ESTABLISHED 1E192
400 PARK AVENUE
NEW YORK 22, N.Y.
May 2, 1961
"A thistle, touched gently, is pricky
Grasped firmly, is harmless."
- from an old English classic.
It is easy to say to an old friend "Well done thou good and
faithful servant P when the public is heaping encomiums upon him for an
outstanding achievement. But perhaps a friend appreciates more hearing
a word of encouragement when his stock with the public is at nadir.
Maybe this isn't your case but the press has not been good to you lately.
I need not tell you that I am one of your warmest admirers and
envy your long and brilliant record of unselfish public service. It is
not surprising to me that there have been failures as well as successes
in the record. The gist of this letter concerns Cuba.
You may or may not know that I have spent half my adult life in
Latin America and speak Spanish fluently. So perhaps I have a background
that warrants my expressing myself on Cuba.
Encouraged by hearing Matthews of the New York Times tell a meeting of the
Council on Foreign Relations in the spring of 1959 that Fidel Castro was
an idealist and his over-throw of Batista was most constructive and should
have the full backing of all Americans, I went to Cuba in March 1959 and
spent a month there. Among others, I had a letter of introduction to the
Garcia family. They are the decendents of General Garcia made famous by
the story: Message to Garcia. I spent many hours in Havana with various
members of this family and learned what was happening to the upper and
middle classes in Cuba. I also tiked freely with the "man in the Street"
and learned that Castro had about 99% popular support. I had some lengthy
talks with Phil Bonsal and other members of his staff at the Embassy. I
of course listened to several of Castro's long-winded television broad-
casts. The net result was that I came away disillusioned, but not con-
vinced at that time that Castro was in the communist camp. Later whenGuevara
was steadil,y moved up to No. 2 man in the Government, I no longer had any
doubts of the trend of things.
A year later Mulholland of the State Department talked about Cuba
,before the Council. In the question and answer period, I had a bit of a
debate with him. Mulhollandls talk was soporific: "We have our plans.
We will take care of Castro in due time." Afterward I had a private
talk with Mulholland. He asked: "What would you do, Luitweiler?" I

said: "I would stop completely America's buying of Cuban sugar". "But"
said Mulholland, "the American people would not stand for having their
supply of sugar cut off entirely." I answered rather facetiously: "Let
Americans use sucyr01 for a while. It might be cheaper in the end than
allowing Castro to continue along his present line." I think in fact
that at that time it would have been very effective and might have stopped
his build-up.
Things kept getting worse in Cuba. At a meeting of the Council
on the Congo, I had a little side talk with our mutual friend, Arthur Dean.
"Why all this concern over the Congo and complete inaction on Cuba?" I
asked him. "Luitweiler? whoever controls Africa will control the future
of the world. The Cubans themselves will take care of Castro; was the
substance of Dean's answer.
Recently I listened to Beltran, of Peru, before the Council. He
was eloquent and emphatic as to the Cubans taking care of Castro on their
own: "There are huge stores now of all sorts of modern Russian weapons
in Cuba' Beltran said, "and 10,000 trained Russians and other satellite
technicians in civilian clothes but ready at a moment's notice to take
charge. The Russians do not trust Castro enough to let him have complete
control of the armaments they have sent him. If there is a Cuban uprising
it will be another Hungary unless the United States gives 11 support." It
was only a month ago he made this prophecy.
Last night I listened to the news commentator, Howard K. Smith,
who also brushed aside the seriousness of the Cuban situation, saying in
effect: "Cuba, 90 miles off our shore, is in. Uncle Sam's maw. Any time we
choose, we can simply bite him off." That is what the American people
are being daily fed while the carbuncle of Castroism grows and the virus
spreads throughout Latin America, just as the Hitler virusdidtuatil it
required a major operation to get rid of them and the world was laid waste
in the process.
Now I imagine you have glanced through this much of my letter
rather hurriedly and no dou t it is not news to you. If so it is indeed
difficult for a layman to understand just what has happened in Cuba. I
mention all these things, however, as background for what I have to sug-
gest at this juncture. Something should be done and quickly: Not after
six months when enough time has elapsed to mount another try at invasion
by a fresh flame of Cubans. "Losing face" in Latin America is as serious
as it is in the Far East.
I am not advocating ignoring all our obligations to the United
Nations and the Organization of American States. But the United States
has certain obligations to its own citizens which I think are paramount:,
It has been rather well established that Americans have been arrested,
jailed and shot by Castro without a trial - in a spirit of sheer bravado.
Nothing makes us .lose: Pace in Latin America more than such incidents.
Castro has proven he can pull feathers out of the eagle's tail and get
a squawk, and nothing more. That should stop.
The suggestion: The very next incident that occurs - and it wont
be long before it does - that an American is arrested in Cuba and held in-
comunicado without a hearing and benefit of consultation with diplomatic

standing off Havana serve notice on Castro that we will blow him and his
National Palace to bits miless the American is released and delivered over
to us within the hour. If it does not happen, then carry out the threat
and withdraw. That isn'tvLs-t-_,bion?inter that is just plain protection of
American citizens abroad and it is high time such protection is given them.
You have no idea of the salutory effect this would have not only
upon the Cuban people themselves, but upon Latin Americans as a whole where
similar incidents are likely to happen with increasing frequency.
JCL/2113
Very cordially yours,
J Ct Luitweiler
P.S. While I was writing this I heard a radio report that the
Swiss Embassy in Havana, on our behalf, has invited all
the 1200 American citizens in Cuba to leave, stating
that Castro will allow it! Just another bit of weakness
on our part and not calculated to help our prestige
throughout Latin America. Americans in Cuba should be
allowed to remain in Cuba if they wish and thty should be
assured of oll.r_protection!

recommending that the attack
be allowed to take place.
Senator Morse declared after
the meeting that he was satis-
fied that the project had been
a "joint participation" by the
White House, the State Depart-
ment, the Defense Department
and the Central Intelligence
Agency.
Tomorrow afternoon the full
Senate Committee On Foreign
Relations will question Allen W.
Dulles, director of the C. I. A.,
on his agency's participation in
the Cuban attack and on other
aspects of his agency's world-
wide activities. Senate sources
indicated tonight that there
were no plans for a full-fledged
in.vestigation of the attack on
Cuba. .
Watchdog Unit Sought
The questioning of Mr. Dulles
on the C. I. A. role in organiz-
ing:the attack on Cuba is likely,
however, to add steam to the
developing pressure in Congress
Tor the establishment of a
WC1ZdQ committee t?\ oversee
?4Inir1 ' g of the- intern-
_
gence agency.
A ,resolution that would ,set
up such a committee was in-
trodOced recently by Senator
Eugene J. McCarthy, Democrat
of Minnesota, and hearings on
It are expected to begin soon.
In testifying today, Secretary
Rusk was reported to have told
the Senator's there was need to
reaSSess the mechanism ot rela-
tions between the State Depart-
ment and the C. I. A:
There have been private com-
Eints in the past by State De-
rtrnent officials that intel-
ence agents working through
united States Embassies abroad
Maintained little or no liaison
With the Ambassadors.
In the case of the attack on
Cuba, charges were made -that
C. I. A. agents in charge of the
rebel force ignored ' State De-
partment urgings for a purge
of elements associated with
Fulgencio Batista, the ousted
Cuban dictator, and that ,they
;lad played politics by favoring
dne exile group to the detri-
ment of others.
Senator Morse said after the
meeting that, according to Mr.
Rusk, the Administration had
tro plans to assist further rebel
attacks. "That," the Senator
remarked, "was quite a relief."
Senator Morse declared that
"Mr. Rusk made it clear that
rumors and statements that the
Cnited States , is planning, be-
rause df the bloody nose we
"offered, further military inter-
rention in Cuba has no basis in
act whatsoever."

President Arturo Frondizi began

term today comnuted to a posi-
tive pro-WeStern 'foreign policy
and to the acceleration of eco-

the way for $650,000,090 in new

The ? PreSident, who was
elected iettly the help of Peron-
ist and Communist votes, em-
phasized the Roman Catholic
and Western tradition of Argen-
tina. He reiterated Argentina's
support of President Kennedy's
Alliance for Progress.
In outlining an economic pro-
grain for the seeond half of his
term, he Called for stepped-up
industrialization, particularly in
steel, petrochemicals and elec-

chronically bad transport situa-
tion.

Francisco Molina, a supporter
of Premier Fidel Castro of
Cuba, was found guilty of sec-
ond-degree murder April 7 in
the slaying of a 9-year-old girl.
He is to be sentenced May 26.
A group calling itself. the
Committee to Defend Francisco
Molina, said Senor Triana "has
disclosed to Cuban authorities"
that he and four other anti-
Castro men went to El Prado
Restaurant here last September
with chains, knives and pistols,
intending to provoke a fight.
The committee also said he
had told Cuban authorities that
accusation yesterday, saying
Senor Triana had told his story
to investigators before his entry
into the case.
Mr. Herman said he did not
know where Senor Triana was
now. Two other witnesses, as
well as four anti-Castro men,
testified to having seen Molina
with a pistol, he said.
Anti-Castro quarters here said
Senor Triana was believed to
have been in an April 17 land-
ing force in Cuba and to be
missing.
The Molina defense group,
through its secretary, Mrs.
