They'd been waiting for me because I'd been doing it dropping leaflets for six or seven years." He and Bailey were taken to a hospital, examined for injuries, then detained at a hotel for interrogation, he said. After a few days, they were flown to Havana, questioned at security police headquarters and imprisoned. Prison guards stripped and searched them, then gave them sleeveless khaki overalls left over from the Batista regime. White said "We were continually interrogated." he recalled.

"I had a black hood tied over my head. For two weeks it was rather mild questioning. They were trying to qieeze a CIA confession out of me. "When they saw they weren't getting anywhere, they tied a hood over my head, threw me in a car and drove me around the complex to make me think I was being moved." Refuses to Cooperate White said he was subjected to other forms of psychological punishment after refusing to cooperate with Cuban authorities. "They put me in two different refrigerated cells, each colder than the next," he said.

One time Catiae4 frm First Pie He and the other Americans were lold Oct. 15 that they were to be pardoned and ould be released, he said, but they were skeptical because their Cuban captors often tormented them with psychological tricks. "We were taken out of the pnson three different times and prepared to go (home) and we didn't go," he said. "I didn't believe it until I saw all the press walking into the pnson complex. When lhr aircraft left Havana we were all excited.

You're not heme until you're home. With a government like that, they could pull anyone they want off the plane." White said he thinks the release was 3 Fo'lliCal move precipitated by Cuban Premier Fidel Castro's fear that Ronald Reagan might be elected President He said Cuban newspapers quoted Castro as calling Reagan "another Adolph Hitler." He dso credited pssure fro.n the U.S. government, the press and his prayers for the release. White and another missionary named Melvin Lee Bailey, of Newport News, were dropping leaflets over Cuba from a small plane in the early morning hours of May 27, 1979, when they lost their bearings in a storm, ran low on fuel and were forced to land on a coastal highway just outside the town of Manzanillo. Bailey was the pilot "We thought we were in Jamaica," he said.

"The food wasn't high protein, but I received sufficient food there because they were worried about me croaking." White, who lost about 15 pounds dunr.g the ordeaL Although he was never beaten, as were the Cuban inmates, White said he was dragged around the floor on several occasions. "They tried to scare me." he said, "but they never put a scratch on me." He said the Americans also were attacked one time by Cuban inmates who wanted their food.

But in some ways the psychological punishment was worse than a beating. "I was told I had cancer," said White, who has undergone two cancer surgeries. "It was hard when I thought about my children. That was the hardest thing. My son (Daniel) was a year old and my daughter (Dorothy) was three years old.

They found out the children's names and taunted me." White's wife visited him twice and wrote letters, but correspondence was censored, he said. He passed most of his time talking with Cuban political prisoners he befriended and studying Spanish and reading. White and his companion were sentenced to 24 years. "That amount of time was really numbing to the mind." he said, "but no one really believes he'll serve 24 years. I thought 5 to 10." White, who works for a Glendale-based missionary group called Jesus to the Communist World, said the leafletting was a personal effort.

"I was doing it on my own," he said. "I had a free hand on these projects, and I think they were needed. "I have no regrets whatsoever. I would have spent the other 22 and a half years there. Nearly everyone who came to visit us in the prison had a piece of this literature.

NO PARTNER NECESSARY. BALLROOM. VOTE: Promising Continued from First Page considered one of the safest GOP strongholds in the state, with Republican registration edging Democratic, 58,922 (46) to 55,366 (45). The Libertarian in the race is Raymond Wulfe, 53, an electronics engineer from Lake View Terrace. Another freshman assemblyman, William H.

Ivers (R-La Canada Flintridge), appears headed for reelection. However, Democratic hopeful Robert S. Henry, a 32-year-old attorney from Pasadena, has leveled strong charges that the 50-year-old incumbent's conservative orientation is too far to the right even for the 42nd district, where Republican voters hold the upper hand, (46) (45). Democrats have the distinct advantage in Northeast Los Angeles, where four-term Assemblyman Richard Alatorre, 37, (D-Highland Park) is seeking reelection to his 55th district seat. He faces Republican Dale Reed, 42, a Glassell Park businessman.

Times Staff Writer Confusion and controversy surround two seemingly innocuous measures on the Nov. 4 ballot in the Glendale area. Opposition has been mounting in recent weeks to Proposition on the ballot for Glendale voters.

It would enable the city to accept state funds to assist in the private development, construction or rehabilitation of rental housing for low or moderate-income individuals or families. Councilman John Day, who wrote the ballot argument favoring the measure, said it would help to alleviate a critical shortage of rental housing in the city. He said Glendale has almost 6,000 low and moderate -income households needing assistance, 43 of which are occupied by senior citizens. No argument against Proposition was submitted, but a group of residents calling itself Concerned Citizens of Glendale is urging voters to reject it. Concerned Citizens sprang up recently to protest construction by a private developer of 38 federally subsidized rental units for low and moderate-income families near Maple and Palmer parks.

The two projects are not related to Proposition and lessons 4 Private Lessons (Vi hrs.) 2 Group Lessons (Vi hrs.) 4 Practice LessonsParties (For new adult students only) voting against the measure would not stop their construction, but Concerned Citizens opposes any subsidized housing projects being built in the city except for elderly Glendale residents. Margaret Hammond, spokeswoman for Concerned Citizens, said the group objects to condemnation of private residential property to make room for subsidized housing. She said such projects bring more crime and reduce property values. In the case of Proposition the situation is one of confusion rather than controversy. Separate School Boards Voters in the Glendale Unified School and Community College districts are being asked whether the districts should be governed by separate boards of education.

The two now share one governing board. No argument against the split was filed, but the analysis of the measure contained in voters' pamphlets erred with regard to how membership on the separate board would be determined should Proposition pass. The county counsel said present board members would serve out their regular terms as members of a common board, and then separate elections in the community college and unified districts would be held at the end of their term to fill the vacancies. Incumbents wishing to run for reelection would choose at the end of their terms which governing board they want to serve on. The terms of Sheldon S.

Baker, June F. Sweetham and Carol Raggio expire in April, 1981. The terms of Blanch Greenwood and Carl Raggio expire in April, 1981. The terms of Blanch Greenwood and Sharon Beauchamp expire in April, 1983. The ballot analysis incorrectly lists Dec.

31, 1980, as the date they must make that choice. ACT NOW! REMEMBER, THIS OFFER IS LIMITED TO OUR FIRST 20 CALLERS FROM THIS ADI (POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT I (POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT) VOTE 140-A NO.

DAILY RESIGN: 2 Leave Continued from Third Page director someone to fill both functions or contract planning services from the county. The last two alternatives, Werner said, would represent "steps backward." Before the community incorporated in 1976, it contracted planning services from the county, he said.

Then, for about a year after incorporation, the assistant city manager served also as planning director. "If they choose someone to do both jobs," Werner said, "they'll lose something on both ends. Both jobs are full-time commitments. When you ask someone to do two jobs, something's got to give either the person or the quality of his work." To contract planning services from the county, Werner said, would be more costly and less community-oriented. Pat Anderson, deputy city clerk, and Nancy Jo Flowers, planning secretary, said they are sad to see their bosses go.

"It's great for them and terrible for us," Anderson said. "We all work so well together. It's so important that you get along with the people you work with every day. Neither of them has ever gotten mad at us about anything." However, Councilman Edmund J. Krause, a staunch proponent of abolishing the planning director's position, said he is not sorry to see Smithson or Werner quit.

"I'm happy," Krause said. "I have no regrets about their resignations. As far as I'm concerned Gary Werner should never have been employed. And Clark Smithson could have gone a long time ago."
