Cuban Invasion Scored
Head of U.S. Communists Urges protests to Kennedy
Gus Hall, general secretary
of the Communist party in the United States, issued a statement yesterday
calling the invasion of Cuba "an act of perfidy," "open export of counter-revolution"
and an "act of imperialist aggression."
The invaders, Mr. Hall said
"were unleashed against Cuba by a deliberate decision of the United States
Government." The Cuban Revolutionary Council heading the invasion, he charged,
was "handpicked by the State Department as the future government to be
recognized by the United States when established on Cuban soil."
Mr. Hall called on supporters
of his position to send telegrams, resolutions and letters to President
Kennedy demanding that he break relations with the council, repudiate the
invasions and stop activities from American and Latin American bases.
