talks to a reporter after being jailed in Miami, Fla., on murder charges
growing out of the dropping of leaflets over Havana.—AP Wirephoto.
Diaz Lanz Undecided ‘
Whether He Wants Bail
MIAMI. Fla.. Nov. 5 <AP>.—Maj. Pedro Diaz Lanz. jailed by
United States authorities on Cuban charges of murder and
attempted murder, has conferred with friends who offered to
bail him out.
Maj. Diaz Lanz will decide whether to accept the offer
during talks with Carlos Echegoyan, one of the friends, it was
reported today. Mr. Echegoyan
was once intelligence cheif of!
Cuba's air force and has played
host to Maj. Diaz Lanz here.
Mr. Echegoyan said Maj.
Diaz Lanz for reasons of his
own may not want to be bailed
out. Mr. Echegoyan did not say
what the reasons were.
The former head of Fidel
Castro’s revolutionary air force
was jailed in default of $5,000
bond yesterday after a hearing
before Federal Judge Joseph
Lieb. An extradition warrant
called Maj. Diaz Lanz a fugi
tive from Cuban justice.
The murder charges are to be
documented with formal evi
dence withi<two weeks. They
apparently stem from an Octo
ber 21 incident in which small
planes dropped anti - Castro
leaflets on Havana.
The Cuban government
charged that explosives dropped
from the plane killed Joaquin
Fernandez of Havana and in
jured 24 others. Some wit-

The Archbishop of York said
yesterday that after long
thought on the question of the
use of contraceptives he has
concluded "it is right to use
them as part of the Christian
fulfillment of marriage.” But
he added:
“X don’t counsel indiscrimi

it is wrong for ileople to marry
and avoid parenthood.”

! nesses said the death and in
juries resulted from Cubans
trying to shoot down the
planes.
Maj. Diaz Lanz. according to
the FBI. admitted piloting one
of the planes. Agents said the
flight originated in Florida,
about 50 miles from Cuba.
Maj. Diaz Lanz fled to Miami
from puba in June after re
signing as air force chief and
calling Premier Castro a Com
munist. Premier Castro has
called Maj. Diaz Lanz a tsaitor.
“I’m thankful to God,” Maj.
Diaz Lanz said yesterday after
his arrest, “I'm not in Cuba at
this time. I am confident I
will.receive fair treatment.”
Motorist Granted
Chance at Lighter
Assault Sentence
A motorist charged with
assault after honking his horn
at another driver today won a
chance for a lighter sentence.
Edward H. Hensley of the
900 block of Eleventh street
N.W., was convicted after a
traffic disputa last spring.
Judge Edward A. Beard, in
sentencing Hensley, who is no
stranger in court, told him:
“I am afraid the string for
you has run out. In this case
you are going to have to serve
1 one year’s straight time and
you are going to have to pay a
fine of SSOO or serve another
year.”
The penalty was the maxi
mum authorized by law.
In reversing the lower court
decision, the Municipal Court
of Appeals said there was no
merit in Mr. Hensley’s request
for reversal of his conviction.
It must stand.
However, the court said
Judge Beard erred when he
didn’t give the motorist an
opportunity to make a state
ment in his own behalf and
to present any information as
mitigation of punishment.
“This situation must be cor
rected by remanding the case
for re-sentencing,” the upper
court decided.

Douglas Opposes
Camera in Court
DES MOINES, Nov. 5 (AP).
—United States Supreme Court
Justice Douglas closed the con
vention of the lowa Bankers
Association yesterday with crit
icism of what he said were ef
forts of news media to mod
ernize coverage of trials.
Justice Douglas said there is
great controversy over whether
trial coverage by camera, radio
or television should be per
mitted. Declaring that it should
not be, he added:
“The camel should be kept
out of the tent, lest he take
over completely. No spectacle
is conducive to the quite search
for truth. Prosecutors and
judges, as well as defense coun
sel, are human, and the temp
tation* to play to the galleries
will be stronger than many can
resist.”
The convention was sched
uled to adjourn at noon, but
Justice Douglas’ plane was de
layed at Chicago and he did not
arrive until most of the dele
gates had left.

Castro Probes
Fake Report
On Lost Aide
HAVANA. Nov. 5 (AP).—
Fidel Castro’s government or
dered an investigation today
into the origin of a fake report
that the missing army com
mander, Maj. Camilo Clenfu
egos, was alive on a small
island off Cuba.
Supporters of Prime Minis
ter Castro suggested counter
revolutionaries were behind the
hoax to lure the Prime Minis
ter into a trap on the unin
habited island 120 miles south
east of Havana.
The original report was at
tributed to two ham operators
relaying what purported to be
a message from a navy launch
that said it had rescued Maj.
Cienfuegos and called for Mr.
Castro to fly by helicopter and
pick him up.
Starts Demonstration
The report that the popular
army commander was safe
after being missing a week
touched off a wild, spontaneous
demonstration. Shots were
fired in the air in jubilation,
and there were unconfirmed re
ports of seven persons being
wounded by bullets.
President Osvaldo Dorticos,
after conferring with Mr. Cas
tro, quickly announced that the
report was false and told news
jnen: “At this time we have no
news to give on the where
abouts of Maj. Cienfuegos.”
The celebrating crowds were
shocked, surprised and angered
by the official denial. A sound
truck sent out to announce the
denial was attacked by one
enraged group.
Castro Silent
Grim and haggard, Mr. Cas
tro held a two-hour midnight
conference with the air force
chief. Maj. Juan Almeida, and
air force communications of
ficers.
The usually voluble Mr. Cas
tro was silent at suggestions
of the crowd that it was a
plot by his enemies to lure him
into the open in a helicopter.
Maj. Cienfuegos and two
companions vanished on a 300-
mile flight in a twin-engine
plane from Camaguey to Ha
vana. Mr. Castro himself has
been leading the search for the
28-year-old commander, who
was one of his closest associ
ates in the revolution. The
search will continue today.
