indemnification if the captured
invaders were exchanged on a
man-for-man basis for "politi-
cal prisoners" in the United
States, Puerto Rico, Guatemala,
Nicaragua and Spain.
The committee had asked
Mr.. Castro for a list of prison
ers who would be subject to
the exchange. The original
number was 1,214 but the
Castro list included only LIST.
Today the radio quoted Mr.,
Castro as saying the 1,167 were
the only ones of the group who
were innocent of crimes
against the Cuban people.
He was further quoted as
saying he had accepted the in
tervention of the Tractors for
Freedom Committee because
he considered the committee
to be decent and serious
since Mrs. Franklin D. Roose-
velt was a member of the
group.
The committee had offered
500 light, farm-type tractors
that would cost an estimated
$2.5 to So million with plow
attachments.
It said in its ultimatum it
had no intention of swapping
heavy-duty tractors that could
be converted to military uses.
The Tractors for Freedom
Committee, before today's Ha-
vana broadcast, already had Or
dered aides, barring a Castro
acceptance, to return unopened
more than $4,000 pieces of mail
that had piled up in P. o. Box
Freedom in Detroit.
The committee was organ
lied, with White House ap-
proval, by Mrs. Roosevelt, DR..
Milton Eisenhower and Walter
P. Reuther.

9th Atlas
Fails, AF
Seeks Cause

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla,
June % (AP).-The Air Force,
deeply concerned about the
seventh failure in 10 launch
ings of an advanced Atlas mis-
sile, today sought the cause OF
the latest fizzle of the longer
range weapon.
An 85-foot Atlas "E" model
exploded several thousand feet
over the Atlantic Ocean last
night, 95 seconds after it was
launched on an intended 1900
mile test. Blazing chunks OF
the shattered rocket spilled
into the water several miles
offshore.
Ans announcement said, "An
internal malfunction destroyed
the missile" and that telem-
etry, radar and visual data
were being studied to deter
mine the cause.
If successful, the flight would
have been the longest recorded
by the improved Atlas, topping
the previous mark of 1000
miles. Two attempts at 5000
miles were among the seven
failures.
The present operational Atlas
D has a nominal range OF
$500 miles. The new series is
designed to carry a heavier
payload to targets up to 10000
miles away.
The Atlas E is powered by
three huge engines with total
thrust Of 100000 pounds. This
is 10000 pounds greater than
the thrust of the D missile, at
present the United States most
powerful combat-ready missile.
A D Atlas has been assigned
to boost the first American
astronaut into orbit, hopefully
by the end of this year.

Custro's Mother
Report Denied

MEXICO CITY, June %
(R). Sources close to the
Cuban Embassy last night de-
MED a published report that
Fidel Castro's mother had quit
Cuba in protest against her
sons regime and planned to
live in Mexico.
The 66-year-old widow, Mrs.
Alma Rux de Castro, arrived
in Mexica City Monday to visit
her daughter Ema, who is mar
ried to a Mexican engineer and
lives in Mexico City.
The Cuban Embassy sources
insisted Mrs. Castro came to
Mexico only to be with her
daughter when she gives birth
to her first child, expected in
the next few days. The sources
said Cuban Ambassador Jose
Antonio Portuondo and his
wife spent yesterday afternoon
with the Prime Minister'S
mother.
Mrs. Castro was accompanied
to Mexico by her granddaughter
Dulce, daughter of Fidel's
older brother Ramon.
Ramon stayed out of politics
and operated the family's
plantations totaling some 35,-
900 acres while Fidel and the
youngest brother, Raul, were
leading the fight against Die
tator Fulgencio Batista.
Ramon and his mother were
reported deeply angered when
nearly all of their land hold
ings were taken by Fidel's gov
ernment under the revolution

Geneva Talks
Wait on King

GENEVA, June % (AP).-
The East-West conference on
Laos appeared destined today
to dawdle along doing little
until King Savang Vathana
picks a new government for
the strife-torn nation.
The prevailing view is that
Prince Souvanna Phouma, self
styled neutralist backed by the
Communists, is sure to be
named premier. But unless the
normal pace of developments
in Laos is accelerated, that
won't happen for weeks.
The job of forming a new
cabinet was thrown to the La
otian King yesterday by the
three princes who head the
warning factions in the little
southeast Asian country.
Statement Vague
They ended a four-day con-
ference at Zurich with q vague
statement calling for national
unity and a decision to let the
King name a coalition govern
ment. They stipulated only that
all three factionS-pro-W Western
conservatives, pro- Communist
Pathet Lao and neutralists -
must be represented but did not
specify how the power should
be divided.
Delegates from 13 other ma
tions marked time here all
week hoping the princes would
produce a coalition govern
ment to represent Laos at the
conference and tell it what
the Laotians themselves will
agree to.
But the joint statement
issued at the end Of the Zurich
meeting omitted any mention
of when a delegation might be
formed, or even when the
princes would meet again. The
Geneva conference called a
recess until Monday.
Premier Makes Concessions
The main points of agree
ment signed by the princes
represented important conces-
sions by Western-backed Pre-
mier Prince Boun Oum.
King Savang favorS Prince
Boun Gum and dislikes Prince
Souvanna Phouma and his
half brother and ally, Prince
Souphanouvong, chief of the
Pathet Lao rebels.
But with Pathet Lao forces
controlling possibly half of
Laos and most of Prince Boun
Gums troops showing no will
to fight, there appeared little
chance that the King could do
anything but make Prince Sou
wanna Premier and give Prince
Souphanouvong a key place.
Among the points in the
joint statement obviously con-
ceded by Prince Boun Oum
we're:
l. Rejection of military al
liances and protection by mill
tary blocs such as the Vests
Southeast Asia Treaty Organ
ization. Laos is not a member
of SEATO but a protocol to the
treaty provides for the alliance
to protect it against aggression
if the Laotians ask for such
protection.
2. Establishment of diplo-
matte relations with "neighbor-
ing countries" This means
Communist China and Com
munist North Wet Nam.
3. Continuance of the rebel
Pathet Lao administration in
provinces it now controls.
4. Formation of a provisional
government independent of the
present pro-Western National
Assembly.
5. Organization of new elec-
tions to replace the present
National Assembly. The Com
munists claim the Assembly is
rigged to oppose them.
Nowhere in the 900-word
statement was there mention
of the International Control
Commission which now is sup
posed to supervise the cease
fire in Laos and which prob
ably will be empowered to over
see Laotian neutrality and in
dependence if the East-West
conference ever concludes an
agreement.
