Precautions Taken At Guantanamo Base

EDITORS NOTE: United Press International roving reporter Jack V. Fox is on the scene at the >U-S- naval base at Guantanamo, Cuba. In the following dispatch Fox tells how the Navy is prepared to defend against any attempt by Cuban Premier Fidel Castro to seize the base. By JACK V. FOX United Press International GUANTANAMO NAVAL BASE, Cuba < DPI l—The U.S. Navy has put plainly marked mine fields around Guantanamo base as a defense precaution against any possible attack by the revolution-I ary government of Cuban Premier Fidel Castro. The Navy disclosed that land mines have been planted along the 24-mile perimeter dividing the key naval base from Cuban territory. The mines are all inside a steel mesh and barbed wire fence and there are warning signs in Spanish and English. The action was taken by the Navy on the possibility that Castro would do the unthinkable and order an attack on Guantanartao. Although Navy officials believe such a move is highly improbable, they are equally determined to repel it if it comes. Action Not Aggressive Rear Adm. Allen M. Smith, commandant of the 10th Naval District, which includes Guantanamo. and Capt. C. W.. Schoenweiss, commanding officer of the base here, went to great lengths to emphasize that the precautions are not aggressive. Both pointed out the Navy is going ahead with plans to bring

families of servicemen here on the assumption that Cuba will honor its treaty obligations. They admitted, however, they cannot. Y-ead what is in Castro’s mind and they will not rule out an assault. They feel that Castro is more likely c,to conduct a campaign of harassment, with some sabotage possibly thrown in. Everyone at Guantanamo is edgy because ■there are 4,000 Cubans on the base every day. All but 800 of them go home at night. Cautions Against Alarm “We don’t want to get the people alarmed actually,” Smith said. “I don’t think the situation is much different than it was six months ago, but Castro has been stepping up the tempo and we have been steeping up our defense preparations. As a result, I wouldn’t say the situation is dangerous. That is a relative term. It is tense and we are just waiting to see.” Naval and civilian personnel and Cuban workers are going about their jobs calmly and cheerfully. There are about 2,400 dependents of servicemen here, in addition to 630 other U.S- citizens and their dependents. The Navy wives’ softball team is practicing for their next game against the Marines’ wives. Twenty babies are being born every month to American mothers. There are menacing omens, too — helicopters patrolling. Marines posted on hills observing all roads leading to the area, frisking of Cuban employes as they enter and leave Guantanamo.

GOP Seeking Cities Lost By Ike In 1956 WASHINGTON (UPI) _ President Eisenhower is carrying his Uth hour campaign for Vice President Richard M. Nixon into four big cities which he failed to carry himself in his massive landslide victory in 1956. A Nixon victory in these four cities would insure an even greater Republican landslide on a national scale in the presidential election next Tuesday. The cities are Philadelphia, New York, Cleveland and Pittsburgh. Eisenhower spoke in Philadelphia last Friday, is appearing SNew York today and will go Cleveland and Pittsburgh Friday. The realistic GOP goal in enlisting the President for appearances in the four cities is not to win Nixon majorities but to cut deeply into the majority Sen. John F. Kennedy is expected to poll there. Seek Statewide Victories By holding down the Kennedy majority in these Democratic strongholds, Republicans hope their normal share of the vote in normally Republican areas of New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio will insure statewide victories for Nixon. These three states cast 102 of the 269 electoral votes needed to win the election. 1 In 1956 Eisenhower polled only 43 per cent of the Philadelphia vote and lost the city to Adlai E. Stevenson, hi? Democratic rival, by almost 125.000. In Pittsburgh he polled 47.6 per cent of the 1956 vote in losing the city by more . than 12,000. Although he failed to carry either of Pennsylvania's two largest cities, he won the state by more than 600,000 votes. Wins Other. States The President easily carried New York state four years ago, even though he received only 49 per cent of the New York City vote. In Cleveland, will be in a oity where he polled 45.4 per cent of the 1956 vote. He won the state by more than 800,0001 votes. The White House announced Tuesday that the President would fly to Cleveland Friday morning and drive through the city to address a rally ip the public square near the Sheraton-Cleveland Hotel shortly after noon. After the rally, he may make appearances at some lunches or teas before flying to Pittsburgh where he will make a late afternoon appearance. Details of the Pittsburgh visit were noit announced.

Defense Dept. Plans Doubling Expenditures WASHINGTON (UPl)—The Defense Department will more than double its expenditures on weapons for chemical and biological warfare over the next several years, Army sources reported today. The stepped-up, program will involve bath lethal and non-lethal weapons which can be delivered by a variety of means ranging from grenades to fast-flying aircraft. In the non-lethal category are I chemical weapons that could tem- ’ porarily immobilize enemy troops or populations in enemy cities without permanent damage. They could be used to break up riots and attacks and to screen the advance of U.S. and Allied troops. They are many times more effective than such riot control materials as tear gas. Army sources said they expected the budget going to Congress in January to boost research and development outlays for chemical and biological warfare to $76 million compared with S7O million this year. They said the annual spending rate should reach S2OO million in another seven yqars. These sources also reported tjiat another effort to get the NikaZeus anti-missile missile into production is likely to be made during the next month. A committee of Army, defense and White House advisers is taking a new look at progress made ip developing the equipment, which the Army believes can provide sufficient defense against intercontinental ballistic missiles. Decatur Eagles Plan Open House Saturday A The Decatur Eagles lodge will open its fall and winter entertainment with an open house Saturday night from 9 to 12 o’clock. Music for round and square dancing will be played by the Dixie Drifters, and the public is invited to attend.

Serves As Depot For Mental Health Gifts The Uhrick Bros. ’ Furniture store here has agreed to serve as a depot for Christmas gifts collected for patients In state mental hospitals. Mrs. Mary Howard, who is in charge locally of the Christmas gifts collection, announced that all individuals and organizations interested in purchasing and wrapping gifts for patients may pick up at this depot a tag for the gift and a list of suggestions of what to buy. Tags are also available at the Sutton jewelry store. December J has been set as the deadline for collection of gifts. As soon as the gifts accumulate they will be delivered to Richmond state hospital for distribution to patients in mid-December. A quota of 375 men's gifts and 400 women’s gifts as well as 75 optional gifts has been set for this area T>y the Indiana association for mental health. Officers of the state voluntary health organization announced that last year there was a shortage of men’s gifts. Last year most female patients received at least three gifts, and men patients received one to two gifts each. The annual Christmas gifts collection program of Adams county chapter of the Indiana association for mental health is one of many programs that county chapters undertake to further the mental health program in Indiana.

Ike Reassures Americans On Base In Cuba WASHINGTON (UPI) — President Eisenhower’s stern declaration that <the United States will hold its Guantanamo naval base at all costs was described today as primarily a move to reassure the American people. High officials said the President’s statement largely was aimed at clearing up any election eve confusion in .this country about the U.S. position on the S7O million base in Cuba. While Adm. Arleigh Burke, chief of naval operations, already has stated the United States would fight for Guantanamo, officials felt a statement from the highest U.S. authority would eliminate any doubt whatsoever. U.S. officials said the Eisenhower declaration should serve as a new warning to Cuban Premier Fidel Castro not to tamper with the base, but they believed Castro already was fully aware that it would be defended. Secretary of State Christian H. Herter and other top presidential aides are convinced that Castro does not intend to try to wrest the base from the United States. The President declared Tuesday the huge U.S. base poses “no threat whatever to the sovereignty of Cuba, to the peace and security of its people, or to the independence of any of the American countries.” “Because of its importance to the defense of the entire hemisphere, particularly in the light of the intimate relations which now exist between the present government of Cuba and the SinoSoviet bloc, it is essential that our position in Guantanamo be clearly understood,” he said. ! Eisenhower said this country does not wish to withdraw its , forces from Guantanamo, and its irights “are based on international ! agreements with Cuba and include the exercise by the United States of complete jurisdiction and control over the area.” “Our government has no intention of agreeing to the modification or abrogation of these agreements and will take whatever steps may be appropriate to defend the base," he declared. < Election Expenses By Parties Heavy WASHINGTON (UPI) —The Democratic and Republican national committees have spent more than $2.5 million each so far this year to push their candidates. The Democratic committee reported it was in the red. The GOP National Committee reported to the House clerk Tuesday that it collected $2,725,580 and spent $2,384,734 from Jan. 1 to Oct. 27. The Democratic National Committee reported contributions totaling $2,652,489 and expenditures of $2,663,668 up to Oct. 24.

State Candidates Busy Campaigning

' By United Press International 1 Lt. Gov. Crawford Parker and • seven other prominent Hoosier '■ Republicans stormed Indiana • Tuesday night attacking the “outl side influences” behind former ■ State Sen. Matt Welsh’s drive for r governor. t Parker, the Republican nominee f for governor, and the seven other j members of the “truth squad” i told party rallies in eight Hoosier cities that Welsh will have to be- ; stow political favors on the men ’ who are the "outside influences.” » Welsh was also busy campaign- ' ing, delivering speeches at Elkhart and Goshen. He attacked the Republican state administration i with charges of “wasteful” gov- . ernment, and he proposed a bipartisan four-member group to 3 head the state highway cornmisJ sion if he is elected. : The seven other Republicans in- ■ eluded Governor Handley who r spoke at Anderson; Sen. Homer 5 Capehart, South Bend; Reps. • Charles HaUeck, Monticello, Wil- , liam Bray, Sullivan and E. Ross ) Adair, Fort Wayne; State Sen. Russell Bontrager, Warsaw, and - former Gov. Ralph Gates, Terre / Haute. i 'Parker, at Marion, and his cos horts charged that the “outside s influences” included Indianapolis 1 banker Frank E. McKinney, former Democratic national chairman; Frank McHale, former Democratic national committeeman from Indiana; Walter Reuther, president of the United Auto Workers; Mayor Walter Jeorse of East Chicago; Mayor George Charcharis of Gary; Sheriff Peter Mandich of Lake County, and Mayor Edward Dowling of Hammond. 'Big City Choate* “These are the big city ghosts and they are the kind that the people of Indiana have every right to foe scared of because they have money and power and they are ’ ambitious to extend their areas of { influence with the political favor- ' itism that Welsh will have to be- ' stow on them if he is elected gov- ’ ernor,” the eight Republicans charged in identical speeches. Welsh said "waste” in state ’ government can be cut and delib- ) erate “waste” can be eliminated ’ entirely. “It is obvious that the HandleyParker administration’s handpick- ; ed successor for office cannot do ' it. or it would have been done,” ’ Welsh charged. * , Welsh proposed elimination of - overlapping and duplicated functions and consolidated departments, letting of contracts to the lowest bidder and insure a full “ day’s work from every state em- ’ ploye. “These things can be done and ’ under my administration they will be done,” Welsh asserted. “With the increasing demands on gov- : ernmental services, it is essential .that we get for each tax dollar ’ the maximum benefit for the peor ’ Guest Missioners In Lutheran Churches > , t Guest missioners have been asi signed to each of the nine Luth- ; eran congregations participating . in the Decatur P. T. R. mission t Sunday through Thursday, No- ■ vember 13 to 17. These guest missioners have been especially r trained to conduct the informal > evening services which will be > held at each church. 1 Dr. R. C. Ressmeyer of Long k /sland, New York, will serve Zion ■“Lutheran church in Decatur. Dr. Ressmeyer is a veteran of over 30 similar mission programs in ’ all parts of the country and the ’ author of several books. The . Rev. Paul E. Kolch, of Louisville, . Ky., the area evangelism director for the Lutheran church, Missouri synod, has been assigned to St. Paul’s at Preble. The Rev. Ernes: T. Schmidtke, of Sheboygan, Wis., and former pastor at Zion, Friedheim, will be at St. Peter’s , Lutheran church.

pie of the state.” At Goshen earlier, Welsh - pledged he will recommend that . the Indiana State Highway Com- . mission to be made a four-mem- ■ ber bipartisan body. It currently ■ is composed of two members of the party in power and one of > the minority party. Parker also made an earlier ’ speech, this one at Gas City, in ■ which he criticized a Democratic . proposal that the magazine, “Outi door Indiana”, be distributed free. ’ Parker said the taxpayer would ■ end up paying the bill. Hartke At Indianapolis Indiana Sen. Vance Hartke told i a party rally at Indianapolis that ■ the state would be in the Demo- ■ cratic column this year in both > -the state and national elections. “I know that Indiana will be part of this landslide victory that ■ is building up for the Kennedy- • Johnson ticket and the Demo- • cratic program of exploring the New Frontiers of the 1960’5,” • Hartke said. Hartke was winding ; up a 15-state campaign tour for the national party ticket. I He said it was apparent each s day that “Jack Kennedy is going to be elected.” Heaping more • praise on Kennedy, Hartke said : Kennedy “will lead us to new > heights of achievement, to new ■ prosperity and to new cooperation ■ for the good of the people.” Richard Ristine, the Republican • nominee for lieutenant governor, • predicted at Kokomo that the naI tional and state tickets of the ■ GOP would be victorious in Indi- • ana. ‘Several Opinion Polls’ Ristine cited to “several opinion t polls” which “indicated a Republican victory In Indiana.” “Polls can be wrong,” he said, • “but there does seem to be an • indication of confidence in the ■ kind of sound, economical govern- ■ meat Republicans have provided ■ in Indiana, and in -the Nixon free- ' enterprise program.” Ristine’s rival for lieutenant ■ governor, Earl M. Utterback, • campaigned at Bluffton and at--1 tacked Parker and Handley for “false statements” about Indi- ■ ana’s industrial situation. He said ■ there are actually "100,000 fewer 1 industrial jobs in Indiana today than when the Republicans took office eight years ago.” He said his party will “deliver 1 action, not promises.” Welsh spoke today noon at , Angola, challenging Parker to cite any Indiana law enforcement breakdown where state police are needed. “If he can cite a single instance, and I know of none, I then challenge him to explain why the Handley-Parker adminis--1 tration has not acted,” Welsh said. At Anderson for a breakfast meeting, Hartke likened America to a motor car which he said is now "halted at the side of the road with a flat tire” and needs a new driver—Kennedy—to “fix the flat and roll on.” And at Indianapolis, McHale, one of the targets of the GOP “blockbuster” speeches, issued a statement saying it was “amusing” to Republicans talk about Democratic “ghosts.” "I dare anyone to open the Republican closets and see what ■ comes tumbling out. If they do there will be the ghosts of many ; of their friends who helped put i them into office, namely, Gov. . Warren T. McCray, who went to the penitentiary: Gov. Ed Jackson. who escaped by the skin of his teeth; D.C. Stephenson of Ku [Klux Klan fame, and of more recent vintage, Doc Sherwood, Bill Sayre and Virgil ’Red’ Smith, who are under prison sentences,” McHale said.
