U.S. Tries to Discourage j
Hit-and-Run Raids on Cuba
WASHINGTON UPi — The FBI,
the U.S. Coast Guard and other
agencies are doing all possible to
discourage hit-and-run raids by
Cuban refugees on Castro’s Cuba,
officials said yesterday.
They said this is in line with
the policy of President Kennedy.
While he has repeatedly expressed
a desire to see Cuba freed of Com
munism, Kennedy said he did not
believe the hit-run tactics are ef
fective toward this end. They may
even strengthen Prime Minister
Fidel Castro, he said.
Some concern is expressed in
'high administration circles that
the free lance raids, if continued
might prove the spark that would
set off a new, explosive crisis in
UJS.-Soviet relations.
Moscow charged the United
States was responsible for “pirati
cal attacks.”

$358 Million Contract For
Boeing Dyna-Soar Project
SEATTLE — The Boeing Co.
has been given a $358,076,923 con
tract by the Air Force for the de
sign, manufacture and testing of
the Dyna - Soar manned glider,
Washington’s senators said.
Sens. Warren G. Magnuson and
Henry M. Jackson reported from
the nation’s capital the award de
fines the cost of the glider por
tion of the program through its
completion late this decade. Boe
ing has been working on it more
than a year.
The senators said the contract
covers air-drop tests from a B52
“mother ship” and orbital flights
expected to begin 1965.
A separate contract with the
, Martin - Marietta Corp. will cover
the booster phase of the Dyna
Soar project. The delta - winged
glider will be hurled aloft by a
Titan III rocket built by Martin.
Magnuson and Jackson said the
Boeing contract does not preclude
the possible cutback or scrapping
of Dyna-Soar by Defense Secre
tary Robert McNamara.
McNamara has begun review of
the Dyna-Soar program to deter
mine if it duplicates much of the
research work planned for the Na
tional Space Agency’s two-man
Gemini project.
He recently visited the Boeing
plant here and at NASA’s Manned
Space Center at Houston, Tex.
Pentagon sources said a decision
might be as much as six months
away, however.
