MEXICO CITY — American prisoners have ended a hunger strike after 36 hours and expressed gratitude to the Mexican govern ment for taking initiatives that could bring freedom to hundreds of Americans in Mexican jails, the Interior Ministry announced. President Luis Echeverria pro posed legislation on Sunday that could result in parole before the end of the year for many of the drug of fenders among the 572 Americans in Mexican jails. Echeverria’s action J took most of the steam out of the 5 strike movement, and when the fast began on Tuesday, only about 70 2 Americans and two Canadians par- a ticipated. ■z The Interior Ministry said the 5 leaders of the protest met yesterday - afternoon in the Reclusio Norte f prison with Dr. Sergio Garcia ^ Ramirez, undersecretary in charge § of federal prisons, and agreed to end S their fast. “We are truly indebted to the president and Dr. Garcia Ramirez and congratulate them for their posi tive actions and for the new jails re cently opened in this city,” the ministry quoted the Americans as saying. Most of the Americans were con victed of trying to smuggle drugs from South America through Mexico to the United States. They have pro tested, to the U.S. government for several months, against alleged ill- treatment. They have claimed they were denied legal representation. Their sentences averaged seven years. The chief organizer of the strike, James Dean Brown, 34, of San Fran cisco, said their protest was aimed chiefly at Washington. He accused the U.S. government of delaying in responding to a prisoner-exchange agreement that Mexico suggested in June during talks with Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger. Dr. Charles H.
