Kennedy’s Comments
Seem to Have Closed the
Door on Tractor Deal
HAVANA UP) — A foreign min
istry source said yesterday that
President Kennedy’s comments on
the tractors-for-prisoners issue
seem to have closed the door to
further negotiations.
Kennedy told his Washington
news conference Wednesday that
the volunteer committee of Amer
icans had done all it could and
it was now up to Fidel Castro to
“change his views.”
The general feeling here was
that the Cuban Prime Minister
won’t reduce his demands and if
the Tractors for Freedom Com
mittee does not meet them, nego
tiations are probably ended.
The committee disbanded Fri
day after Castro rejected its of
fer of 500 farm tractors — esti
mated to cost about $3.5 million
—in exchange for nearly 1,200
captives from the ill-fated Cuban
invasion.
Castro held out for $28 mil
lion worth of tractors or heavy!
bulldozers and for the second
time dispatched a group of pri
soners to the United States in an
effort to keep talks alive.

ANOTHER BIG REASON BEHIND THE BIG BOOM IN FORD SALES
Galaxie styling is inspiring more admiration
(and imitation) than any other car on the road!
This is the look that started with Thunderbird
—sired the Galaxie—and quickly became the
styling success of the Sixties.
Many cars have tried to copy it. No car has
succeeded. Incomparably beautiful, the 1961
Galaxie maintains its distinction—as originals
always do.
Styling is only part of Galaxie’s distinction:
this is the car that’s beautifully built to take
care of itself. The ’61 Ford goes 30,000 miles
between chassis lubrications . . . 4,000 miles
between oil changes. Brakes adjust automati
cally. The muffler is built to last three times as
long as ordinary ones. The body is specially
treated to resist rust and corrosion. The finish
never needs waxing.
Wouldn’t it make sense to STOP spending
money on an old car that can never do for you
what a new Ford can do?
SWAP right now while your Ford Dealer’s
sales are booming—and the swapping is easier
than it’s ever been before.
SAVE with the Ford that makes saving fun!
