(AP) A plot U.S. officials say was aimed at overthrowing a foreign country apparently Communist Cuba has been revealed in the arrest of nine persons in a $465,000 munitions smuggling scheme. Allegedly stretching from New York 1 to Louisiana, Texas and Mexico, the plot came to light with the arrests Saturday. In Addition, nearly seven tons of plastic explosives were seized in a DC4 transport plane at Shreveport, federal agents said. U.S.

Atty. Gerald Gallinghouse said Sunday federal officials "have no reason to believe that the munitions were destined for any country other than Cuba." The complaint charging two of the men, Murray Kessler of Brooklyn, N.Y., and Adler B. Seal of Baton Rouge, alleged they "knew and believed that this material would be used in an attempted overthrow of a foreign The two men were arrested near the New Orleans International Airport. i Gallinghouse refused to say precisely that the overthrow plot involved Cuba. The nine were charged with conspiring to smuggle the explosives from the United States to Mexico for future shipment to a third country.

Among those arrested were Richmond Harper, a prominent South Texas rancher-banker, and Marion Hegler, a former inspector with the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service. They were taken into custody at Eagle Pass, where they reside, then released on $25,000 bond each. The federal complaint alleges dealings by a man known as "Carlos Diaz" to purchase as much as $1.2 million in munitions and weapons, ranging from submachine guns to Ml6s. No guns, however, were aboard the plane raided by federal agents at Shreveport on Saturday.

The federal complaint alleges Kessler agreed last Wednesday to sell to Diaz 13,500 pounds of C-4 plastic explosives, 7,000 feet of primacord, 2,600 electrical blasting caps and 25 electrical detonators for $430,000. In addition, it alleges that another $35,000 was to be paid for flying the explosives to an airfield near Vera Cruz, Mexico. The complaint said that last Friday "Kessler told Carlos (Diaz) that he had no M16 rifles, but he had the C-4 as per their agreement." A rental aircraft was flown that afternoon from Hammond, to Shreveport, the complaint said. "A rental van then went to the South Western Pipe Co. in Shreveport and then picked up 13,500 pounds of a plastic explosive commonly known as C-4," the complaint said.

"The explosive was then transported back to the site where the DC4 aircraft was being kept and per an agreement between Kessler and Diaz, the explosives were loaded onto the aircraft," it said. Federal agents then moved in.
