A Report From Cuba; Who Is Fidel Castro?

By Jaab NeOer (Editor* N<Hc The following la rxH a complete *tory We visited for ten day* in Cub*. and ten day* ■ la not enough time tor • complete anylaala ol any Issue •* comptex, a* the Cuban »rtuaUon Thu la a gathering at odd* and end* in the hope that It will give the reader* some bad* to form opinion* on the new* ot the day.l No pernon (tends higher in the, esteem of the Cuban people than Fidel Castro Dr. Castro come* from a batter than average Cuban family financially, and la an educated man. having a doctorate of law degree. The name Castro I*, a common one in Cuba, but the name Fidel ia rather unusual, thus , the people refer to him a* Fidel, and there I* no doubt a* to whom { they mean. The man ia a political leader. While he was with the rebel forces during the revolution, he Is not a military leader, as such. This work was left to his brother. Raul. Che Guevera. and the late and highly! respected Emilio Cienfuegoa. But it was the voice of Castro, speak-' ing against the injustices of the I Batista dictatorship, that sparked the revolution. Today, after the success of the revolution. Castro is the prime minister of Cuba, not the president. But make no mistake, what, he says goes. And very few people oppose what he says or does—not out of fear, principally, but out of respect. Even those who dislike the man and his methods have to admire what he is doing. Castro is helping the poor people of Cuba—and in a nation where the average income is S4OO per year—there are many of them. Many people wonder as to his motives. The following may give some insight. One person we talked to was a 72-year-old doctor of theology. This man has dedicated his life to helping the Cuban people through his church. He is a man of respected position throughcut the world, having lectured at Harvard and the Smithsonian Institute. He stated that the Cuban government of today is the most honest government in the country in his lifetime. It is making an honest effort to help the people instead of bleeding them. Another insight came from one of our group—Dr. Lillias Maclntyre .a medical doctor specializing in psychiatry in a New York mental hospital. She watched Castro for two hours of his television program last Wednesday. Dr. MacIntyre stated that it was by no means a psychoanalysis, but some

Then ; be goes on to the next subject, doing the same thing with it. When be has finished, the people, all the 1 people, know what be has said, and what the government is doing. Another item that will give a little broader idea of Castro is one < of the Cuban laws. Granted this J law could be repealed at any time. , but at least it was created. No living revolutionary hero can be honored by the dedication of- a . building, bridge, street, statue or any other honor of this type. Castro is reported to have said that these things could wait until the men in question were dead, and then the Cuban people could judge as to whether what they had done was worth such honors. The most honored man in Cuba today in the ■ way of statues and monuments is still Jose Marti, revolutionary 1 leader during the Spanish-Ameri--1 can war. One question that haunts Americans is, is <Castro a Communist? Most of the intelligent people we talked to don t think so, and none . had any real basis for saying so. i No one felt that there was any ; connection between this man and Soviet Russia, whatever his politics might be. Right now. Cuba is in the heady ozone of liberation and freedom, and no one is go- . ing to tell them what to do. What the future holds is another matter. It is felt that his program is socialistic—there's no denying It. But it is felt that It is a mistake to brand the thing as Communism just to call names. The people of , Cuba don’t know what system they are living under, but they like it,

And he to being successful at it because he ia helping his people If he can struggle through some lean years economically, and keep his government clean, Fidel Castro will become a Nasser of the Carribean. a point of admiration tor all the Latin American countries. a symbol of independence for all our neighbors to the south And one other point. Every person must judge for himself what he thinks of the man. The main point is that he is making what is considered by all, even those who detest his tactics, an honest effort to help his people. And some of those people have for years been reduced to living like animals. They need the help they are getting, and they know where it is coming from.

Nixon To Speak In Chicago Tonight CHICAGO <UPII — Vice President Richard M. Nixon flew into Chicago eight hours ahead of schedule today for an address opening the 1960 campaign and caught the official greeting party fast asleep. A twin-engine Convair carrying Nixon, his wife Patricia and a party of 13 landed at Midway Airport at 5:07 a.m. after fog for a time threatened to force it to change course and set down at Cleveland. Illinois Republican leaders who had planned to greet the vice president at the airport slept through the landing. The party was greeted instead by a handful of police and Secret Se rvi c e agents, then whisked downtown to the Sheraton-Blackstone hotel. Nixon will speak to more than 6,400 persons tonight at a 9100 a plate dinner in the International Amphitheatre, the same hall where he hopes to win the Republican presidential nomination next summer. The dinner will be the biggest of more than 75 such fund-raising affairs throughout the nation. Nixon will speak for 30 minutes, then introduce President Eisenhower over a closed-circuit network. Ei- ' senhower speaks from Los Angeles. . .. Nixon’s chartered plane took off from New York before midnight and refueled at Detroit. Capt. John S. Shackelford, the pilot, was notified that fog would prevent a landing in Chicago for five hoU.rs. • He turned around and headed for Cleveland but 15 minutes later the weather at Chicago took a turn for the better and the pilot reversed course again and put the plan down here.

County Budget Share Over Nine Million Adams county t a *P a y ers , wou ld be required to pay out approximately $9,376,500 in federal taxes as their share of the cost of the federal spending program of $79.8 billion in the proposed budget for the fiscal year 1960-61 now under consideration by congress, according to an estimate of the Indiana state Chamber of Commerce. This estimate was based on the chamber’s calculations that Indiana citizens and businesses as a whole would have to bear 2.35 per cent ($1,875,000,000) of the total federal costs and that this county would bear .5 per cent of the state’s share of the costs. This county's estimated share of the tax cost of the proposed budget is 4.4 times the total property taxes of $2,138,058 levied in the county for payment in 1960 to support schools and all services of local governments. Noting that the budget proposed by President Eisenhower contemplates a surplus of some $4.2 billion over expenditures, the federal finance committee of the state Chamber has recommended that the congress initiate a five-year program of gradual tax reduction? primarily in the individual and corporate income tax fields, along with federal debt retirement. The committee action, according to Jack E. Reich, state chamber executive vice president, was based on the belief that tax reform would result in establishment of more new business ventures and growth in present businesses, helping to create additional millions Os jobs needed by the nation’s increasing population, as well as providing increased governmental tax revenues which could be used to decrease the debt.
