Alliance for Progress
seeks to eliminate.
