Use Cuba

Candidates
for Issue

Castro Seizes U.S. Propertie s

HAVANA (-) - Prime Minister
Fidel Castro took another quar-
ter-billion dollar bite yesterdayp
from the remaining AmericanI
properties in Cuba.
He said he was retaliating
against the United States embar-
go on most exports to this island
nation.
A decree issued at dawn after
a meeting of Castro's cabinet an-
nounced the seizure of 167 Amer-!
ican firms. With this seizure, Cas-
tro was almost down to the "nails
in their shoes." He had promised
to take from American investors
here on the ground the United
States was committing aggression
against Cuba.
The preamble spelled out the
decree's retaliatory nature, as-
serting that Washington's ban on
shipping everything but food and
medical supplies to Cuba is de-
signed to "strangle our economy."
The Cabinet challenged the
United States government itself

by seizing the Nicaro nickel plant,
owned by the United States Gen-
eral S e r v i c e s Administration.
Washington had decided to shut
down the plant, located in east-
ern Cuba, after the Cuban gov-
ernment refused to make what
United States officials considered
a realistic offer to buy it. Its list-
ed value is $110 million.
Denounces Seizures
(In Washington,. a State De-
partment spokesman denounced
the seizures as a move "in full
accord with international Com-
munist dogma." He said it repre-
sents another step by Castro's
government to exploit the Cuban
people for foreign political pur-
poses. The spokesman did not
mention the Nicaro nickel plant.)
The seizures ranged from 30
American insurance companies-
some of them with assets up to
$20 million-to the Capri Ho-
tel's gambling casino and the Ha-

Estimate Value
American economists here es-
timated the total value of the
seized properties at about $250
million. They said that properties
worth more than, $100 million are
still left in United States hands,
although the bulk of them are al-
ready being run by Cuban offi-
cials under the government's in-
tervention procedure.
With the seizures, Castro now
has taken over lands and proper-
ties estimated by the United
States Embassy at a value of
about $1.5 billion.
Among the larger firms seized
were Cuban outlets of Wool-
worth's, Sears Roebuck, Coca-
Cola, Westinghouse, General1
Electric, Reynolds Aluminum,
Schering Pharmaceutical, Abbot
Laboratories, Burrus Mills, Beth-
lehem Steel, Kodak, Railway Ex-
press, Simmons Beds, Continental

Seize Small Firms
The seizures also reached small-
er firms in construction, textiles,
cosmetics, 'paper, minerals, oil,
auto machinery, poultry, tobacco,
rice milling, electric light bulbs,
railroading, clothing, electricity
and dry cleaning.
United States Embassy sources
estimate there still are 213-firms
in Cuba with American ownership
or interest which have not been
confiscated although many of
them have been intervened by the

UNITED NATIONS () - The
United Nations Steering Commit-
tee yesterday agreed quickly to a
full UN4 airing of Cuban com-
plaints that the United States is
preparing an invasion of Cuba.
The decision was taken without
opposition after Cuban Foreign
Minister Raul Roa accused Sen.
John F. Kennedy and Vice-Presi-
dent Richard M. Nixon of making
Cuba a scapegoat in the United
States presidential campaign. He
called for urgent UN action.
The United States denied his
charges, but said it would not
oppose UN debate.
The Cuban leader made his
charge before the General As-
sembly's 21-nation steering com-
mittee as he appealed for a full
UN airing of alleged plans for a
large-scale invasion of his country
from United States bases.
Roa said the situation was so
urgent it should be considered at
once by the UN assembly.
The UN action came after
several recent clashes between the
United States and Cuba. Last week
the United States placed an eco-
nomic embargo on all exports to
Cuba except for medical goods
and foodstuffs.-
On Saturday U.S. Ambassador
to Cuba Philip Bonsal notified
the Cuban foreign office he had
reports that several Cuban trahs-
port planes at the San Antonio de
los Banos airbase near Havana
had been painted with American
isignia and flags for unexplained
reasons. Castro has recently
charged that the United States
is making plans for an invasion
of Cuba.
'Cuban -Seizure
Brings Protest
In Washing ton
WASHINGTON (A)-The United
States yesterday denounced Cuba's
seizure of 167 more American
properties as another step by
Prime Minister Fidel Castro "to
exploit the Cuban people for
foreign political purposes."
The move, the department said,
is "in full accord with internation-
al Communist dogma" and a
policy of state ownership and con-
trol of all means of production and
distribution of goods.
The sharp United States reac-
tion came a few hours after Castro
issued a decree seizing most of
the $250 million in American pro-
perty left in Cuba. Other big
American holdings already have
been taken over by the Cuban
government.
It was obvious from the wording
of Castro's degree that his action
was in retaliation for the United
States ban on shipments of every-
thing but food and medical sup-
plies to Cuba. The preamble to
the decree called the ban an ef-
fort to "strangle our economy."
The State Department noted
that Cuba's policy of taking over
private industry was forecast by
Cuba's left-wing economic czar,;
Ernesto "Che" Guevara, before he
left for a trip behind the Ironi
Curtain a few months ago.
Guevara, the Department said,
sought to warn the Cuban people
"of the economic hardship and,
dislocations which will result from:
Cuban establishment of the statist1
economic system demanded by
international Communism." I
