Cuban Rebels Release ‘

Small Kidnapped Group ‘ I

1 By GEORGE KAUFMAN

HAVANA (Aim-Five or six. of the 49 North Americans taken captive in Cuban rebel kidnap raids were reported released Wednesday. Release of the oth- ers appeared imminent.

The first three, two Americans and a Canadian, were airlifted by helicopter from the mingle mountainsides of Oriente prov- ince to the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo in southeast Cuba.

The helicopter took off late in the day to bring back a second batch of three. Among them pre- sumably is one of two American consular officials who went into the jungles Sunda to negotiate with rebel leaders for the re- lease of all these held.

MOTIVE NOT CLEAR

The motivation of the whole sale kidnappings remained some- what unclear. One version is that the rebels of Fidel Castro used this means of) dramatically bring- ing to attention theiycontention that the United States is favor— ing — and even helping —— the Batista government, to crush the long Cuban rebellion.

There was no immediate word from Guantanamo on how the first .three released had fared

in rebel hands. All presumably were in good shape, however;

They are W. Caster, Henry Sal- monson of Portland, Ore., and Edward Cannon, 50, of Cornwall, Ont. '

Costerf was identified only as an American, in embassy rec- ords. 'llhey did not show where he was from. .1

Release of the three left 44 U.S. citizens and two Canadians still presumably in rebel hands in Oniente province. :

(A ham radio broadcast inter- cepted in Florida meanwhile quoted Cuban rebel leader Fidel Castro as ordering release of any North Americans who may be held by his followers. Merritt stoner of Lakeland, Fla, told the Lakeland Ledger he picked up the broadcast from a man in Cuba identifying himself as a newspaper correspondent. Stoner said the broadcast'wa-s directed to an Alabama be the New York Times and Pres- ident Eisenhower. .

(Atialbout the same time CBS radio correspondent Tom Cos tigan at Santiago, Cuba, reported to his New York office that four captives will be released Thur-s- day. His call, was cut off before"

DELEGATE REPORTS

Comrade J. J. Connolly, one of the delegates who had attended the recent convention in Edmon- ton gave a review of the proceed- ings. r , He stated that the - opening ceremonies were so enlightening and impressive as to have. been in themselves worth the trip to Edmonton. '

History was made on that day in that it was the first time a Legion convention was open by a prime minister. It was the first time the Prime Minister had given a public address on Sunday. In fact the present Prime Minister is the first vet- eran. ever to hold that high office in Canada.

Comrade Connolly then pro- ceeded to deal with other high- lights of the convention, includ- ing membership, — war veterans

allowance, Legion housing, the Legion home in Ottawa, the changing of the name, etc.

Earlier, in Guantanamo, Cuba. the commander of this U.S. naval base said he expected news to- day about North Americans held somewhere in the surrounding mountains.

Rear-Admiral R. B. Ellis told a press conference he based his hunch on the time elapsed since two U.S. consular officials set out from nearby Santiago to meet with the rebel captors.

Ellis did not say so, but the state department disclosed 'i-n Washington that the two officials have been sending out cryptic messages since they set out three days ago. /

President Eisenhower set aside fears thatthe two, Consul Park Wollam and Vice-Consul Robert Weicha. themselves might be held by Castroa-nd his followers. The president said at a press conference in Washington there was nothing to speculation the consuls might be prisoners.

Island stores under the Lucky Dollar banner number 50, to con- stitute one of the largest groups ever to be formed in Eastern Canada at the one time.

The background of this deve- lopment is the close association with the Island and its industries of the Charloan branch of Atlantic Wholesalers Ltd, un- der the of Gordon Avard. From the earliest days of its location in the province, the branch has founded its re- putation on fine service and fair

The Charlottetown branch op- erates as any independent, Is- land wholesale house, employ: ing Island personnel and mak- ing substantial contributions to Island economy not only through its payrolls but also through its purchases and fea- turing of Island and Maritime products. ' .
