Cuba's Castro In New York The man who led the revolt against the Batista regime arrives in New York's Penn Station and is greeted by some 20,000 cheering Spanish-speaking worshippers. He is very touched by the demonstration. Fidel Castro gives New York's 'finest' a real work out. Real tough assignment for the New York policemen - guarding the controversial Castro - whose secret formula for charm seems to be maximum courtesy, minimum information. Crowd waves flags (Cuban?). Castro amid people, microphones near his face. Police wrestle a man in crowd, take him away (without much struggle). Castro waves and flashbulbs pop.
