With- the Com munist invasion of South Cuba Might Get Jets Elsewhere Washington - (LTD - Cuban Ambassador Ernesto Dihigo said Saturday that his country might be forced to call on other sources if Great Britain refuses, under pressure from the United States, to supply it it with jet fighter planes. U.S. and British officials are conferring at present on a proposal that Britain trade about 15 jet fighters to Cuba for the propellor - driven planes sold to Cuba last year. U. S. officials oppose the deal, fearing the action might touch off an arms race in the Caribbean and increase tens ions in the already troubled area. Dimigo told United Press International Saturday the planes represent Cuba's "min imum needs," and that if the deal fails Cuba might be forced "to remedy her defic iencies by supplying herself in those sources that might re main open to her." The sources were not identified. Acquisition of the planes would not imply an offensive movement, Dihigo said, but an effort merely to modernize Cuba's existing equipment. Negro Sought In Alabama Rape Mobile, Ala. - (UPD-Officers, working on what they said ws "a good lad," pressed their search last night for a short and stocky Negro who raped a white woman twice in the presence of her three young children. Police said they assumed the assailant was the same man who, a few minutes earl ier and a quarter of a mile from the scene of the rape, failed in an attempt to attack another white woman in her garage. A search party of 25 police officers and deputies, using bloodhounds, combed the Georgetown community for the attacker. Georgetown is a rural community 20 miles northwest of this port city, but still in Mobile county. A 24-year-old white mother, home alone with her three children, told officers how she awakened from dozing in a living room chair and saw the Negro approaching her, holding a white housecoat be fore him . He grabbed her by the hair, dragged her into another room and raped her while her three children watched. One of the children, a five-year-bid boy, tried to help his mo ther by getting a 22-caliber pistol from a wardrobe and pushing it toward her. The Negro grabbed it.
