Amid JFK Administration
For Aid to Cuban Refugees
NEW YORK (AP) - A sharp policy dispute is going on within the Kennedy Administration "about how far to go in helping the Cuban refugees to overthrow the Castro government," the New York Times reported Tuesday.
The Times, which reported the dispute in a Washington dispatch, said it has been going on "at the very top of the government" for two weeks.
The story also said in part:
President Kennedy has been receiving conflicting advice from his principal advisers in the White House, the Central Intelligence Agency and the State and Defense Departments.
Some officials are urging the President to provide enough military and economic assistance to enable the refugees to establish effective control over at least part of Cuba.
It is understood, however, that the State Department is worried about the political and military consequences in the hemisphere and elsewhere of providing military force to achieve political ends.
