MedfordWribune Regional Edition Page 2A Campaign Quotes By Unltad Press International Vice President Richard M. Nixon: (In Scranton, Pa.): "The ad ministration's aid to distressed areas bill provided far more real help to the areas which needed It than the somewhat larger Democratic bill which was ' passed deliberately to provoke a presidential veto. "The Democratic lcoders' two -to -one majorities were more Interesting In seeking a political issue than in pro viding the assistance so badly needed by the depressed areas . . . ' "Theirs Was straight pork barrel. It spread more dol lars so widely - into place after place that did not need this sort of help - that places like Scranton, where help ts critically needed, were left begging. "They used shotgun politics instead of the ride of national interest. No responsible presi dent could have approved It."

' - V Irate Premier Demands UN Provide Rooms New York - IUPD - Cuban Premier Fidel Castro moved in a huff to "The Waldorf Astoria of Harlem" early to day following a brief camp out in the United Nations building. Castro stormed out of the Shelburne hotel, his assigned quarters, over what he called the management's "unaccept able cash demands." He said he would sleep In Central Park or the U.N. rose garden if necessary, and led his beard ed entourage of 80 directly to the United Nations to protest New York s inhospitality.' Monday night's fairly in credible string of events was described by U.S. Assistant Secretory of State Andrew H Berding as "The Fidel Castro hotel drama in three acts - more a comedy than a tragedy." The Castro hotel hassle was at any rate a sideshow that stole much of the attention from the arrival on the U.N. stage of anti-American lead ing man Nikita Khrushchev, who had invited Castro to join him here in the first place. Castro s sudden exit from the Shelburne, where he had sulked all day over alleged mistreatment" b y security officials who met his plane from Havana Sunday, was described by the hotel owner a propaganda stunt to embarrass the United States. The 33-ycar-old premier, his long-time secretary, Cclia San chez, and four other aides piled into a car and drove eight blocks to the skyscraper U.N. building, their progress heralded by screaming police sirens. After consultations with U.N. Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold and other of ficials, Castro was offered rent-free accommodations at the mid-town Commodore ho tel, but he Insisted on going to the Hotel Theresa, six miles away In Harlem. Act I of the "Hotel Drama began in the Shclburne's Sa tire room, when Castro sat down to dinner. He said hotel owner Edward Spatz had been 'very troublesome with de mands for money "but we have accepted them because there was no other place to go." He said he was calling it quits at the hotel and would proceed to the United Nations for "suitable lodgings." If the United Nations would not take him, Castro said, "Then we wi" go any place, even Cen tral Park, because we are used to sleeping in the moun tains, in the open air." After Castro left, Spatz said he never wanted the Cubans, but took them In only because U.N. and U.S. State Depart ment officials had "put pres sure" on him. , Spatz' unhiipplncss over his Cuban guests was aggravated by the presence outside the hotel of pro-Castro and antt Cnstro demonstrators. He was also grieved because the Cu bans had brought along their own food, freezers and stoves. "They're peeling chickens up in those rooms now and they're going to cook 'cm," Spatz said before the big walk-out. Spatz said Castro got mad because he had asked for the second payment on a $10,000 bond against damage to the suites occupied by the Cuban delegation. Castro said he couldn't raise the requested funds. "1 am not going to let myself be robbed because the money I have be longs to the Cuban people,'1 he said. Ho offered a Cuban bond, which Spatz thought looked "phony." "I asked for a real bond or money," Spatz said, but he later relented and offered to return the bond already post ed and let the Cubans stay at the Shelburne rent-free so as not to embarrass President Elsenhower. "I'm just a little hotel man caught in the middle of an in ternational scheme to embar rass the United States and the United Nations," Spatz said. He added the Cubans had most of their bags packed and had obviously planned lo leave all along. When it was all over, Spatz retired to a hosplvl for treat ment of his ulcer. The scene or Act II of the Castro drama was the United Nations Secretariat Building. Ills inner group of aides was followed by still more beard ed followers, who stormed the elevators and tried to crash the meeting with Hammar skjold. They were repulsed. After the meeting, Castro and company went to the plush South Lounge In the building and had rum and sandwiches on the house while U.N. officials sought desper ately to find them rooms at the inn.' Scores of newsmen put isid I , 1 if J I VT9 CASTRO MOVES With a thumb-backwards gesture, Cuban Premier Fidel Castro announces his decision to leave Hotel Shelburne during a press conference in the hotel's dining room in New York. Castro alleged "unacceptable cash de mands" on him by the Shelburne management and moved into Hotel Theresa in Harlem today. The move was preceded by a conference with Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold at UN headquarters during which the Cuban leader demanded suitable lodging.

Wayne Morse (D-Ore.) said Monday that the American delegation to the United Nations General Assembly will "demonstrate again to the world that the coverage of the emergency Congo session to concentrate on the unfolding drama. At one point Castro poked his head out the lounge and news men surged forward. Relax, they were told. Castro was only going to the men's room. Then came Act HI, the sur prise announcement inai ai his own insistence Castro and friends would be put up at the 300-room Hotel Theresa, known as "The Waldorf As toria of Harlem and the largest Negro hotel In the nation. Berding said Castro had turned down an offer of 20 rent-free suites at the Com modore, only three blocks from the United Nations and much more suitable from a security point of view. You can imagine yourself . . what the reason was," Berding said tartly. "It cer tainly was not to help the U.S. government." Meanwhile, back home in U.S. seeks a peace program and Is ready to implement it. He said the United States would have to make its pro gram very clear "as Khrush chev and others present their propaganda." The senator just returned from the Bogota economic social conference of the Amer ican Republics. He described the meeting as "the most suc cessful economic conference for Lalin America in which the United States has ever participated." For the first time, he said, America was "not on the de fensive" in dealing with its Latin American neighbors, be cause it had a positive pro gram to offer. He said that as a result, the conference came to grips for the first time -with the basic problem of land reforms and education.
