Castro Threatens to Cancel Tractors-for-Prisoners Swap
Castro warned in Havana radio that the current drive for a prisoners exchange could be canceled if Washington persists in framing it as an exchange. He said the United States stalls with humane motives while pursuing propaganda and cynicism over the Bay of Pigs failure. Castro offered to swap Cuban invaders for political prisoners if Kennedy seeks an exchange. He named prisoners and noted the plan to free about 1,200 inmates for 500 tractors and bulldozers, with funds already pouring in from supporters in the United States and Cuba.
