Donovan Loses Sleep, Money During Negotiations for Prisoners in Cuba

noon I got word that clear

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?

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.

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
