2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Saturday, December 12, 1964 Police Pushing Big Hunt For Bazooka Triggermen | NEW YORK (AP) -- Police pushed a massive hunt among New York City's many Cuban exile groups today in hopes of turning up the persons respon- sible for firing a bazooka shell at the United Nations head- quarters building. The shot fell short of its mark and exploded harmlessly in the East River Friday. The Federal Burequ of In- vestigation, the Central Intel- ligence Agency and the intel- ligence services of the army, navy and air force were re- ported in on the hunt. The bazooka firing. which may have been the work of anti-Castroites, came as a Cu- ban' minister was addressing delegates inside the UN build. ing. a few moments later, from a crowd of some 50 antt-Castro pickets in front of the UN, a woman brandishing a hunting knife sprang toward the build- By CARL MOLLINS TORONTO (CP)--Crimes of violence can be reduced if the community takes steps to re- Reduced Aggressiveness Cuts Violence: Experts tributing to the relatively lower rate of violent crime in Britain include the facts that British police generally are unarmed, ing, bent on assassinating the Cuban minister, Ernesto (Che- Guevara. She was subdued by police. GUEVARA COOL Guevara reacted coolly when he learned he had been her target. He said he forgave her, adding: 'It is better to be killed by a woman with'a knife than a man with a gun." The bazooka was found on a Queens pier, a paper Cuban flag pasted on it. The shell was lobbed about 850 yards before it fell into the water about 100 yards from the Manhattan shore and the UN building. The blast sent up a 15-foot geyser witnessed by some UN observers in the building and by boatmen on the river. The General Assembly ses- sion, which Guevara had been addressing at the time, went on undisturbed by the muffled roar outside. At 12:10 p.m., the four-foot- long bazooka -- which fires an 18-inch-long rocket containing high explosives--sent its mis- sile whistling across the river. It was the second time an explosive device had been di- rected at the United Nations. July 22, 1948, a light plane dropped a home - made bomb on UN headquarters, then at Lake Success, Long Island, but it exploded harmlessly about 100 feet above the structure. WOMAN IDENTIFIED Almost simultaneous with the bazooka firing, a woman later identified as Gladys Perez, 27, of Jersey City, N.J., a Cuban native, sprinted toward the building, knife in hand. Two policemen overpowered lher after a struggle. She said her intention had been to kill Guevara. She was dragged }screaming to a police car. ravi PHOTO DIAGRAM LOCATES AREA it is more difficult to obtain) 1, Miami, a Cuban exile| She was charged with as- HOME-MADE MORTA TIED DOWN ON BO WEATHER FORECAST Cooler Sunday Light Rain Due TORONTO (CP) -- Forecasts issued by the weather office at 6:30 a.m. Synopsis: Sunday's weather will see colder air invading northern regions with some snow associated.

The criminal may be discour- aged from using weapons, for example, by reducing aggres- siveness in law enforcement, altering patterns of sentencing in the courts and making sure systems of punishment and cor- rection work, the experts sug- gested. Law professor Norval Morris, an Australian expert in crime prevention and treatment now at the University of Chicago law school, and Thomas S. Lodge, director of criminology research for the British govern- ment, both stressed the need for more studies to increase knowledge of crime and to make the treatment of crim- inals more effective. Here for a seminar at the University of Toronto's centre of criminology, Dr. Morris and Mr, Lodge were guests at a luncheon held by Allan Gross- man, Ontario minister of re- | form institutions, In an interview, the visiting experts noted that crimes of violence are much less prev-| jalent in England than in North} America and said. this results| partly from less aggression in the English society.

'A case may soon develop where an accusation of toeing France's foreign policy line thay be made against the Cana- dian government. The matter arises out of Brit- ain's proposals for a new or modified NATO nuclear com- mand now being discussed in alliance capitals. British Prime Minister Wilson talked over his proposals with Prime Minister Pearson in Ot- tawa Wednesday. At the same time, British Foreign Secretary Patrick Gordon Walker went over the same ground with Ex- ternal Affairs Minister Martin. CANADA OPEN-MINDED Mr. Pearson in a brief. talk with reporters after his meeting with Mr. Wilson didn't rule out Canadian Participation in a re- vised NATO nuclear force. This was a contrast to Can- ada's quick opting out last year from the U.S.-proposed NATO nuclear-missile fleet of 25 sur- face ships. France has: been hostile to the American plan. The U.S. proposal is aimed at giving its European allies some degree of control over the use a publicly recognized NATO's con- tinuing reliance on American nu- clear striking power as a deter- = rent to war. Canada has also criticized France's current creation of an) independent, national nuclear) force . | But it has added that NATO fF without France is unthinkable © and that any policy which would | | tend to alienate France from the|~ alliance is a bad policy. Mr. Martin told Mr. Gordon Walker that any nuclear ar- rangements must unite and not divide NATO.

Peepholes Stay Says Spokesman OTTAWA (CP) -- The postal department has no plans for eliminating the 'observation stations' that allow postal in- spectors to look into men's washrooms in large Canadian post offices, a spokesman said Friday. He was commenting on an order issued in Washington Fri- day by U.S. Postmaster - Gen- eral. John Gronouski to rip "| or block up these peepholes in|" American post offices.
