As Aggressor
UNITED NATIONS P - The
Soviet campaign seeking United
Nations condemnation of the
United States as an aggressor in
Cuba fell flat yesterday.
Support mounted instead for' a
proposal by Latin American na-
tions to let them take the leading
role in promoting a peaceful set-
tlement of the Cuban situation.,
Raul Roa, the Cuban foreign
minister, reported to the UN, po-
litical committee the downing of.
a United States military plane
after it had bombed Cuba and
said this was additional proof of
"flagrant" United States interven-
tion.
But despite Roads angry charges
and Soviet bloc denunciations of
the United States the committee
appeared headed for adoption of
a mildly worded Latin-American
resolution stressing that the Cub-
an crisis is strictly a Western
"Hemisphere affair.'
The resolution urges members
of the Organization of the Ameri-
can States to help bring about a
peaceful settlement.
Ambassador Mario Amadeo of
Argentina rejected Soviet bloc
charges as interference that could
only aggravate existing- tensions.
He expressed the hope common
sense would prevail and "no new
Danzig or Sarejevo will spark the
flames of a world conflagration."

NEWSMEN CRITICIZE:
Spokesman
Denies End
Of Invasion
First Troops Reach
Escambry Mountains
By The Associated Press
SAN JUAN-Anti-Castro forces
announced last night a new inva-
sion contingent has landed in
Cuba.
Earlier reports from Havana de-
picted Cuban Premier Fidel Cas-
tro as having claimed a 'near
victory.',
The announcement was by a
spokesman for the Cuban Demo-
cratic Revolutionary Front in
Puerto Rico and came in the face
of Communist and Castro partisan
claims that the anti-Castro re-
volt was about to collapse in de-
feat on the beaches.
The new landing was reported
as the Cuban revolutionary council
in New York announced that the
major portion of its original
spearhead of' several hundred men,
which set up a beachhead on the
south coast early Monday, had
reached the Escambray Mountains
after fighting off fierce attacks
by the forces of Prime Minister
Fidel Castro.
The council said this force -
which evidently abandoned its
beachhead on Cochinos Bay-had
to contend with "Communist ad-
visers" in the Castro force, as well
as Soviet-supplied, tanks, artillery
and planes.
Angrily denouncing earlier
claims by Havana radio and Yu-
goslav Communist newsmen that
the invasion was about to be liqui-
dated, the rebel spokesman in
Puerto Rico said the invasion was
going accordin~g to plan.
He said the invasion force di-
vided into two columns,' accord-
ing to prearrangement, and mov-
ed into the mountains and that
the invaders received strong sup-
port from the Cuban people.
The report on the new beach-
head came from Tomas Gamba,
secretary to War Minister Antonio
Verona in the anti-Castro Cuban
revolutionary council.
Cuba's government insisted last
night it would totally crush the
island's invasion-borne rebellion
within hours.
In Washington President John
F. Kennedy called for a full cab-
inet meeting for today-only the
third such meeting in his admin-
istration.
Force
Rebel Attacks
Menace Nation,
Government
By The Associated Press
VIENTIANE-The Laotian gov-
ernment yesterday called for more
foreign aid in fighting pro-Com-
munist rebels as major new offen-
sives threatened to conquer the
small nation and sweep into neigh-
boring countries.
Foreign Minister Tiao Sopsa-
sans received an immediate prom-
ise that United States military ad-
visers will go into the combat
zones. He disclosed that Laos is
also considering asking for for-
eign troops to stem the rebel at-
tacks.
See Weakening Position
United States embassy sources
said the government's position is
"steadily weakening" but deflated
claims of massive rebel assaults.
Washington's decision to send
United States advisers into com-
bat zones means about 300 civil-
ian-dressed American military
men who have been instructing
royal troops will put on uniforms
today' and become a full-fledged
military advisory group.
Support British Move
The State Department also an-
nounced that the United States
would send more war supplies to
the government forces fighting
pro-Communist rebels in the
Southeast Asian kingdom.
United States agreed that the
United States action would be
contrary to the 1954 Geneva agree-
ment. It forbids the establishment
of military advisory groups in
Laos. But, the officials said, the
United States did not sign the
agreement.
The Soviet Union, which did
sign the agreement, has flagrant-
ly violated it by delivering arms
and personnel to the rebels, they
charged.

The State and Defense Depart-

terse report filed with the society's
board of directors by Eugene S.
Pulliam of Indianapolis, chairman
of the ASNE Freedom of Informa-
tion Committee.
The ASNE wil open its annual
meeting here today. The Pulliam
report was received and discuss-
ed, in Pulliam's absence, at a
closed .pre-convention meeting of
the directors.
"President Kennedy, both be-
fore and after his election, was
on record in writing as believing
in freedom of information andin
his duty to see that the people
are informed," said Pulliam,. man-
aging editor of the Indianapolis
News.
"To date, neither he nor his
administration has lived up to
his promise."
Congress also came in for cri-
ticism in the report for the con-
tinued withholding of data on
House travel expenses, for closed
committee hearings, and for the
inclusion of what Pulliam called
a "secrecy clause" in the medical
aid amendment to the Social Se-
curity Act.
It was disclosed at the board
meeting that 11 Soviet newspaper
editors will visit the United States

ASNE will visit Russia later, prob-
ably in September.
