(AP Wircpholo)
People dig a path in the snow leading
to an airfield on Texel Island off the
coast of Holland in order to be able
to reach the outside world, which can
only be reached by air. Texel is one
of The Netherlands' Frisian Islands
which has been marooned from the
mainland by ice and snow as the
European continent remained locked
by one of the bitterest winters in
memory.
Resurrection of Cuban Fiasco Pains Demos

PARIS Wl French President Charles de Gaulle agreed
Wednesday to put the problem of Britain's entry into the Euro
pean Common Market on ice for the time being.
Reliable sources said De Gaulle at a final half-hour talk with
West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer, agreed to Adenauer's
proposals that the executive commission of the European Eco-
Somic Community make a thorough new study of the problems of
ritish entry and submit its recommendations to the foreign
ministers of the six Common Market countries.
There would be no time limit for completion of the study, but

Katangese
Stronghold
Still Tense
By JACK BELL
Of the Anoclaced Presi
WASHINGTON The contro
versy over the failure of the
1961 Cuban invasion has flared
up again.
The Senate Republican leader
ship announced Tuesday it
would begin an independent in
vestigation of the U. S. backed
assault on the Bay of Pigs, and
Democrats immediately raised a
cry of "politics."
In Miami, some Cuban exile
leaders took issue with Atty.
Gen. Robert F. Kennedy's state
ment that the United States
never promised air cover for the
invasion,
Dagoberto Darias, head of an
invasion veterans organization
and a commander of one of the
assault transport ships, charged
Tuesday that President Kennedy
betrayed the Cuban people, even
though "his brother is attempt
ing to justify him on the Bay of
Pigs fiasco."
Jets in the Air
He said jets were in the air
on invasion day and that he had
received a message from "the
American flagship directing our
operations advising that air
cover would be forthcoming at
2:30 p.m.
"We saw the first two planes
pass in the direction of Giron
Beach (invasion point)," he said.
"A minute later two other jets
crossed, but the next minute,
the first ones returned, like sea
gulls fleeing from a storm."
Senate Republican Leader Ev
erett M. Dirksen of Illinois said
Wednesday he is already gather
ing information on the crushed
invasion and would lay it before
the Senate Republican Policy
Committee within two weeks.
The committee, he said, gave
him clearance to begin the investigation.,
Dirksen's aim obviously was
KOLWEZI. Katanga
Thousands of Katanga soldiers
slipped into the bush with their
weapons as the United Nations
Wednesday began disarming
President Moise Tshombe's
forces.
The situation remained tense
despite the peaceful capitula
tion to the United Nations of
the last stronghold in the rebel
lious province. The Katanga
commander asserted that the
war was not over.
Villa Guarded
, Tshombe himself reported he
had been "attacked by some
mercenaries" the white offic
ers of his armed forces and
was granted an armed guard.
Ho told newsmen he was re
turning immediately to Kllsa
bethvillc, Katanga's capital, to
carry on as provincial president.
Tshombe s villa here was
guarded by a company of his
own para-commandos, still bear
ing modern automatic weapons.
Tshombo did not go into de
tails about the attack on him.
He was given a small escort
of Indian officers for his re
turn to t'lisabcthville.
In an impromptu news con
ference, Tshombe expressed
satisfaction with the U.N. oper
ation and the peaceful occu
pation of Kolwezi, an important
mineral center.
Eye Infection
Asked if the central Congo
lese government had signed an
amnesty law, Tshombe said:
do my duty and have already
started implementing the V
Thant plan (for Congo unity)
regardless of what others are
doing."
Tshombe was in obvious pain
from an eye infection.
Although thousands of Katan-
Kan gendarmes have left, thou
sands more are lingering here,
waiting for orders from their
superiors. U. N. troops arc not
allowed in the town, but the
civilian population seems re
lieved to have them at least on
the outskirts.
Jackson to Get
Chairmanship
WASHINGTON lfl Sen
Clinton P. Anderson. D-N.M.
has announced he will give up
his chairmanship of the Senate
Interior Committee to head up
the Senate's increasingly impor
tant Committee on Space.
His decision clears the way
for the appointment of Sen.
Henry M. Jackson, D-Wash., to
take over the interior chairman
ship when the Democratic Steer
ing Committee meets within a
few days to approve new assign
ments. Anderson passed up the Space
Committee rhairmanship two
years ago when the late Sen.
Robert S. Kerr. D-Okla., suc
ceeded Lyndon B. Johnson, now
vice president, in that post.
some
months.
Adenauer left for Bonn after
his talk with De Gaulle, ending
a three-day visit to Paris during
which he signed a comprehen
sive treaty for French -West
German cooperation in diploma
cy, defense, education and cul
ture. It is designed to bury the
age-old enmities of the two
countries.
De Gaulle's opposition to Brit
ish membership in the Common
Market posed a major problem
In Fronch-Wcst German coop
eration even before the treaty
was signed. West Germany fa
vors Britain's entry into the
economic community.
West Germany also has en
dorsed President Kennedy's pro
posal for a multinational nu
clear force for the North At
lantic Treaty Organization. De
Gaulle opposes it.
Adenauer's proposal to trans
fer the Common Market issue
from the negotiating table to
the study stage is designed to
prevent a dramatic rupture in
Brussels Monday, when the six
nations are to take up a French i
demand that the British applica-1
tinn for membership be shelved
indefinitely.
Tho other four members of
the community Belgium, the
Netherlands, Luxembourg and
Italy have Joined West Ger
many In opposing De Gaulle's
stand.
The French agreement to sub
mit the Common Market dispute
to the study commission did not
commit France to accept any of
the commission's recommenda
tions. De Gaulle was said to feel
tha tthc study would support
his contention that Britain is
not ready for full membership
in tho Common Market.
Payroll to Be Cut
WASHINGTON (UPD The De
fense Department said Tuesday
it plans to eliminate 9,818 civil
ian jobs in the 12 months be
ginning next July 1, reducing its
total meploymcnt from 1,064,
983 to 1,053,165. It said the re
ductions would be brought about
by not filling vacancies when
they occur.
to assemble evidence to rebut
Atty. Gen. Kennedy's recent re
view of "mistakes" made in the
assault.
Dirksen said only that he was
interested in learning if the
President's brother "told the
entire factual story." But Sen.
Barry Goldwatcr, R Ariz., con
tended in the Senate that Ken
nedy's summary was "a cleanup
operation designed to make
the worst mistake of the Presi
dent's career seem like some-'
thing entirely different."
. Purpose to Blame Ike
"The purpose is to attach a
major portion of the blame for
the invasion at the feet of the
Eisenhower administration," he
added.
The White House declined to
comment on the investigation.
There was no comment from
the attorney general.
Dirksen said Republicans ;
agree that the advance work for j
the invasion was done during I
the administration of former j
President Dwight D. Eisenhow-r
er. But he said the carrying out I
of the operation "is a matter of
such importance that it cannot
he left in doubt as to facts."
Democrats responded that the
Republicans were trying to play
politics in international mat
ters. Sen. J. W. Fulbright, D-Ark.,
chairman of the Senate Foreign
Relations committee, said it "has
a strong partisan aura."
"Any conclusion they reached !
would be considered quite par
tisan," he said. "I doubt very
seriously that any objective find
ings will come out of it."
'Full Responsibility
Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey of
Minnesota, the assistant Demo
cratic leader, said: "President
Kennedy has taken full respon
sibility for the failure at the
Bay of Pigs. This is no longer a
matter of partisan consideration.
"I wonder when the Republi
cans will assume their share of
responsibility for Castro and his
Communist comrades in the late
1950s. This should make a very
Interesting investigation."
The GOP investigation seemed
certain to focus on Atty. Gen.
Kennedy's contention that the
United States had never prom
ised to provide air cover for the
invasion.
Darias is not the only Cuban
Exile in Miami to maintain that
an air cover bad been promised.
Such a claim also was made
by Manuel Antonio de Varona,
a leader in the Cuban Revolu
tionary Council in whose name
the invasion was launched.
Assurance From Officer '
Varona, a former Cuban prime
minister, said a U.S. Army colo
nel who commanded the camp
where Cubans trained for the
assault assured him in February
1961 that there would be "full
air control."
Darias, who said he had been
chief officer of the Rio Escon
dido and swam to safety when
it sank, said "when the invasion
started, 22 jets with our war
insignia and the Cuban banner
flew over our boats. This proves
that they were prepared to give
us air cover."
Last week a group of Cuban
invasion leaders visiting the at
torney general indicated to
newsmen that no U.S. air cover
had been pledged, saying "we
had our own planes."
Dirksen will be operating
without subpena power in as
sembling evidence. He indicated
that any new information might
be turned over to the Senate
Internal Security subcommittee,
of which he is a member.
The security subcommittee is
headed by Sen. James 0. East
land, D-Miss., whose affinity to
the Kennedy administration is
less than strong. Eastland de
clined comment.
Kennedy Thanks
Argentine Envoy
WASHINGTON l.TV President
Kennedy thanked Argentina
Tuesday for Its cooperation with
the United States during the
October crisis over Soviet mis
siles in Cuba.
Argentina's foreign minister,
Carlos Manuel Muniz, reported
Kennedy's expression of grati
tude after his visit to the
White House.
Muniz, in the United States

tary of State Dean Rusk, told
newsmen that he and the Presi
dent discussed a wide range of
topics, some related to U. S.
Argentina affairs and olhcrs to
hemispheric matters.
