APRIL 19. IMS Donovan Loses Sleep, Money During Negotiations for Prisoners in Cuba A J person who is a sort of inter mediary down there. I had put in a call and Friday after noon I got word that clear ance had come through. "I didn't make a reserva tion, but 1 went out to Idle wild Airport and got a scat on an Eastern Airlines jet for Miami. 1 always fly down there at night. At Miami I went to a hotel and regis tered under an assumed name. You have to be careful to choose a name that matches the initials on your luggage and I use Davis a lot of the time. 'I only carry one bag con taining tropical clothing and a brief case. From the hotel I phoned a restricted area of the Miami Airport and got in touch with Pan American which provides a small plane for the flight to Havana. I asked them to get clearance for mc to fly across the Cuban anti aircraft batteries. It came through pretty fast this time and we took off for Havana. "Seven men well-armed and wearing black silk suits met mc at Havana. I didn't ha"e to show a visa or a passport or anything. I guess my face By HARRY FERGUSON New York - IUPD - James B. Donovan, the one-man free dom train for persons impris oned in Cuba, has been losing two things recently - sleep and money. The Brooklyn lawyer, who negotiated the release of the Bay of Pigs prisoners and more recently nine American skin divers, told in an inter view today about the physical and mental strain of negotiat ing with Fidel Castro. "They work at night down there," he said. "One night I got three hours sleep, another time two hours and third night none at all. Once Cas tro phoned me at 2 o'clock in the morning and announced we were going fishing at 6 o'clock. We did, too." Ltgal Feet Lost So far as money is con cerned, lawyers estimate Don ovan has lost $100,000 in legal fees because of his work in rescuing prisoners in Cuba. He is counsel for the Cuban Families Committee and serves without pay. Not that he is about to become a pauper because he is a mem ber of a well-known firm that has 18 lawyers on its staff. But he has made substantial financial sacrifices ever since he was named by the Brook lyn Bar Association to de fend the Soviet spy, Col. Ru dolf Abel. Subsequently Don ovan negotiated the exchange of Abel, who was taken out of federal prison, and traded for U2 pilot Francis Gary Powers. That led to the dozen trips he has made to Cuba and his work is not finished yet. There are still 22 Ameri cans held by Castro and Don ovan hopes to negotiate for them in about a month. How does he establish con tact with Castro and go about getting into Cuba? Uses Intermediary "Well," he said, "I'll tell RESCUED BY FIREMEN Firemen carry Mrs. Eugene you about one week end. On Baumhover from her burning home in Dubuque, Iowa, after Fridny, March 15, I was in the mother had jumped from the second floor with her federal court here.

(UPI) rB i cl Jjff want to go to Cuba, a phone call to Havana to a I Now! a better way to grow weeds NO LONGER NEED YOU GROW LAWN WEEDS THE OLD-FASHIONED WAY. . . WAITING WEEKS FOR THEM TO DEVELOP FROM SEEDLINGS TO FULL-BLOWN WEEDS BEFORE THEY WITHER AWAY. ORTHO HAS FOUND A WAY TO MAKE WEEDS GROW UP. GROW OLD AND DIE . . . IN JUST FORTY-EIGHT HOURS! Just imtgine! the weed that flourishes in your liwn on Saturday morning will be shriveled and dead by Sunday night. And you don't bend over once ; all you do is spray WEED-B-GON . AN EARLY GRAVE WEED-B-GON is the ingenious Ortho compound oi-hormone ingredients 2,4,5-trichiorophenoxy arftl 2,4-dichlorophenoxy. Hormones make things gVow and the hormones in WEED-B-GON make weeds grow themselves into an early grave. And not just the tops, either. WEED-B-GON kills weeds from the roots up. Which means, of course, they don't grow back. WHO'S WHO OF THE WEED WORLD The list of weeds reads like the Who's Who ol the Weed World. Besides the common "lawn va- 3 HtXTBAYl 1 'TlggpAH iMmovu WEED"B'G0N riety" dandelion and chickweed, WEED-B-GON kills plantain, dock, oxalis, Japanese clover, thistles, morning glory and wild onion. Even woody plants like poison oak, poison ivy, sumac and brambles can't resist WEED-B-GON. In fact, you can turn WEED-B-GON loose on a tree stump (soak the stump with a pint in diesel oil or ker osene) and the stump you couldn't hack out will wither and die. Now you may well wonder if something this efficient won't kill lawn grass as well as weeds. The answer is no. Ortho formu lated WEED-B-GON so that it can actually tell weeds from grass. It wipes out weeds, leaves grass free to flourish. MEDICINE MEN, NOT MIRACLE MEN Do bear this in mind, however: the Ortho fel lows are medicine men, not miracle men. Some U i ttt.U-fM.eff.; 8JIH0.UB Men, witc. ..... .....-.,..;-.., I weeds may take two applications. But you never bend: you simply spray. Just pour WEED-B-GON into the Ortho Lawn Sprayer (the jar is cali brated so you put in just the right amount) and attach it to your garden hose. The sprayer au tomatically dilutes the liquid with hose water as it sprays. It makes weeding easy as watering. And almost as inexpensive. A pint of WEED-B-GON that costs just l .69. diluted, covers up to 5000 square feet of lawn. What's more, you can "spot treat" weeds with this liquid spray instead of spreading your weed control all over the lawn in places where you don't need it. NO WORK: ALL SPRAY The Ortho Lawn Sprayer that costs 3.95 and is guaranteed for 4 years, is invaluable for applying many other ingenious Ortho lawn products. A lawn insect spray, for example, that works so fast that insects actually boil up out of the soil and die . . . before your very eyes. D1BROM Lawn Spray. Or a crabgrass killer that kills the roots as well as the ugly grass itself: Ortho Liquid Crabgrass Killer. Look for them in the rows of red-and-ycllow bottles, boxes and cans at an authorized Ortho dealer. To make a lawn story short: Ortho has all sorts of ways to take the work out of lawn care. ORTHO CALIFORNIA CHEMICAL COMPANY. ORTHO DIVISION. 200 B-tfc 5t..S I....... 20 is pretty well known by now. Three of the men got into a car with me and the other four into another car and we drove to one of the four houses maintained by the Cu ban Ministry of External Af fairs. Everything was ready for me there and I put in a call for Castro. Soma Long Delays "Sometimes I get lo sec Castro right away and some times there is a delay of hours. I started talking with him on Saturday and con tinued through on Sunday, March 17. "Saturday he took me for an automobile ride and we kept negotiating. He Is always very courteous and correct and he gave me a good lunch of fruit cup, chicken soup, red snapper, salad and coffee. Also an excellent cigar. "By Sunday I could sense that the negotiations weren't getting very far, so I decided to try the luck of the Irish. I said to Castro: 'Look, do you know what day this is? This is Saint Patrick's Day and Saint Patrick is my pa tron saint. They are painting a green line down Fifth ave. in New York and getting ready to have a parade. " 'Do you know who one of the big heroes of South America is? Bernard O'Hig gins is his name. It's bad luck to deny anything to an Irish man on Saint Patrick's Duy, and what's more you have two American women in prison and one of them is named O'Neal'." Appealed To Castro Somewhat to Donovan's surprise this Celtic appeal impressed Castro. He went away for a while and then returned and said he was re leasing the two women, Gcr aldine Schamma and Martha O'Neal. They came out of jail wear ing their denim prison clothes and Donovan flew back, to Miami with them on Sunday. "Monday morning," Dono van said, "I was back in fed eral court and the judge looked at me sort of sur prised and asked: 'Well, where have you been and what's new?'" Donovan's s u c c e sses in Uuba nave caused rumors that he is in the pay of the Central Intelligence Agency and actually is working in behalf of the U.S. State De partment in an attempt to negotiate some sort of diplo matic accommodation be tween Washington arid Ha vana. Donovan says that if something plus In a diplo matic sen?e comes out of his work he will be glad, but he stoutly denied he was work ing for the CIA or the State Department. "I have never even met Secretary of State Dean Rusk," he said. "The only contact I ever have with the State Department is that I contact them before I go to Cuba. I explain what my mis sion is and ask them if my activities would be in any way inconsistent with our na tional policy. If they ever said no, I wouldn't make the trip, but so far they haven't. Doesn't Know Policy I honestly couldn t tell you right now what our official national policy is toward Cuba. When I first went down there Castro would ask mc about Washington's intentions toward Cuba and I always told him I wasn't there to represent the United Stales. I was there on a private hu manitarian mission. What is it that keeps driv ing him on missions that in volve danger to his health "Well, you're at the Ha-on their faces and they arc I times when they sec the coast and a financial sacrifice?
