Newsmen Disagree on Castro Policies
Three veteran newsmen who covered the Cuban revolution disagreed sharply whether Premier Fidel Castro has fallen under communist control.
The "What Happened to Castro?" debate took place at the annual convention of the American Society of Newspaper Editors (ASNE) which had Castro as its honored guest a year ago.
Participants were Jules Dubois of the Chicago Tribune, Herbert L. Matthews of the New York Times, and Joseph Alsop of the New York Herald Tribune. a UPI report said.
The disagreement was over whether Castro has fallen under communist control or not. The participants of the "what happened to Castro?" debate were Jules Dubois of the Chicago Tribune, Herbert L. Matthews of the New York Times, and Joseph Alsop of the New York Herald-Tribune.
Dubois Was KU Speaker
Dubois was a Speaker.
Dubois, the Tribune's Latin American correspondent, delivered the 11th annual William Allen White lecture here on February 10th, and was the recipient of the William Allen
White Foundation's 1960 national citation for journalistic merit.
During the lecture, Mr. Dubois called the situation in Cuba "the most concentrated brainwashing operation in contemporary Latin American history." His address was met with jeers and posters brandished by KU students from Cuba.
Mr. Dubois was denounced for his coverage of Cuba and his accusations of communist infiltration in Cuba on at least three different occasions here at KU.
Posters Slam Dubois
Posters carried by the Cuban students proclaimed "Jules Dubois, Man With 1000 Faces" and "Latin America Energetically Protests Communism Remarks."
During the William Allen White lecture, one student interrupted Mr. Dubois' speech with screams of "That's a lie! You lie!" Following the address, Cuban students rose to their feet, velling and ieering.
One Cuban student yelled, "Tell the whole truth, Dubois. Say that the Cubans are hungry, not communistic. We are not with Russia, we are with Cuba."
Dubois told the editors during the convention:
"Castro has become a power-mad demagogue, afflicted with what resembles the paranoia of Adolf Hitler. Cornered by his own mistakes, he has permitted the Communists to take over in Cuba, and convert it into a base for subversive operations in all of Latin America."
Matthews said the extent of communist influence in Cuba "has been greatly exaggerated."
While Cuban leaders have done many "rash, impetuous, amateurish, unfair and unjust" things, he said, "nearly all of the manifestations that are being labeled communist are really a combination of extreme nationalism and radicalism."
Alsop Disagrees
Alsop said he does not think that Cuba as yet "bears the marks of a truly communist show." He said its leaders "are too undisciplined and emotionally scattered to be communist"; that Communists "never act against their own interest—as Cuban leaders often do—simply because they enjoy taking emotional hot baths."
The editors, at their opening session earlier, were told by Eugene Pulliam, Jr., of the Indianapolis News that they will not win their battle for free access to government news until they enlist widespread public support.
Right to Know At Stake
Pulliam said "the people's right to know" is at stake, but the editors "still have not convinced the majority of our readers that this fight is as important to them as it is to us."
During the Castro debate, Dubois and Alsop agreed there should be no "reprisals" against Castro for his anti-American statements and actions.
"We should continue to give him enough rope to hang himself, and the Cuban people will take care of him," Dubois said. "I think the policy of our government so far has been a wise one."
Alsop said a policy of reprisals would "entangle us in a series of ill-for-tat actions that will continue until we send the Marines."
Pulliam, vice chairman of the ASNE's Freedom of Information committee, said the public must be
made aware that there is only one way for people to "keep the government as their servant instead of their master." He said that way is for citizens to be fully informed about the activities, policies and plans of all government agencies.
Defendant Taxes Judge's Patience
BOSTON—(UPI)—Judges should write brief opinions in deciding cases, according to Chief Justice J. Edgar Murdock of the Tax Court of the United States.
To illustrate his point, he told the Massachusetts Bar Assn. of a tax court case in which a taxpayer came into court and testified, "As God is my judge, I do not owe this tax."
This, said Murdock, was the judge's decision:
"He's not. I am. You do."
