Following Cuban Premier Castro's ending of the 'emergency', and the demobilisation of militia recruited to oppose the expected 'invasion' by American forces, troops were busy Jan. 21 removing guns from the roofs of hotels and villas along Havana's seafront.
400,000 Cubans rushed to join the militia after Premier Castro Jan. 1 announced an imminent invasion of American forces, sponsored by outgoing President Eisenhower.
