Castro reviewed an 80-minute parade of ground units, overflown 21 Soviet-designed MIGs, then by blamed Cuba's rearmament strictly on its big neighbor to the north. "Without Yankee imperialism," the bearded prime minister declared in a broadcast address. "we would not need a single one of these tanks, cannons, planes or a single soldier." Celebrating the third anniversary of his victory over Fulgencio Batista's dictatorship, Castro said never pose a military threat to any other nation. The now-professed disciple of Marx and Lenin declared, howthat peoples of the hemiever, sphere would not regard another attack on Cuba tranquilly.

Aiming his words to other Latin William Americans, he said: "Brothers, 47-year-old mobilize against any eventuality. and The stupider they (the United civic States) act, the faster the hour of early liberation approaches." His Cuban audience roared approval. Castro issued a call for another national assembly of the Cuban people-meaning a mass meeting in Havana on the model of one staged in 1960-for Jan. 22 as an answer to the hemispheric foreign conference opening that ministers at the Uruguayan resort of day Punta del Este.

Soldiers in uniforms some in their early teens, juggled automatic weapons as they rode by in trucks and personnel carriers to the strains of "'The Internationale." Radar artillery-aiming devices and double-barrled antiaircraft guns were pulled in the procession.

Contrasting with last year's eight-hour show, there were no infantrymen or militiamen afoot. The watching crowd cheered lustily as the MIGs, supersonic single-seaters, sped overhead. Castro spoke for an hour and 45 minutes. He charged that the United States is "maintaining colonialism throughout the world." Resuming his warnings against any intervention in Cuba, he said his armed forces have been much improved since they defeated the Bay of Pigs invasion last April. "We are not a warmonger," he said.

"'We do not want to these arms. But we shall fight (if attacked) with a fierceness imagined by our enemies. We will exterminate them. We await the invaders with 8 smile on our lips." children who play in the snow or eat some. Dr.
