Peace Move From Fliers Weaken Summit Hopes
Washington AP dispatch reports that the Soviet release of two imprisoned American fliers raises prospects for a Kennedy Khrushchev meeting later this year while Kennedy cautions that many obstacles remain. The fliers Capt. John R. McKone of Topeka and Capt. Freeman B. Olmstead of Elmira were freed after being held since July 1 following an RB47 shootdown. The exchange is seen as a step in a broader Soviet peace offensive connected to Laos Cuba and the Congo. Kennedy halted U2 flights over the Soviet Union and asserted no plans to reopen Cuba relations. Diplomatic circles weigh whether the release signals a genuine thaw or strategic maneuver in the run up to a potential summit.
