Thant forwards new Cuban Soviet proposals to U.S.
U.N. Acting Secretary General Thant said he has sent new Cuban and Soviet crisis proposals to U.S. officials but declined to reveal them. Castro warned U.S. reconnaissance flights over Cuba and stuck to a five-point peace with dignity plan including U.S. withdrawal from Guantanamo and lifting embargoes. Negotiations aim to implement the Oct. 28 Kennedy Khrushchev accord under U.N. supervision as Cuba rejects U.N. oversight and the Soviet Union has withdrawn most missiles.
