From Politics
WASHINGTON i.l* — Robert Ken-
nedy, brother of the President-
elect, said today he will detach

"I am in the midst now of de-!
taehing myself from the political

simple task.
Since 1952 Kennedy has managed
the political campaigns that car-
ried his brother. John Kennedy. I

the presidency. Thev have formed I
a close team on political matters.1

An? attorney general's actions
arc subject to scrutiny for pos-j
siblc political motives. Boflt want '
Robert Kennedy to achieve a rec-
oil! that can stand impartial ex-
amination. Never before has a
President appointed a.brother to a
cabinet post.
Kennedy refused to discuss in
advance any of the policies he
i on templates as Justice Depart-
ment head, lie said he was famil-
iarizing himself with the duties oi
an attorney general.
His nomination to the post re-
quites Senate confirmation alter

dent.
Political tasks are being put be-
hind him a,s last as he can ar-
i range it. he said. But he at'.led:
• ou cant be thc camuaign I
manager of Senator Kennedv to-;
day, and be out of politics tomor-
row. It takes a bit of time." j
He has foutul there are political
problems still to be settled, and
no one else has ail the informa-
tion about them. These lie must
handle himself, or turn over to I
others after giving them a fill-in:
on the background. Patronage I
Problems would be among these.
Three of his former aides ou the

II.W ANA .1'' — 'I lie Cuban cabi-
net made a thinly veiled bid today
lor a change in U. S. policy toward
(• iilel Castro's regime under the
incoming Kennedy administration.
I here was no indication o| any
change in Castro's policy toward
Ihc United States however.
A statement issued alter a Ion ;
ni'.dit cabinet session in Havana put
the entire blanie for the l. s
break in diplomatic relations v illi
t uba on the Eisenhower admin-
istration. The outgoing U. s. ad-
ministiation also was accused of
"threatening with other laggrc;-
sionsi worse and much more ser-
ious. ^ an obvious rclurence to
( uba s charges thai American in-
vasion is imminent.
The statement expressed the hop-;
Inat relations would lie re-establish-
ed "some day, when the governors
of thc United States finally undor-
•'■tiind that it is possible to main-
tain sincere and Iriendly relations
uiih the people ol Cuba on the
basis oi respect for their sovereign
rights. Their legitimate interests
and their national dignity."
The statement made no speeili"
mention of President-elect Ken-
nedy, but the government radio-'l V"
network throughout yesterday had
emphasized that Kennedv did not
participate in the decision lo brea'v
relations. The cabinet statement
also complained that Eisenhower
had broken relations with less
than three weeks remaining ol his
term in office.
Kennedy during the presidential
campaign criticized the Cash,, Re-
gime harshly, and the Cuban Prime
Minister in turn called the Demo-
cratic candidate an "ignorant, illi-
terate. beardless kid."
But in a speech November 28; It
Castro indicated he hoped im-
mure sympathy from Kennedy,
saving "we shall see what the new
administration replacing Eiscnhov -
, er's docs. Kennedy made much
I deniagogucry iin the campaign i
Bui it's one thing with a guitar
and another with a violin."
There had been uncontirmcd re-
ports that cabinet would also dis-
cuss the U. S. Naval base at Guan-
tanamo. but the statement math-
no mention of il. The Unit' U States
has declared it will hold and di--
leml the base despite the diploma-
tic break, and Castro has said se-
veral times lie would get the ba. e
aw a v from the United States by-
legal means, not by force. The
United States holds the base under
a treaty it contends can be scrap-
ped only
