A Mere S Trillion, 600 Billion
Would Ransom All Red-Held Folk
To the Editor of Tho Star:
I have read in your paper
where Mr. James Donovan is
about to conclude the release
of snipe 1.100 Cuban prisoners
from the Bay of Pigs.invasion
for $62,000,000.
What interested me most
was that It was suggested that
it might be paid in the main
frotq CIA money, that hap-
pened to be av,lilable, and
lus
ur
i
p
in s
actually delivered
a g r i c u l t u r a l p r o tt u c t s and
drugs. If my figares are rea-
sonably correct, it ;i ollgws. that
the price Is about $5$,000 per
man.
This. raises resting pos
lands already mentioned. It is,
lion, 600 billion dollars WW

If would aga'zi be.'s
gracious as to accept pgy
ment in kind-say+ CadIllics'
and Lincoln Continentals-this
would amount to four or fives
automobiles for every man,',
woman and child iin.Russia.. }
Then as Neville Chamber-'
lain used to say so succinctly,'
we could be sure to have
'peace in our time."
