Britain Scored in Cuba
Rebels Ask Boycott of Goods--Projected Jet Sale Cited

Special to The New York Times.

HAVANA, Oct. 11--The underground rebel movement in Havana has called for a boycott of all British products.  The rebels complained of what was described as the projected sale of jet planes by Britain to President Fulgencio Batista's Government for use in bombing the rebels.

Clandestine publications asked the Cuban people not to buy manufactured products from Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Jamaica, not to see British films and not to patronize British insurance companies.

The visit of the British antisubmarine frigate Troubridge to Havana, scheduled for Oct. 16 to 22, has been canceled.
