The Tractors for Freedom Committee proposes trading 500 agricultural tractors for 1,214 Cuban prisoners and a negotiated release plan. A six member technical panel would travel to Havana if Castro accepts, with initial 100 tractor shipments within two weeks. The move draws criticism from Sen. Barry Goldwater, who calls it blackmail.

West Germans Reject New Red Protests
Berlin West Germany rejected Soviet protests as artificial and unjustified denouncing meetings of parliamentary committees in West Berlin. Felix von Eckardt said the complaints aim at propaganda and do not threaten peace, noting such meetings align with four power status and have occurred for years without USSR protests. He blamed Khrushchev’s 1959 demand to turn Berlin into a demilitarized free city for current Soviet posture.
