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.
