Cuba Releases Last Americans From Prisons
DONOVAN AND the Castro government disclosed no details of the Americans' departure, but the Swiss Embassy, which handles U.S. affairs in Cuba, said the group would leave this morning aboard the chartered plane which brought Donovan to Cuba Saturday along with 15,400 pounds of ransom goods.
HAVANA — (UPI) — The last 27 Americans imprisoned in Cuba prepared for a "freedom flight" to the United States today.
New York attorney James B. Donovan, who negotiated the release of the Americans, said his year-long mission in behalf of prisoners and Cuban refugees had been accomplished.
DONOVAN BEGAN talks for the release of the Americans after he successfully negotiated the freedom of the 1,113 captured Bay of Pigs invaders for a ransom of $53 million in food and medicine, collected by the American Red Cross.
DONOVAN BLASTED "groundless speculation by certain elements in the press" that his mission formed part of a deal between the U.S. and Cuban governments involving secret U.S. commitments.
THE LAWYER said 1,000 more refugees will come to the United States later this week, possibly Wednesday, bringing to more than 5,000 the total number of Cubans and Americans permitted to leave Cuba.
"It involves no further pledges of drugs, medicines or baby food to the Cuban people." Donovan said in a telegram sent to his New York office.
"It has been understood from the commencement of the mission that I would be wholly unauthorized to represent any United States position in that area," he said in the statements.
