Protest. The State Department, in a memorandum to the peace committee of the 21-nation Organization of American States, cited details of Cuba's systematic campaign of "distortions, half-truths and outright falsehoods'' against the U.S. Item: Despite U.S. denials and without producing evidence, Cuba repeatedly blames the U.S. for the March explosion of the ammunition ship La Coubre in Havana harbor, has repeated its accusation in Castro speeches and in pamphlets distributed by Cuban ambassadors throughout Latin America.

...been - a fact that fails to bother its sponsors. Says an Air Force officer involved in the program: "With the Discoverer, we sort of rigged our own public relations trap, because recovery was the last item on our laundry list of objectives. But Discoverer is really the test bed from which an awful lot of earth satellite systems will flower...
