MIAMI, Fla, April 10.-A
Cuban lawyer who chose a life
of genteel poverty here rather
than raise his family under
communism flew to Havana
today to barter with Fidel
Castro for the freedom of 1,179
prisoners.
The mission means more to
Ernesto Freyre Varona than
most people can know, except
other Cuban exiles.
One of those prisoners is
his 19-year-old son, Ernestio.
And his daughter, Rose
Maria Cervantes, is a widow at
81 because of the abortive Bay
of Pigs invasion last year.
Viuda, the Spanish word for
widow, is now formally a part
of her name because her hus-
band, Alfredo, died under
Castro's guns on April 16,. 1861,
at the Playa Giron.
S25,0OO Asked for Son
Mrs. Freyre, after seeing her
husband off this morning, dis
closed that the price on the
head of their son has betnSet
by the Castro government at
$25,000. This is not high as
such things go in Cuba today;
the ransom for some of the
invaders is half a million dol
lars.
Mrs. Freyre said Tito" has
written her that the prisontrs
agree that none should be re-
leased unless all are.
Last night members of the
Freyre family were not no
ticeably Mortified at the Cuban
dictator's offer to release the
prisoners for ransom. They
were interviewed in their neat
four-room home here. Horror
has become too much a part OF
their lives for them to be par

Instead, they were utterly
preoccupied with reading and

a pencil on lined paper from
