Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
From Washington this morning
Russia has informed the United
States that "several thousand'
Soviet troops will be withdrawn
from Cuba in the next three
weeks, diplomatic informants re
ported yesterday.
Tlial prompts two questions:
I. How many thousands are
"several" thousands?
2. How many Russians are
Cuba now?
As to Question No. J. this morn
ing's dispatches from Washington
say:
The number of troops which
would be withdrawn under the
new Kremlin assurance was not
precisely known, but speculation
turned on the point that SEVER
AL thousand would mean at least
3.000.
As to question No. 2, the latest
Washington dispatch says: "Offi
cial administration estimates are
that there are about 17.000 Rus
sians in Cuba now.
Which is to say:
There are 17JXM
Cuba now.
Russians in
that several
It is "speculated'
thousand would mean at least
3.0(10.
In other words:
It is presumed, or at least
hoped, that the number of Rus
sian troops in Cuba will soon be
reduced from 17,000 to 14,000.
Let's put it this way:
From the standpoint of the safe
ty of the Western Hemisphere,
which includes the U.S.A., that
is 14,000 TOO MANY.
One more question:
Why are these Russian troops in
Cuba?
There is, of course, no guaran
teed answer to that question.
Only the Soviet Union KNOWS
why they are there and w hy they
were sent there in the first place.
But it is assumed that the pur
pose is to make of Cuba a train
ing ground where communists
from all over Latin America may
he sent to receive instruction in
the latest methods of infiltration
and sabotage.
The purpose of such a program
would be the eventual winning of
ALL OF LATIN AMERICA for
communism.
That appears to he about the
long and the short of it.

coverage of White House social
evonls was "in abeyance" today
as a result of a brief uproar that
elicited charges of snobbery from
a Republican congressman.
It all began when the White
House announced a clampdown
on coverage of presidential social
events. A few hours later the
statement was reversed and the
matter left open.
But in the meantime. Rep. Ab

irate.
"The Kennedys are not the
owners of the White House." he
said. "They just have a four-year

The controversial New York

"I don't want to have any

of God, I'm not going to take any
less."
Reversing a "closed door" pol
