VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) Rumblings beneath Mount St. Helens diminished Saturday, a day after the volcano's first steam and ash eruption of 1981, but scientists warned the mountain could blow again at any time. "There's been a decline in activity," said Susan RussellRobinson, a U.S.
Geological Survey geologist here. "But we still have an eruption alert. We're still cautioning that more eruptive activity may occur." The eruption Friday, in which a plume of steam and ash blasted to 15,500 feet about sea level, was the sixth ash eruption since the volcano blew its top last May 18, leaving 61 people dead or missing. On Saturday, seismographs recorded about one small earthquake an hour beneath the volcano, compared to about eight quakes an hour for much of Friday. And the National Weather Service canceled a flash flood watch, saying there was "little indication of any increased volcanic activity." Heavy clouds prevented scientists from getting a look at the volcano.
They believe the eruption may have signaled that a lava dome is once again building in the crater. "At this point, it's critical to see the crater area so we can assess what is happening," Ms. RussellRobinson said. Arnold Grawe (right), a trader visitor to his booth an article Fur Takers Spring Rendezvous Land Between The Lakes Saturday. 20 years United with Bay By DAN SEWELL Associated Press Writer MIAMI (AP) At the last minute, President John F.
Kennedy canceled promised air cover and the exile's landing craft were sitting ducks. The Cuban air force sank three of their ships. Thick reefs along the ill beaches tore out the bottoms of landing craft that escaped the Cuban fighters. And once they landed, the attackers had to slog through miles of swampland. Hundreds of trained reinforcements awaiting orders at secret bases in Guatemala, Florida and Louisiana were never called.
And ammunition dropped to the exile volunteers fighting on one beach was for Springfield rifles. They were carrying M-1s. It happened 20 years ago this week: The Bay of Pigs invasion, one of the most humiliating adventures in American history. Cuban President Fidel Castro, whose young communist regime was the target of the ill-fated, CIAsponsored mission, calls it "my first victory over Yankee Walt Rostow, then a top White House aide and now a University of Texas professor, calls it the "most screwed-up operation there has ever been." Some 114 exiled Cuban volunteers, and several members of the Alabama National Guard, died. Another 1,189 were taken prisoner and held in Cuban prisons for 22 months until the United States agreed to ransom them for $53 million in food and medicine.
There will be joyous marches and street fiestas in Cuba to commemorate the U.S. debacle that consolidated Castro's rule in the Caribbean island nation after a 1959 revolution. And in Miami, thousands of Cuban exiles whose numbers grow each time Castro opens the human floodgates across the Florida Straits will gather in Little Havana at the ransomed Bay of Pigs veterans to monument to Brigade 2506 a the recall the bitter setback and what it meant to their homeland. Manuel "Tony" de Varona, a former Cuban vice president who now heads an exile confederation known as the Cuban Patriotic Junta, was one of the volunteers who waited in vain for orders to move on Cuba. "This anniversary reminds me that Cuba could have been liberated and guerrilla activity throughout Latin America could have been avoided," he said.
"The people of Cuba could have had progress, peace and stability." Instead of turning on the bearded 7 dictator in military fatigues as CIA and Kennedy administration planners had hoped, Cubans hailed the victorious leader of the "people's revolution" after the Bay of Pigs victory. His international influence grew, particularly in Latin America, and he drew closer to the Soviet Union. That relationship led to increased Soviet military aid, including the missiles that led to the Cuban Missile Crisis of October 1962. Castro strengthened internal security with secret police and neighborhood vigilantes, all but wiping out public dissent. Thousands who opposed him were rounded up when the invasion began.

After the missile crisis, the United States offered assurance that it would no longer try to invade Cuba, and the CIA, whose plans to overthrow Castro began in the Eisenhower administration, stopped supporting exile groups. The exiles launched dozens of small commando raids in the 1960s, but as the Cuban army and navy grew stronger with Soviet assistance, the "mosquito raids" were discontinued, with the last confirmed in 1970. Nevertheless, exile groups still flourish. "We want to maintain the spirit.
We talk about Castro and said Brigade: 2506 President PerezFranco. Some brigade members train on weekends with the Freedom Fighters, a loosely organized group that claims a membership of about 600 and practices small-arms fire and maneuvers at a camp in the Everglades. Their activities have been disavowed by the U.S. government. They say they are waiting for the Cuban revolution to begin.
Recently, seven members of the anti-Castro organization Alpha 66 were arrested on federal firearms charges as they prepared to leave the Florida Keys for a commando raid on Cuba. The group claims to have infiltrated guerrillas in Cuba during the past year. experience recalled Perez-Franco, now 52, says he would leave for another invasion of Cuba "tomorrow." "It is impossible to think now of another Bay of Pigs invasion. Fidel is very, very strong. But the people in Cuba are starting to wake up.
I'm sure the Castro army doesn't want to fight the people in Cuba; their brothers and sisters. "Maybe," he says with hope, "Reagan will be more Afredo Duran, now a Miami attorney, is the son of a wealthy Cuban landowner who fled during Castro's revolution to overthrow dictator Fulgencio Batista. He put aside his pacifist philosophy to enlist in the CIA's secret Cuban exile brigade and surrendered on the third day of the invasion after: running out of ammunition. Atlanta fugitive is arrested here Sherman Gregory Bruster, also known as Quayyim Rahaim Shabazz, was arrested Friday by Paducah police on charges of receiving stolen property and possession of a narcotic, a police spokesman said.
