THE MANION FORUM By MARILYN MANION CUBA—THE NORTH VIET NAM OF OUR HEMIS PHERE Last weok in this column wo reviewed some revealing testi mony hy Paul Bethel, who was the U. S. press attache at our embassy in Havana from 1958 to 1991. Bethel charged that Cuba is now a base for world wide Communist sulwersion— subversion which is actively be ing carried out at this moment. For those who do not con sider “subversion” a threat to their individual lives, and. therefore, do not worry about it, Bethel has more testimony. He revealed over the Manion Forum radio program that then * 1 is a definite buildup tak ing place only 90 miles away from us. “The facts as wo know them,” said Bethel, “are these: We know without a doubt that there is a proliferation of var ious types and sizes of mis siles in Cuba, we know that they are air-breathing missiles, wo know that there are this type of mi osile and that type of missile. In other words, there has been a reintroduction of missiles which go beyond the identification of surface-to-air missiles, which was made at the time of the 1992 missile crisis Yet, there's been no of ficial public recognition of that fact by our government. "I don’t think that this lack of recognition is a matter of intelligence. 1 believe that our intelligence community is very much on the ball and that they have been reporting that there are missiles in Cuba that have the capability of reaching this country. 1 don't believe that the silence sourroundmg the Soviet military buildup in Cu ba, the existence of MIC 21 aircraft which can carry bomb loads that will easily reach the United States and Central Am erica, is based on any intell;g- t lice yap uhaC-oevi r I think the s deuce i > po] i: ica,!," To underscore the prebaial ty that this silence ; - indeed pel tical, consider what happened to certain Cent ral A mer lean ant i-Communis! > only a few month> ago: " I .a.-t Xovemb. : 1, " is caUed Be11 ad, "tie • osta K can legis lature voted imam moindy to permit the Costa Rican terrain to be used as a ba. e for Cuban exiles to operate against Cuba end to get materials to the resistance movement inside the country. \'o sooner had that been pas.-ed than Joaquin Tre- jor, who is president of Co.Aa Rica, received word from the American embassy and from other official sources that if he should do that, his aid mon ey would be cut off.” All of this makes one recall, of course, President Kennedy’s reputed promise to Khrusehev that Cuba would not be invaded by us or our friends. If that promise was really made, this country has a hard road ahead. “Cuba is the North Vietnam of this hemisphere,” warned Bethel. “It’s carrying out sub version rapidly in Latin Amer ica. They have said openly that they hope to create conditions in which we will commit troops to Colombia, troops to Venez uela, troops to Panama, and gradually bleed us in the way that they’re bleeding us in Viet Nam. If we get into a situation like that, what develops in Lat in America is going to make Vietnam look like a Sunday School picnic.” Promoted at SCN Bank Mrs. Anna W.

Music club has final meeting of season The Newberry Music Club held it final meeting of the year during National Music Week on Tuesday, May 9th at the Community Hall at 8:00 p. m. Miss Lorraine Paris, presi dent, called the meeting to order and extended a special welcome to the invited guests of the members. The theme of study for the year has been “The World of Music” and Miss Paris briefly reviewed the countries that have been presented during the year for musical study. These include. Russia, England, Am erica, Poland, Scandinavia, and countries of the Orient. The December program was en titled “Christmas Around The World.” d’he Hymn of the Month, “Softly Now the Light of Day” was introduced by Mrs. Al Busby. Mrs. II. B. Wilson read the National Federation of Music Clubs collect. Miss Juanita Hitt reported that the Newberry Music club received a double ribbon, three- star award at the state con vention of the S. C. Federation of Music Clubs, held recently in Columbia. The club won the Industrial Growth Outlook Industrial expansion in S. C. during the past two years have amounted to more than one hiilion dollars in capital invest ments. Hopefully, we can con- tinue this record-breaking pace in 1997; but a growth rate of $1.3 million per day is a “hard act to follow.” The tight money market, as we found out on our recent industry-seeking trip to New York, is easing up somewhat. That development, coupled with the fact that South Caro lina now suffers “inrustrial aid” revenue bond financing, may be the key to our success in ’97. Probably our greatest growth will occur in the last half of the year, particularly in the last quarter. By then, major corporations which are interested in the revenue bonds will have made their decisions. Our trip to New York, set up by the State Development Board, was very encouraging to all 27 South Carolinians who made the trip with us. The reception, they said, was the warmest they could remember. We noted that the State of South Carolina no longer needs an introduction to the execu tives of the giant corporations. One executive told us, “When we think of expanding or moving, we naturally think of South Carolina.” Our State image (in all respects) can- tinues to be very good, and South Carolinians can be oroud of that fact. We can report at this time that some of the industrial prospects who had been look ing elsewhere are now looking at our State, as a result of the revenue bond legislation enact ed this year. One corporation senior division award of merit, and M iss Hitt was recognized for the patriotic program she presented on February 22 as contributing the best program on American music. Mayor Er nest Layton was commend d for his proclamation of Nat ional Music Week. The program for the evening entitled “Music International” was led by Prof. Durr Wise.
