PAGE 4 Tuesday, January 13, 1959 The Battalion College Station (Brazot County}', Texas Blood Flows in Cuba As Executions Begin HAVANA, Cuba UP>—Fresh blood flowed heavily Monday in revolutionary vengeance for what the rebels call crimes of the Ba tista dictatorship. Rebel officers said firing squads executed 71 persons over a seven- hour period at a military camp outside Santiago and tumbled them into a 40-yard-long mass grave dug by a bulldozer. Santiago military headquarters declined confirmation. But a huge mound of fresh raw earth was Seen by AP correspondent Stan ford Bradshaw Monday afternoon at the reported scene of the execu tions. Shot at Rifle Range This was the Campo de Tiro rifle range, a mile from Santiago and a mile from San Juan Hill, the scene of the Rough Riders’ charge that helped in the Span- ish-Ameriean War to free Cuba from Spanish rule. Later reports said firing squads executed eight more persons at Bayamo in western Oriente prov ince and “various” at Guantanamo. About 50 supporters of ex-Pres- ident Fulgencio Batista—largely police executives, secret agents and informers—had been put to death previously by the victorious rebels of Fidel Castro. Thousands Face Trial Nearly 3,000 face trial on charg es ranging from torturing prison ers to treason. Among them is Maj. Gen. Eulogio Cantillo, who commanded the armed forces for a short time after the fall of Ba tista’s government New Year’s Bay. Cantillo and 50 military associ ates are slated to be arraigned be fore revolutionary tribunals later this week in Havana. Castro had accused Cantillo of treason for let Economist Presents Marketing Paper James R.

Magazine Shows Bitterness Bitter feelings were reflected in a special edition Monday of the weekly news magazine Bohemia. It carried hundreds of pictures of what it called Batista terrorism and atrocities and charged that 20,000 Cubans had been killed in the interval since Batista seized power in 1952. It assailed Earl E. T. Smith, who has resigned as U. S. Ambassador to Cuba, as “the servant of the despot.” Smith de clined comment. Rebel policy has been to bar newsmen and the public from ex ecutions. There had been no hint that mass executions were planned. Bradshaw relayed this account of the Campo de Tiro incident as told to him by rebel officers: Executions Described The prisoners-—described as mil itary men, police officials, civilian spies and informers “known as criminals and oppressors”—were moved by trucks from 3 to 10 a.m. to the rifle range. There they were lined up along the trench, 10 feet wide and 10 feet deep. Some prisoners smoked. Some protested that they were ac tually members of the rebel move ment. Most stood at attention, without blindfolds and with their arms unbound. Rifles and some automatic wea pons cut them down. As each group was shot, offi cers in charge passed along the trench to give each man the coup de grace. Ran for Freedom One of the prisoners was said to have made a break for free dom. He was captured and shot in the woods half a mile away. Three priests were on hand. Some of the shooting was wit nessed by Fidel Castro’s brother, Raul, now head of the Santiago military distn'et. Raul said in an interview Sunday prisoners in Or iente province, of which Santiago is the capital, probably totaled 500. Prof to Present Paper at Meet Dr. R. W.

Texas poultry products which are not of sufficient quality to pass federal .inspection and sub sequent out-of-state marketing are going to be marketed at home, the department said. There is no inspection law for poultry in Texas. A poultry plant may voluntarily arrange for in spection services and secure the right to attach an official tag of approval. Houston, Pecos, Wichita Falls, Midland and Brenham prohibit the sale of uninspected poultry products through local ordnances. Similar ordnances are pending in Tyler, Lubbock, Amarillo, Odes sa, Waco and Big Spring. “Every other city in the state faces the possibility of becoming a dumping ground for unfit poul try,” the department said. The department warned house wives not to mistake the large wing tag reading “Grade A” to mean the bird had been inspected for wholesomeness. It said to look for the “inspected and passed” tag.
