It contended that overly high

A statement issued Thursday by
the AFL-ClO's Economic Policy

leader Walter Rculher, said Eisen
hower's recent budget and eco

American economy should be de

While this served to check further

Gov. David L. Lawrence de

PORTLAND (AP) - Rep.
Charles O. Porter (D-Ore) thinks
Fidel Castro should not hold spec
tacular trials of accused war
criminals, but he thinks that gen-J
erally the Cuban trials are be
ing conducted decently and fairly."
The Oregonian said it learned
this Thursday in a telephone in
terview with Porter in Havana
Porter declined to attend the
trials in the 17,000-seat Sport
Palace for the backers of the
former Batista administration.
The newspaper quoted Porter as
saying that he was convinced
that revolutionary leader Castro
and his men are "dignified, re
strained and disciplined."
They also are religious and
most wear Catholic medals. They
are not the kind of people who
would engage in a blood bath,"
the paper quoted Porter as sav
ing.
Porter said he had urged that
the remaining trials be placed in
the hands of civil authorities and
that advisory committees from
the United Nations, the Organi
zation of American States or the
Inter-American Bar Assn. be in
vited to review and make a re
port on the trials.
Porter who is in Cuba at the
invitation of Castro said that
Wednesday's rally in support of
the revolutionary leader was "in
no way a Nazi-type rally. It was
sloppy, but sincere, with no pomp.
It was a respectful demonstra
tion of people who are in full sup
port of the new government."
