NEW YORK: Cardinal Cushing, the -Archbishop of Boston, is one of 52 prominent persons who have organised a committee to raise 62 million dollars to ransom Cuban invasion prisoners. Organised at the behest of the Cuban Families Committee for the Liberation of 'Prisoners of War, Inc., in New York, the committee is represented by members from the arts, industry, education, labour and religion.
Other members of the committee include Bishop Edward E. Swanstrom, executive director, Catholic Relief Services -National Catholic Welfare Conference; Auxiliary Bishop Philip M. Hannan, of Washington; David J. McDonald, president, United Steel Workers; James A. Farley, former Postmaster General; Ed. Sullivan, TV personality and
newspaper columnist; Episcopal Bishop James Pike, of California; and Princess Lee Bouvier Radziwill, sister-inlaw of President Kennedy. Spokesman for the Cuban Families Committee hailed the formation of the sponsors group as the spearhead for an international drive to raise the fines levied by the Castro government against the captives taken in the invasion attempt of April, 1961. It was also announced that a British committee would be formed to raise money in that country. Individual "fines" imposed by the Castro regime's courts ranged from 25,000 dollars to 500,000 dollars. Of the 1,179 men captured, one was ransomed early this year by his father. Sixty ill and wounded prisoners were released by the regime in April after a pledge to pay 2,500,000 dollars in ransom was made. The sixty, now in the United States, are committed to return to Cuba if the ransom is not raised.
