Power Failure Puts Manhattan In 412-Hour Chaos

NEW YORK tR - The second massive power failure in less than two years threw five square miles of midtown Manhattan in- to a 412-hour chaos involving mil lions Tuesday. It was the hottest June 18th in the city's history.
 From skyscraper to subway bottom and in between - citizens of this always cramped metropolis were snarled in the vivid example of electricity's value to modern man.
 The power went out just as the mammoth buildings began pour ing their tens of thousands into the streets.
 Riders were trapped in eleva- tors for up to three hours. Pas sengers were stranded below ground in subways. Passengers emerged from both, shaken and dripping with precipitation.
 "It was like a steam bath" said a patrolman coming out of a subway.
 The Great White Way was a strange sight as the setting sun dropped across the Hudson River Times Squares brilliance was blacked out for time. Many of it's movie houses and theaters closed
 Traffic lights were out through out the area and thousands of motorists - accustomed to the bumper-to-bumper routine-found themselves hopelessly ta ng g d face-to-face as well.
 In hospitals, some patients were caught on operating tables. Elmer gency generators were thrown into use and disaster averted.
 The temperature had reached 96 degrees at mid d-afternoon, a record for the date and the high est in two years. Throughout the city air conditioners droned by the hundreds of thousands.
 But the Consolidated Edison Go. - Although reporting it had had the largest load in history from 3 to D. m. - said over loading had not caused the power failure.

Castro Opens aiks With Tractor Committee

HAVANA, Cuba R - Prime Minister Castro opened talks with the American Tractors for Pri- soners Committee today.
 Earlier, the U. s. negotiators announced they will leave Cuba tomorrow whether or not they reached agreement with Castro and indications were they will not.
 A spokesman made the an nouncement while the four-man American team sat cooling it's heels in a Havana hotel, awaiting another meeting with Cuban of ficials.
 The four non-g n-government U. s. technical experts arrived Tuesday to work out swap of 500 trac- tors for the 1,214 Cuban invasion prisoners Castro holds. Tn a two hour meeting Tuesday, Cuban President Osvaldo Dorticos stuck to Castro's terms which are un- acceptable to the American nego- tiators.
 A spokesman for the U. s. group, Duane T. Greenhouse, said arrangements were being made to fly back to Washington tomor- row no matter what happens in talks today.
 He said the team will report promptly in Washington to it's parent Tractors for Freedom Committee of prominent U. s. citizens who are raising funds for the tractors. The committee heads are Eleanor Roosevelt, Walter P. Reuther and pr. Milton Eisen- hover.
 The Castro provisions on an ex- change of prisoners for tractors an idea which Castro himself first advanced-was spelled out in firm tones in today's Havana newspapers, which are govern ment-controlled
 Dorticos was reported to have stuck to Castro's demands for heavy tractors, of the kind used for big construction jobs ranging from roads to airfieldS.
 The U. s. team is offering small CT tractors for farm work, not the big ones.
 Dorticos also was cited as rul- ing out the exchange for tractors of three of his prize prisoners captured in the invasion of April IT that was crushed.
 These are Manuel Artime. the invasion leader; Jose San Roman, one of the battalion commanders. and Rafael Bolivar Fuentes.
 The Havana radio reported that the three men will be freed only in manfor-man exchange for Francisco (The HooD Molina, AL bizu Campos and Henry Winston.
 Molina is a Cuban citizen await ing sentencing in New York for the staying of a 9-year-old girl during political scuffle among pro- and anti-Castro Cubans. Campos is Puerto Rican nation al leader who has been in jail for several years, and Henry Winston is a U. s. Communist party figure.
 The U. s. negotiators made it plain they were not authorized to discuss a political prisoner ex- change. This would require ac- tion by the U. s. government.
