Page 4A EUGENE REGISTER-GUARD, Tuesday, Jan. 22, 1063 Exiled Cuban Claims: Air Support Was Pledged MIAMI, Fla. W1 A leader In the exile organization that mounted the 1061 Cuban invasion insists that the anti-Castro brigade was promised full air cover. The exile leader, Antonio de Varona of the Cuban Revolu tionary Council, said he was obliged to "break silence" be cause of Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy's statement Monday that no United States air cover ever was planned. The attorney genral said President Kennedy couldn't have issued last-minute orders cancelling air cover, as many adminis tration critics have maintained, because there were never any plans for the United States to provide air support. In a copyrighted interview with U. S. News and world Re port, Robert Kennedy said the plans for the invasion were drawn up by the Central Intelligence Agency, but he said the Land Trade Accord Seen By Duncan WASHINGTON W-Rcp. Rob ert B.

Kennedy said American forces were in the area, but the Pres. ident had made it clear from the beginning that "American manpower, . American airpower and American ships" would not take part in the invasion. Goldwater's View Sen. Barry C-oldwater, R-Ariz., also took issue with the attor ney general in Washington. Goldwater said he talked with the President just after the in vasion and I certainly got the impression then that an air cover had been part of the orig inal invasion plans. Varona, a former Cuban prime minister who headed the lead' ing Cuban Democratic Revolu tionary Front at the time of the invasion, declared in a state ment: The colonel designated by the government of the United States as head of the camp where the Cubans trained as sured me in February, 1961, when I expressed concern over the reduced number of troops, that the Cuban patriots would have 'full air control' during the invasion. 'The brave expeditionaries never had the promised air cov erage. Neither was I informed of the date nor of the plans for in vasion, which in any case would not have had my approval in view of the conditions under which it took place." 'Proper to Inquire' As second only to President Jose Miro Cardona in the Un supported Cuban Revolutionary Council, Varona said he would not talk about tho invasion pub licly any more. But the Bay of Pigs episode, he said, "will some day require the full investiga tion which always precedes the just recordings of historians." Goldwater said, "I suggest It is proper to inquire into this latest example of 'news manage ment by the New Frontier. Has this practice of the administra tion now been extended to the rewriting of history?" Noted Chemist Dies of Diabetes PASADENA. Calif. Wl Gor don A.

The gay gathering was in honor of Vice President Lyn don B. Johnson, Speaker John W. McCormack and Chief Jus tice Earl Warren. It was short on culture and long on back slapping. It had an air of "old home week" as one of the 150 guests put it or like a "family affair," as McCor mack put it. Raising his glass in the State Dining Room, Kennedy Legislation To Be Sought By Dairymen TILLAMOOK (UPD The com mittee charged with drafting a new Oregon milk price stabiliza tion bill has decided to drop plans for a milk commission and advisory board. That means the milk market ing program will continue to be based in the State Department of Agriculture, according to George Milne, Tillamook dairy man and chairman of the com mittee. The proposed bill will be sub mitted to the Legislature by the dairy industry. Milne said the commission and advisory board were dropped to remove any possible ob jections that the program would be controlled by producers. The bill will provldo for mar ket pools in several areas in the state, governed by voluntary contractual agreements, Milne said. If the producers reject the pool provision, the State De partment of Agriculture would have authority to draw up a marketing program. Milne said producers favor the voluntary plan because it could be extended to take in South west Washington dairymen. The Agriculture Department would have no authority in that region HINTS COLLECTED BY "it "M friend of mine S3?J told mo recently mgHj tnai gooa iooa LJWw.J alone is not the complete answer to the develop ment of sturdy bodies and good eating habits.

The smiling host also said in his toast that two of the three guests of honor share several things in common with the President. "We were all mentioned in Nixon's book," he said. "We all ran for vice president, but only one of us made it. We were all candidates for presi dent, but fortunately only one of us made it. We also all sought lengthy tenures, but unfortunately only one of us made it." The return toasts lauded the first family. McCormack said the "world can smile again, because of that incom parable couple the Kenne dys. He said the first lady is a "great diplomat" who had "given the world an image of America." Even the children, Caroline and John Jr., got in on the act when Warren toasted them and their grandmother. Rose Kennedy, who attended the dinner. The vice president evoked bipartisan laughter when he said in his toasts: "It is with some apprehension that I come here tonight, Mr. Presi dent. The last time I sat down to dine with you, it cost me $1,000." He referred to the Democratic fund-raising din ner last Friday. After dinner, Mrs. Kenne dy, wearing a chartreuse chif fon gown with one shoulder bared, was the belle of the ball. She danced every dance in the East Room until the President cut in.

Newspaper Guild Urges Fresh Talks Building Pledged For Strike Funds NEW YORK W) The New York Newspaper Guild, an nouncing it is mortgaging its headquarters building to help pay strike benefits to members, has urged that fresh personnel be brought into negotiations if necessary to end this city s 46 day newspaper shutdown. At a membership meeting Monday night, the guild adopted a resolution calling on Secretary of Labor W. Willard Wirtz end federal mediators to insist that striking printers and newspaper publishers "resume negotiations and continue in session until an agreement has been reached." Both sides, the resolution said, "seem to be unable to re main at the bargaining table long enough to effectively dis cuss a settlement. One of Ten Unions The guild, which represents editorial and commercial em ployes, is one of 10 unions whose members have not been working because of the printers' strike. Local 6 of the AFL-CIO Inter national Typographical Union went on strike against four of the city's nine major newspap ers Dec. 8 in a contract dispute. The other five major dailies closed down. In Cleveland, the AFL-CIO Newspaper Guild and the inde pendent Teamsters Union have been on strike for 54 days against the Ohio city's two dailies the Plain Dealer and the Press & News. Negotiators for ti;e Cleveland Guild and publishers met for 2V4 hours Monday in the office of Cleveland Mtyor Ralph Loch er, who has been serving as mediator. Another session was scheduled Tuesday. The New York Guild meeting voted down an amendment to its resolution. It would have had the guild ask President Kennedy to intervene in the strike by ap pointing a board of impartial ex perts to seek a settlement if the dispute was not ended in one week. M. Michael Potoker, secretary- treasurer of the New York Guild, told the meeting that the union has paid $1,270,000 in strike benefits to. some 5,000 idled members here. Benefits have ranged from $30 to $80 a member, depending on family st&tus $420,000 Needed The local strike fund has $159,000 left in it, Potoker said. Some $700,000 has been bor rowed from other AFL-CIO or ganizations. The local fund needs $420,000 more, he added, if it is to pay benefits until newspaper people idled by the printers' strike be gin drawing state unemployment compensation Feb. 1. Potoker said the parent Amer ican Newspaper Guild is con tributing $150,000 toward bene fits, a bank loan of $70,000 is planned, mortgaging of New York Guild headquarters will raise an additional $150,000, and the guild is ready to cash in $50,000 worth of government bonds. mm BUY Z0N0LITE WITH WHAT ON YOUR O POUR IT1 Zonolita insu lation "pours like popcorn ".

BROOKS HAYS Threatened by Youth Youth Robs Capitol Hill Residence WASHINGTON Wi A youth slipped into the Capitol Hill home of Presidential Assistant Brooks Hays and robbed Mrs. Hays by threatening her with a scissors, police reported. Mrs. Hays, 65, told police she was sewing in a second-floor bedroom Monday afternoon when she looked up and saw a youth standing in the doorway. When she asked him what he was doing, he replied, "The lady downstairs told me to come up. 'Well let's go down and see," she told him. She said she led the youth down the stairs and was approaching the front door when he jerked a pair of scis sors from her hand. Mrs. Hays said the intruder told her, "Let's go back up stairs, and you'd better give me some money or I'll kill you."

ZONOLITE I tips ;r m ooo II i ' Nixon Often Victim Of Press, Ike Says NEW YORK Wl Former President Dwight D. Eisenhow er says his vice president, Rich ard M. Nixon, "did have a point" when he issued what Eisenhower calls his "bitter in dictment of the press." In the current Saturday Eve ning Post, Eisenhower has an article saying that throughout Nixon's political career, "it seemed that a considerable seg ment of the press was on his back." "I s u p p o s e," Eisenhower wrote, "it was an extension of the curious, 'I don't like Nixon' cult, which I never could really understand." "In any event," Eisenhower said, "it was obvious that many of the reporters did not like him, and frequently their bias showed through in their report ing of his activities and speeches." Eisenhower referred to a Nixon news conference in Los Angeles last Nov. 7, after the former vice president lost the California gubernatorial elec tion. Nixon said then that biased reporting had blocked his po litical comeback bid and that the news conference was his last. Eisenhower wrote: "Whether or not it was wise of Dick to lay down this bitter indictment of the press is a question I shall not discuss here. But he did have a point. "Now, I believe implicitly in the freedom of the press, but I also believe in the responsi bility of the press.
