Mr. Speaker. I wish to again draw the attention of the House to the ominous outburst by Cuban refugees in Miami last ThursdayFebruary 21during which exiled Cubans engaged in street rioting accompanied by threats and imprecations against local police authority and the American way of life. So dangerous was this situation. so disruptive of the usual quiet life of a peaceful community. that it was headlined in the responsible Miami News of that date in these words: "350 Howling Cuban Exiles Battle Police. Pickets HereOfficers StonedRioters Arrested." And Milt Sosin. reporter of the Miami News. placed the tragic and ugly incident before the public in his following news story. part of which I shall now read: A howling. rockthrowing mob of more than 350 Cuban exiles battled with Miami police today in front of the Cuban Revolutionary Council headquarters in protest against picketing by four members of a nationwide pacifist organization.
