Crisis Spurs Demonstrations
In Moscow, American Cities
Moscow -lllfll- More than
3,000 shouting, whistling Rus
sians demonstrated for 3'2
hours outside the U. S. em
bassy here Saturday protest
ing the blockade of Cuba. The
demonstrators hurled ink bot
tles and rocks that smashed
three windows of the 10-story
embassy.
"Give us the ambassador,
give us the ambassador,"
shouted the throng in a de
mand to speak to the new
U. S envoy to Moscow, Foy
D. Kohler. But Kohler, who
was out on a call at the time,
returned to his residence in
stead of the embassy.
An embassy source said
that apart from the broken
windows, the only other dam
age was "one or two ink spots
on (he building and a few
scratches on cars parked in
front of the embassy."
An estimated 400 soldiers
and militiamen (police) watch
ed over the crowd which ap
peared to be in a festive mood
as it gathered in bright au
tumn sunshine. The demon
strators seemed to be acting
under centrally organized
control.
U. S. Pickets
Washington (UPP- More
lhan 700 pickets jammed side
walks in front of the White
House Saturday to praise or
protest President Kennedy's
Cuban policy.
Two incidents marred the
otherwise orderly demonstra
tions. Three persons, demon
strating with a Cuban refugee
organization, were charged
with disorderly conduct after
they threw rotten eggs and
tomatoes at another group op
posed to the Cuban blockade.
Earlier, the Rev. Sidney
Lansing, a Franklin. N. J.,
minister, was ejected from the
picket line for refusing to
obey police orders to keep
moving. 11c returned a few

Despite the differing polit

This was a slightly higher

Fire on US Planes
McNomora Orders
14,124 Men fo Dufy
Washington - WPS - Defense
Secretary Robert S, McNa
tnara, acting after U.S. recon
naissance aircraft were fired
upon over Cuba, Saturday
night ordered 14,124 Air
Force reservists to active duty
to man 24 troop carrier
squadrons.
The announcement was
made by Assistant Secretary
of Defense Arthur Sylvester,
who read a McNamara state
ment saying the Cuban situa
tion "requires we be prepared
for any eventuality."
Sylvester made public Mc
namara's decision after the
White House had announced
the contents of a letter sent
by President Kennedy to Rus
sian Premier Nikita Khrush
chev saying he was willing to
ncgoiialo on the Cuban crisis
if Soviet missile bases are
withdrawn from Cuba.
The Defense Department al
ready had announced that a
reconnaissance plane was
missing after a sortie over
Cuba.
The pilot, listed as "miss-;
tng, was identified as Ma), i
Hudoif Anderson Jr., 35, of '
Greenville, S.C,
Fired Upon
The Defense Department
did not say his plane was
shot down, although, it did
say that reconnaissance planes
were fired upon.
A short while later came
the Pentagon announcement
that "today, U.S. unarmed re
connaissauce aircraft, con
ducting surveillance of the
buildup of (he offensive weap
ons secretly introduced into
Cuba by the Soviet Union,
were tired upon."
McNamara's statement add
ed: "To insure Dial Die na
tions of the Western hemi
sphere continue to be Inform
ed of the slalus of the threat
fo their security, it is essen
tial that such reconnaissance
flights continue. The possibili
ty of further attack on our
aircraft and the continued
buildup of ottensive weapons
in Cuba require that we be
prepared for any evcntiialily.
"Therefore, tonight, acting
under the authority granted
mc by executive order 11058,
Dated Oct. 23, 196'2, I have
instructed the secretary of the
Air Force lo order to active
duty 24 troop carrier squad
rons of the Air Force reserve
with their associated support
units."
Quite obviously troop car
riers could be used to trans
port military units far a strike
against Cuba itself if this were
io be ordered.
To Continue
In announcing that one air
craft conducting surveillance
operations over Cuba was
missing, the Defense Depart
ment said thai these missions
will continue. The statement
also said that "appropriate
measures will be taken" In
protect the planes and insure
their effectiveness.
The Cubans themselves had
said during the day that anti
aircraft batteries "drove oil
unidentified warpJanes" over
Western Cuba. This is the sec
tion where the Russian mis
sile bases arc located.
Cuban Premier Fidel Cas-
i tr0
then declared that his
rmmtrvS euns would ooen tin

on any plane that violated
Cuban air space.
