Professors Blame U.S. For Cuban Troubles
Two KU professors blame the United States for much of the strained relationship between this country and Cuba.
Robert D. Tomasek, assistant professor of political science, and Seymour Menton, associate professor of romance languages, traced the United States' role in the revolution at the Current Events Forum Friday.
Prof. Tomasek said that a series of United States blunders has given Castro legitimate grounds for complaint.
"The United States signed an agreement to send arms to the pre-Batista government. Shortly after, Batista executed his coup d'etat. Unfortunately the arms were sent to Havana when Castro started his revolution.
"Critics in the U.S. State Department said that the arms should be stopped. Since these arms were being used to fight Castro, he identified the United States as being in support of Batista.
"It is true that the United States finally stopped the assistance, but it was too late. This was the responsibility of the United States," Prof. Tomasek said.
Has Other Complaints
"The outcome of these hearings was a statement made by a U.S. Senator which implied that we should use economic warfare against Cuba. You can't blame Castro for not liking this" he said.
Has Other Comp. Prof. Tomasek said that Castro has other complaints, such as the Congressional hearings on the testimony of Pedro Diaz Lanz, former head of the Cuban Revolutionary Air Force and now a professed foe of Castro.
Prof. Tomasek then directed 'his criticism towards the American press'
"The press played up the trials while playing down the land re-

Van Doren Says TV Show Rigged
Van Doren, who won $129,000 on the new defunct "21" show, told a house subcommittee that producer Albert Freedman supplied him with questions, and with some of the answers, before each of his appearances.
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — Charles Van Doren admitted today that his 14 money-winning TV quiz show appearances were rigged — even to the point of following a script written in advance.
"I have deceived my friends, and
He opened his testimony by reading in a low, steady voice a prepared statement telling his experiences on "21." Some 600 persons packed the hearing room.
I had millions of them." Van Doren said dry-eved and somber.
Testifying under subpoena, the one-time "quiz-whiz" said a friend first suggested that he ask to appear on "Tic Tac Dough," a show

which, like "21," was produced by Dan Enright and Jack Barry.
Van Doren said he easily passed the first examination for "Tic Tac Dough." Then he took a second test which was much longer and more difficult.
He said he was called the next week and told he had been chosen for "21."
This, he said was "supposedly an honor."
forms. Most of the American press was rather biased.
Van Doren said he was instructed in the rules, "By, I think, Dan Enright."
U. S. Should Leave Base
"Castro would get the press notices and think that the whole United States was against him," Prof. Tomasek charged.
Van Doren said Freedman then asked if "as a favor to him I would agree to an arrangement" to tie with Stempel when he appeared on the show.
He testified that before he got on the show, Freedman called him to his apartment. They had a conversation in the bedroom about the then champion, Herb Stempel.
Van Doren said he asked to appear honestly, but Freedman said that wouldn't work, that Stemple would beat him.
He added that the relationship between Cuba and the United States could be improved if the U.S. would abandon the Guantanamo Naval Base in Cuba.
Prof. Menton emphasized the role of the American press in the breakdown of relations.
I would like to make a plea to you to analyze events. Most Americans only know what appears in newspapers. Most people try to think clearly about what is happening, but the effect of propaganda is tremendous." he said.
First Social Revolution
"That's why they are not concerned with elections. They associate them with the corrupt proceedings prior to the revolution.
Prof. Menton said: "Unlike most Latin-American countries, Cuba has never had any type of social revolution. Today in Cuba, for the first time in 50 years, the Cuban people have control of their country.
A knight will speak at the next Humanities Lecture.
"The American people would like to see Castro establish a perfect democracy in a short period. The people of Cuba have had no experience in this type of government."
Prof. Menton said he thought that the American people objected to the goals of the revolution.
The main objection in the United States is in reference to the agrarian reform movement.
"They are suspicious of any form of nationalization. They must remember that the land reform is a symbolic act. After starting the revolution and gaining power a leader is pushed by the people to carry out his promises or he will be deserted," he said.

English Knight To Speak Here
