...planes are flying armed only with conventional weapons. "We are not flying loaded for bear, but for rabbit," said one pilot wryly. But on the deck of each of her carriers, right over the "special weapons" bay, stands a single A3D bomber. An armed marine guard stands by to keep inquisitive seamen at a distance.

Arrested in Miami last week: Charles Hormel, 45, the smooth-talking, high-flying U.S. citizen who identified himself to a TIME correspondent in Havana as the pilot of a plane loaded with arms that ditched in Guantanamo Bay fortnight ago (TIME, Sept. 1). Charge: violating the U.S. Mutual Security Act by illegally exporting munitions, specifically, a load of arms and ammunition destined for Fidel Castro in his war against Dictator Fulgencio Batista...
