KU Castroites Say Revolt Improbable
Two Castro supporters said that a planned invasion of Cuba by Cuban counter-revolutionaries with the aid of U. S. armed forces is possible but improbable.
Paul Bowlyb, Long Beach, Calif. graduate student, and Luis Mayor, Placecas, Cuba, junior, in an interview Sunday agreed that if a counter-revolution did take place it would be the "worst blood-bath that ever occurred."
THE INVASION is being planned by a group of anti-Castro Cubans in exile in Miami and led by Jose Miro Cardona, Castro's first prime minister.
Bowley visited Cuba for ten days during Christmas vacation as a member of the "Fair Play for Cuba" group who were guests of the Cuban government and toured the island.
Bowley said that the Cardona supporters were people who had lost property and influence during and after the Castro revolution. He laughed at a recent newspaper report that said the Cardona supporters had promised to establish free elections and end the executions once in power. He said that all the exiles wanted was to regain their old power, influence and money.
Mayor surmised that "Cardona doesn't have the guts to go and do
Architect to Speak On "Problems Today"
R. Buckminster Fuller, noted architect and engineer, will give a public lecture on "Problems Today" at 4 p.m. Thursday in Bailey Auditorium.
Fuller is well known for his Geodesic domes, built throughout the world with prefabricated units joined together over a progressively inflated doughnut-shaped balloon. He built and designed one for the United States' main pavilion at the American Exchange Exhibit in Moscow in 1959.

that. He can't do it from outside Cuba without the aid of U. S. Marines, and Castro would know about it coming.
"Every revolution from the outside has been caught. Castro's first attempt to overthrow Batista (the deposed Cuban ruler) with 82 men was caught and only 12 lived. They would have to bring about a revolution from the inside of Cuba and I don't see how they could do it."
BOWLBY AND MAYOR agreed that the counter - revolutionaries could go through the U. S. Naval base at Guantanamo Bay. They added that Castro is avoiding an attack on the base because it would give the United States a reason to strike back.
Bowlby continued:
"Iimagine the present reaction a counter-revolutionist would receive if he knocked on the door of a campesino (farmer) and asked, 'Give me help, hide me, protect me, give me food and water, I'm from the United Fruit Company.' The campessino wouldn't help because the Cubans don't want to go back to the old days."
Mayor said:
"Cardona would bring back the old days. According to the article in the paper, he would re-establish the investments, the free enterprise system and return the confiscated property to the original owners. This would cause a considerable struggle, especially among the peasants."
