Issues Statement
WASHINGTON (')-The United
States indignantly rejected yes-
terday charges against this coun-,
try by Cuban Premier Fidel Cas-
tro. also denounced what it called
"deliberate efforts" to replace
United States-Quban friendship
with hostility.
Ambassador Philip W. Bonsal
told President Osvaldo Dorticos in
Havana that the United States,
views with "shock and amaze-
ment Castro's claims that it per-
mitted planes based in the United
States to bomb Havana.
Notes Castro's Charges
Noting Castro's charges that the
United States government, its offi-
cials or the American people had
supported or countenanced ille-
gal activities against the Castro
regime, a sttaement by the State
Department declared:
"Not only are such charges ut-
terly unfounded but they can only
contaminate that atmosphere of
good faith which should prevail
in the relations of neighboring
states."
The lengthy statement avoided
mentioning Castro by name but
dealt at length with thecom-
plaints he has publicly made
against the United States in angry
speeches in Cuba.
Parallels Memorandum
The statement paralleled a
memorandum which Bonsai gave
to florticos and Minister of State
Raul Roa in the course of his talk
with them.
It was in the sternest language
yet used by official Washington in
a formal declaration dealing with
the anti-United States campaign
which Castro' has been developing.
The department's statement re-
fleeted deep worry on the part of
officials here about what the re-
sult of the Castro drive will be if
it is not brought to a halt. State
n-Department press officer Lincoln
White said in reply to questions
that one effect of the statement
was to ask the Cuban government
* to review its policies.
The United States pledged'itself
to "continue to observe a policy of
non1-intervention in Cuban af-
fairs."
At _several points in the state-
ment, the United States reminded
Cuba that it had sought specific
evidence from Cuban authorities
to back up Castro accusations, but
such evidence had not been pro-
vided.

At present the air defenses, ac-

contributing countries, represents
a model of cooperation which po-
litical leaders have not been able
to match.
But, although it is a model of
unified effort, the air defense may
not now be able to deliver a solid
offensive punch.
"With the type of plane we
have now, Greece could combat an
offensive launched possibly from
the Balkans," Major George Pneu-
matikos from Greece noted.

"The rate to keep us up with
new developments hasn't been fast
enough," he pointedly added.

and NATO nations there is a cer-
tain hesitancy based upon what
could be American desires to
maintain secure holds on their se-
crets.
Even French fears of a strong
German air force are being allayed
as they recognize the need for a
unified defense effort. A nation
once defeated by the military
power of Hitler's Germany is
ready to accept the re-activated
Luftwaffe as an important pro-
tective link.
"Part of the trouble is certainly
political," noted Lt. Col. Paul
Verspoor, as he reviewed the re-
cent French anger over U. S. un-
willingness to share "Classified"
military information.
Another pertinent consideration
is that most of the NATO coun-
tries aren't in an economic posi-
tion which would allow them to
buy the equipment that the Air
Force uses. Radar nets have been
erected over much of Europe but
only the Dutch have a system
comparable to the one which en-
circles the U.S. and Canada.
