Across the country, workers responded to Castro's appeal for funds to buy arms abroad. Around the clock, Havana television stations paraded donors, small and large. Some unions set a 4% deduction from salaries. In Pinar del Rio, 400 common prisoners pledged to stop smoking for two days and send in the 20? that each saved. Since Castro apparently cannot get the 17 Hawker Hunter jets that he wants from England (TIME, Oct. 26), he promised to buy planes "anywhere I can." Even Russia? asked a reporter. "Even the moon...

"Our trees are being slaughtered," added Columnist Indro Montanelli. "because they have neither voices nor votes. We are being drowned in a wave of cement...
Center of activity is Pinar del Rio, Cuba's westernmost province, where prosperous tobacco growers stand to lose their land to Castro's agrarian reform. The fighting arm is headed by a former Batista army corporal named Luis Lara. Last month Castro's troops captured 20 of Lara's men, including two U.S. aircraft pilots. But Lara remains at large...
