Porter Defends
Castro, Rebels
As 'Decent' Men
Cleveland (UPD Rep.
Charles O. Porter said yes
terday that Cuban rebels ex
ecuted aides and followers of
ousted Dictator Fulgencio Ba
tista because they were "mur
derers of defenseless men, wo
men and children."
The Oregon Democrat con
cede in a speech prepared for
the City club that the war
crimes trials held by Fidel
Castro and his rebel leaders
lacked "many of the proced
ural safeguards" considered
essential in Anglo-Saxon law.
But he said Castro and his
men "are not the kind of peo
ple who countenance 'blood
baths'," much less arrange
them. They are doing their
utmost to establish an honest
and democratic government
in Cuba."
Conversations
Porter said he based his
conclusions on conversations
he had with Castro and his
lieutenants during a recent
visit to Cuba.
"Castro and his men," he
said, "are as decent as Ba
tista and his men were inde
cent . . .
"I knew about these Batista
atrocities and I blamed Batis
ta for them while he was in
office."
'Stories, Photos'
The Congressman said that
many Cubans and others
sent me stories and photo
graphs."
"Why didn't the nation
know?" he went on. "One
reason is that Batista corrup
ted the press, even some of
our own. He bought good
words or, at least silence. The
Associated Press, a fine" or
ganization with high ideals,
fired one of its employees in
Havana, Arroyo Maldonado, a
Cuban citizens, about a year
ago when it was found he
was receiving money from Batista."
