Panama Invaders Insist
On Complete Amnesty

PANAMA, April 20 (AP).-A
band of Cuban invaders of Pa
mama today said they would
surrender only if assured they
would be returned Immediately
to Cuba and would not be
punished.
President Ernesto de la Guar
dia's government showed no
inclination to promise more
than its earlier assurance that
the members of the revolution
airy band would not be killed.
A government spokesman said
authorities viewed the sur
render mission as a failure so
far.
The government was count
ing on help and advice from a
five-member inspection team of
the Organization of American
States, who arrived from Wash
ington today. They went into
conference after Foreign Min
lister Miguel Moreno, jr.. met
them at the airport.
The invaders surrender
terms were relayed to the gov
eminent by one Of two bearded
Cuban officers sent to Panama
by Fidel Castro's regime to seek
the surrender Of the. invasion
force. which embarked from
Cuba last week.
Next Stop Uncertain
Carrying a Cuban flag. they
contacted the hired invaders
in the little town of Nombre
de Dios, so miles north of the
capital on the Caribbean
coast. They had halted there
Monday after advancing ,35
miles along the coast from the
beach on which they landed
early Saturday.
One of Premier Castro's
mediators, Capt. Armando Tor
res, hurried back to the capital
last night, bringing with him
a member of the foreign in
vading force. They went di-
rectly to the Cuban Embassy.
Keeping a line open with
the 70 other invaders. Capt.
Torres colleague, 1t. Fernando
Ruiz, remained at their camp
in Nombre de Dios.
There was no immediate in
dication of what Capt. Torres
next step would be.
President de la Guardia said
last night that two more in
vasion ships carrying up to
300 men were reported on their
way to Panama from Cuba.
Defenders DepIOyed
Panama's minister Of gov
eminent, Jose Bazan, said the

tors had chance to try to

eve are in condition to re-
pei the invasion" President de
la Guardia said, "but we feel a
fight with the invaders would
leave a toll of destruction ard
death, so the quicker it is re-
pressed the better"
Mr.. Bazan told the National
Assembly the majority of the
revolutionists are civilians with
police records in Cuba and the
United States" He said they
were paid 200 to 1000 Cuban
pesos $500 to $4,000 and given
"all sorts Of promises upon tri-
lraphing." Only a.few, he said,
were members Of the Cuban
revolutionary army.
Arias Blamed
Mr.. Bazan identified their
chief as Cesar Vega. a former
night club owner. The de la
Guardia government has
charged that the leader behind
the revolution is Roberto Arias,
former Panamanian diplomat
who has taken refuge in the
Brazilian Embassy and seeks
safe conduct to Brazil.
Cuba's revolutionary Prime
Minister, Fidel Castro, furiously
condemned his ! ceuntrymen's
interference in Panarnanian af-
fairs. In a news conference
broadcast to Cuba from a plane
flying him to Buenos Aires for
an inter- american conference,
he said the invasion by Cubans
is embarrassing and inoppor-
tune 1t is onerous fer us,
a negation of our policies .
It puts us in a disagreeable
situation. 1t has no justifica-

Air Force HuIts
Search for Lost
Satellite Capsule

VANDENBERG AIR FORCE
BASE, Calf, Nov. %, (AP).-
The Air Force last night ter
minated the search for the mis-
sing capsule Of the Discoverer
VIII satellite. What happened
to it is still a mystery.
1t separated from the orbit
ing rocket over Hawaiian waters
Saturday and dropped toward
the ocean. Air Force planes
had hoped to snare it as it
parachuted down, but the chute
may not have opened.
The planes missed it, and so
did a search vesSel-although
both planes and the ship re-
ceived radio signals from the
capsules transmitter.
The recovery project is de-
scribed as an important step
in learning how to send a man
into space in a satellite-and
then bring him back safely to
earth. Four previous recovery
tries also failed.
The Discoverer VIII rocket
will orbit perhaps two mora
months, spokesmen said. 1t was
launched here Friday.
