McNamara Denies Reports On Soviet Troops In Cuba
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara has denounced statements by lawmakers questioning defense department figures on Soviet forces in Cuba, it was reported today.
Although not referring to anyone by name, McNamara was said to have told the House Armed Services Committee such statements were "ir-responsible" and "disgraceful."
Rep. Samuel S. Stratton, D-N.Y., charged today that Sen. Kenneth B. Keating, R-N.Y., "has been guilty of disgraceful irresponsibility in his frantic efforts to get headlines by pretending he knows more about what is going on in Cuba today then
Stratton said that on the basis of top-level briefings by McNamara and Lt. Gen. Joseph Carroll, Defense intelligence chief, "I can say without qualification that the senator (Keating) is talking through his hat."
do the properly designated intelligence agencies of our Department of Defense."
AS McNAMARA cracked back at his critics during a closed session with the Armed Services Committee yesterday, Rep. Donald C. Bruce, R-Ind., charged in a House speech that the Russians actually sent 82 to 88 offensive missions to Cuba.
Proposed Resolution Could Allow Liquor Sales in State
TOPEKA — (UPI) — A resolution for the repeal of the constitutional ban against the sale of liquor was introduced in the Kansas Senate yesterday.
Sen. Wade A. Myers, D-Emporia, introduced a measure which would put repeal of the liquor amendment up to the state's voters in the next general election.
Bruce said the information had been given to the State Department by diplomats of friendly nations stationed in Cuba, but the American people had not been told of it.
The proposal, Myers said, would allow the legislature to vote in anything they wanted on liquor laws.
This means there are 40 or more such rockets still hidden on the island. Bruce said.
"It could even vote in prohibition if it wanted to," he added.
rather than the 42 removed at U.S. insistence.
The Pentagon issued a denial, terming Bruce's statements "incorrect."
Myers said he believes a bill being pushed by the state hotel and motel commission to allow liquor by the drink in restricted circumstances was unconstitutional. The commission plan would permit only restaurants with 30 or more booths to serve liquor by the drink.
- Revise nearly all of the state's civil law procedure.
- In other action, the Senate received legislation which would:
- Ban private entrances or exits to state highways without permits from the state highway commission, excepting present roads unless they affect public safety, welfare or preservation of the highway.
"No friendly government has so informed the United States," the Pentagon said. "There remains no credible evidence that there are offensive Soviet weapons in Cuba."
Visiting Professor Returns to England
Alec Nove, Rose Morgan visiting professor, will leave today for England after a full semester at KU.
Stratton said that Keating, "and others like him," should "put up or shut up on Cuba."
"UNDER ORDINARY circumstances no one would begrudge the senator his little fun and another chance at publicity," Stratton said. "But when a high public official undertakes to undermine public confidence in our defense officials at a time of serious military threat, then he is doing a grave disservice to his nation's security."
Prof. Nove will resume teaching at the London School of Economics. Next year he will head a new department at the University of Glasgow and will edit "Soviet Studies," one of the oldest scholarly journals in the field.
