What is going on in this island? My distinguished friend from Florida mentioned the Isle of Pines today. Reports are coming out of Cuba from some of the refugees who came across in these ships. some of those who were prisoners on the Isle of Pines. that there is a tremendous Communist activity and buildup there. They say that the Isle of Pines is the transshipment point for arms drops to Latin America. and that the Russians are now asking that the Isle of Pines be turned over for use exclusively by the Russians for such arms buildups and as an available depot for arms drops to other Latin American countries. Reports are persistent from the islands on the north shores of Cuba that there is constant military buildup in a secretive manner. with not even the Cubans being permitted to be on the islands to see what is going on.
