4 Indignation Continues To Soar Over Mass Executions in Cuba Washington CPU Indigna tion mounted in Congress to day against Cuban rebel lead er Fidel Castro's mass execu tions of followers of ousted dictator Fulgencio Batista. But State Department and congressional sources said flatly the United States would not intervene directly in the island republic to halt the killings. Angry lawmakers called for a United Nations investiga tion, a trade embargo against Cuba and a ban on tourist travel to the Caribbean vaca tion spot. Sen. John Sparkman CD Ala.), a member of the Sen ate ' Foreign Relations Com mittee,' was the latest to add his voice to the growing chor us of protest against the exe cutions, which now total at least 238. Background on German Unity Washington -PD- Here is the background on the Mi koyan - Dulles - Eisenhower talks about the German prob lem: The Soviet Union and the Western powers have been at odds for almost 10 years on how to unify Germany and write a peace treaty for that country. The official positions still are poles apart, although both sides have expressed a will ingness to try again to ne gotiate a solution. The position of the United States and its allies, forma lized in an offer at the foreign ministers' meeting which fol lowed the 1955 Geneva sum mit conference, has been as follows:, V. S. Position ' . 1. Free elections through cut all Germany - in the pro allied federal republic and Soviet . occupied East Ger many.. 2. Calling of an all - Ger man national assembly, on the basis of the election re sults, to draft a constitution lor the unified country. 3. Adoption of a constitu tion and formation of an all German government to ne gotiate the peace treaty with World War n victors. The Russians have repeat edly rejected this Western plan, apparently fearing that free elections would smother the East German Communist regime because of the far greater population in anti Communist West Germany. t, Secretary of State John AT GATES SEE THESE DOLLAR-STRETCHING VALUES!! osaais osmose s- U L r-J, .4. m. Sparkman said, 'I hope the Cuban government will take into, consideration the fact that public opinion has been shocked in this country," by the murders. He said the United States should use its "very best of fices and offers of friendship" to persuade Castro to end the executions. But he added: "I don't think there is any direct action we should take." Along this line, Castro said in Havana "200,000 gringos will die" if the United States sent Marines to Cuba to curb the killings. No U.S. official has suggested 'dispatching troops. Chairman Wayne Morse (D Ore.) of the Senate foreign re lations subcommittee on' Lat in American affairs said he expected the United States to name a new ambassador to Foster Dulles - hinting at a possible modification in poli cy - said this week that there might be other ways than elections to start the unifica tion process. But he suggest ed no specific alternative. Soviet Proposals The Soviet Union has pro posed: . 1. The East and West Ger mans must get together them selves and work out a "confederation" in which both would have a voice. . 2. The "confederation" then Israel Charged In Armed Attack Damascus, Syria - (UPD - A Syrian army spokesman said an Israeli boat opened fire on Arab villages on the east shore, of Lake Tiberius Thurs day night and that one Arab was wounded ' He said the shooting was the "second unprovoked Is raeli aggression this week" and that a complaint had been filed with the U.N. Mixed Armistice Commission. In Jerusalem, an Israel army official said Syrian troops opened heavy machine gun fire on an Israeli fishing boat in Lake Tiberius and that an accompanying Israeli po lice launch returned the fire. He said neither boat was hit and that the fishing was re sumed when the shooting stopped.

Smith, resigned after the new Castro government accused him of having aided Batista. Morse made his statement after his group received a closed-door briefing on the Cuban situation from assist ant secretary of state for inter-American affairs, Roy Ru bottom. Rubottom warned the House Foreign Affairs com mittee earlier that this coun try must adhere to its tradi tional policy of non-interference in the internal affairs of its Latin American neighbors. It was reported that he said the state department planned no official action. would negotiate with the big four and other countries on a peace treaty. 3. All foreign troops must be withdrawn from Germany within one year after unifi cation or "confederation". 4. Unified Germany must stay out of the NATO al liance or any other pact ex cept one which would cover all countries in Europe, Com- muist and non-Communist. 5. Germany must be dis armed to avert any danger of resurgent militarism The United States and its allies continue to reject the "confederation" idea, con tending it is a scheme to pull West Germany, too, into the Soviet orbit. They also reject the idea of demilitarizing and neutral izing Germany, contending this will not work with a vir ile, energetic people such as the Germans. The United Siates however, has promised to guarantee that Germany will not be permitted to be come a threat to the USSR The latest Russian gambit was to propose last Saturday a 28-nation peace conference to be held in Prague or War saw within two months to work out the form of a peace treaty. But the Russian terms for such a treaty remained the same as ever. Now it remains to be seen whether Soviet Deputy Pre mier Anastas I. Mikoyan has something new to propose in his taiics with Dulles and President Eisenhower. Personalized Credit We Carry Our Own Accounts . Phone SP 2-4158 341 N.

Personal vendettas, party slayings, lynchings and stab bings and shooting by mobs, looting and pillage by con querors, legal and illegal seiz ing of opposition property -all have had their place in La tin American revolutions. . - In Colombia an estimated 150,000 to 200,000 persons have met violent death since 1949.

Roy Lambert was found guilty after a two-day trial on charges of killing six heif ers belonging to the Kirk Ranch where he was em ployed. He was charged with selling them to Joe Vigil last June 27, for which he re ceived about $550. ! Of fart No Witntssai . During the trial, the defense offered no witnesses, but sev eral appeared for the state. They included Ben C. Ger wick, ranch owner; James D.

At the sentencing,' Lambert said there was' addition evi dence in the case which his attorney had not presented in the case.

'Frontier Justice' But the "frontier justice" being dispatched by Fidel Cas tro's revolutionaries in Cuba is unique in modern American rebellions. : In the first place, the trials and executions are being held in the full glare of worldwide publicity. Castro and his co horts, far from attempting to hide them, have permitted newsmen, photographers and television and movie camera men to witness them. Secondly, Castro wasted no time meting out his revolu tionary punishment. President Fulgencio ' Batista's' govern ment fell Jan. 1. In two weeks the confirmed number of exe cuted Batista men topped the 200 mark. ' No Cuban Precedent Third, the trial courts are composed of Castro's revolu tionary soldiers. Many are young men. For most of them, little is known of their judi cial experience or ability. Ail oi this was missing when Marcos Perez Jiminez was overthrown in Venezuela last January, when Juan D Peron was crushed in 1955 in Argentina, when Jacobo Ar- benz Guzman was defeated in Guatemala in 1954,. when Ro jas Pinilla was felled in 1957 in Colombia. In fact, there is not even a precedent in previous Cuban revolutions. Democrats To Pick Convention Site New .'Orleans -UPD- Mem bers of the.
