likely that Castro might seize on
the incident as ammunition for
his charges of aggressive intent
on the part of the United States
There have been unconfirmed
reports, too, that the Cubans
might stage a violent incident at
Guananamo and try to blame the
United States. Publicly, Castro
has said only that he would try
by legal means to abrogate the
treaty under which the United
States has held Guantanamo for
more than half a century.
The present Marine garrison at
the big base is about 200, and it
was announced about a week ago
that it was being reinforced by
about 100 men.
The State Department said in
its notes to the 21-nation OAS—o
which Cuba is a member that
Cuban charges of pending in-
vasion by U.S. forces are fakes
and intended to cover the arms
build-up. -
In reference to the arms ship
ments, the State Department
said: “This has been carried out
in an atmosphere of secrecy
which may be judged by the
strict security measure* it (the
Cuban government* has recently
imposed in the area of Cuban
ports and military installations.
"With the notorious assistance
of extraterritorial powers, specifi-
cany those of the Soviet bloc,
Cuba is expanding rapidly its ca-
pacity to give armed support to
the spread of its revolution in
other parts of the Americas."
