The FLAQ is a self-styled ter- rorist group that says it wants to free Quebec from Canada by violent means. In a pamphlet is- sued several days ago, it said that its next operation would be JFK Denies Promising Second Cuba Invasion WASHINGTON (AP) -- Presi- dent Kennedy has denied ever promising a U.S. invasion of Cuba and has ruled out that kind of venture now. "It would be a mistake," he said. But "time will see Cuba free again," the president told the American Society of News- paper Editors Friday, "and I think when that happens the record will show that the United po has pla:ed a significant role.' The president also ruled out another kind of venture--an ad- ministration onslaught against the steel industry and raising prices last week. Kennedy described the boosts as selected price increases that were "responsive to market sit- uations." "It represents, really, about a one-per-cent price increase for steel products which restores, really, the onesper-cent that has been lost since 1959 in the price of steel," Kennedy told the edi- tors. But the president said he is concerned about the phychologi- cal effect, and hoped steel-us- ing manufacturers would absorb the new costs and not pass them on to the public.

Kennedy was asked to com- ment on the accusation by Cu- ban refugee leader Jose Miro Cardona that Kennedy had re- neged on a promise to invade Cuba. "Nobody in the United States government ever informed any- one in the government or. out- side the government, Dr. Car- dona or anyone else, that we were going to launch, com- mitted ourselves to launch, a military invasion with six divi- sions," the president said. Kennedy said "the United States cannot launch itself into a massive invasion of Cuba without considering the world- wide implications to other free countries and also its effect upon our own position." The president said he hoped the refugees did not see the present situation as "a struggle between the United States and the exiles." "We want to work with Dr. Cardona and all other cubans," Kennedy said, 'but we must maintain the control of our pol- icy here in the United States and here in Washington and will continue to do so," Grimau admitted he was elected to the committee at con- ferences held outside Spain. in 1954 and 1959 but denied he led party activities in Spain. He also denied the charges he tortured Franco supporters. Information Minister Manuel Iribarne said there was no ques- tion of commuting sentence in view of "the gravity of the crimes of. the accused man." He described Grimau as 'a -|notorious torturer who came back to continue his crimes." Grimau returned from exile in -|France last November and was immediately arrested. He ad- -|mitted that he came back to Spain on a naission' for the out- lawed Communist party. Khrushchev's clemency ap- peal was only one of many. An- other came from Queen Mother Elisabeth of Grimau's wife telephoned from Paris to Washington to ask President Kennedy to intervene. The U.S. government said it could not interfere.
