‘Saboteur’ Band
Capture In Cuba
HAVANA (A 5 )—Security officials
claimed Tuesday they had captured
the leader of a band of heavily
armed, U.S.-trained saboteurs who
landed in Cuba the weekend before
President Kennedy clamped his
arms embargo on the island.
An attempt to sabotage the big
copper mines of Matahambre was
smashed, the offical report said,
even though the invaders succeeded
in planting demolition charges.
The charges were discovered be
fore they went off.
Miguel Angel Orozco Crespo,
who reportedly once served as an
army lieutenant under former
President Fulgencio Batista, was
identified as leader of the band.
He was described as “principal
chief of the U.S. Central Intelli-

AGANA, Guam -r- Guam began
Tuesday the long, tragic job of
clearing the debris left by Typhoon
Karen, which killed six and in
jured hunderds, and damaged vir-
bally every structure on this A-
fterican defense stronghold.
Acting Gov. Manuel Guerrero
described the four-hour blow as
the worst disaster in the island’s
history. Damage far exceeded the
destruction caused by assualt
bombardment and fighting in
World War II, when the capital
city of Agana was shot to pieces.

HONG KONG — Chinese Com

erners in Hong Kong that Soviet
Premier Khrushchev is an oppor
tunist, a weakling and a traitor
to the Communist cause.
Those are surprisingly frank
charges for Chinese Communist
officials to make. They indicate

ken a sharp turn for the worse.
U. S. NEWS
WASHINGTON — The Kennedy
administration said Tuesday the
federal budget is headed for a
$7.8 billion deficit — the second
largest in peacetime.
The figure is somewhat higher
than officials had indicated earli
er. And it was a far cry from
the January forecast of a $500-
million surplus.
A Budget Bureau announcement
placed most of the responsibility
for the sea of red ink on Con
gress, a sluggish economy, and
the administration’s own chang
es in tax policy.

OROZCO CRESPO and a com
panion named Pedro Vera Ortiz
were seized at a farm in a hilly
x’egion near Vinales Nov. 2, just
13 days after they landed, the re
port said.
The Cuban account said Orozco
Crespo had led a “special mission”
ashore in two squads—each made
up of six men—near Matahambre
on Cuba’s westei'n tip.
They landed Oct. 19-20, using
a rubber raft equipped with a muf
fled motor, carrying half a ton of
weapons, explosives, radio trans
mitters and food for two weeks.

When Ray was asked what he
thought of letting the council vice
president serve as the element of
exchange between the groups, he
said, “This is not the main thing
we wanted. We sought a voting
representative of the senate so
that the student body would be
represented in the important deci
sions we make.”
THE MSC COUNCIL has ex
tended an invitation to the Student
Senate for the previous three years
as provided by its constitution only
to have it declined by the senate
in accordance with its constitution.
“The main purpose for voting
the provision out of the constitu

flict between two organizations,”
Ray pointed out.
