APRIL 6. 1961 Disgusted Red Technicians Said Leaving Cuba Havana -r (UPD - Communist technicians tent here to train Cubans in their specialties were reported today to be heading for home, disgusted with the inefficiency of Pre mier Fidel Castro's govern ment. Seven aviation Instructors from Red Czechoslovakia left Monday, telling friends they had found it Impossible to work under the "inefficient direction" of the Castroltes. ; A dozen other Czech flying Instructors left some time ago. Another group of Czechs as signed as advisers to the Na tional Bank of Foreign Com merce left recently, saying they could not work with the "undisciplined Cubans." A Russian team overseeing the construction of a cement factory near Matanzas pulled out without explanation, leav ing the job half done. Duties Unclear The exact duties of the avia tion instructors : never had been made Clear, although their presence -was linked with reports that Russian Mig jets are being assembled at San Julian alrbase In western Cuba. ' , These reports have never been confirmed, and no Soviet jets have been sighted In flight. ; " Foes of the Castro regime started a S5 million fire wed nesday at the nationalized Hershey sugar mill, burning out one of Cuba's biggest su gar refineries and a ware- house containing nearly 14,000 tons of bagged sugar. : Destruction of the sugar alone accounted for $1.6 mil lion of the loss. A total of 279,096 100-pound bags of sugar had been crammed into the warehouse, which was de signed to hold, only 250,000 bags. Observers said the overload Indicates the difficulty the Castroltes are having in dis posing of the current sugar crop. Before the government took it over, the Hershey mill be longed to refugee Cuban sugar tycoon, Julio Lobo. So far as is known, it had no connec tion with the American choco late company. Numerous canefield fires were reported Wednesday in Las villas Province. It ap peared some of them had been set by sugar workers angered by the recent reduction of their wages, while others were believed to have been set by political opponents of the regime.

' He was shifted there to a British Red Cross stretcher and carried across to an am bulance waiting on the Hong Kong side. McCann grimaced in pain during the transfer and as he crossed the border Mrs.-McCann burst Into tears with him. Neither of the McCanns would speak to newsmen.
