Jacqueline Kennedy Returns From Tour WASHINGTON (UPD — Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy returned Thursday night from India and I Pakistan and said she wished her husband could have made the trip with her. President Kennedy was waiting at the airport when the first lady arrived from New York. She seemed refreshed by a three-day stopover in London after her travels in the East: “It feels unnatural for me to go on such a long semi-official trip without my husband. I have missed my family and I have no desire to be a public personality of my own.’’ She said the people she met were kind to her “because I was the wife of the President, so the people were showing their affection for him and he should have been there to receive it.” Cuban Prisoners Os War Plead Guilty HAVANA (UPD—The 1,182 captured veterans of last year’s abortive Cuban invasion pleaded guilty at the start of their trial Thursday, it was reported today. All Havana morning newspapers said “the mercenaries admitted their- crime.” (The Havana Radio said in a broadcast heard in Miami that the prisoners were accused of having carried out a “treacherous attack” against the Cuban people at the “direct instigation of the imperialistic government of the United States.”

(In another broadcast heard this morning, the Havana Radio said the first session of the trial was taken up mostly with a recitation of the charges against the prisoners. (It said the captured men “confessed their crime and announced they wished to make no further statements.” (The broadcast said the first witness called to the stand was rebel Capt. Pedro Luis Rodriguez who was in charge of the prisoners after their capture at . the Pigs’ Bay landing point in Las Villas Province.)

Paar In Final Fling On Midnight Forum NEW YORK (UPD-Jack Paar wound up nearly five years of conversation and controversy Thursday night in a manner that must have delighted his ardent devotees. For his final fling on the midnight forum, the angry young man once again came out fighting. The nostalgia of the occasion— Atty. Gen. Robert Kennedy and Richard M. Nixon were among those tendering good wishes via film — took something of a back seat as the entertainer devoted much of the first half of the 105minute show to such old sparring mates as columnists Dorothy Kilgallen and Walter Winchell and to Newsweek magazine. Paar took especial exception to the article about him in the current issue of the magazine. He claimed some of the material was erroneous and charged that Newsweek “prints knowing untruths.. . knowing falsehoods.” This was in connection with Paar’s explanation of why he had said some kind things about Fidel Castro at a time when many Americans were beginning to shy away from the Cuban leader as the Communistic pattern of his revolt was becoming apparent. Paar said he hadn’t “consorted” with Communists on a visit to Cuba after the rebellion, as Miss Kilgallen allegedly wrote. That he had hoped, like others here, that the ousting of Fulgencio Batista would be good for Cuba and admitted a naivete in such matters at that time. Paar further explained that he Wks ted to accept Castro at first because of an interview secured in Havana by Jim Bishop, Hearst columnist, who accompanied Paar on a post-revolt visit. The filmed interview, shown briefly on the program, revealed Msgr Mueller, described as auxiliary bishop of Havana, as replying to Bishop’s questions to the effect that the new government “is not Communist; is very democratic” and that there was “very little” communism in Cuba. NBC’s five-a-week “Tonight” program continues with guest hosts until Johnny Carson takes it over Oct. 8.
