If I 8 B SUNDAY. OCTOBER 27. 1963 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON Citizens Group for Free Cuba Supplies Information By NEIL A. MARTIN United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) - What is life really like inside Commu nist Fidel Castro's Cuba? For Americans who don't want to risk loss of their pass ports or their lives by trying to Una out in person, there is an alternative: Ask the Citizens Committee for a Free Cuba. Established here last April to spotlight life in the Caribbean Communist stronghold, the com mittee has a ready supply of what it claims are facts and fig ures about Cubans, Castro and communism. It said its purpose is to bring such information to the atten tion of the American public and Congress. Publishes Periodical The committee publishes a semi-monthly periodical, "Free Cuba News," with a circulation of over 6.000. and on request al so supplies special information. Secretary Danile James told UPI that much of the data which the committee processes is identical with that compiled by government agencies. He said the committee's relation ship with the agencies is "quite good." He insisted the committee op erates neither in "cooperation nor competition" with the State Department and the Central In telligence Agency in analyzing the Cuban situation. Rather, he said, it "tries to- supply the American public with facts about Castro's Cuba and. com munism in this hemisphere which might otherwise not be available to them." "We are by no means com peting with the government," he said. "We simply pass on to the public all the information we re ceive. He said the activities of pro Castro Communists in Central and South America had forced the committee to expand its field. Drive For Funds Adm. Arleigh A. Burke, for mcr chief of naval operations, is a member of the committee and is pushing a drive for money to keep it in business. He said recently that great er financial support was ncccs. sary to help the committee "mobilize American opinion in support of measures needed to defeat communism at our door steps." Principal information sources used . by the committee are monitored Cuban radio broad casts, Cuban newspapers, inter views with refugees and reports from activitist groups inside and outside Cuba. A team in Miami, Fla., moni tors Castro's domestic and special frequency military broadcasts and sends trans cripts to Washington where a staff translates and evaluates them. If an item seems interesting, James said, the committee will find and interview a recent re fugee for confirmation. He said other information is collected before a final report is printed in the news. Paul Bethel, the committee's Cuban affairs specialist, said the methods used had enabled the committee to accurately follow developments. He also said the flow of refugees from Cuba to Miami had provided a valuable source of information.

Ngo Dinh Nhu said Thursday night the United States had ex tended more aid to Communist Yugoslavia than had been given to her Southeast Asia coun try, which was fighting com munism. "We have paid back with 14,000 casualties a year. . .with our blood," she said, while Yugoslavia "has paid back nothing." The First Lady of South Viet Nam said her country wanted to become more independent but did not want to lose all U. S. aid. Some aid to her coun try recently was withheld. "We arc not beggars,'' Mme. Nhu said, "your gift is not just a one-way gift. We paid back with blood." She said aid to her country was closely controlled while Communist Yugoslavia received help without limitation. Students Cheer Mme. Nhu addressed 5.000 University of Texas students who whooped wildly when she said "I hear you have the No. 1 football team in the United States." The Nhu party was to fly from Dallas to Phoenix, Ariz., at 4 p.m. EDT today, where she was to continue her revela tion of the "other side of the coin" concerning the regime of Premier Ngo Dinh ' Diem of South Vict Nam, her brother-in-law. She referred to criticism about beatings suffered by three newsmen who witnessed a burning suicide in her coun try by a Buddhist monk. Mme. Nhu said more about that inci dent made the news than about a French reporter who was shot in the back and killed dur ing race riots last year in Ox ford, Miss.

' Bethel said that on Sept. 14 the committee received reports of a revolt by the second larg est labor union in Cuba. He said efforts to find and interview a fromer union official among the Miami refugees were successful and the committee soon will publish a full report on the in cident. "The Cuban government is waging a determined effort to wipe out the labor unions," he said. Internal Developments Some of the latest internal de velopments, reported in the committee's news were: The off-shore Isle of Pines is one of 10 areas being trans formed into a large-scale train ing camp for Communist revolu tionaries who are being smug gled into Central and South America. There has been a gradual departure of Russian person nel and troops from the island, but this has been offset by an increase in Communists from other Soviet Bloc nations and Red China. The resistance of Cuban teachers to teaching Commu nist principles resulted in the tiring of 3,000 in the past three months. As a result Castro has made a sixth-grade education and 12-years of age the mini mum teaching requirements in Cuban schools.
