Vast Throng Hails Fidel Castro Scores of thousands massed outside Havana's presidential palace, roaring their approval - as the Cuban rebel leader asks if they favor executions of Batista supporters, accused of war atrocities. Vast, huge crowd with banners. Fidel Castro speaking into microphone, gesturing in typical fashion. Crowd applauding.
