CONVICTS The B Orange County Plain Dealer 24 Pages in 2 Sections Vol. XXXVI No. 221 Anaheim, Ca Castro to Answer Commie Charges By JOSEPH U. HINSHAW United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) — Cuban Prime Minister Fidel Castro goes before the U.S. newspaper editors today to answer charges that Communists have infiltrated his government. The bearded 32-year-old Castro also is expected to spell out in his lunch speech to the American Society of Newspaper Editors (ASNE) why he believes the U.S. press has not given a true picture of his revolutionary regime. CONSPICUOUS LOOT TAKEN BY THIEF United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) — Cuban Prime Minister Fidel Castro goes before the U.S. newspaper editors today to answer charges that Communists have infiltrated his government. The bearded 32-year-old Castro also is expected to spell out in his lunch speech to the American Society of Newspaper Editors (ASNE) why he believes the U.S. press has not given a true picture of his revolutionary regime. Castro probably will be asked during a question and answer session after his speech to justify his mass executions of followers of former dictator Fulgencio Batista. Castro's forces toppled Batista's government on New Year's Day. The prime minister, here for an 11-day good will visit, promised to speak for 30 minutes. But he has been known to speak for three or four hours on other occasions. As usual there was no prepared text for Castro's remarks. Castro, wearing his famous jungle green, open-collared fatigue uniform, was expected to speak in English and answer questions in Spanish. A controversy over broadcast coverage of the appearance was settled when the society agreed to let radio and television services record Castro's speech on tape and film for later airing. Castro chatted with newsmen after having lunch Thursday with Acting Secretary of State Christian A. Herter. Without directly criticizing the American press, he complained that people in this country have not been informed "of the complete truth of what is going on in Cuba." He said, "I hope I will now be able to reach the U. S. people and explain what we stand for."

The information meeting was called by the highway officials to talk about plans for the widening of the Santa Ana Freeway from South St., in Anaheim to the Santa Ana River, and the development of Brea Canyon Road in Los Angeles County from the Orange County line to 5th St. In Orange County, the Brea Canyon route became known as the Orange Freeway, which in addition to linking Brea, Placentia, and other cities to the Santa Ana Freeway, will carry traffic to and from the Pomona Freeway. Both projects were described as being five or more years away, depending on the availability of funds by the highway officials. They presented talks on the two projects and displayed maps showing the proposed routes. The meeting itself was described as requirement if the two projects are to qualify for federal funds under the Federal Act of 1936. Specifically, the Santa Ana Freeway project calls for the widening of 3.64 miles from four to six-lane standards. This project was described as being further along than the other and was reportedly about five years off.

Term Nixon’s July Trip to Soviet Well-Timed Diplomatic Maneuver By WILLIAM THEIS United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) — Vice President Richard M. Nixon’s announced July trip to Moscow was viewed in Washington today as both a personal political bonus and a well-timed diplomatic maneuver. Informed sources said Nixon probably will be accompanied by his wife, Pat, when he flies to Moscow for the July 25 opening of the American National Exhibition. Three aspects of President Eisenhower’s announcement that the vice president will go to Russia were underscored in official quarters: The assignment thrusts Nixon.

Rockefeller of New York. —Timing of the announcement served to counteract any jetdown abroad from the resignation of Secretary of State John Foster Dulles. —Like Soviet Deputy Premier Anastas Mikoyan’s visit to the United States in January, Nixon’s Moscow trip will enable the vice president to weigh the real intentions of Russian leaders in negotiating at a summit conference. During the recent Eisenhower-Macmillan talks in Washington, there was reported discussion that Nixon might be called upon to sit in for the President should constitutional duties or illness require him to leave a summit conference. Nixon, it was reported, also could be used at a later high-level conference — should one be held—to implement summit decisions. No other vice president in the country’s history has had as much in-job training for the presidency as Nixon. Eisenhower said Nixon will remain in Moscow for three or four days. There is no intention now to have him visit other major European capitals. WEATHER Considerable cloudiness today through Saturday but some afternoon sunshine.

POST SEEMS ASSURED Herter Has Heard WASHINGTON (UPI) — Acting Secretary of State Christian A. Herter, his health newly approved by doctors, rested today at a South Carolina plantation, apparently assured of the nomination to succeed John Foster Dulles. High administration officials said they considered it certain that President Eisenhower would name the 64-year-old Massachusetts politician-diplomat to the post. A physical checkup Wednesday showed no condition which would interfere with his carrying out the duties. Herter, accompanied by his wife, slipped away from Washington on Thursday night for a week rest at her family’s plaza home at Green Pond, S.C. This is only about 100 from Augusta, Ga., where Herter is vacationing. But dential Press Secretary Jan Hagerty declined to discuss possibility of an Eisenhower meeting this week end.

(UPI) — Rebellious convicts at Montana State Prison today freed one of 18 hostages who promptly walked back inside the prison to save the others who were threatened with death by hanging or homemade incendiary bombs. Couple Report Seeing Suspect Take 'Fix' A 26-year-old Anaheim man is in Orange County Jail today on charges of possession of narcotics. Charles Winship of 12802 Midway Dr., was arrested by Anaheim offenders after two witnesses reported they had allegedly seen him take a "fix" in his parked auto. Mr. and Mrs. James Farrington, both 28, of 1507 W. Cerritos Ave., called police yesterday afternoon after they reportedly watched Winship from a front room in their home. Police reports show that the Farringtons said they watched with binoculars as Winship tied a rubber tube around his arm and used a hypodermic needle to inject something into his arm. Mrs. Farrington said she then saw Winship throw something out of the window of his car into the nearby orange grove. Officers checked the grove and found a hypodermic syringe and a brown bottle. The evidence was turned over to the Sheriff's crime lab to determine the contents of the two items. Winship was arrested last evening by officers from a description of his auto and a personal description from the Farringtons. "It's tight. It's tighter than hell for them," prison sociologist Walter Jones, 24, said. "I'm going back in and try to get them out." He pleaded with officers in charge of 200 national guardsmen and other law enforcement men not to storm the walls in efforts to smash the riot which broke out late Thursday with the slaying of Deputy Warden Ted Rothe, 40. "They're shook. The inmates there are in control and they're shook." He said that even as he spoke "the specter of death hung over 17 hostages still in the cell block." Ready For Executions "五 are set up to be hanged," he said. "The rest are set up for home made incendiary bombs." Several hours before Jones was freed, the prison Catholic chaplain, Father Gerald Lynam, emerged from a meeting with the convicts with an optimistic report. He said "everything looked good. I think we made some progress." Mr. and Mrs. James Farrington, both 28, of 1507 W. Cerritos Ave., called police yesterday afternoon after they reportedly watched Winship from a front room in their home. Police reports show that the Farringtons said they watched with binoculars as Winship tied a rubber tube around his arm and used a hypodermic needle to inject something into his arm.

(UPI) — State police today held three suspects in the shooting of a mine guard killed in a gun battle with striking United Mine Workers members. The victim was James Ottis Adams, 41, Dongola, Ky., who drove a truck and acted as a guard at the Little Shepherd Mine Co., five miles north of here. His death was the second fatality in the weeks-long eastern Kentucky coal strike. Police arrested on charges of wilful murder Harrison Stidham, Verlin King and Democrat Hilliman, all of Marow, Ky., and members of the United Mine Workers Union. Police said the three men drove up a dirt road to the mine and blinked their car lights. An unidentified guard, thinking it was the usual signal by an incoming truck, put his head in the truck window. One of the men in the car hit him in the face, police. Adams then drove up in a truck and the strikers threatened him. Police said Stidham got out of the car and told Adams to get out of his truck. There was an exchange of gunfire, police said, and Adams fell over the edge of a ramp leading to the coal tipple. The Little Shepherd mine is one that has not signed a contract him in the face, police said. On March 31, a mine owner at Strinking Creek in Knox County was killed by pickets. HOSPITAL BAFFLED AS BOY WON'T EAT What appeared to be the beginning of a hunger strike turned out to be only a case of misinformation at Anaheim Memorial Hospital, last week. Six-year-old Peter McGraw, son of Mr. and Mrs. Philip McGraw, 408 Empire, Anaheim, was a patient suffering a possible skull fracture after he fell about six feet from a roof. He refused to eat his breakfast and even turned down a special plate of jello and ice cream the nurses offered him. When his dinner plate was taken to him, he still refused the food. "What's the matter?" the nurse asked him, "aren't you hungry?" "Yes," he replied, "I sure am very hungry, but my mommy and daddy didn't leave me any money for my meals." Deadline Reached For School Board Candidates Candidates for election to school boards within Orange County had until 5 p.m. this evening to file their declaration for seeking election with the County Superintendent of Schools. The election of new school board members is set for May 19 through the county for both elementary and high schools Board of Trustees. Britain 'Unhappy' Over U.S. Flights LONDON (UPI)—Britain was reported still "unhappy" today The Berlin Communist organ-Neues Deutschland today echoed Britain 'Unhappy' Over U.S. Flights LONDON (UPI)—Britain was reported still "unhappy" today about U.S. high-level flights to Berlin over Soviet opposition but anxious to avoid an open break with Washington. The United States insisted the flights would continue. Moscow Radio said U.S. defiance of Russian efforts to impose a 10,000-foot altitude limit on flights to Communist - encircled Berlin is merely a sample of America's "delliberate policy of provocations." The Berlin Communist organ-Neues Deutschland today echoed the Moscow line, describing the high-altitude flights as "American provocations in the air corridors" linking the former German capital with the West. It said Wednesday's Soviet-harassed U.S. flight at the "forbidden height" of 25,000 feet was a "provocative violation of safety regulations." The West Berlin newspaper Der Tag expressed concern over Britain's apparent unwillingness to stand up for Allied rights in Berlin. Der Tag said the dangerous methods Russia is using to block the exercise of legal rights, rather than U.S. steadfastness, creates the chief threat to the East-West negotiations that begin in Geneva May 11. "It is deeply disturbing that Britain does not realize this," the newspaper said. An English-language broadcast by Moscow Radio heard here Thursday night linked the U.S. refusal to accept a 10,000-foot ceiling on Berlin flights with America's defense of Communist-threatened areas in Asia and the Middle East. It blamed "U.S. brass hats" for the American refusal to give in to Russia's demands. The British press and radio also charged that America's high-altitude flights to Berlin were ordered by generals acting independently of the White House and the State Department.
