Castro hits at U.S.
(N.Z.P. A.-Reuter—Copyright") HAVANA (Cuba), Sept. 29. The Cuban Prime Minister (Dr Fidel Castro) has cast a pall over the visit of two United States senators with an anti-American address reminiscent of the worst days of U.S.-Cuban enmity. In a major address last night, Dr Castro blasted C.I.A. involvement in Chile and said that the United States alone was responsible for the world economic crisis.
Hundreds of thousands of Cubans gathered in Revolution Plaza heard Dr Castro launch an attack on President Ford’s recent defence of Central Intelligence Agency funding of groups opposed to the late President Salvador Allende of Chile.
Dr Castro, who in speeches over recent years had toned down his criticism of the United States, made his remarks on the same weekend that the first members of Congress were visiting since before relations were broken in 1961.
Senators Jacob Jasvits, Republican, New York, and Claiburne Pell, Democrat, Rhode Island, were not present for the address but met Dr Castro before their departure for home on Monday.
