t.teo an aprliCdtioo win tue i i i i Departmeni. Austin. lor renewal Ol Permit No to art-age NOTICE jM jn, Castro Tied To Kennedy Deaths LAS VEGAS, Nev. I Cuban Premier Fidel Castro's vow of vengeance against the Kennedys after learning of a CIA plot to assassinate him led to their later murders. Las Vegas i a Monday in a copyrighted story.

Greenspun said evidence in his possession combined with documents in the hands of congressional committees "provides a a a a i leading to logical conclusions as to why the Kennedy brothers were killed. "That path leads straight to the door of a vengeful Castro." Castro vowed vengeance. Greenspun said, a a CIA plot en'iTsting figures to assassinate him following the "Bay of Pigs" incident. At a meeting with officials from South and Latin American states shortly after an attempt on his life in 19G3, Castro said, "The Kennedys have sought to kill me; 1 shall mete out the same justice to them," the publisher reported. (The Senate Intelligence i in November said there was evidence of at least eight plots involving the CIA to assassinate Castro between 1960 and 15X55.

It said the CIA was i the murder of the Cuban leader the same day President John F. Kennedy was killed in Dallas.) Greenspun said Kennedy wanted to counteract the damage the "Bay of Pigs" caused to his political career and the president's brother. Attorney General physically located his headquarters at the CIA "in order to personally direct the counter 'measures he deemed necessary to offsel the harmful blow to the Kennedy political fortunes. A significant part of Robert a revolved about the plan to kill Castro, Greenspun said. "Castro agents captured a CIA assassin and tortured him into revealing to Castro personally, the entire plot to kill him.

What is most significant is tha 1 Castro's threat was to the Kennedys and not to the President alone. This becomes even more meaningful in light of assassinations of both John and Robert Kennedy." Greenspun said the late U. S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren was advised "by a person of unquestioned integrity and patriotism" of the CIA plot to kill Castro and of Castro's vow of vengeance. Warren instructed U.

S. Secret Service Chief James Rowley to tell the American people the truth but instead the case was turned over to the FBI. The late J. Edgar Hoover up FBI investigative errors made in its report to the Warren Commission by informing President Lyndon Johnson that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in killing John said. Defense Rests In Hearst Trial SAN FRANCISCO (L'Pl) The defense rested in the trial of Patricia Hearst a i a successful parting shot asking that all charges be dismissed on grounds the government had withheld evidence tending to show her innocent.

U.S. i i Oliver J. Carter denied the motion, and the prosecution Tuesday will begin its windup" rebuttal which could send the case to the jury by Friday but more likely e'arly next week. "Your honor, the defense rests," said attorney F. Lee Bailey after 11 days of testimony which starred Miss Hearst herself in a week on the witness stand during which she swore she joined a bank robbery out of sheer terror of her kidnapers.

There was a hot exchange between U.S. Attorney James L. Browning Jr. and another defense lawyer. A Johnson, over whether the prosecution had withheld photographs made by bank cameras which showed guns pointed at Miss Hearst during the holdup.

a i a i made available to the defense only after the government rested gave a different impression of what happened in the bank and on that grounds asked for dismissal of the indictment. i a i defense had access to the same movie negatives as the government and said he Laryngectomy Club To Meet The Gaiveston County Laryngectomy Club will meet at 30 tonight in Bethel Hall (audiology and speech pathology center) at the University of Texas Medical Branch.

denied in any event that the enlarged photographs were "exculpatory" evidence. Carter earlier Monday had refused to admit before the jury the testimony of an expert on "speech patterns" who said she was certain that Miss Hearst was not the author of revolutionary statements she made on tape recordings during her captivity or documents saying she joined the bank robbery willingly. Dr. Margaret Singer, a clinical psychologist at the University of California at Berkeley, said the words were written for her by SLA members Angela Atwood and William and Emily Harris and did not reflect the defendant's style. Judge Carter ruled there was no precedent for testimony by an expert on speech patterns no matter how well qualified, and that Miss Singer's testimony could lengthen the trial by days without providing necessary backup of the testimony given by three i a i The government had two experts of its own waiting to testify in rebuttal.

They are Dr. Harry L. Kozol, a psychiatrist who is the director of a treatment center in Bridgewater, a a dangerous persons and a i i i motivations, and Dr. Joel Fort, a San Francisco physician and criminologist who has testified at the trial a a Timothy Leary and Lenny Bruce. The arguments over the photographs inside the bank got into highly technical grounds of "masking" and the difference shown in 5-by-7 inch prints compared with 8-by- 10 inch stills.

FBI photographic expert Vernon Kipping said there a a i a i anything in the pictures, but he acknowledged that the larger prints did show SLA member Camella Hall pointing a rifle in the direction of Miss Hearst while the smaller ones left Miss Hall out. On the stand with the jury out of the courtroom. Dr. Singer said her study of 25 sections of seven tape- recordings in which Miss Hearst's voice was heard showed she made only five of them spontaneously and using her own words. The ones in which she i a i revolutionary slogans and castigated her parents were written for by Miss Atwood, Dr.

The final tape after the Shootout in which six SLA members, including Miss Atwood. were killed was written for her jointly by a i said. During its case the defense called 12 witnesses, compared to 32 by the prosecution. Most important by far was the story told by the 22- a a omelimes gulping for breath and wiping her eyes, of being held in a closet, sexually molested, interrogated and threatened until she was convinced she would be killed if she did not follow orders.

That account was reinforced by the testimony of psychiatrists Dr. Louis J. West of UCLA, Dr. Martin Orne of the Institute of Pennsylvania Hospitals, and Dr. Robert Jay Lifton of Yale.

They agreed that her brutal treatment brought a "traumatic neurosis," a severe mental illness in which she could not control her actions, and that when she was arrested she had a "survivor's syndrome" displaying symptoms the a as A i a prisoners held by the Chinese, Koreans and Vietnamese. The defense also called eyewitnesses to her abduction on Feb. 4,1974, with details about her being carried out bodily and screaming that left little doubt that the kidnaping was bona fide.
