Latin Americans Laud Pledge
To Seek Liberation of Cubans
Washington - IUPD - Latin
American diplomats welcome
President Kennedy s pledge
to continue to press for the
liberation of Cuba from Com
munist oppression.
The President's words of
encouragement to the liber
ated Cuban prisoners of The
Bay of Pigs invasion were
interpreted to mean the Uni
ted States will make every
possibe effort, short of a mil
itary attack, to topple Pre
mier Fidel Castro.
Envoys from countries
which have been urging more
vigorous action against Cas
tro felt reassured that the
U. S. position has not weak
ened. Representatives of the
bigger nations who have been
shying away from any mili
tary invasion now that the
Soviet missiles have been re
moved, were confident that
future efforts would be on
the political and economic
plane.
Addressed To Cubans
There was also belief that
Kennedy addressed his re
marks as much to the people
of Cuba as to the liberated
prisoners when he empha
sized that the United States
shared the philosophy of so
cial reform that had first ani
mated the Castro revolution
but was "preverted" to total
itarianism. Venezuelan Foreign Minis
ter Marcos Falcon Briceno,
who is here on a short visit,
called the speech "a forceful
reaffirmation of our common
belief In the ultimate victory
of freedom and democracy
over totalitarian forms of
government."
Falcon, himself spent some
time in exile during the dicta
torship of Gen. Marcos Perez
Jiminez, said he could appre
ciate the message of hope the
President had given the Cu
ban exiles.
Given New Hop
"It is important also 'that
the freedom-loving people of
Cuba who are now living in
a police state never fail in
their awareness that the peo
ple of the whole hemisphere
Hood River Couple
Hurt in Accident
Portland - WPU - A Hood
River couple was hospitalized
following a traffic accident
on the Banfield Freeway east
of here Tuesday night.
Leroy Leonard, 31, and his
wife, Ada, 33, were taken to
Providence Hospital after
their station wagon bounced
off the steel divider in the
center of the freeway while
trying to miss a car going in
the wrong direction.
The other vehicle did not
stop. '
Mrs. Leonard was listed in
satisfactory condition with
facial lacerations and a pos
sible back injury. Her hus
band was admitted for observation.
are standing by them in their
plight," he added.
Ambassador Gonzalo Facio
of Costa Rica, chairman of
the council of the Organiza
tion of American Slates, com
mended Kennedy for making
clear 'hat the inter-American
system's wish is to see the
Cuban people themselves de
termine in free election their
next government and not
simply the seeking of "re
venge" against Castro and his
followers.
"President Kennedy," he
went on, "has given us new
hope that the OAS will con
tinue to act in behalf of the
principles of self-determination
which is one of the key
stones of the inter-American
system. I also share his feel
ing that the Cuban people
themselves must take the ini
tiative in selecting the gov
ernment they want and that
this will require an initial
unity of all Cubans."
Officials here had also
shied away from public state
ments on future policy to
ward the Castro regime that
might have jeopardized nego
tiations for the release of the
prisoners.
As a result, some Central
American diplomats had late
ly been complaining of what
they felt was a tendency in
Washington to "co-exist with
Castro." A survey of the di
plomatic representatives from
these countries showed that
Kennedy's remarks had gone
a long way to dispell this
belief.

Salem IUP1 Oregon slate
parks hosted an estimated
1 1.5 million visitors during
1962, according to the Oregon
State Highway Department.
It was a record number of
visitors in spite of a cool
spring that held early season
park use to unusually low
levels, the department said.
Use of overnight camp sites
in state parks increased 18
per cent over 1961.
The commission adopted
recommendations on the park
and recreation study and ap
proved the largest budget in
history for the parks and rec
reation division. For the 1063
65 biennium, the division has
been allotted $4.5 million to
develop and operate the state
parks system - a $1.4 million
increase over the 1961-63 bi
ennium. More than 4.000 acres were
acquired during 1962 as ad
ditions to existing parks or
as entirely new areas.
Under Development
One of these areas was the
William M. Tugman site on
Eel lake south of Reedsport.
This 460-acre tract was ac
quired through the coopera
tion of the State Game Com
mission and is already under
development as a picnicking,
swimming, and boating area.
Three Areas Added
Further north along the
const, between Florence and
Yachats, lies the Carl G.
Washburne Memorial Park
site. This land was willed to
the state for park purposes by
Washburne's widow. Develop
ments for the future will be
planned around the 2'i miles
of ocean beach.
Three other areas along the
coast were added to the parks
system: The Ncstucca Sand
Spit in Tillamook county,
Billiards Beach in Coos coun
ty, and the Pistol River site in
Curry county,
In the Columbia Gorge, a
small but scenically important
area was donated to the state
by the Portland Women's
Forum. The Chanticleer Point
site contains only 3.7 acres,
but gives a sweeping view of
the Gorge.
Oregon's first slate monu
ment, the hollow, circular
Fort Rock formation in south
central Oregon, was acquired
early in 1962. The 190 acres
of this unique area were do
nated by the Lake County
Court and by a Fort Rock
rancher.
Other Areas Added
In addition to these, more
than 650 acres were added to
existing state parks, the de
partment said.
Figures released in a na
tional report showed Oregon
was sixth in the nation in
total park attendance, and
was a leader in economy of
park operation. Oregon spent
an average of 9 cents per park
visitor for operation of Its
park system, compared to the)
national average of 22-cents,
the depatrment advised.
