Lennon also criticized the Ken nedy. administration for the inclu sion of Alliance for Progress 'func in the general foreign aid prc gram.

He said the two program should have been handled on the own merits -as individsal items.

(AP)-Subteirane- passages dug beneath Havana iy the Spaniards in Colonial days ave been put in order by the 'idel Castro regime for use in case of an invasion, the Cuban Revolutionary Council said today. The council detailed a vast underground network and suggested it cculd be used by the Castro regime as an escape hatch as well as for defense against an enemy. The report was released by Manuel Antonio de Varona, council public relations executive. The report said one underground passage has been extended to Castro's presumed residence. It connects with the sea, the report said.

The council, major anti-Castro organization which mounted the unsuccessful Bay of invasion of Cuba, said also that a network of secret airports and han'gars had been constructed throughout Cuba. At some of the hidden or camouflaged airports, the council added, there are detection devices designed to spy electronically on missile launchings at Cape Canaveral, Fla. Also included in the network, the council asserted, are missile bases undetected by American U2 planes. The tunnels were reported started in 1677 by the Spaniards and completed in 1740.
