Indianapolis Group Urges Court Action Over Castro Tractor Deal
An Indianapolis civic group petitions the Seventh Circuit to halt negotiations by a private committee to release about 1,200 Cuba prisoners. They name Attorney General Kennedy as defendant, claim Logan Act violations, and call Castro’s acceptance of tractors a form of indemnity rather than ransom. The coalition includes Eleanor Roosevelt and Walter Reuther, with member remarks denouncing any deal and urging a presidential, not private, approach.
