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.

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

men-prisoners, as they saw their
property confiscated by the gov
ernment because they had spoken
out of turn about the Castro re
gime.
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.

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.,

The Russians plan a fast return

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.

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

The dead were Anna Kahanak,

Nineteen were admitted to hos

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

PORTLAND (AP)-The strike
against Portland's two newspa
pers, The Oregonian and Oregon
Journal, went into its 49th day to
day with no meetings reported
scheduled between management
and the striking Stereotypers Un
ion.
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.
