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.

was seized in Tarentum, Pa.,
and Lynwood, Calif., five Cu-,
bans were booked lor possess-,
ing 16 sten guns.
So it went around the coun
try. 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.
