MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or. Tuesday, July 28. 1959 Rafael del Pino Faces Trial for High Treason Havana -(CPD- High army sources said today Rafael del Pino, Cuban-born American from Miami who was wound ed and captured by police here Saturday, faces trial for high treason a crime pun ishable by death. Hospital reports said Del Pino, who is being treated for severe burns and a bullet wound in the neck, is in "im proved' condition. He proba bly will be transferred soon from the police hospital to the infirmary of the Cabana Fort ress prison. Del Pino, a one-time rebel who changed sides, was shot Saturday while trying to take a Cessna light plane off a highway near Havana, ' The plane, in which Cuban author ities charged he planned to fly foes of Premier Fidel Cas tro out. of Cuba, caught fire and he was burned in the blaze. Castro visited Del Pino in the hospital Monday and ques tioned him for an hour about his activities. May Go to Conference The premier told a news conference Monday that he may go to next months foreign ministers' conference in Chile to charge that Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic are to blame for the Caribbean crisis. - Castro charged that the two countries are "governed by dictators." Other factors con tributing to tension in the Ca ribbean, he said, include "hun ger, economics and freedom." The premier ridiculed the U.S. Congress for being con cerned about Cuban policies, saying that Cuba does not in vestigate U.S. generals, ad mirals or FBI agents. This was a reference to recent U.S. Senate hearings on reports of Communist infiltration of Monday Night Starts TV Off With Bang; Reviewer Elaborates By FRED DANZIG United Press International New York (DPD Monday night starts the TV week off with a bang. Bang-bang go the guns of the Texan, Restless Gun, Tales of Wells Fargo, Frontier Jus tice and Peter Gunn. It's a great night for the lawmen. Can't say as much for the viever, though. Peter Gunn, or repeater Gunn, as this NBC-TV series can be called during summer episodes, is perhaps the most- copied private eye show on TV and my hope is that no body takes it seriously. Gunn's specialty is playing it cool. Example: Monday night, Gunn, play ed by Craig Stevens, the poor man's Cary Grant, comes across a luscious gal, played by Lucy Marlow, in his con vertible at 5 ajn. Lucy says: "Kiss me." Gunn says: "I don't know your name." Now, that's being cool. And, like Markham and Richard Dia mond, I've seen Gunn let a little thing like a telephone call break up a cozy necking party in his, or her, apart ment. That's cool, too. Cool Dialogue Dialogue is so cool it makes Jack Webb sound like Alexan der King. Example: In turning down a shady deal Monday night, Gunn says, "It's no go." Lucy asks, "definitely?" and Gunn re plies, "quite." Neat. TJiis suave, diplomatic veneer is maintained even during some of the messiest, most sadistic sluggings on TV. Gunn smiles only at puppy dogs. The code of the cool, I suppose, permits you to smile at animals and prohibits a display of emotion before another human being. That, to me, is the rub. Cuba. Castro said his American foes are the same people who opposed the late; President Roosevelt "people who are against reform of all kinds.' Gunn represents a concept of man that refuses to get excit ed ' about anything, represses normal feelings, and looks up on human life as cheap. Frankly, the cool approach gets me hot under the collar. I pray that nobody viewing this show tries to emulate Gunn in real life. Channel Swim The .
