Castro Cites US in Bombings
HAVANNA — (UPI) Premier Fidel Castro said today Cuba had been bombed three times within the last 10 days by planes from the United States and compared the leaflet dropping attack on Havana with the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor.
Castro, in a marathon television and radio broadcast that lasted until the early hours today, spoke after a drink-crazed Cuban was accused of trying to assassinate him with a knife yesterday afternoon during a general strike.
The Cuban, identified as Roberto Salas Hernandez, was captured before he could get near Castro. Castro and Police Chief Maj. Elegenio Almceiras escorted him to a police station. He was removed from the jail to safety when a crowd gathered and threatened to lynch him.
Throughout his long speech Castro castigated the United States for permitting Florida-based planes to "bomb" Cuba and asked what would the U.S. reaction be if Canadian planes bombed automobile plants in the United States and the Capital City of Washington.
"Remember Pearl Harbor." Castro
Concerts Set For Next Week
Concerts by European musicians are scheduled next week on the KU Concert Course.
The Philharmonia Hungarica Orchestra will play at 8 p.m. next Friday at Hoch Auditorium and the Student Madrigal Choir of the University of Muenster, Germany, will sing next Saturday at 8 p.m. at Swarthout Recital Hall.
Philharmonia Hungarica describes itself as the only symphony orchestra which resulted from a bloody fight for freedom.
The orchestra is composed entirely of escapees from the 1956 Hungarian Revolution. It was formed while the musicians were billed in refugee camps as a means of providing work for the musicians, most of whom had been members of Hungary's foremost orchestras.
Donations of money, instruments and clothing helped the orchestra establish a concert tour throughout Europe. The group made its American debut Oct. 5 at Carnegie Hall.
Directed by Zoltan Roznyai, the orchestra will play Bartok's "Music for Strings, Percussion and Celeste" a suite from Kodály's "Hary Janos," Mendelsohn's "Italian Symphony" and the overture to "Oberon" by von Weber.
Members of the German madrigal choir will spend two days in Lawrence as guests of the Lawrence Rotary Club. The choir will attend the Philharmonia Hungarica concert Friday.
This will be the choir's second American tour. It has sung in most of the countries outside the Iron Curtain since its organization 11 years ago.
The concert here next Tuesday will include sacred and secular works and German folk songs. Choir director is Herma Kramm-Reuter.
British Brewers Halt Russian Vodka Sale
LONDON—(UPI) —A British importer said today that a Soviet offer to provide England with 500,000 fifths of vodka for Christmas sales has been turned down by a group of leading British brewers.
Thomas G. Slade, chairman of the vodka shipping agents who had arranged to take on the consignment, said the whole project has gone "phut."
"After a trip to Moscow, we had even arranged to bring the vodka prices down to whisky prices," Slade said.
But he complained that the brewers refused to handle such a large amount of vodka.
shouted into the microphone. "What a difference between what happened in Havana yesterday (Wednesday night) and the reaction of the United States to the bombing attack at Pearl Harbor.
"Remember the 47 victims. Young people. Old people. Workers and others. What would have happened in the United States if it had been a bombing by Canadian planes?"
Streets Clear Early
The streets of Havana were quiet early today as Castro spoke on. There were no particular precautions taken at the modernistic "U.N. style" American embassy where small groups demonstrated yesterday against the United States.
Castro spoke of three bombing incidents. Cuba has alleged that American-based planes bombed sugar plantations in Camagüey and
Pinar Del Rio provinces in recent weeks and that other planes bombed Havana Wednesday night.
Drop Anti-Castro Leaflets
Two persons were killed and 47 injured when Cuban warplanes and antiaircraft guns opened up on planes dropping anti-Castro leaflets over Havana. Others were injured when fast cars sped through the streets of Havana and their occupants hurled bombs.
"I don't know if they will give us airplanes in the United States (to fight back) but we will have to do something, maybe make a balloon," Casto said. "What are our enemies planning to do?"
"Eisenhower and Krushchev talked of peaceful solutions to world problems but we are receiving bombs from bases situated in the
United States. There is even a base here in Cuba which could be used as a war base to bombard us. It is much better equipped than we are."
(He did not name the base. The U.S. Navy has a base at Guantanamo, a fact known to all Cubans.) U.S. ambassador Phillip Bonsal called on Under Secretary of State Francisco Chivarry yesterday to request full information on the leaflet dropping. He said the U.S. government would investigate fully to see if U.S. laws were broken.
