Hearing Continues Into Havana Trip UNC Student Castro Guest WASHINGTON (UPT) _ A part time television actress refused today to tell a congressional committee whether she paid her own way on an unauthorised trip to Cuba. Vvonne Bond, one of 84 young Americans who traveled to Cuba this summer, invoked the 1st, 5th’ and 14th amendments to the Con stitution in an appearance before S subcommittee of the House Committee on Un-American Activi ties. Larry Phelps of the University of North Carolina was among the group who defied orders of the U. S. government to make the $lp. Phelps returned, and in ad dressing students at UNC, had high praises for Castro. Earlier, Phelps pleaded the Fifth Amendment be-1 l fore the committee. Mies Bond, 23, was one of four witnesses subpoenaed by the com mittee who either arranged the trip or were in the travel group. During the first two hours - plus of the hearing, there was no hint of a repetition of violence that mar ked a similtar investigation last year. Miss Bond identified herself as the daughter of a 30-year-old Mar ine veteran and said she was school ed all over the United States. She gave 5225 Miles Ave., Oak land, Calif., as her present address.I She was preceded' to the stand by two travel s gents who gave details on the arrangements made last 1 spring by those organizing the visit to Cuba where the Americans were guests of the Fidel Castro regime One of the agents said Miss Bone came to his New York office am maae a deposit with 47 “brand new' (10G bills. Dozens of city police bolstered tfu Cr.pitol police force in imposing tight security on the third flooi of the old House Office Building ir the Caucus Room area. Itep. Edwin E. Willis, D-La.> chair, man of the full Committee on Un American Activities, was also pres ent. He warned the four subpoenaed witnesses and those of their friends and sympathizers who had over flowed the available seats that strict order would be maintained in the hearing. Mayor tut acknowledged, “It will cost a little more, but not that much. But any extra cost will be more than Worth It." HARDY MOVES FOR VOTj! Godwin r econded Commissioner Howard Hardy’s motion to call a Vote on .he issue, but amended a to provide that the ballot show a Comparison of the costs. Hardy said he prjferred a vote because the issue was “too important for two or three of us to take the cre dit or blame for it.” Commissioner Sallye White- ! head disclosed she had already secured mo 'e than 450 names on j a petition to require a vote of the | people. Mayor Blalock and City j Attorney Max McLeod agreed a petition was not necessary for the 1 board to order a vote. In his written statement today, Blalock declared flatly: “There will never be any lew - hospital regardless of who is ! mayor or who is on the council j as long as the hospital board of trustees requests that the city g. - j vemment forfeit all its rights and j supervision of the hospital, “ex cept when they need money.” He said the people who pay the taxes have a right through the»r duly-elected city officials to nave a voice in operation of the nos pttaL Blalock said he would ask the county board to call an election for Issuance of at least a million and a half dollars, which would be augmented by Federal funds suf ficiently to establish a real medi cal center large enough, modern j enough, and adequate enough t„ serve the people of the area and 1 the county. The proposed Dunn hospital would provide only 30 beds more than Betsy Johnson at a cost of $2,070,000 and the present plant va lued at about a million dollars Would be abandoned. * Blalock said the new hospital would be Inadequate and too small even before completed. NO MENTION OF BETSY JOHNSON Apparently, no plans for Betsy! Johnson are included in the may-1 or’s proposal for a county hospi-: tal as that was not mentioned in his statement. It was indicated the mftyor would favor letting the hos pital board do as it pleases about continuing its operation. He said that if doctors can agree on a site and the county bond! election can be carried, the cost to the individual Dunn taxpayer would be far less than the cost of the proposed new hospital already •voted on Blalock told the crowd there is no possibility of securing Medical Care approval of the proposed hos pital by the Sept. 18 deadline for this year’s appropriation. "But a year’s delay is much pre ferably to a mistake of such mag nitude,” he said. He blamed the delay on failure of the hospital board to come up with a proposal earlier. He said Tilghman had asked in July for a two-weeks delay “and it has been 27 days up to tonight.” BlalCck said the proposal to give the hospital board full and final authority was contrary to the plan of operation of any other govern ment-operated hospital he knew of. Declaring that his honor and in tegrity had been impugned by various statements, Blalock said he was reviewing the hospital issue from the beginning so the people could see who was right and wrong. “If I have misrepresented the facts in any way" he said, “then I do not deserve the mantle of this office.” The mayor reminded that the j town hadn’t nsked to take over the hospital, now a private in stitution, but that “They came to us ” . He also pointed out he was the only member of the council who' made speeches and came out pub- ; liclv in favor of a new hospital. Blalock said he first plan was; to enlarge the present hospital with town aid but that plan was reiected by Medical Care. In the first place he said, the hospital board had told the city Medical Care was ready to ap prove plans but that 60 days later officials found out Medical Care hadn’t even been contacted by the hospital board and knew nothing of plans. In. He recalled that when the hos pital resolution was first present ed. he refused to approve it be cause city officials were not given sunorvisory authority. "Because I refused to do that.” said Blalock, ‘‘I was threatened with defeat hv a member of the hosoital board and told they would wait until cot out of office to put it through.” “All I was doing.” he said, ‘‘was trying to protect the taxpayers-” “They tried to ram it down our throats: all I was doing was ask ing for time.” He said the long amended rf solution was riven the council three hours before a meeting, giv ing the city attorney no time to stiidv it. “Because the board refused to sign it without reading it instant ly.” he said, “the hospital board then withdrew its offer. I consider that the most dastardly act ever committed bv a group of respect able people in the Town of Dunn.” He said it was approved later in the n>ght with one or two tiny chances. He denied a charge he had a mended a doctors’ resolution, said it was impossible because he was out of State and hadn’t ever seen it. He Introduced a letter from Dr. Ralph Johnson verifying this fact. Blalock said the board had been given Ian ultimatum it couldn't News Roundup WASHINGTON (UPI1 — Luei Baines Johnson will fly to |iew Orleans Saturday for a weekend trip that will include a ship launching, a shrimp festival and a pro football game.
