! The-
Day's lews
M By FRANK JENKINS
"Ve've broken off diplomatic re
lations with the Castro govern
ment of Cuba a step fully justi
fied under the circumstances. Not
only has Castro been calling us
every foul name he can lay his
tongue to. Not only has he been
making reckless and inflammato
ry statements, including absurd
charges that we are planning to
Invade Cuba within a matter of
hours.
He is also making it plain that
bis purpose is to make of Cuba
a communist MILITARY OUT
POST IN THE WESTERN HEM
ISPHERE. That, of course, we
can not and must not tolerate.
We have every possible juslifi-l
cation for taking the step we
have taken.
The big question:
WHAT DO WE DO NEXT?
An interesting suggestion comes
from South America, where in
Argentina and Brazil there is talk
f a special hemisphere-wide con
fcrence to deal with the situation
created by the break. Raymundo
Padilha, chairman of the foreign
relations committee of the Brazili
an chamber of deputies (corre
sponding roughly to our house of
representatives), says this morn
ing: "Cuba has placed itself outside
the Pan-American system and has
become a COMMUNIST BRIDGE
HEAD AND STRONGHOLD in the
Hemisphere. The Organization of
American States should call an
immediate meeting and take a
collective stand against Cuba."
Vhat makes sense.
It takes us out of the position
f the Big Shot who insists on
running everything. It makes of
the Castro business in Cuba, with
its dangerous background of com
munist intrigue, a matter of mu
tual concern to ALL OF THE
AMERICAS.
It aligns all of us in the West
ern Hemisphere in a shoulder-to-shoulder
defense against commu
nist aggression.
One more question:
What of Guantanamo?
Here is its background.
In April of 1898, we went to
war with Spain. Our immediate
Provocation to war was the sink
ing of one of our battleships (the
Maine) in Cuban waters. We
charged that the Spaniards did
it. Our REAL reason was to free
Cuba from Spanish misrule
The war to liberate Cuba lasted
113 days. After the liberation,
Cuba was ruled for several years
by American governors. In 1901
what was known as the Piatt
Amendment (to the army appro
priation bill before the U.S. con
gress) demanded from Cuba a
lease of Guantanamo as a naval
base. It included other conditions
too voluminous to be gone into
here. The Cubans objected to the
Piatt Amendment, but finally
gave in and included it in their
constitution, which was adopted
in 1901. We finally repealed the
Piatt Amendment in 1934
That is the background of our
claim to the Guantanamo base.
v This should be added:
Back in 1901 we were planning
the Panama Canal. If built, it
must be PROTECTED. The navy
was then our big weapon of de
fense for the Canal. That made
Guantanamo highly important to
us.
The situation has changed. First!
war in the air and now MISSILE
warfare are our weapons for de
fense of the Canal. Under these
. circumstances, Guantanamo is
less important.
But-
, W:e cant stand by and permit
Castro to take Guantanamo and
then TURN IT OVER TO THE
COMMUNISTS as a base of oper
' ations from which to extend com
munism throughout
Hemisphere.

Pierre Salinger, press secretary for President-elect

farm issue was only the first of a series.
This indicated today's meeting in itself would bring
no decision on what steps Kennedy might take to Improve
farm prices and income.
Salinger announced also

The blast rocked the six-jet

for nearly a mile, hurling fiery
debris in every direction. Several
small fires were started in woods

U.S. To Ask
Charge Drop
WASHINGTON (UPI) - The'
Marine Corps commandant; who
already has frowned on swagger
sucks and close-order drill, now
has come out against yellow socks,
fat Marines, yes men, and un
belted coats.
In a 17-page annual message,
which read more like a down-to-
earth pep talk than the usual mili
tary document. Gen. David M.
Shoup also said that Marines
sometimes "fall below our usual
high standards."
He mentioned, as an example,
the sort of officer whose uniform
'look like it belonged to some
one who retired in 1940."
A few of these people are still
around," Shoup said Wednesday.
"We must do something about
them.'.'
The commandant said sloppiness
can "chip away at Marine Corps
stature." He said if the day ever
came when a Marine looked upon
his role as only a job "we are
headed for the Smithsonian Insti
tute as another relic."
On the subject of unbelted
coals, Shoup said a proposal for
aq unbelted uniform is before hurt
but he has decided to reject it.
He hasn't made up his mind as
yet about a proposal for a "year
around green uniform," he added.
On yes men, the commandant1
said that a Marine who would
give up his own ideas "to align
with me, before my decision, is
useless to me."
Shoup did not explain his re
mark about "yellow socks," but
presumably his aversion' would
apply to any unduly loud attire.

SALEM (AP) A member of
the Governor's Advisory Commit
tee on Medical Care for the Aged
called the suggested program in
adequate as the final report was
presented to Gov. Mark O. Hat
field Wednesday.
Dr. Wesley G. Nicholson, Con-
crecational minister from Eu
gene, said, "I do not think this
meets the needs of our people."
Hatfield said there was no
doubt in his mind that lt would
not cover al! the needy but was
merely a start.
He said this stale, like others,
was leeling lis way in a now
field and this was a beginning
that could provide data on which
to build a more adequate program.
Dr. Nicholson said the program
would apply only to persons 65
and over with a maximum In
come of $1,500 or married cou
ples with a maximum income of
$2,000. He said this is only $500
more than the maximum for old
ago assistance under welfare,
He said he signed the report
because he agreed with it as far
as it went.
The report should have present
ed the picture of the entire need
and not been confuted to the
framework ol a budgetary figure
worked out in advance, he said,
The program was built on a
budget of $13 million for the next
biennium with $4.5 million nf that
state money. The federal govern
ment would pay most of the re
mainder with the counties also
contributing.
Dr. Nicholson said by the time
person covered pays the $100
deductible for physician service
and the difference between the
cost of a hospital room and the
$10 per day allowed for hospital
care this will not be much help.
He said as chairman of the
state Council on Aging set up un
der the legislature he was bound
to take this position.
Chairman Joseph E. Harvey
Jr., who is chairman ef this
committee and the ilata Welfare
Commission, said the plan re
ceived overall approval from
agencies concerned. He said that
various groups felt the payments
proposed for them were too low
in most cases. ,
Harvey said the plan was de
signed with the governor's budget
in mind. He said it would cover
about half the needy 65 and over.
Those covered would have the
option of direct medicare pay
ments or subsized car under
private health Insurance.
Harvey said the- secretary of
Health, Education and Welfare
might not approve the plan.
Hallleld said on the basis of
the debates in Congress prior to
passage it appeared that it had a
broad and flexible plan in mind.
"It they take that broad and
liberal approach," Hatfield said,
"I don't see why they would ob
ject." The proposal now goes to the
state legislature. It recommend
ed $100 deductible physicians
payments with a $2,000 maxi
mum; $10 a day for 31 days hos
pital care and 80 per cent of the
cost of other hospital services
with a $2,000 maximum; and $5
a day nursing home care follow
ing hospitalization with each day
in a nursing home counting as
.one-half day of hospitalization.
