Details Stall Cuban Prisoner Release
HAVANA—(UPI)—Negotiations for the release of 1,113 captured Cuban invaders bogged down last night in discussion of undisclosed "details," and it appeared the talks might continue for some time to come.
New York attorney James B. Donovan spent about four hours in conference with Premier Fidel Castro without announced result "The negotiations did not end today as expected." Mrs. Berti
at end today as expected," Mrs. Berta
"The Rotation of Cosmical Bodies" will be the subject of a special lecture Friday at 7:30 p.m. in Lindley Hall.
Cosmic Body Talk Set Tomorrow
S. Chandrasekhar, distinguished astrophysics professor at the University of Chicago, will give the lecture. He is also the special invited speaker for the KU Science and Math Day, which is to be held Saturday for Kansas high school students.
The negotiations have been cloaked in secrecy from the start, and nothing is known about the terms Donovan is offering.
IN EIGHT days here, Donovan has seen Castro only twice. They conferred for about 7 hours Friday at Varadero Beach, and met here late yesterday. In both cases, Castro called Donovan and set the place and hour of the meeting.
These sources gave no estimate on exactly how much federal money might be used.
In Washington, sharp opposition developed in Congress today to any plan for the U.S. government to pay part of the ransom.
CONGRESSIONAL sources said they understood that the United States was prepared to put up "lots of money" to help free the Cubans.
Rep. John J. Rhodes, R-Ariz., in a telegram to the White House quoted Charles C. Pinckney, U.S. minister to France, who said in 1797 "millions for defense but not one cent for tribute."
Sen. John J. Williams, R-Del., urged President Kennedy yesterday to deny reports that federal funds would be involved. The State Department and White House declined comment.
Rep. A. S. Herlong, D-Fla., wired the President that a taxpayers' ransom would be "repugnant" to our traditions.
The technical lecture will deal with the classical problems of rotating fluids for which Chandrasekhar has devised a new treatment.
Rep. William Cramer, R-Fla., declared: "It is time to let the people of the country know what this deal is. This whole deal smells, which is obvious because of its secret nature."
The Congressional sources said they were informed U.S. funds would be made available by the Central Intelligence Agency, whose budget is secret.
CASTRO'S last announced demand for the release of the prisoners taken in last year's abortive invasion was for $82 million. Donovan is believed to be offering food and medicines in exchange for the prisoners, and perhaps some payment in cash as well.
Donovan told his New York office by telephone yesterday that he was "highly optimistic" about the prospects of working out a settlement.

"Tareyton's Dual Filter in duas partes divisa est!"
says Romulus (Alley-Oop) Antonius, agile acrobatic ace of the amphitheater, while enjoying a Tareyton. "Tempus sure does fly when you smoke Tareyton," says Alley-Oop. "Marcus my words, one Tareyton's worth all the Julius in Rome. Because Tareyton brings you de gustibus you never thought you'd get from any filter cigarette."
