Castro Is Served
Notice That the
Tractor Deal Is Off
KEY WEST, Fla. W) — Fidel
Castro has been served notice that
it is incompatable with the na
tional interest of the United
States to pay him an indemity for
damages caused by the April 17
invasion of Cuba.
Castro’s insistance on repara
tions dashed all hopes of a nego
tiated release of 1,197 prisoners.
John Hooker Jr., executive
secretary of the disbanded Trac
tor for Freedom Committee told
10 of Castro’s prisoners here that
“in the name of honor the com
mittee feels it cannot send Dr.
Castro tractors, money or credits
for indemity. Not $28 million or
$28.”
The Cuban Prime Minister of
fered on May 17 to exchange the
prisoners for 500 heavy bull
dozers. Later he said he would ac
cept lighter tractors as an in
demity for invasion damages, pro
vided their value was $28 million.
It was his insistance on in
demity that wrecked all hopes for
a solution.
In declining to reconstitute it
self in the wake of Castro’s re
jection of its final offer of 500
light tractors, the committee said
through Hooker that:
“By thus changing the course
of the negotiations by injecting
the concept of indemity, Dr. Cas
tro sought to give the impression
that the humanitarian intent of
private citizens was proof of guilt.
“This made acceptance of Dr.
Castro’s terms incompatible with
our national honor and our role
as private citizens,” Hooker told
the prisoners.
Hooker served as a link be
tween the prisoners and the com
mittee since the 10 men arrived
here, less than 24 hours after the
committee had dissolved itself, a
fact of which the prisoners were
not aware when they left Cuba.

Hemingway . . .
'Continued From Page 1)
“A Farewell to Anns,” in which
Cooper starred when it was made
into a movie, was based partially
on his war experiences. It was
with this novel in 1929 that Hem
ingway won world renown.
In the Paris of the 1920s, Hem
ingway became a disciple of Ger
trude Stein, who once called him
“the lost generation.” It was on
this theme that Hemingway built
his early reputation with his
novel, “The Sun also Rises,” in
1926.
Wars fascinated Hemingway. He
entered enthusiastically into the
Spanish Civil War on the Loyal
ist side.
From this came his brilliant
and angry novel, “For Whom the
Bell Tolls.” Cooper also starred
in a movie version of this book.
When World War II broke out.
he was again on the front, spend
ing weeks at the regimental
headquarters of Col. Charles T
Lanham, later a major general
commanding the first division in
Germany. This too resulted in
a novel, “Across the River and
Into the Trees.”
Hemingway had homes here and
in Cuba, where he lived alterna
tively ii: recent years and wrote
“The Old Man and the Sea,” which
won him a Pulitzer prize in 1953.
Hemingway lived a lusty life as
any of his fictional characters.
When his Nobel prize was an
nounced in 1954, Hemingway was
in a hospital, recovering from an
injury he received when his plane
crashed on a big game hunting
trip in Africa.
A source close to the Royal
Swedish Academy of Literature
said then the Nobel prze author -
itties believed Hemingway would
I receive the award eventually and
I “we might as well give it to him
i now before he kills himself.”

Conduct Charges

Liston, the No. 1 heavyweight
contender, was cleared Saturday
of a charge that he impersonated
a policeman.

time in prison.
Liston and a companion, Isaac
Cooper, 26, also were cleared of
charges of disorderly conduct and
resisting arrest.
Magistrate E. David Kaiser,

Gen. MacArthur
Receives Rousing
Welcome in Manila
MANILA GW — General of the
Army Douglas MacArthur, wear
ng his crushed wartime camgaign
cap and a neatly pressed military
uniform, returned today to a tri
umphant and tumultous welcome
in the Philippines, which reveres
him as its World War II liberator.
“I have indeed returned,” Mac
Arthur, 81, told a roaring throng
at the Manila International Air
j port.
Upwards of 50,000 Filipinos
gave the returning hero a wel
come which, in warmth and en
thusiasm, equaled the reception
given former President Eisen
hower on his visit here last year.
Although the turnout for Ei
senhower was reported larger — i
in the neighborhood of one million
—the people appeared more en
thusiastic in their welcome for
MacArthur.
The five-star general, on a sen
timental 10-day visit to to this
former battleground, appeared fit
and healthy as they stepped off a
glistening orange-tipped silver
colored U. S. Air Force jet plane
provided by President Kennedy.
He was back again on the soil
' where he directed liberating
American forces against the Ja
, panese to avenge the Filipino
i American defeats he suffered at
Corregidor and Bataan.
The Philippine government
I brushed protocol aside to give
MacArthur a welcome usually re
served for chiefs of state.
President and Mrs. Carlos Gar
cia were at the airport to wel
! come the illustrious old soldier.
I The country’s top officials and
members of the Foreign Diplo
matic Corps also were on hand.
Full military honors were given
MacArthur, who once commanded
I the Pilippine army,
j The airport was splashed with
1 American and Filipino flags. A
huge banner proclaimed “Wel
come, Mabuhay (long live) Gen
eral MacArthur.”
MacARTHUR VISITS JAPAN
TOKYO GW — General of the
Army Douglas MacArthur re
turned to Japan, briefly and
secretly, today for the first time
since he was recalled by President
Truman a decade ago.
Sources at Misawa Air Base
confirmed that MacArthur’s jet
refueled there on its journey to
Manila and that the five-star
general disembarked and set foot
on the soil of the nation he once
ruled with authority exceeding
that of the emperor.
Misawa is the major U. S. base
in northern Honshu, 250 miles
northeast of Tokyo.

Iloifa Re-Elected
President of Teamsters
MIAMI, Fla. UP) — Amid gaudy
trappings and jazz tunes, James
R. Hoffa today opened a special
Teamsters convention summoned
to elect him to a new five-year
term as president of the nation’s
biggest labor union.
Hoffa marched through the
packed Deauville Hotel Conven
tion Hall arm in arm with John
English, 72, Teamsters secretary
treasurer, to the platform where
Murray (Dusty) Miller, southern
teamsters chief, led delegates in
cheers.
Hoffa’s colorful, although un
needed, re-election campaign was
conducted against only one phan
tom opposition. Milton J. Liss,
president of Teamsters Local 478
of Newerk, N. J., had announced
as a candidate against Hoffa.
But there was no Liss cam
paign material in evidence and
Liss himself could not be located
immediately as the convention got
under way.
Before the convention started,
Hoffa fired verbal broadsides
against the Kennedy Administra
tion and the AFL-CIO while gear
ing up the 1.7 million member
teamsters for an even bigger role
on the American labor front.
