Scattered pro-Castro rallies were ' held Wednesday in Western Europe, but no dis orders were, reported. .; The wave ' ol anti-American vio lence which had taken at least six lives in Latin America ap peared to be subsiding. - The only reports of major new outbreaks came from Guatemala ' City,; where at least' two and perhaps four persons were killed in a gun battl. nd from Caracas waera anti-American . rioting Injured eight persons. , The first American casualty of .the riots, Embassy Secre tly Edward Brown, was shot in the left arm during the fighting In Guatemala City. His wound was slight. The general tone of Latin Back Claims on Relatives Dropped ; Salem -flJPD- A bill to wipe but an estimated several mil lion dollars in back claims against relatives of welfare recipients was approved Wed nesday by the Senate Health and Welfare Committee. .The 'committee decided, however, that the relative re sponsibility act under which the claims have accumulated should continue. ." -. Sen. Monroe Sweetland, who voted for the bill, said it cost the state $203,000 to col lect $403,000 last year. America's latest dcmonstra tions was one of jubilation among Castroites celebrating their hero's victory claim. Anti-Castro refugees back. ing the invasion refused to concede defeat. European newspapers were inclined to credit Castro's claim. :': . ' "Invasion gamble flops, af ter only three days!" said the London Daily Mail, adding that the attack "seems to have been a blunder" and that it created a "dilemma for Prest dent Kennedy." i The Paris newspaper Com bat, apparently accepting the Moscow line that the United States was to blame for the invasion, said the U.S. govern ment "put Itself In a bad spot by underestimating its oppo nents."

The Callfornlan starts a country-wide political tour early next month to speak out on issues. , Nixon was asked ' whether he thought there was a "con servative trend" in the coun try.

Nixon gave his views after breakfasting with Republican National Chairman Thruston B, Morton and other congres sional leaders. He was welcomed back to the Washington political scene by both liberal and conserva tive GOP spokesmen.

Unander has served a year Kennedy, Advisers C.old High Level Assessment of Situation Inside Cuba Washington -0IPD-President Kennedy and his top advisers held a high level assessment of the Cuban crisis today in a 50-minute cabinet meeting The White House session took place as a high Ameri can source said the United States expects a continuation and intensification of guer rilla operations based- in the Escambray Mountains in Cuba. ' Anti-Castro forces already there were reported to have been bolstered by additional men and supplies during the disorder of the past three days. . Secretary of State Dean Rusk told a news conference in Marietta, Ga that anti- Castro force s undoubtedly would continue to fight for freedom despite the apparent collapse of the recent inva sion. In Georgia for a series of speeches, Rusk reiterated the rebel uprising was not a major -invasion. , No Public Statement There was no statement following the cabinet meet ing only the fourth such session Kennedy has held since taking office Jan. 20. The President will meet with ' the National Security Council Saturday when Cuba and the mounting crisis in Laos likely will be on the agenda. Cuba also was a top subject In, Congress. Sen. Barry Cold water (R-Ariz.), told the Sen ate that every American should be filled with "appre hension and shame as a re sult of the abortive Cuban invasion. : . Goldwater also voiced con cern about the Labs situation, He said "strong words" will not curb the Russian leaders. Rep. .Clarence Cannon (D Mo.) said It is "very evident" that the - United States can take no direct action to aid the Cuban revolt. But Rep. Walter H. Judd (R-Minn.) said the . United States .should be able ' to , devise some method of helping the rebels. Diplomatic officials mean while viewed the latest devel-, opments in Cuba as meaning Hearing Set on Yard Application A publio hearing on a li cense application for a wreck ign yard in the Talent areaj 26, at 8 p.m. in the Jackson) county courthouse auditorium,! "I received many phone calls at home Inquiring about a public hearing at 10 o'clock this morning," County Judge Earl Miller said. Miller explained that such a hearing is necessary since the planning commission ap proved the application and' made its recommendation to the county court during the planning commission's regular meeting, and not during a scheduled public hearing. . The county court had re ceived the commission's rec ommendations 1 Friday; but wished to study the matter further before taking any ac tion.' The planning commission's recommendation included con struction of a six-foot fence on four sides of the property, a screen of evergreen trees, fencing of the front of. the building and no wrecked ve hicles yisiblet above the fence or to appear outside it.

These officals said Castro's success was bound to have a heavy psychological and prop aganda impact, particularly on the U. S. position in Latin America since this country openly sympathized with the invaders. ' . The President cancelled plans to spend the week end watching training exercises by Atlantic Fleet units off the north Florida coast.. The White House' attributed the decision to the "press of bus iness" in the capital. . . .! , The Cochinos Bay invasion, according to sources here, was attempted with a shockingly small force of only a few hun dred men whose effort was doomed to" failure when up risings and defections in Cuba failed to materialize.- American ' officials, while frankly dismayed by the ap parent failure of the invasion attempt, ' predicted steadily mounting trouble for Castro from the augmented guerrilla forces . which were said to have received additional war equipment. But there' was no attempt here to discount the fact that for the moment, at least, Cas tro and his Russian backers had gained considerable pres tige and ' a, propaganda vic tory. . , .Many peasants and. workers in Latin America- still look upon Castro as a reforming hero and his success will be cheered by them as a victory against "forces of imperial ism." The 'anti-Castro revolution aries, undertaking their oper ation against the advice of some of their American friends, felt they would spark a general uprising in Cuba, with defections from the mi. lltia, which would wipe out the Castro regime. . .
