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.

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."

Air Armada
Aids Troops
In Viet Nam
SAIGON, Viet Nam Wi The
growing armada of combat
planes in South Vict Nam took
off Friday to support a large
new ground operation in the
Mekong Delta, smash at jungle
objectives and hunt for a miss
ing American plane.
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
