CORE To Abandon SETTLEMENT DELAYED:

NEW YORK (P) - As weaken-

foretell the coming of winter to
the littered streets of Bedford-
Stuyvesant, angry members of
the Congress of Racial Equality
are preparing to abandon Brook-
lyn.
Disguted by a year of bitter,
debilitating, sometimes violent
fights with the city administra-
tion, the police, the antipovertyj
program, school teachers and
moderate Negro leaders, the ac-I
tivists have decided to head forj
a rural retreat, and a simpler
life.
"We will buy our land, settle,
there and till the soil," said Ro-
bert Carson, 32, director of Brook-
lyn CORE. "We want to clean
federal and state, should all get
together and get behind this.
We'll begin with cooperatives.
It's farmland. Not very good land,
I understand, but we are creative
people, we will be able to do
something with what we get. We
just want something to call our
own.''

AP News Analysis
Even before Bolivia announced
the death of Ernesto Che Guevara,
the Castroist movement in Latin
America was gasping for breath.
Convincing proof that Che is gone
f can be a blow from which the ex-
port brand of Castroism may never
recover.
If Castroism had a symbol in
Latin America, it was not Fidel
Castro himself, but Che Guevara.
Che was one of a disappearing
breed, the professional revolution-
ary, apostle of guerrilla war and
incessant violence, prototype of
the romantic underground con-
spirator whose appeal primarily
was to the young.
There are not many aspiring
Ches left in Latin America.
Pictures of the body of the fallen
Che are convincing evidence,,and
it will be difficult for the revolu-
tionaries to dispute them. For the
guerrillas in Bolivia as elsewhere,
the symbol of their revolutionary
hopes has been snatched away.
The movement, without its knight
in armor, easily loses its luster.
Castroism already was becoming
a negligible force outside Cuba.
Indeed, Che himself personified its
weaknesses. He was the standard-
bearer for what Fidel Castro had
represented years ago, but certain-
ly not for what Castro became.
There is reason to believe, in fact,
that Che had broken with his one-
time "maximum leader."
If the final chapter of the Gue-
vara saga means the decline of
the guerrilla movement, Fidel Cas-
tro can lay much of the blame
upon himself. His failures brought
Castroism into disrepute and the
Communist movemest to confu-
sion.
Castro began the process soon
after he reached power by turning
on heroes of his own revolution:
Huber Matos, Camilo Cienfuegos,
Anibal Escalante and many an-
other. At the same time, the econ-
omic confusion reigning in Cuba
dulled much of the glitter of Cas-
tro as a champion of the people.
He soon mortgaged himself to
Moscow and owed his very ex-
istence to the Soviet Communists.
Meanwhile, the Soviet Union
was finding it more profitable to
rely on traditional means of in-
fluence and infiltration in Latin
Amei'ica and was cautiously shying
away from overt connection with
guerrilla and terrorist violence.
Castroism lost important support.
Castro himself frequently gave
vent to his bitterness on this score.
But probably a more serious blow
I
to Castro's hopes was his own fall-
ing out with the Che Guevara.
That came in the spring of 1965,
after Guevara had made a trip to
Red China and Africa.
Guevara palpably had been un-
happy about Soviet interference in
the Latin-American revolutionary
movement in the wake of 1962
Cuban missile crisis showdown
with the United States.
In 1963, he wrote an article in-
sisting it would be an "unpardon-
able error" to neglect armed
struggle. Probably Castro felt the
same way, but he relied wholly on
Moscow. Summoned there in 1964,
Castro got the full treatment and
later appeared to compromise with
the cautious view. Guevara took
off for Peking and then Africa.
He returned to Havana in March
1965. All the evidence indicates he
had a violent row with Castro,
then. Che disappeared, and Castro'
said- he was on a revolutionary
mission elsewhere.

Brooklyn CORE has put a down'

Carson said, and hopes to settle
on it by spring. He won't say
where it is, other than it's "out-
side the north." It's "where our
people are," and it's "close to
Africa." All that makes the South
the most likely location.
Suharto announced that he had
rearranged the structure of the
military to put it under his direct
command. He retained the port-
folio of defense minister.
He added that changes in the
Cabinet were necessary because
the Parliament elections scheduled
for 1968 could not be held on time,
but did not elaborate. Informants
said it was unlikely elections could
be held for at least two years.
