Vickers, 56, Miami Springs, de- scribed by higvattorney as “in the airplane business,” Efren Rudolfo Pichardo, 33, Miami, and Marcus Diaz y Lanz, 26, a Cuban in this country on a visitor’s permit. Vickers’ bond was set at $15,000 and the others at $5,000 each. Davis set a preliminary hearing \for them for Dec. 11, After Posting bond, the dapper Prio issued q statement in which jhe denied the charge and said he would fight it. Guilmartin requested $100,000 bond for Prio and said the quanti- ty of arms and ammunition in- volved in the charges was “con- siderabie.” Prio, who returned to Miami earlier this week from Mexico City, said he would issue “a full and complete statement as soon jas I am advised of the specific charges.” The arrests came on the heels jof unconfirmed reports that a rev- olution had been scheduled in Cuba next Monday. This is Cuba’s national day of mourning for dead Patriots. Prio said he had complied with a recent Justice Department or- der that he register as a foreign agent. He said he listed as his foreign principal “nameless un- | Tacy and constitutional ment in Cuba.” Curti said he had registered similarly, Both Prio and Curti waived a removal hearing.

Maggiolo set another mediation meeting for 11 a.m. (EST) today. The strike, especially during this pre-holiday season, has caused losses in merchandising, adver- tising and wages running into many millions of dollars, The fact that the nation’s larg- est city is without a major news- paper evoked an editorial state- ment yesterday by Editor & Pub- lisher, newspaper trade journal, that the New York City newspa- per unions were “completely ir- responsible” and had “suppressed a free press.” The trade. magazine said the ‘Taft-Hartley law should be amend- ed to ban strik nications industry, adding: ‘“Man- datory arbitration is called for. Communications are the lifeline of this country.” Dennis Burke, president of the striking _ photo-engravers’ local, said he had no immediate com- ment. But from Wilkes-Barre, Pa., Joseph Collis, president of the CIO American Newspaper Guild, is- sued a statement which said in part: “Free press, apparently, is con- strued by the publishers to mean they are free to pubtish when they wish, and free not to publish when they wish. ,. “Some of the papers in New has been demonstrated by the fact that two papers which previously |published have been whipped into line by the closed shop of their own union...” Collis was referring to the Her- ald Tribune,’ which voluntarily closed down two days after the other six major city newspapers ‘were struck, and the Long Island Star-Journal, which stopped print- ing yesterday when its stereotyp- ers refused to handle comics and news to have been carried as paid jadvertising from the six struck |newspapers.

He cited the revolutions which are being instituted in Poland, Germany and Hungary among 45- million people who want their free- dom from Soviet tyranny as an- other cause for worry. “When their own people revolt, | there is but one remedy to soli- dify the people and that is te start @ war,” Smathers declar- ed, “And dictators from Napo- leon to Hitler have sought that remedy — the masses are then joined in ‘protecting their home- land’.” He hit out at the “sleazy words of peace being uttered by the — number one Red — Malen- ov.” “He is steeped in the dogma that Communism and Capitalism’ can- not live in peace together,” Sma- thers said. He added that probably the chief hope we have for world peace is an increased armed might. “If Mal- enkov thinks he can win—! think he will strike,” he declared. “The only thing that keeps him from moving is the fact that he might lose and that he and all that he stands for would be destroyed, “I think the Congress has recog- nized the error they made in eut- ting the armed forces appropriation last year,” he commented. Smathers alsa pointed ovt the role that Key West and the state of Florida plays in the national defense effort. He said that Florida \receives the second largest amount of money for the military of any state In the nation. Only Texas exceeeds us, he said.
