Communistic Take-Over In Cuba Described By JOSEPHINE BEGINATO "If you Americans won't fight communism for the sake of the world, you must do it for the sake of your own freedom and pride," Dr. Nicolas Gonzales de Mendoza told the audience at the Oct. 16 meeting of the Knife an Fork Club in Klamath Falls. "Communism can and docs take over a country with the suppoit of only five per cent of the population," he continued, "and once it is in power, it can not be overthrown from within. Help must come from outside." These and other salient facts were stated forcefully by the speaker, a native-born Cuban at torney who fled Cuba with 15 and his clothes, following Fidel Castro's revolution and the be ginning of the Communist re gime. "Americans ' are lethargic, with an attitude of 'it can't hap pen here,' " said Mendoza, "and their failure to invoke the Mon roe Doctrine in the Cuban crisis along with their acceptance of the myth that communism finds success only in underdeveloped, underprivileged and backward areas of the world will result in the United States being sur rounded by a sea of commu nism." Americans, according to Dr. Mendoza, believed that Cuba would never accept communism because of the country's Cath olic background, the people's be lief in individual freedom, and their trust in "Uncle Sam," who would never tolerate any foreign power only 90 miles from his shores. In spite of these facts, Castro and communism now hold the country in a "police state" dictatorship, which devel oped logically from the histori- BASIN BRIEFS BONANZA MR. AND MRS.

Castro first gained power and fame, and the support of the Cubans, because of his fight against the dictator, Battista. When the dictator warned the people of the Communist back ground of the revolution, most Cubans discounted the statement as a standard attempt to dis credit a power-hungry man. The years-long dependence on t h e United States contributed as well to Cuba's downfall, said Mendoza, because any country conditioned to look outside for leadership fails to mature. As a result of their Spanish heritage, the Cubans will follow a man of action, a strong man, a factor which leads to the suc cess of a dictatorship form of government in their country. This psychology, according to Mendoza, is not understood by most Americans, who con sequently insist on giving mone tary aid with the proviso that the man selected by the Unit ed Slates be the head of the gov ernment, which is modeled after a democracy or republic, forms which do not work in Cuba, said Mendoza. "All Communist activities in (he whole of Latin America arc part of a well-thought-out plan," the speaker pointed out, "with each country being added for good reason to the Communist empire. The result will be the encirclement of the United States by communism." Mendoza closed with a fervent appeal to all Americans to move public opinion, the same public opinion which made the United States the great world power it is today' This can be done, he said, only if Americans cease to delegate their power to paid officials, and insist on a real government "of the people, by the people, and for the pen- By CLAY R.

Otherwise the communis tic plan of divide and conquer, by which communism will take over one country at a time, will leave the United States alone in a communistic western world. "The United States is the hope of all free people," Mendoza pleaded, "and must, for the sake of freedom, act now." Mendoza also touched brief ly on Castro's background and training as a Communist, and on his personality he lived in the Mendoza home for II months, while the doctor, h i s American-born wife and four children, stayed in their own guest house. The speaker men- tioned briefly the Cubans in ex ile and their troubles with the United States government in their fight to free Cuba. Seated at the head table were Frank Drew, president of the group, Mrs. Drew; Orth Sise more, who introduced the speak er; and David Davis, bishop of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, who gave the invocation, and Mrs. Davis. , Drew announced that the next meeting of the group, scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 6, at the Winema Hotel, will feature Dr. R. C. Young, whose topic is "America Meets the Challenge of World Leadership." Modoc Plans Fandango Days Again Nexf Year PAGE 14 HERALD AND NEWS, Monday, October 21, 1963 Klamath Falls, Oregon ALTURAS Modoc County's "Fandango Days," held July 3-6 in 1963, will be staged again next year, according to the Mo doc County Chamber of Com merce. Chamber manager A. F. Van Horn said. "There were mis takes made in planning and in preparation, but almost without exception the sponsors, the par ticipants, and the contestants agreed that our first annual Fandango Days was the best thing that has happened in Mo doc Couniy for many years." Thd 1964 celebration will be held July 4-5, the chamber re ported. Plans are now being made to include all of this year's events plus a carnival, square dancing, kart races, and other attractions. The World Series of Cutting Horse Events, which drew the best horses in the world, will again be held, but it was decided to reduce the cutting horse purse. In explaining this move Van Horn stated, "We feel that the $3,000 purse was a little rich for us, as well as bringing such high caliber horses that it eliminated the regional h o r s e s in the minate some of the top horses event. It Is our hope that the lower purse will perhaps cli- and open the event to ttve fine cutting horses we have in the West and Northwest." DOfOL BUICK TURBINE DRIVE r II?' UWj KK1 IK ." 1 1 i m an.
