Thursday, April 16, 1959 5 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon Hijackers Force Cuban Airliner To Land at Miami Miami, Fla.-(CPD -Four Cu ban men-three of them claim ing to have escaped from , rebel firing squads-hijacked a Cuban airliner at gunpoint j today and forced the pilot to land, in Miami. The Aerovias Q C46 with 19 passengers, four of them Americans, was en route from Havana to the Isle of Pines, about 50 miles south of the Cuban mainland. None of the passengers was harmed. The four Americans aboard were Peter Kissel and his wife, Phyllis, Far Hills, N. J., who said thev were on a vaca tion-fishing trip; Sally Row-! ley, New York City, and Rudy Appel, an exporter from New York City. Guns Pulled Dr. Domingo Acosta, a Ha vana lawyer and one of the passengers, said the four men got out of tneir seats and pull ed pistols some 10 minutes after the twin-engine plane left the airport at Havana. "Anyone who moves we will kill him," Acosta quoted the men as saying. The armed men told the passengers to remain quiet in the seats and then two of them walked into the pilot's compartment. Candelario Delgado 40, the pilot, and co-pilot Falso Val des, said the men held pistols at their heads and jerked off their radio earphones. Not Enough Fuel tf The armed men ordered the pilot to fly to the Dominican Republic, but Delgado pro tested he did not have enough fuel for the trip. The hijack ers then ordered the plane flown to Miami. As soon as the airliner landed, police swarmed around it and refused to let anyone off. Later the pas sengers, including 15 Cuban nationals, were impounded in the abandoned customs head quarters of the airport. The hijackers were identi fied as Lenadro Serrate, 53, a former corporal in SIMS, the Batista secret police, and three brothers, Sgt. Alfredo Masony Sanchez, 36, Rolando, 27, and Jesus, 25. In the Day's Hews By FRANK JENKINS ' President Eisenhower an nounces the resignation of cancer-stricken Secretary of State John Foster Dulles. The President was deeply moved. With traces of tears in his eyes and in a choked up voice, he told the newsmen that Mr. Dulles, stricken with his third outbreak of cancer, is "absolutely incapacitated to carry on his heavy routine duties as our minister of for eign affairs and still make foreign policy. Mr. Dulles, the President added, will carry on (as long as he lives) as a state department consultant. Ike then added, in a voice husky with emotion: "No man of cabinet rank, tomy knowl edge, has filled his position with greater distinction." linS'RE all deeply moved-as "we should be. Here is a dedicated man. He has long known, probably, that his case is hopeless-uiat theend is only a question of time. He went on and did nis iob. Looking death in the ive Measuring the weeks or the months-perhaps, in hope ful moments, the years-remaining to him and seeking to finish his task within nis alloted time. That takes a MAN. MR. DULLES has been un noDular most of the time -as are most men who insist on doing things the harcl way in times when to tnem seems plain that the hard way is the best way. It would have been so EASY to appease communism.' To give a little here. To give uttip thee. To postpone the evil day by means of com promises, each of which would have left our position as a nation a little weaker than it was before. Arid- It would have been popular. We all love excuses to cnoose the easy way. TUT Mr. Dulles was inde- -Dfatigable in the course he If he insisted on driving his country hard in what he conceived to be the direction in which it should go, he also insisted on driving himself hard At an age when most of us like to think of taking it easy, he gave up tne easy i: a r.r.Tr the hard knocks.
