Hunger strike ends as Mexico considers parole talks
American prisoners in Mexican jails halted a 36 hour hunger strike after protests drew attention to possible parole for many offenders. President Echeverria proposed legislation that could speed release for hundreds of drug offenders among 572 Americans jailed. The Interior Ministry cited talks with prison officials and praised actions and new jails in Mexico City. James Dean Brown of San Francisco led the protest aimed at Washington over delays in a prisoner exchange proposal tied to Kissinger talks. Mexico said Washington had not yet responded.
