In Havana twenty three hours after a five day truce the Cuban Red Cross says thirty two hostages including two American sailors were released from rebel hands. The prisoners were transported to Moncada army HQ in Santiago de Cuba after being handed to Cuban officials at Alto Songo in Oriente Province. The group included twenty six passengers and six crew from two DC3 airliners hijacked in late October and November. The two Americans named are Robert M Montgomery and Wilma Parker Woolman. A Cuban Airlines spokesman said the rebels also returned the body of a month old girl who died when food lodged in her windpipe. One rebel pistol fired accidentally wounding captain Francisco Valliciego but all prisoners reported good treatment. The truce was arranged during conferences by ham radio between Raul Castro and Cuban Red Cross Lt. Col. Oscar Cassio del Pino with Maj. Gen. Castillo overseeing Cuban forces in Oriente Province.
