New Rochelle, NY 10801 By Paul Scott Now that detente has flopped, Under these White House guidelines, the coverup now has been extended to discouraging the U.S. intelligence community from preparing a new assessment as to the total number of Russians and Soviet bloc military personnel in Cuba. r What the White House is concerned is that such an assessment would show that the Soviet contingent in Cuba is the largest outside the Warsaw or Eastern European Communist Pact and that there now more than Soviet Generals in Cuba. LARGEST FORCE IN LATIN AMERICA A new assessment would also show that Cuba now has the most modern and largest military force in all of Latin America. With a regular military force of more than 125,000, the total Cuban military strength is now estimated at as high as 325,000 when the reserves and home guard forces are included. SUBMARINE BASE IN CUBA U.S. intelligence experts say the review would also show that the Russians have BUILT a submarine base in Cuba ad that Soviet officers are integrated in the crews that are operating two submarines that were turned over to Castro and are operating from the base. RUSSIANS HAVE LIED the confronting question Americans is, what kind of a foreign policy should we have? In a penetrating study entitled From Detente to a Forward by Strategy, new America's Future, Inc., Dr. Anthony Bouscaren, Professor of Political Science at LeMoyne College, calls for adoption of a principled foreign policy," one that strives vigorously to advance the cause of world freedom rather than continuing to retreat before Soviet expansionism. Slowly, gradually and almost without political leadership," says Bouscaren. "American opinion is beginning to realize that the Cold War is far from over - indeed, that the pressures of Soviet policy have never been more intense, more diverse, more sophisticated in their PEOPLE DESERVE FULL STORY The real issue isn't whether the Russians have lied but whether the President plans to tell Congress and the American people the full story about the Soviet military buildup and whether he is going to permit it to continue.

West call What we Bouscaren declares, "is a detente'," game orches.deadly zero-sutrated by the Soviet Union, a game which, if played by the rules of the Kremlin, can have but one conceivable outcome - the destruction of republican government, of liberty and civility." Dr. Bouscaren, whose distinguished careerasaned ucator includes the authorship of fifteen books on Communism and Soviet strategy, argues that "in order to win support for a principled foreign policy, wc must proclaim to the world that the United States is unutterably and wholeheartedly e m Pratt When Planned Parenthood Association of Utah people the applied, several months ago, for a $426,000 grant through well-woState Division of Health, they surely thought their sales pitch would once agin mislead the populace, decive the public officials. But organizations, including Right to life of Utah, had other ideas. Their representatives appeared before the County Commissions and Councils of Government, presenting testimony against and distributing litereature from the PP network, of which PPAU is a part. Elected officials, .understandably shocked by this infolks...and formation, invariably sided with the relayed their opinions to Governor Scott Matheson, in whose hands the final decision rests. Right to Life leaders also contacted Matheson directly, twice sending him packets of PP materials, then supplementing their objections during a meeting with his legislative aides. When Matheson failed to respond to any of these pro-lif- e efforts-o- r to the overwhelming outcry from political figurcs-Rigto Life decided to take its message to the public: On June 29th, State Director Jan Carroll released a short and concise press statement about PP and its practices; the following day I submi8tted a longer and more detailed article on the same subject tot to the Salt Lake Tribune's Common Carrier Board.
