Cuba Seen as Unlikely Spot for Soviet Stand
By United Press International
By United Press International Since Nikita Khrushchev is a realist and a good tactician, he must have foreseen at least the possibility that the United States eventually would call a halt to his buildup of Cuba as a Caribbean Communist arsenal.
And just as President Kennedy foresaw a possible Soviet retaliatory move against Berlin and took steps to forestall it, so Khrushchev must also have considered his next step.
TO BELIEVE OTHERWISE would be to believe the Soviet leader totally incapable of logic and so to increase the danger of world nuclear disaster through simple miscalculation.
If initial Soviet reaction to the Cuban weapons blockade seemed uncertain, it could well have been less a matter of surprise than the need to survey the Soviets' own timetable.
A number of reasons, all speculative, have been advanced for the Soviet course of action in Cuba. The island now is estimated to have at least $200 million worth of Soviet arms, including nuclear-carrying missiles.
THE SIMPLEST THEORY is that the weapons would make easier the export of Castro's revolution to other Latin American nations by violent means.
Another is that Khrushchev intended to use Cuba to increase his bargaining position on Berlin.
And a third is that a Soviet base in Cuba might make the United States more agreeable to Soviet demands that foreign bases all over the world be eliminated.
There may be some validity in all three, but it seems highly unlikely that Khrushchev deliberately would seek a war over Cuba, far from Soviet supply lines and at a cost the Russian people inevitably would have to pay.
KHRUSHCHEV'S WORLD strategy requires a high degree of maneuverability, which already has been reduced by his own quarrel with Red China, China's attack on India and his own internal difficulties.
It seems highly unlikely that he would reduce this maneuverability further by entrusting the decision over use of nuclear weapons to the unpredictable Fidel Castro.
There has been the suggestion that stepped up Soviet activities in Cuba have been but a smoke screen for planned Soviet action against Berlin.
Certainly from the standpoint of logistics Berlin would seem the most logical Soviet objective.
But if Khrushchev was operating with twin objectives, so was President Kennedy. Defense of the American hemisphere was but one American determination; to defend Berlin was another.

Judge Waxes Poetic
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — (UPI) — Federal Judge H. H. Grooms waxed poetic yesterday in dismissing a suit against a trucking firm for the second time. His order said in part:
'Dismissed once you lack of faith,' the court of appeals says disminer it.
"Dismiss it again, then rebury it.
"Thus, belted and flayed,
"To rest it will be laid
"To try to kill."
"Twice dead."
