(N.Z. Press Association —Copyright
(Rec. 10 p.m.) HAVANA, December 12.
A plot to assassinate the Prime Minister (Dr. Fidel Castro) has been uncovered and 15 Navy men arrested, reports from Santiago de Cuba said today. The reports came as a military Court sat in the trial of the revolutionary hero, Major Hubert Maths, and 39 other officers on charges of treason for protesting against alleged Communist infiltration in the Castro regime. Dispatches from Santiago said 15 Navy men attached to the Punta Blanca naval district in eastern Cuba have been charged with plotting to kill Dr. Castro during his visit to the capital of Oriente Province on November 30. Details of the alleged plot and its discovery were not disclosed.
