U.S. Pledged To Block Armed Intervention bv Russia in Cuba Washington -: ttlPD ' - The United States was firmly pledged today to block any Soviet armed intervention in Cuba. President Kennedy warned Soviet Premier Nikita Khru shchev Tuesday night this country would act immediate ly to hurl back any "military intervention by outside force." The President's sternly worded note also cautioned Russia against using the Cu ban situation as a pretext "to Inflame other areas of the world." Kennedy said this would be "dangerous to world peace." The American note, handed to Soviet Ambassador Mikhail Menshikov at the State De partment, was a reply to a message from Khrushchev asking Kennedy "to put an end to the aggression against the republic of Cuba." Khrushchev charged the United States had aided the invasion and said Russia would "extend to the Cuban people and its government all the necessary aid to repel the armed attack on Cuba." The President replied that Khrushchev was laboring "un der a serious misapprehension in regard to events In Cuba." He said there had been grow ing resistance in Cuba to the Castro regime and some 100, 000 Cuban refugees naturally Riots Around World Alleged U.S. Aid To By United Press International Communist-led demonstra tions protesting alleged U. S. aid to the anti-Castro invaders of Cuba spread around the world today in a wave of vi olence recalling the Red-organized anti-Belgian riots set off by the death of Congo ex Premier PatriceXumumba. There were growing indica tions of anti-Communist re sistance to the mobs in Latin America, scene of the worst outbreaks of violence. In Moscow, U. S. Charge d' Affaires Edward Freers was expected today to protest Tuesday's attack on the em bassy by mobs of Russians, NSmall groups of hard-core Communists and other chronic America-haters turned out in Western Europe. But officials and the press west of the Iron C u r t a i n seen.ed generally sympathetic to the invaders. In some Latin American countries, rioters inflamed by anti-American speeches turn ed their fury on Roman Cath olic churches, local anti-Communist newspapers and other targets. - - There were strong Indica tions of International organiz ation in the riots. Throughout Latin America, from the back- Regional Edition Medford Page 2A Tribune MEDFORD, OREGON-, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 19, 1961 Protest Invaders woods of Mexico to the cap ital of Bolivia, the rioters screamed the same slogans and used the same weapons notably stones and "Molotov cocktail" incendiaries. The worst outbreaks re ported occurred in Venezuela, where 16-year-old Edgar Gon zalez Marquey was shot and killed and about 35 persons injured and 30 arrested in rioting in Caracas and the "oil capital" of Maracaibo. A mob in Concepcion, Chile, burned a U. S. Flag in the streets and stoned, the U. S. Consulate and the Chilean American Cultural Institute. Three rioters and two police men were injured.

The President also address ed himself to Khrushchev's statement that the Cuban situ ation, if allowed to proceed, might "provoke a chain re action" all over the world. Kennedy said: "I have taken careful note of your statement that the events in Cuba might affect peace in all parts of the world.
