PAGE 2 A HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls. Ore. Monrlav, Dep. 28, 1959 Expelled Reporter Reveals Record Of Justice By Cuba's Fidel Castro Editor's Notes Miami Herald reporter James Buchanan was expelled from Cuba last week by the Castro government. He wa given a 14-year suspended sen tence after convictions by a mili tary tribunal of "concealing in formation about an interview with an anti-Castro fugitive. Buchanan imprisoned for 12 days without charges, was tried on the 13lh day and released on the 14th. This is the first of his thought-provoking reports of Cuban justice under Fi del Castro, released exclusively through The Associated Press.

"FOREST RANGERS" First Show At 1:30 Lost Show At 2:15 the Cuban citizens who have lost their liberty, their property, and may lose their lives because of a "crime" we in the United States wouldn't recognize. Their crime? Nothing more than being accused of anti-Castro activity or display ing anti-Castro sympathies. Not all the stories I heard night after night lying in a secret police cell block are true, of course Some were deliberately planted by cell "stool pigeons" to gain my confidence and see if I'd confide my thoughts about Castro's new regime. Hut the stories I'll relate of neighbor spying upon neighbor in a campaign of fear and suspicion are the ones I have been able to check and authenticate since leav ing my Cuban jail. Cuba isn't yet a police state, but the network of spies and jails is being organized in a pattern that threatens to smash the hopes and prayers of thousands of Cubans I first began to know and love Cuba and her people two years ago, when a tyrant named Ful- gencio Batista held an iron grip on the island and two Castro bro- thers were trying to rally support in the hills of Sierra Maestra, Eighteen months ago I lived as a newsman in those hills with Raul Castro and his troops heard them talk of their dreams and ideals. I was on hand in happy Havana last New Year's Day, when Ba tista at last had fled and the peo ple prepared to welcome a new leader with hope in their hearts. During the past 12 months I have visited Cuba often as a re porter and noted an increasing concern that she may have traded one dictator for another, though a much more popular, one. That concern was emphasized during those first few hours after my arrest on Dec. 10, after I had found and interviewed Austin Frank Young, an escaped anti- Castro adventurer before Cuban authorities knew his whereabouts. I sat and waited for what I ex pected to be my early release. As I waited, I got the shock of tactics once used by German SS police under Adolf Hitler getting a replay in this Cuban secret po lice headquarters just 90 miles frnm Key West, U.S.A. I saw long lines of informers patiently wailing, as they did night after night, to tell stories about their neighbors to Castro agents. I saw a 14-year-old boy thrown Into my cell and confined for four days becauso a woman had ac cused someone with a similar name of being a member of the haled "Tiger" army, the private strong arm of ex-dictator Batista. I watched tears come to the eyes of once respected business DOORS OPIN 6:4S P.M. , j m 1 NOW PLAYING!

Lei's look first at the case of 14-year-old Armando Cruz Gon zalez. His name was supplied by a woman informer and his ad dress given as a certain block in downtown Havana. Armando was picked up at home and tossed in our cell. His protesting parents simply, were told Armand had been a longtime member of Batista's Tigers. I look at our cellmate Armando and wondered. He was a scared fuzzy-cheeked 14-year-old. For four days he was in our cell. No charges. No attorney. No visitors. And no questioning by po lice. Finally on the fifth day, he was released. "We have been unable to find your accuser, secret agents tow him simply. There are other, more frighten ing cases I'll discuss later. But as I looked at Armando I wondered does Fidel Castro him self know how far his subordinates have gone in carrying out his ev ery emotional whim.' It did not make me bitter, only disturbed that the men the world had hoped could lead Cuba from the tyranny of Batista are feed- ng their revolution with the old fires of hate and distrust. They are fires that are starling to kill free speech, cripple the free press, and may set Cuba back where she was in 1958 un der Batista afraid to talk, afraid to listen, afraid to act, and al most afraid to live. Oregon Toll Reaches 8 By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Two cars one driven by a man and the other by his wife col lided licadon on a highway near Waldport.

Union Plans Travel Strike NEW YORK (AP)-Four thou sand transportation workers have authorized a strike aimed at halt ing all subways and buses in the city the minute 1960 arrives. Such a strike could create a monumental jam of revelers in this city famous for its Times Square New Year's Eve throngs Members of the Transport Workers Union packed the Man hattan Center Sunday to unani mously endorse the strike. However, the TWU has never before struck the subway system It has threatened to often and has taken countless strike votes. The union last stopped the operation of private bus lines in 1953. But it was another union the Motor- men s Benevolent Assn., now merged with the TWU that con ducted an eight-day subway strike in December 1957. A special committee set up by Mayor Robert F. Wagner meets today with representatives of the union, the Transit Authority and seven private bus lines to try to avert a strike. At the same time, another committee of the city de partment heads meet to talk about how to handle such a strike should it come. "The city will be prepared to meet any eventuality that might arise in this situation, said Wag ner. The strike would involve ap proximately 38,000 workers on the subways, city - owned buses and private bus lines. They want a 15 per cent increase in wages, which now range from $2.04'i to $2.72 an hour. The union's contract with the Transit Authority expires Jan. 1, but its pact with the private bus lines ended Dec. 1. That contract has been extended twice to expire at the same time as the transit authority pact., Soviet Party Reaches Pole CHRISTCHURCH. N. Z.

Izvestia Ed Samples Paris PARIS UPI) - There's hushed-up gag making the rounds of Moscow these days that goes something like this: If you have 100 rubles you have 100 friends. But if you don't have 100 rubles marry as Adzhubei did The reference, of course, is to Alexei Adzhubei who married the boss's daughter and later got to be editor of the government news paper Izvestia. The boss is Pre mier Nikita Khrushchev. By being editor of Izvestia he could see the United States with his boss and then have time for a journalistic convention in Paris And by being in Paris he could make time for a canvass of the Bourgeois, decadent phenomena known as Fans night life. Sunday night Adzhubei probably was the envy of the comrades He was able to taste what back home would be strictly forbidden fruit a movie called "Liaisons uangereuses" and one which the French government considers so daring it won't let it be exported Liaisons Dangcreuses is laie oi seduction told with a mm imum of women's clothing and is one of the "sex-ridden capitalist movies" frequently harpooned in Izvestia. The film, directed by Roger Vadim who put Brigitte Badot on the love map, makes a very un-Soviet use of a telephone at one point by balancing it on the bare exterior of a nymph stretched out on a bed. Azhubei's comments were not im mediately known, but he is still astounding Parisians by behaving unlike an Izvestia editor. First he and the Premier's daughter Rada went to Christmas midnight mass at Notre Dame Cathedral. Dawn on Christmas Day found them covered with confetti, laughing and throwing paper pellets at each other in a Paris night spot. 'The French certainly know- how to enjoy themselves," Adzhu bei chortled to a reporter. Suitor Owns Sniper Shot PAINESVILLE. Ohio (AP) Floyd E. Hargrove. 35. said in a stenographic statement Sunday night that he was the sniper whose rifle shot on Christmas Eve killed the husband of the woman he loved. Edward R. Ostrander. Lake County prosecutor, told newsmen Hargrove related he fired the fa tal Diuiet through a kitchen win dow at Charles R. Clark, 35. Authorities said they were hav ing trouble finding evidence to support Hargrove's account. Har grove, divorced father of five, is being held as a material witness. Hargrove told of an eight-month love affair with Clark's beautfiul brunette wife, Lois, 30, mother of four, authorities said. She has ad- mitted the affair, addine that her husband was not aware of it. The prosecutor said there were several vague points in Har. grove's statement. Food Poisoning Hits Detroit DETROIT (AP) - Two women died and 25 persons, inchiriinp eight children, were stricken ill with food poisoning in Detroit Sunday. The dead were Anna Kahanak, 61, and Isabella Tail, 79. Nineteen were admitted to hos pitals, and six were treated and released. Detective Set. Dave Harris nl the Homicide Bureau said there was no reason for general alarm. "There was no connection be tween the scattered attacks," Har ris said. "In each case the trou ble seemed to stem from food that had spoiled or that hadn't been properly prepared."

On Sunday night, the Inter- Union Strike Committee, which represents some 900 union work-. ers idled by the strike, presented the sixth in a series of television programs to tell its side of the dispute. One of the speakers was Dr. William B. Cate, representing the Portland Council of Qhurches. He said management had declined the council's offer to help settle the strike. If both sides bargained seriously, Cate said, the strike could be settled. Other speakers criticized man agement for refusing to accept of fers from the council and from Oregon Gov. Mark Hatfield to help settle the strike. The other speakers represented the Typo graphical Union, the Mailers Un ion and the Newspaper Guild. The strike began Nov. 10 when the stereotypers walked off the job in a contract dispute. Other unions at the two plants voted not to cross the stereotypers' picket line. However, some 15 members of the Newspaper Guild, the union of newsmen and photographers, have gone back to work. The two papers have published a joint edition at The Oregonian plant since the strike began. Sub scribers have been receiving only six editions a week. . In the Saturday edition, the newspapers announced subscrip tion rates for the month of De cember will be reduced to $1.75 a month for daily and Sunday. The rate before the strike was $1.95.
