ADVUT1WWSNT are the same methods he used so effectively to unseat for mer President Fulgencio Batista. In recent months the U.S. has taken these measures: -Added 100 agents to the Immigration Service's Border Patrol staff in Florida and set them to watching the more than 200 airports in the Flori da peninsula. -Moved border patrol head quarters for Florida from Tampa to Miami. -Authorized the FBI to aid in policing gun-running, a field previously left to U.S. customs. -Established a black list of pilots warned not to make un authorized flights to Cuba The list has been circulated among Florida airplane rental services. -Established a flight Infor mation center at the U.S. im migration service office in Miami to coordinate informa tion on possible illegal flights and offered a $5,000 reward to persons supplying informa tion on such flights. Starts New Chapter When Castro attacked a Ba tista stronghold in Oriente Province on July 26, 1953, he launched south Florida on a new and hectic chapter of its long history as a haven for Latin Intrigue. Castro needed guns, sup plies, money and men. All were available in the United States. His agents, and those of other revolutionary move ments fighting Batista, swarm ed through the United States buying guns, ammunition, air planes and field equipment. Activity reached a peak In 1958. Batista fell on New Year's Eve, Most of the intrigue con cerned Cuba. But there also were Dlots directed against Nicaragua. Panama, and Do minican Republic and even far-off Argentina. "There is no doubt that at this very minute conspiracies aeainst a half dozen Latin American governments are be ing planned here in Miami," said customs Agent William B. Lankford in the summer of 1958. In ADril. U.S. authorities arrested four New Yorkers with enough explosives and narts to make hundreds of hand - grenades. In October, federal agents said three men in Rochester, N.Y., sold 110 Thompson sub-machine guns to Cuban rebel agents.

Some of this contraband went over the Texas border to Mexico and hence to Cuba. Most of it was funneled into south Florida. Charles E. Wyatt, U.S. Cus toms superintendent now re tired, estimated that $1 mil lion of arms destined for Cu ban rebels had been seized in Florida from July 26, 1953, down to the summer of 1958. Rebel agents bragged in De cember that arms costing be tween $2 and $3 million in the United States had reached the Cuban rebels only since September. Joseph A. Fortier, supervis ing customs agent, guessed that U.S. authorities stopped only about 35 per cent of the flow. Federal and Florida author ities thought they might get a respite when Castro took over Jan. 1, 1959. It was brlet. In July, 1959, agents caught three men load ing $4,500 worth of arms aboard a plane. They admitted they planned an air drop to anti-Castro forces in Cuba. Starts Again So the cycle started over again. The most publicized airplane flights have been made by anti-Castro Cubans, and American adventurers in their hire in recent months. One such flight was by Pe dro Diaz L a n z, the former head of Castro's air force who defected because he said Com munists had taken over the 26th of July movement. He flew with an American irom Florida to drop leaflets over Havana. Two persons were killed and others Injured on Havana's streets as Cuban revolutionary soldiers fired at the airplane. Castro turned this episode into an international incident which has plagued U.S.-Cuban relations. Castro and other top leaders keep up a drum-fire of complaint, that airplanes fly from Florida bases to bomb, drop propaganda leaflets and burn the sugar cane fields. It is such flights that the re cent get-tough policy of the U.S. government is designed to stop.
