additional relatives of the freed invasion forces could leave Cuba only if Pan American Airways resumes its service to the Coni~ munisl island.

The new move was rcported by Havana radio as communi-

_ participation in a Saturday cere-

mony at Miami welcoming freed Bay of Pigs invasion prisoners.

"The revolutionary govern- ment will maintain its policy to authorize the departure from the country of all those desiring to leave as soon as the Pan Amer- ican Airways resumes its flights to Cuba which it suspended by a decision of North American authorities." the Castro onto said.

No elaboration of the state- ment was given.

A Pan American spokesman in New York said the airline had little desire to resume nor- mal service to Cuba. He said I‘CSII‘ICtKlIiS and limited travcl had resulted in heavy losses on Cuban flights in the last several years.

Private and commercial flights to and over the island were banned by the United States during the crisis over Castro's construction of Soviet missile bases.
