Massachusetts, where small
craft warnings were raised
from Eastport to Block Is
land, to San Francisco, where
Bay Area residents bundled
up in 31-dcgree temperatures.
Snow, driven by winds up
to 50 miles an hour, created
hazardous driving conditions
in New Mexico, where state
police advised motorists to
use chains on snow-packed
highways.
Snow-slick highways near

accidents. Near Muldrow

MiamHUPIl-Calls for oblit
eration of the Castro regime
mounted among leaders of the
Cuban exile community to
day in the Joyous reception
given to 1,113 Bay of Pigs
invasion prisoners who were
airlifted to freedom.
The captives, who were
shuttled to liberty by 10 air
planes Sunday and Monday
after 20 months in Cuban
jails, anxiously awaited news
of the freighter African Pi
lot, which was scheduled to
leave Havana tod; y with
1,000 of their relatives!
All harkened to a pledge
for Fidel Castro's demise
sounded by Manuel Artime, a
leader in the abortive inva
sion and last on the list of
prisoners to be returned. At
a press conference Tuesday,
Artime promised hoarsely
that "we shall return
The 30-year-old Cuban cajl-
ed on the governments of the
Western Hemisphere to mount
a siege against Fidel Castro's
regime. Such unity, he said,
could "topple the Cuban Com
munist rule within a week."
Determined To Reassault
Artime said the released
prisoners were determined to
reassault the Caribbean is
land. "We have given our
word to our dead, to the Cu
ban people, and to the free
world that we will liberate
Cuba or die in the attempt,"
he declared.
"We feel that Fidel Castro
can only be overthrown by
a military action," he con
tinued. "We also think that
the Cuban problem is not
local problem. It is the prob
lem of the Western Hemi
sphere." Artime, who has emerged
as a focal figure in the exile
community, spoke at the su
burban Miami home of a
prominent Cuban exile. He
emphasized that all the re
turned prisoners regarded
themselves as the "troops of
the revolutionary council."
Joyous Reunions
Elsewhere in Miami, the
gaunt prisoners indulged in
joyous Christmas reunions
with their families, strolling
the streets, engaging in fes.

But all were preoccupied
with an event in Havana: The
tangled arrangements for the
return of 1,000 relatives on
the African Pilot. This craft
had delivered to Havana the
bulk of the $53 million food
and medical ransom for the
captives' release.
Officials Beseiged
More than 3,500 of their
relatives were reported to
have beseiged the Havana of
fice of the Cuban Families
committee, pleading to be

Fidel Castro told 100 of
these relatives Tuesday that
the United States might refuse
them entrance. "I would be
more than willing to let go
without passports, visas or
anything all relatives who
could go," he said, "but you
should know you might en
