release OF prisoners taken IN
the recent abortive Cuban in
vasion, cabled the Cuban Pre-
mier last night inviting action
on his May II offer and saying
it was ready to cooperate.
The group expressed trust
that Premier Castro would ac-
cept its offer to furnish the
tractors. At the same time, 1t
said the free world would in
terpret a failure to respond
affirmatively" as a retraction
by the Premier of his own offer.
Signing the cable were Mrs.
Eleanor Roosevelt, honorary
chairman of the committee
Dr.. Milton Eisenhower, presi-
dent Of Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity; Walter P. Reuther, presi-
dent Of the United Auto Work
ers Union, and Detroit banker

treasurer.
The committee told Premier
Castro it could not proceed
further now without his con-
firmation.
Tractor Types Described
The cable to the Cuban lead
er also described the types of
tractors to be exchanged for
the prisoners.
The total would include 450
seneral-purpose farm tractors
with discs. plows and harrowS
and so heavy-duty tractors
with tank-type tracks and
weighing from 41a to 9 tons.
The heavy-type tractors were
offered 'in recognition that
Cuba needs to clear new land
and get such new land into
agricultural production"
The committee said it under
stood that for every 100 trac-
tors delivered, Premier Castro
would release 100 prisoners.
The cable did not say, but
presumably the remainder OF
the prisoners would be released
with delivery Of the 500th trac-
tor.

the cable. Since we have wait
ed nearly two weeks for some

ing this official confirmation

posal which you made May

Next Step Unstated
The group did not say what
its next step would be If Pre-
mier Castro fails to meet what
apparently is it's deadline.
We sincerely trust" the
cable continued, that you will
accept our proposal in the
spirit in which 1t was offered.
The people Of the United
States, the people Of Latin
America, and, indeed, the peo-
pie of the whole free world
could only interpret your fail
ure to respond affirmatively to
our proposal as q retraction Of
the offer that you made on

perts made recommendations

Said the cable:
I'VE are prepared to ship
100 tractors to Cuba within
two weeks following your ac-
ceptance of our proposal. We
are prepared to ship additional
consignments Of tractors in lots
of 100 until the total of 500
have been delivered. 1t is un-
derstood that. simultaneously
with the delivery Of each con-
signment of 100 tractors, the
Cuban Government will re-
lease one-fifth of the pris-
oners."
Premier Castro also was
asked to provide a list of the
names of the prisoners he is
prepared to release.

"You may have noticed the
reflective tops on the fire hy-
drants. This has been done by
the firemen to save precious
seconds at night when hydrants
are hard to locate in the dark
ness and every moment may
mean the control or loss of a
fire and possible loss Of life,"
Lange said.
On the recent inspections he
asserted:
"Our results during the Fire
Prevention Business and Home
Inspection program were quite
gratifying. Of the 2,164 prem
ises inspected by your Fire De-
partment, only 81 places were
found in violation. This is a
good record and indicates that
our citizens recognize the haz-
ards Of fire and cooperate in a
fine manner to eliminate them"

JOHN J. EWERS

I believe that the residents o1
East Cleveland have been toe
complacent about their city COM
mission. Let's look at the facts
In 1858, the voters passed q
sewer bond issue in the amount
of S555 900 for the correction
of flooded Easements.
Three years ago the PTA cited
the obvious need for season
passes for the swimming poo
and skating rink, but it was not
until August of this year that
the commission finally enacted
this plan.
For years, this city has fallen
behind in off-street parking, but
the commission did nothing until
it was finally placed on the ballot
for this election.
In fact, nothing was done
about these problems until after
and / repeat, after our slate of
Ewers- S c ho | Stevenson an
nounced the solution to these
problems as part of our plat
form.
The slate of Ewers-Scholl-
Stevenson pledges the following
Diligent attention to the correc.
ton of the above mentioned
problems; an anti-blockbusting
ordinance; improved, neater gar
bage and rubbish collection; sub
stantial reduction of last years
deficit of over $4,000 at the pool
and rink; and enactment Of other
plans for the improvement Of

Chief Apologies

apologies for any inconveni-
ence caused by the fall hydrant
inspection. 1t is necessary that
the Fire Department make
semi-annual inspections of all
768 hydrants in the City. This
is to maintain a fire rating
with the State Inspection
Bureau which regulates the in
surance rates of the City.
Failure of the Fire Depart
ment to do this would quite
likely result in increased in
surance rates and also the pos
sibility of hydrants being out
of order when critically needed
in case of fire." Chief Lange
stated.
We are unable TO figure out
any way to accomplish this test
without creating the nuisance
of rusty water" he added.

Parking Lot Levy
Must Be Approved
AN EDITORIAL

East Cleveand's only local levy that will
appear on the ballot next Tuesday is an off-street
parking issue totaling 100000.
The Leader urges voters to approve this levy
as it is step in relieving one of the most acute
problems in the community.
AS the city celebrates it's 50th anniversary
the progress made in the half century has been
duly acknowledged. To continue it's prosperity,
East Cleveland must be in a position to invite
more commercial enterprises to settle here par
ticularly on Hayden ave.
The invitation can only be extended if ade-
quate facilities are provided, not the least of
these being ample parking space.
The proposed levy will provide the city's por-
tion of off-street parking where needed for the
older apartment, business and industrial develop
ments.
The proceeds of this 100000 bond issue. if
approved by the voters, would be used in the
following manner, which is patterned basically
after procedures being considered used in
other cities:
Owners Pay Twothirds
In any retail or other area where off-street
parking is needed and the property owners would
sign an agreement to pay two-thirds of the cost,
and the city would pay the remaining cost out of
the proceeds of the proposed 100000 bond issue.
However, plans first must be prepared that
are acceptable to both property owners and the
City, including plans for maintenance, upkeep and
operation of the lot.
These plans, in probably all instances, will ne
cessitate the purchase and clearing for the park
ing lot of nearby houses and other buildings and
for the construction and lighting of the parking
lot itself.
East Cleveland residents have shown certain
amount of loyalty and pride in their community
as apparent by the success of the golden ami
versary celebration.
They can continue this loyalty and show of
pride in the community by voting for the city
off-street parking levy next Tuesday.

THOMAS ID. STEVENSON

Members Of the present COM

tion. Check just one Of the cIty's

enson believes that these prob
lens are too widespread to be
solved except with the help Of
an energetic city commission.
These problems lead directly
into the incumbents' other claim
Of low taxes. In the decade of
1850 to 1860, East Cleveland
population shrank see despite
Of low taxes. The slate Of Ewers-
holl-Stevenson is of the firm
belief that, unless an effective
plan is formulated to solve the
problems of our business areas,
the owners thereof will newt
ably demand and receive tax re-
ductions which will in turn re-
quire an increase IN residential
taxes.
The time to act Is now, and the
candidates to vote for are those
who have program for action,
not those who for years have
had no program but words.

AS a school teacher, woman,
as well as a citizen, / am vitally
interested in people, especially
children, and feel we must not
only educate our youngsters IN
crossing streets safely, but we
must also erect pedestrian traffic
lights at all busy intersections.
The need for this was brought
home sharply by the recent ac-
cident to a child near Shaw.
Another thing | am vitally
interested in is an East Cleve-

order TO make it attractive,
neighborhood eyesores and local
air pollution must be removed,
a matter that has been neglected
for years.
/ The incumbents tell the voters
not to gamble with good govern

problems good government? Is
neglect Of sewers, off-street

deficit Of over $4,000 at the pool

it does take management with
