Informed sources said the men were believed to have been seized sometime ago but that the announcement was delayed to build up the revolutionary regime's "case" against the United States on the eve of President-elect John F. Kennedy's inauguration.
THE GOVERNMENT CLAIMED the Americans contended they had landed in their boat because they were "lost." But it said the men identified photographs showing Miami, Fla. "training grounds" for anti-Castro forces.
It was also claimed that the group jettisoned weapons when they sighted Cuban naval vessels approaching.
The cabinet decreed today that employees of the U.S. Naval Base at Guantanamo who do not live on the base must get special government passes to travel to and from work hereafter.
PERSONS AFFECTED by the order — about 3,200 of the Base's 4,000 Cuban employees and probably some American civilians — will be required to get their passes from Guantanamo City authorities within 10 days.

Dominican Republic Truck Imports Cut
University Daily Kansan
WASHINGTON — (UPI)— The United States today announced a ban on exports to the Dominican Republic of trucks, parts to be used for trucks, crude oil, gasoline and some other petroleum products.
The Commerce department said shipments from the United States to the Dominican Republic of these items would be blocked "in furtherance of U.S. foreign policy and pursuant to the Jan. 4 resolution of the Council of the Organization of American States."
GOPs Oppose Changes In Rules Committee
WASHINGTON — (UPI) House Republican leaders took a unanimous stand today against a Democratic plan to liberalize the House rules committee by enlarging its membership.
The plan, drafted by Speaker Sam Rayburn and approved overwhelmingly by Democratic members at a party caucus yesterday, is designed to smash a threatened rules committee roadblock against key measures on President-elect John F. Kennedy's liberal legislative program.
THE REPUBLICAN policy committee, comprising 27 key GOP members, approved without dissent a resolution assailing the plan as an effort to "pack" the committee.
Republican whip Leslie C. Arends, Illinois, said the "great preponderance" of the 174 GOP House members would follow the committee's recommendation and vote against the Democratic move to enlarge the rules group from 12 to 15 members.
He declined to forecast the outcome.
"THERE IS NO JUSTIFICATION for a change," said Rep. John W. Byrnes, R-Wis., chairman of the GOP policy group.
Rayburn is said to be counting on picking up at least 20 Republican votes when the issue comes to the House floor, probably next week. He needs these votes to offset defections by an as yet undetermined number of Southern members who intend to back rules chairman Howard W. Smith, D-Va., in opposing the plan.
Mental Hospital Cut Criticized
TOPEKA A — (UFI) — Dr. George W. Jackson, director of institutions, disapproved of Gov. John Anderson's budget recommendation to cut off the mental hospital building fund levy for a year.
"We have no assurance," Dr. Jackson said, "it will last for only a year. Once those guys (educational officials) get their snout in the trough, you'll never get it out."
Anderson told newsmen that he was merely "shifting the emphasis" for a year. He said the Division of Institutional Management does not have plans for new construction, while the institutions of higher learning are in dire need of more buildings.
