...Democrat Bayh (pronounced by), former Speaker of the Indiana House, angrily denounces Capehart as a "warmonger." Capehart, he charges, is "playing politics with the blood of American boys and the safety of American homes." Bayh supports the Kennedy Administration argument that Castro may collapse from economic chaos, cites the Kennedy pledge that action will be taken against any aggressive attempt to export Communism from the island.

...former Peronista officers. Most of them call for early elections to choose a new Congress and a constitutional President, argue that the Peronistas should be returned at least some of their political rights. But their main point of unity last week was jealousy of the in-status of the Democrat wing of the army, and anger over the fact that they were being dismissed from key commands.
