Castro's Triumphant March In Cuba Havana cheers provisional President Urrutia, while rebel leader Fidel Castro completed his triumphant march across the island - jubilantly hailed in every town and hamlet. The bearded, cigar-smoking Castro has become a living legend in the role of hero. Enthusiastic throngs rush to see and viva the man who overthrew the Batista dictatorship. Street scenes, guerrillas with weapons. Men and women sitting on a tank wave to camera. Urrutia (?) speaking at microphones. Crowds applaud, cheer, wave as Castro travels by. Castro speaks and gestures.
