Doctor strike
ends elective
LOS ANGELES (UPI) - The
growing strength of a doctor’s
strike has ended almost all
elective surgery in the nation’s
second largest city.
Although public health offi
cials continued to cope with the
burden short of the emergency
level, the impact of the strike
by private physicians protesting
the cost of malpractice insur
ance steadily increased as the
walkout went into its seventh
day.
The closure of doctor’s offices
and drastic cutbacks in staff at
private hospitals threw a
mounting patient load onto
public hospitals.
“Things have just gone
bananas,” said Dr. Marshal

Rockwell, medical director of
the public Santa Monica Hospi
tal Center, where the emergen
cy room patient load had
almost doubled.
The Hospital Council of
Southern California said the
strike effects had spread to 91
of the county’s 234 private
hospitals, representing an in
crease of 20 hospitals over the
previous day.
County health authorities told
the Board of Supervisors
Tuesday that with 3,455 patients
in county hospitals — an
increase of 305 since the strike
began New Year’s Day — there
were only 315 beds left.
Administrators soon will have
to discharge the less seriously
ill to make room for incoming
patients with graver illnesses,
said health services director
Liston Witherill.
He said all elective surgery
— operations that can be
postponed without endangering
the patient — had been
canceled at all public hospitals.
Private hospitals already had
eliminated most elective surg
ery because of the strike.

Life magazine,
CIA linked
to Cuba raid
SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) - A
raiding party supported by the
CIA and financed by Life
magazine was shuttled to Cuba
in 1963 in an attempt to prove
the island still contained hidden
Russian missiles, City Maga
zine reported today.
In a copyrighted article,
writers Warren Hinckle and
William Turner said William
Pawley, former ambassador to
Brazil and Peru, piloted the
yacht for the luckless expedi
tion.
Led by Eddie Bayo, a Cuban
exile who defected to the CIA, a
group of commandoes landed
off the southeast coast of Cuba
June 8, 1963, never to be heard
from again, the article said.
The writers said the mission
was carried out without the
knowledge of President John
Kennedy. Its purpose, they
said, was to return to the
United States with two Russian
missile technicians who report
edly wanted to defect but
needed help in escaping.
Hinckle, editor of City Maga
zine and former editor of
Ramparts, said he and William
Turner, a former FBI agent,
substantiated the accuracy of
the expedition during a two
year investigation of the ClA’s
secret war against Cuba during
the 19605.
Pawley and Billings, said
Hinckle, admitted the event
occurred but refused to disclose
details.
No cash was provided by the
CIA, but Life magazine put up
$15,000 for the expedition and in
return was to publish exclusive
pictures of the defecting Rus
sian technicians and their
stories, the authors said.
The article said Pawley, Life
Magazine executive Richard
Billings, Mafioso figure John
Award
Martino, the regular crew and
several CIA agents were
aboard the yacht, Flying Tiger
11.
The yacht was named after
the volunteer aviators whom
Pawley helped organize in
China with Claire Chennault in
1940, the story said.
It said the yacht later
rendezvoused with the com
mandoes in a small maze of
islands off the north coast of
Nantanzas Province, a maneuv
er which called for the help of
a disguised CIA raiding boat in
the area.
The writers said their infor
mation was obtained from
former CIA contract employes
and soldiers of fortune who
knew the men in the raiding
party.
Kidnap
offer made
PARIS (UPI) - The abduc
tors of record tycoon Louis
Hazan offered today to trade
their hostage for the release of
two fellow kidnapers captured
earlier by police.
Shortly after the offer was
made, police said they had
arrested a third member of the
blue-jeaned kidnaping gang.
The offer was made in a
telephone call to Hazan’s firm
Phonogram, the European divi
sion of Philips records, police
said.
Police sources indicated they
would not agree to the youthful
kidnapers’ offer to swap the
two suspects for Hazan.
A police spokesman said
officers had “formally identi
fied the two men” arrested
when they attempted to pick up
the $3.5 million ransom Tues
day night.
