Campaign Against U.S. is Intensified In Cuba
By HAROLD K. MILKS
HAVANA, Cuba (AP)—Cuba’s rejection of U.S. government complaints over Fidel Castro’s behavior suggested Wednesday that the anti-American campaign tere probably will be intensified. The men who have been most hitter in the attacks on the United States appear to have the _ premier’s ear.
Cuban-American relations have deteriorated — since May, when Castro’s sweeping agrarian pro- gram became law. This limits the- size of plantations and ranches and provides for distr- bution of seized acreage to land-
‘less farmers.
Critics say the Castro regime is in economic trouble and must create a crisis to hide its dif- ficulties,
Castro’$ supporters deny such statements as of counter-revolu- tionary inspiration.
STATE-CONTROLLED FARMS
A growing complaint is that the agrarian reform ‘program ap- ears to be giving control of Cuban farmlands not to farmers but to the state through the in- creasingly . powerful Institute of Agrarian Reform.
Castro’s cabinet started a néw phase of government control ‘Tuesday with passage of a wide ranging law to control minerals and other natural resources.
This law provides a five-per- cent tax on mineral production, plus 25 per cent on ores and min- erals exported. Immediately af- fected will be such American firms as the $75,000,000 Mao Bay Mining Company, just starting nickel and cobalt production; the $85,000,000 Nicaro nickel. plant, owned by the U.S. government,
