The signs were in the wind
all this week but it was not
until last night that the word
spread like the fires in a Cuban
sugar cane field that Mr.. Dono-
van had signed a final agree
ment with Cuban Premier Fidel
Castro for the ransoming.

that set out with such high
heart to overthrow Castro in
April, 1861. Some of them died
on the beaches of the Playa
Jiron and others in Cuban
jailS or against a wall under
the guns of a Miliciano firing
squad.
Sixty of the survivors were
ransomed last April IA and
more than 10000 Cubans gave
them a historical welcome at
Miami International Airport. It
is expected that between 150,-
600 and 100000 refugees will
stage a demonstration Of emo
ton unparalleled since VIZ
Day when the brigade returns
to the city in which it was
recruited.
It had been reported earlier
that there were lib prison.
ers still in jail awaiting ran
som, but exile sources now put
the number at 1,107, explain
ing that six were ransomed
privately by wealthy families.
Mr.. Freyre said word reached
him shortly after 9 o'clock last
night that final agreement had
been concluded.

The men will be freed ION or
before Christmas" Mr.. Dono
van announced in Havana. He
broke the news himself to some
prisoners held in Havana'S
Principe Castle, and word of
their long-awaited freedom also
was relayed to other captives
held on the Isle of Pines off
Southwest Cuba, the Associated
Press reported.
Red Cross officials said they
are highly optimistic that the
entire prisoner group will be
back among their friends and
relatives by Christmas Day.
The price tag for the lives
Of the prisoners: an estimated
$50 million in supplies desper-
ately needed by the laundering
Castro regime. The story given
out is that the committee raised
some of the ransom price but
that American drug and med
ical firms contributed most of
1t in return for United States
Government tax relief.
A joint announcement in
Washington by Cen. Lucius D.
Clay, chairman of the Cuban
Families Advisory Committee,
and E. Roland Hartman,
chairman of the American Red
Cross, said the prisoners will
be flown to Miami in a four
plane shuttle. The first Pan
American World Always plane
had been scheduled to leave
Miami for Havana at 6 am.
tomorrow before today's uncer-

The shuttle planes will be

Action Against Barnett Filed
By u. S. in ole Miss Case

orders before it reached oxford,
The fourth count alleged that
Gov. Barnett failed to main
tain law and order on the uni
versity campus during the night
of rioting after he personally
assumed such responsibility.
The Governments applica-
ton went into no details
regarding the circumstances
under which the Governor as
sumed the responsibilities the
Justice Department said he did,
This was assumed to refer to
conversations that took place
between Attorney General Ken
nedy and Gov. Barnett before
the Negro student was taken to
the campus that Sunday night
which ended in rioting.
Kennedy Statement
1t is understood that Gov.
Barnett and the Attorney Gen.
eral agreed on the procedure
that would be followed on that
day. In its current issue, Look
Magazine said Gov. Barnett
knew all the arrangements and
even suggested that the mar
shals draw their guns in a show
of force at the university en-
trance after which he would
step aside and allow Mr.. Mere
dith to enter the campus.
The Justice Department said
the magazine account was
accurate.
In announcing Mr.. Jaworski's
appointment, Mr.. Kennedy
said:
1--WE have made this appoint
ment because a number of high
officials of the Department of
Justice were personally in
volved in negotiations with
the Governor and in actions
taken by the department to
enforce court orders in the
James H. Meredith case.
LAS a result, they might
very we'll be called as witnesses
in the court proceedings. In
accord with normal legal prac-
tice and past department policy
when attorneys are to be wit
nesses, therefore we have
sought outside counsel and we
feel fortunate to have secured
the service of so distinguished
an attorney as Mr.. Jaworski.
The Attorney General him.
self. as well as other high JUS
tice Department officials, were
directly involved in the nego-
tiationS to get Mr.. Meredith
into the university and might
be called as witnesses.
