crab.

invitation to buy Soviet crab on
June 30 quoted a price of $23.52
per case at New York City. Cases
of the same size of fancy Alaska

Two of Castro’s
Prisoner Envoys Decide
Not to Return to Cuba
MIAMI, Fla. Iff) — Two of
Fidel Castro’s 10 prisoner-envoys
decided Saturday not to return
to Cuba. They said they want to
stay and fight Castro again.
But others who participated in
the Bay of Pigs invasion, in which
1,197 men were captured, have
volunteered to take their place,
said Gustavo Garcia Montes,
spokesman for the prisoner group.
Garcia Montes said he and seven
other prisoners plan to return as
scheduled.
Mirto Collazo and Reynaldo
charged Castro with reneging on
his offer to free fellow prisoners
for tractors, and said they want
ed to remain so they could fight
him again.
“We came to the United States
to obtain freedom for our pri
soner companions,” said Collazo
in an interview. “We tried to get
enough tractors for that. We did
not succeed.
“So, if there were not tractors,
we believe there must be bullets.
We are remaining with the in
tention of continuing the fight
against despot Fidel Castro.”
Pico declared: “Fidel Castro
is a fraud, and what he wants is
to spare for time, delay any armed
action. He never fulfills any pact,
and goes from contradiction to
contradiction. We do not want to
continue lending ourselves to such
a nefarious aim.
“We believe our companions
and all political prisoners in Cuba
must be freed in some way. To
do that, we are ready to risk our
lives again under any circum
stances.”

pens.”
