Assassination
Part of Plot,
Castro Declares
MIAMI (UPD - Cuban Pre
mier Fidel Castro said Wednes
day night the assassination of
President Kennedy was part of
"plot" by more than a single
killer, and aimed partly at
Cuba.
Castro, In a nationwide radio
and television speech monitored
in Miami, also said the accused
killer, Lee H. Oswald, was him
self slain by nightcl'ib operator
Jack Ruby "to m.'ke sure that
the supposed assa3i .n would noi
talk."
Castro spoke for about two
hours and 30 minutes.
Far Right Blamed
In a talk Saturday night, the
Cuban leader took the line
of o'Jier Communist bloc coun
tries that "ultra-reactionaries"
of the far right were to blame
for the slaying of Kennedy in
Dallas.
Wednesday night, speaking at
Havana University, Castro said
he would "refer briefly to the
assassination of the President
of the United States."
"Slowly being unmasked are
all Ihe double-dealing and dirty
maneuvers that were behind
this episode which is a plot
against the peace and a sinister
conspiracy . . . those responsiole
in (the United States) are be
coming more and more de
fined," said Castro.
Price of Plot
As part of the plot, Castro
said, "the reactionaries of the
United States wanted to make
our country the victim of an
aggression even though the as
sassination of the president of
their own country was the
price."
He did not elaborate, except
to sav that the "intellectual au
thors" of Ihe assassination had
'Dlans acainst peace, Cuba, the
Soviet Union, humanity and the
progressive and liberal sectors
of the United States. . ."
it will be difficult for those
who are guilty to maintain
themselves and this mystery in
secret," Castro said.

Remembered Deficiency
Carrico remembered reading
that Kennedy suffered adrenal
deficiency and immediately ad
ministered hydro-cortisone.
Jones began a "cut-down on
Kennedy's left arm to insert a
catheter a device to force
more blood into a vein and keep
the passage open. Curtis com
pleted the same procedure on
the left leg.
Lactated Ringer's solution (a
crystaloid solution sometimes
called white blood and used un
til whole blood can be obtained)
was pumped in. In seconds, a
technician from the blood bank
arrived with "0" negative blood
(universal donor) and it was
started.
To feed the blood faster, hand
pumps were used.
fiy now, the cart had been
elevated at the loot to help the
blood get back to the heart.
Then one of the doctors no
ticed a frothing of the blood in
the neck wound. "He's bubbling
air," the doctor said. This
means a hole in the lung.
Re-Expand Lungs
Peters and Baxter immediate
ly inserted a tube into the right
upper part of the chest, just be
low the shoulder, to re-expand
the lungs and keep them from
collapsing. Perry and Jones at
the same time inserted a simi
lar tube on the left.
Doctors and nurses raced In
and out. Each time the operat
ing room door opened, Mrs.
Kennedy tried to look in.
What is happening," she
would ask. "How is he?"
Clark, the Neurosurgeon, had
run all the way from the medi
cai school. He was one of the
last of the team to arrive. He
raced through the emergency
room door not more than five
minutes after the President was
brought in.
Clark looked down at the
President. The eyes were open,
staring back, sightless.
"His eyes are fixed and di
lated," Clark said.
No Hope
Any first year medical stu
dent knows this means that
there is no hope for the pa
tient.
Clark had a "torpedo"
hooked up immediately to Ken
nedy. This is a small machine
with a scope that shows a heart
beat in waves as a little green
light travels from one side to an
other. The green light moved
straight across with a hopeless
ly steady line.
Clark looked up at Perry.
"It's too late, Mac," he said.
But Perry grabbed a stool,
placed his knee on it to give
him leverage and began giving
Kennedy closed chest massage
using his fist in a rocking,
pressing motion over the breast
bone to provide, if possible, a
60-70 per minute beat. He and
Clark took turns.
A more sensitive cardiotachy
scope was brought in by Bash
our. This was his machine. He
specializes in cardiology. Before
coming to the United States, he
was head of cardiology at Bei
rut, Lebanon.
Electrodes from the machine
were attached to Kennedy's left
arm. But the green pinpoint of
light on the scope did not wav
er the tiniest fraction of an
President Was Dead
An attendant was standing by
with two rods that sometimes
can shock a faltering heart into
beating. He put them away. The
President was dead. He had
been dead for minutes, probab-
inch.
ly before he got to the hos
pital.
Jenkins, monitoring the oxy
gen equipment, turned the
valves off. The President was
dressed only in his trousers,
shorts and brace, for his ailing
back.
Baxter got a fresh sheet. He
and Jenkins tenderly pulled it
across the body and up over
the face. Kennedy's coat, shirt,
undershirt and tie h:d been
folded and put on one of the
stec! shelves lining the wall.
The floor was litteied with em
pty bottles, bloddy bandages,
boxes that had contained sterile
dressings, bits of tubing. At the
foot of the cart, among the lit
ter, were the Pesident's shoes.
A doctor picked them up and
placed them with his coat.
"The priest is outside," some
one said.
