Castro Indictment: 'He's Tough To Handle State Department White Paper To Be Distributed By JAMES MARLOW Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON (AP) President Kennedy's administration this week released a brilliant, 36- page indictment of Fidel Castro's Cuban revolution. But what it adds up to is this: Castro's tough to handle. This indictment, called a State Department White Paper, 'says Cuba is under Communist control, accuses Castro of betraying his revolutionary promises of freedom and social and calls Cuba a menace. Copies of the White Paper will be distributed widely in Latin America where Castro has support, particularly among the landless masses who applaud his taking land from the rich in Cuba. But it doesn't offer any solutions for getting rid of Castro unless you want to read into it a veiled suggestion this country would help a new revolution against him.

Here are some examples of why he's tough to handle: 1. He has the active support of Russia and Red China. Last Aug. 9 Premier Khrushchev threatened to intervene with rockets if this country was responsi ble for an attack on Cuba. 2.

Other Latin-American of them shaky- are hesitant about even criticizing Castro because of his popularity among left-wing groups and the masses in their own countries. While there is no talk in this country of attacking has become a Russian spearhead in the Western world-mother steps short of armed force might be used but the consequences could be unpleasant: 1. For instance, the White paper says Russia has been pour? ing arms into Cuba. Suppose, because of this or for sWe other reason, this country tried to blockade Cuba. Russia might retaliate at once by trying to blocade West Berlin to shut it off from the Western allies with whom it has all its ties.

2. While this country broke off diplomatic relations with Castro and put some restrictions on sugar dealings with him, it still has economic dealings with'Cuba. Suppose this country now tried tough economic sanctions. The result might be increased savings First Federal Savings AND LOAN ASSOCIATION Buckeye at Mulberry Street Kokomo, Indiana ill-will toward the United States throughout Latin America at the very moment when President Kennedy is trying to improve relations. 3.

As for American military action that probably would set back this country's relations with the rest of Latin America by many years. The time may come when the United States feels compelled to take far harsher action than any tried so far. If that time arrives it almost surely will be preceded by worse tensions than now and perhaps even a crisis. What happened last August in Costa Rica is a good example of what this country is up against in trying to win over other Latin- American nations against Castro's Cuba. The then Secretary of State Christian A.

Herter, meeting in Costa Rica with ihe foreign ministers of 20 other Latin republics, wanted them to call on Castro to reject Communist intervention in Cuba and at the same time blast Khrushchev for his rocket threat. The ministers finally put gether a declaration which not only didn't bang Castro but, while condemning outside intervention in this hemisphere, was so wishy- washy that the ministers disagreed among themselves on what it meant. Last April President Eisenhower accused Castro of betraying the ideals of freedom and equal rights in his Cuban revolution. And.in Costa Rica Herter talked about Cuba's coming under Red influence. But neither man directly called Castro a Communist himself.

Neither did this week's White Paper. But it did pile evidence upon evidence to show Cuba is run by Communists now. There is one nice irony in all this: If the volatile and unpredictable Castro is not a Communist, because he refuses to accept party discipline, then it's possible, though unlikely, some day he may turn on the Communists in Cuba and destroy them. Therefore, at this moment they may wish they could knock him to prevent any turn-around by him later, now that he's served their purpose which was to get control. But he is the popular hero.

If he disappears, a new revolution might destroy them. INDIANAPOLIS (AP) Three 'ndianapolis men were held today on federal charges of conspiracy counterfeit $10 bills. Gene L. Alger, 53, and Curtis j. McClung, 39, who waived examination Wednesday, were held under $15,000 bond each.
