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.

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.

Cuba "momentarily" to con
vey this country's concern
over the executions.
Non-interference Policy
The former ambassador,
Earl T. 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.

Cuban 'War Crimes'
Trials Without
Modern Precedent
The rise and fall of Latin
American dictatorships in re
cent years has been splotched
with bloodshed but the mass
"war crimes" trials and exe
cutions in post-Batista Cuba
are without modern precedent
in the Western hemisphere.
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. And today, 20 months
Klamath Man Is

dence in the case which his
attorney had not presented in
the case. The evidence, he
said, had to do with papers
available in Phoenix, Ore. -

after the overthrow of dicta
tor Gustavo Rojas Pinilla, the
killing still is going on in a
large section of the country.
'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.
