Page JA EUGENE BEGISTER-GUARD, Friday, Jan. 11, 196S Prelate Raised $1 Million Gift BOSTON Wl Richard Cardi nal Cushing, Roman Catholic archbishop of Boston, has dis closed that he raised $1 million to help liberate Cuban invasion prisoners. Cardinal Cushing released a atatcment Thursday identifying himself as solely responsible for the collection of the $1 million. He said he had made the state ment because of the many ru mors concerning the "myste rious donor." The prelate also said he want ed to clarify reports that the gift had come from sources "with which I have no identi fication." "It is appropriate and fitting for a Catholic prelate of the United States to have a part in the liberation of the 'Cuban fighters' who love their country and the faith of their fathers he said. Cuban Prime Minister Fidel Ransom Loot Flight Stirs Speculation MIAMI, Fla. Ml A two-day postponement in a ransom car go flight to Cuba stirred specu lation Friday that another air lift possibly may develop for persons eager to leave iidcl Castro's country. A Pan American Airways DC6B already laden with 19,000 pounds of medicines, had been .scheduled to take off Friday for Havana, but its departure was postponed until Sunday. " Pan American said the Red Cross, to which the flight was donated, requested the post ponement. Spokesmen for the airline said they did not know the reason for the postpone ment. No Comment In Washington the State De partment refused to comment on the postponement and a Red Cross spokesman said he had been advised of the shift in dates but did not know why it had been done. A DC6B seat more than 100 passengers, without seals, it can carry nearly 200. Plans were afoot previously for a special flight to bring 230 Cuban-Americans to Miami, but that flight was canceled abrupt ly last week. Liner Loaded Also eager to leave Cuba arc more than 20 Americans, im prisoned on various counter revolutionary charges, and hun dreds of relatives of the Bay of Pigs invasion prisoners who were ransomed for $53 million in badly needed American food and medicine. The flight set up for Sunday may be the last air shipment of ransom installments to Cuba. An ocean cargo liner, the 400 foot SS Shirley Lykcs, is .sched uled to load 6,000 tons, of ran som at Baltimore and then call at Port Everglades, north of Miami. There it will take on another 1,000 tons of food, phar maceuticals, biological, vita mins and insecticides to hand over to Fidel Castro. Castro made a last-minute de mand for $2.9 million in cash before he would release 1,113 Bay of Pigs prisoners. He claimed the money was owed him for the release last April of 60 other prisoners, sick and wounded. The money was in addition to the $53 million worth of food and drugs used to ransom the 1,113 prisoners. Gen. Lucius D. Clay, head of a committee which advised and assisted (am ilies of the prisoners, obtained a $1.9 million loan on his own signature. Then he sent tele grams to industry leaders seek ing contributions toward the loan. A survey by The Associated Press of 25 companies to this special fund ranged from $10,. 000 to $150,000. It was announced at the time that the other $1 million was contributed, at the request of Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy, by an anonymous donor. In Washington, a Justice De partment spokesman said the cardinal pledged the money as the direct result of a telephone call from Kennedy asking for help. "There was no figure men tioned in the phono call," the spokesman said. "The attorney general just asked the cardinal what he could do to help." Cardinal Cushing, he added, asked Kennedy to keep the $1 million donation anonynous. Kennedy did so. Manuel Lopez, delegate in Boston of the Cuban Revolu tionary Council, said: "I am not surprised. He has helped us right along. He's helped hun dreds of refugees from Miami settle in and around Boston."

American Reds Support Kremlin NEW YORK Hi The Commu nist Party of the U.S.A. openly sided with the Soviet Union Thursday in Moscow's ideologi cal war with Communist China. The party's first public state ment in the growing rift in the Communist camp charged the Chinese with "dogmatism and sectarian repetition of phrases" strong words in the Marxist Leninist dialect. The party praised Soviet Pre mier Nikita Khrushchev for his "peace policy" in the Cuban crisis. By contrast, the party said, the policies of the Chinese Communists are "erroneous and dafigerous."

Twenty-two planes were as signed to the air search. A two engine U.S. Army reconnais sance plane was presumed crashed in jungle-covered moun tains about 250 miles northeast of Saigon. The missing Mohawk plane, its American pilot and a Viet namese army observer took off from the town of Qui Nhon Thursday. U.S. Army troop-carrying heli copters, supported by armed es cort helicopters, landed assault troops after heavy air strikes in the Mekong Delta. Intensive air strikes were car ried out on the Communist-con trolled jungle enclave known as "D Zone" northeast of here. Adm. Harry D. Felt, com mander of U.S. forces in the Pacific, left for Bangkok Friday after a three-day visit. JFK to Assert Leadership Despite Allied Discontent By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER Of the Associated Press WASHINGTON President Kennedy has decided to assert a more vigorous and determined leadership in world affairs even at the cost of creating major frictions with U.S. allies, espe cially in Europe. The President's determination is clearly disclosed in a discus sion he held with newsmen in Palm Beach last week, a partial text of which the White House made public Thursday night. As originally reported, the views could not be attributed directly to Kennedy. What he said apparently rep resents the hardening of an at titude which has been develop ing within the administration for many months. Independent Policy The fact that he saidjt, in re sponse to a question,' empha sizes his present conviction thai the United States can get the results it wants on some impor tant issues only by following what amounts to an independent policy. Kennedy said he thought that "too often in the past we have defined our leadership as an at tempt to be rather well-regarded in a'l tne-se countries." "The tact is," he said, "you can't possibly carry out any pol icy without causing major fric tions." He said he thought the United States "ought to be more aware" of the fact that "we are going to incur, at intervals, peo ple's displeasure." As evidence, Kennedy noted that in dealing with the Congo situation the United States has been following a policy "some what different" from that of Great Britain and other coun tries in giving strong support to the United Nations in its effort to bring about unification of the divided African nation. Bath Dissatisfied In the case of India and Pak istan, he said the United States has tried to reconcile the two countries because it believes this is essential to the defense of the Asian subcontinent, and both of them are "dissatisfied with us." When be first expressed his views to newsmen at Palm Beach he was talking "for back ground." This meant that re porters could report the views but could not say directly that the President had stated them at a background news confer ence. As comments now on the rec ord, they constitute probably the strongest assertion of the need for independent U.S. ac tion on some occasions that a president has made since the United States began to build the present system of alliances 14 years ago. Shipping Declines PORTLAND Wl Shipping in Portland declined by 212,000 tons last year, the Commission of Public Docks said Friday. Thomas P. Guerin, manager, said the 1,104,655 tons of cargo still represented the third best year on record for the public docks. Power Line Land Clearing Contracts Let Contracts for clearing rights of way and building access roads for the Bonneville Power Administration power lino from Goshen to the coast were award ed to two firms this week. ' Lester Burkett of Corvallis was given a $178,055 contract for a 16 mile, section, and Tido water Construction Co. of Blaine, Wash., was given a $184, 556 contract for another 36-mile section. Work will start immediately and the firms will have 300 cal endar days to complete the project. ' When completed, the 73-mile transmission line will have 230, 000 volt capacity and will run from the Alvey substation at Goshen to the Lake Tahkenitch ronton.
