The bearded .savior, who strode out of the Sierra Maestra Moun tains at the head of his victor ious i barbudos, still holds high favor with the mass of Cubans. But leaders in business and intel lectual life see immense perils strewing tne path he must cover in the immediate months ahead Here's how they were spelled out to me in interviews with Cub ans in all walks of life, from president down to peasant: 1. Cuba faces widespread eco nomic distress and disorder. Cas tro and his key officials have shown no capacity to deal with them. 2. The Island rumbles weakly for a way out of political chaos as Castro puts off the prospect California Weather United Press International San Francisco Bay Area: Fair through Saturday after morning fog persisting west of Twin Peaks: high today San Francisco 63.

Ash land, forfeited $20 in district court Thursday on a charge of fishing in closed waters. Jeska was ar rested May 17 by state police for fishing on Spencer Creek near Friends Camp. of free elections and dabbles in jketchily-drawn policies. 3. Communists given a wide open door by Castro while ne denies any link to communism undercut his revolution in a hundred and more places and make ready to capture it when disorder dictates the moment They have already strongly infil trated the army, labor unions and second echelon government posts. I found Red Chinese and Rus sian agents already on the scene. These dangers are not merely Cuba s, but America s. Should the worst happen, we would find Moscow entrenched in a stronghold standing near the throat of the North American con tinent, 90 miles and just minutes by jet air from Florida's southern tip. Cuba anchors our Panama Ca nal defenses. At Guantanamo stands a great U.S. naval base which in fact guards the whole southern frontier. In hard cash terms, the island represents for' the U.S. $850 mil lion in investments, $546 million in annual exports and $528 million in yearly imports. Castro, the mercurial 33-year- old idealist who must stand on the rising danger, confronts the job with most of the deep-set pop ular support he had when he emerged from the hills in Janu ary. He continues the great liber ator, genuinely loved and re spected as ousted dictator Ful- gencio Batista was hated and feared. Everywhere, in homes and store Windows, on trucks, push carts, and the -windshields of Cad illacs, signs proclaim "gracias Fi del" (Thank you, Fidel). Nearly all the Cubans I have spoken to ordinary people, bank ers, industrialists, labor leaders. politicians, members of the rebel force. President Manuel Urrutia himself agreed that Castro holds his country's future in his palm. Un the credit side they mark dp these achievements: He has given Cuba s six millions! the smell and feel of liberty, and with it a real sense of independ ence and dignity. He has virtually wiped out the chronic sicknesses of Cuban pub lic life graft and bribery. Prostitution, smuggling, the drug traffic, illegal gambling, all have been drastically cut or brought near a standstill. He has reopened the doors of the University of Havana, shut by Batista in rests. Among his sturdy backers are many who believe these gains are an earnest of the future, that Castro will find the big answers. Said wise, soft-spoken Pepin Hoscn, neaa ot tne Bacardi com pany: '"Fidel is an idealist who will go down in history as a liberator. Given time and little more ex perience, 1 am convinced he will face up to the problem of Com munist influence in his regime." The Rev. Fduardo Boza Masvi dal, rector of Villaneuva Univer sity, joined in: "Castro is a con vincing man and a sincere ideal ist, but very emotional." Yet others, more than just a few. have begun seriously to wonder whether he has the makings of solid, stable leadership or if he an instinctive revolutionary who can neither produce ior en joy orderly government. Said a sugar magnate who barked Castro's revolt with money: Castro must understand that to govern a country like Cuba one needs more than a handsome per sonality, a beard and a machine gun. ... A man who aspires to di rect the destinies of a nation must have more than good inten tionsand Castro fails utterly wnen scored By his ability to mea sure political realities." Countless of his loyal follow ers put the question over and over. What are his real plans? Where is he leading Cuba?" They remember that in 1933 Ba tista led a "sergeant's revolt" in the name of democracy and ytAx a, gist. Mr'. Cava Mm had lltila um fof Dry Cleaning.

Or will he become a new Batista, or. even worse see his country stagger and fall under Communist rule? The answers lie with the man, in whose heart the revolution lin gers. No sign of it, no show of violence mars Havana's streets today. The heavily-armed "bar hudos" are the only reminder that bloody civil war gripped the island live months ago. Looking like bearded, long haired U.S. "beatniks." the bar budos, the elite of the revolution, range everywhere. They saunter through the sun-drenched city. tneir shiny pistols stuck, gunman style, in their belts. Some lounge in the luxury hotels, toying with loaaea suomachine guns as Amer ican youths brandish baseball bats. A 14-year-old shoeshine boy. thinking I doubted he was one of Castro's mountain soldiers, point ed a wicked Mauser my way and asked: "You want prool?" But the barbudos are not so sav age as they look. Many are ideal ists like Castro. They know they live in a deadly serious world. They wait to see whether their leader can avoid the perils which could obliterate Cuba's gains. They know the abyss which looms may not he Black but Kcd. was. vr-trr' VMUkj Outside m WHITE 95 PAINT y Pr Got LI 2 Brushes FREE with each 4 Gar.
