Shortly after the commission issued its report Sept. 27, Hoover was entwined in controversy.

Arthur Evans Is Surrounded By Phones Used In UF Drive PHONE BLITZ ROLLING By BOB WYRICK Reporter of The Miami News Two young Polish refugees, free on bond, walked out of Dade County Jail today into the arms of a cheering crowd of Polish-American friends. Released dramatically when an industrialist put up their bail, Jerzy Gzella and Peter Wieclawski won big hugs from Mrs. Marie Dambski, president of Miami's Polish-American Con Lady Luck With UF failed to act on Negro complaints because the agents were Southerners. In his telegram to Hoover, King denied he had attributed FBI ineffectiveness to the heritage of agents.

King said in the accompanying brief statement: "I cannot conceive of Mr. Hoover making a statement like this without being under extreme pressure. He has apparently faltered under the awesome burdens, complexities and responsibilities of his office. Therefore, I cannot engage in a public debate with him. "I have nothing but sympathy for this man who has served his country so well." In addition to his blast at King, Hoover rapped the Warren Commission as "unfair and unjust." Hoover boiled over on these and other matters, including lenient "bleeding heart judges," in a lengthy interview yesterday with a group of women reporters.

He angrily charged the Warren Commission with "a classic example of Monday morning quarterbacking" in discussing its report on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The commission, headed by' Chief Justice Earl Warren, has said the FBI failed to notify the Secret Service that the assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, was in Dallas last Nov. 22, the day Mr. Kennedy was slain.

Cutting Out Fat A few days ago, now President in his own right, elected by the people, LBJ picked up the telephone and called one-of the most influential members of tha United States Senate. His message was brief: He intended to cut all the fat he could find in the next, federal budget, and that meant closing some military bases in the country, and at least two of these bases, which were going to be eliminated, were in the senator's home state. And then yesterday, his secretary of defense, Robert Mc-Namara announced that 95 bases were going to be closed, and a savings of $500 million realized by the.

treasury. A recent estimate of raw military power gave the United States three times more bang than the Soviet Union, and only a few days before McNamara talked yesterday, the 51st nuclear submarine quietly completed her sea trials to extend even more the large gap between the U. S. and the Soviet Union in this vital area of national security. Risky Politics However, with muscle known to be greater than any other country, the closing of a military base in the United States is risky stuff in politics.

The very congressmen who insist on frugal policies in tax monies flip the other way when it is suggested that an air base, for example, in their constituencies, is going to be phased out. This means a loss of jobs and a loss of revenue, and philosophy gets buried beneath the earthy attitudes of the business interests in the community. The closing of a base need not be so drastic in a community. The land goes back to the private interests or the state or the local government, and often back on the tax rolls. The reduction spoken of by McNamara is going to put 377.000 acres back in private or local government across the country.

department of its own estimated more than one per cent of the Cuban refugees in this country are Communist agents. About 200,000 Cubans have arrived since Castro's 1959 takeover. Another exile leader, whose office claims wide access to exile and Cuban underground information, estimated the number of Castro agents at 5,000, including Cubans and Amer? leans. An official of the State Department's Cuban afafirs office here described such claims as without substantiation. Miami District Immigration Director Robert Woytych said his men screen out spies by "one of the most efficient techniques yet devised." He added: "Our record is so tremendous that no cases have been brought to light." The Cuban who issued the estimate of 5,000 agents said: "Many have lived in the United States since before Castro, and are American citizens.

They can cross back and forth into Mexico freely. The Cuban Embassy in Mexico is the hub of the spy network." The exile produced a list of alleged Castro agents or "very suspicious persons." He said his investigation showed that: "One is assigned to watch every important anti-Castro group here. Some are assigned to scan American newspapers. Some are assigned to be trouble makers.

"We could use 10 times as many people," said the general as he turned to answer one of the busy phones. By BOB KILLGORE Reporter of The Miami Newi The "Phone-A-Pledge" blitz for the 1964 United Fund drive got off to a lucky and lucrative start today. George Crawford, taking a break from his busy job as personnel executive for Florida Power and Light, hit for seven pledges out of his first 11 calls.

And Gen. Arthur Evans, president of the UF Board of Trustees, got a $100 pledge on his initial call. "People seem happy," said Crawford. "One said, 'We've been waiting for somebody to come by. We're so glad you've made it convenient'." "Phone-A-Pledge" lasts until Tuesday noon, the closing day of the UF drive.

Charter Boat Sinks; 8 Rescued A 40-foot charter boat caught fire and sank 2y2 miles off Miami Beach today.

Instead they were jailed, and shortly afterward transferred as federal prisoners to Dade County Jail to await deportation.

The passengers were believed to be guests at a beach hotel. The Coast Guard identified the rescue craft as a private sports fishing boat, the Flipper. "Castro knew about the Bay of Pigs invasion. Since then, his espionage network has grown in experience and numbers." FBI Special Agent Howard Al-baugh said his office receives many complaints about supposed Castro agents, but we believe the "situation is under control." about 9,000 to 10,000 workers and New York members of Congress have said a shutdown or job loss there would have a serious economic impact.

We received excellent results in the Miami News Classified," Mr. Norman Green JAVITS McNAMARA KENNEDY WASHINGTON AP) Congressional sources said today the Brooklyn, N. and Portsmouth, N. Navy Yards are among those selected by the Defense Department for shutdown.

A well placed source here said that not only the big Brooklyn naval installation but also two other bases in New York the Brooklyn Army terminal which employes about 2,000 persons, and Fort Jay on Governor's Island also are among the bases slated for closing. Orlando Air Force Base, it was reported by sources in Washington, may be closed, but none of the larger military installations in Florida were expected to be closed. Sen. Thomas J.

Th rise, said, hinged on the fict that the two men had fled from Poland to Sweden and been granted asylum there before stowing away on the boat. "Rut Sweden is an open, internationally free country," countered Novak, "where all groups including the are allowed to operate freely." "To deport them would be the same as returning them to Poland it would clear the way for their murder or life imprisonment in Siberia." Prudent Talk President Johnson, however, has said in public and private conversations that he wants a federal budget as trim as he can get it, and he wants as large a return for the spending as possible, and the word "prudent" gets into the conversation as he talks. Of course this does not mean new expenditures in new programs, but the first brand by LBJ as an elected President has been the one of thrift, which isn't going to be popular, and he surely knows that. He is a sensitive politician. But in this first act, he reveals himself as someone who wasn't talking campaign politics when he used the word "prudent" over and over again in the campaign.
