More than eight hours after Alexander Rorke Jr. of New York gave reporters his ac- count of a low-level bombing run over a Havana oil refinery, the Cuban government echoed most of his story and said it holds the United States respon- sible. But the state department cast doubt on the whole matter. Press Officer Lincoln White said: "We have no information on this at all, and we assume that if it had happened we would have heard about it. The first voice in shrill about this would have been Radio Ha- vana."" After Havana radio broad- cast the Cuban government's statement Friday night White had no comment. Marine Claims Helped Dispose Of Spy's Body WASHINGTON (AP) -- A for- mer officer in the United States Marines is quoted as saying he was forced out of the corps for helping dispose of the body of a slain Cuban spy. Pennsylvania members of the U.S. Congress who said they tried to help the man, former Ist Lieut. William A. Szlli, re- ported Friday that the marines refused to review the case. Representative Richard S. Schwieker (Rep. Pa.) said "the big problef, frankly, was that} he, (Szili) wouldn't tell me the! story." In the only publicly reported but not fully explained killing case of recent years at Guan- tanamo Bay Phe ag ficials reported in October, 7. that the body of Ruben Lopez had been found inside the U.S. naval base. The Cuban press alleged at the time that Lopez had been tortured to death be- Associated Press correspond- ent George Arfeld said in a dis- patch from Cuba that there were no visible indications that the Nico Lopez refinery outside Havana had been bombed. He said usually reliable sources had expressed doubt there was a raid, Havana radio said "The Cu- ban 'government holds the United States government res- ponsible for these pirate attacks and the consequences that may come from them." It said a formal diplomatic protest was being prepared. As outlined by the Cuban gov- ernment, the raid took place at 10 p.m. Thursday night. Rorke told reporters the plane started its bombing run at 8:55 p.m. and was over the refinery in four minutes and 40 seconds. HAVE SAME DETAILS In most other details the two versions meshed. Both Rorke and the government statement said a two-engine plane ap- proached from the north, flew over the Nico Lopez refinery, dropped a 100-pound bomb and several napalm fire bombs then flew northward. . Havana radio said none of the bombs exploded. Rorke said he thought he heard the 100- pounder .hit a refinery tank but he was unable to see any dam- age. He said he was busy film- ing the raid, but that the film turned out poorly.

In the final hours of the ses- sion; opened Nov. 27, specula- tion increased that an Ontario general election will be called this year. In winding up the budget de- bate, Premier John Robarts brought a show of mock despair from opposition benches with a Statement concerning byelec- tions in four vacant ridings. Mr. Robarts, noting that by- elections dre. legally impossible while the House is sitting, said his Progressive Conservative government is about to enter the fifth year of a five-year mandate. have an opportunity of sitting in the present legislature, he Said. IN GENERAL ELECTION? While the statement did not commit the government to any course on a general election, some opposition members re- garded it as an indication the ridings of Halton, Sault Ste. Marie, Hamilton Centre and Nickel Belt will vote next when the rest of Ontario votes. The Conservatives hold 65 of the legislature's 98 seats. There are 24 Liberal members and five New Democrats. In answer to opposition sound- ings on the election theme this session, Mr. Robarts has been non -*committal, several times reminding the House that his government's mandate doesn't need renewing until June, 1964.
