Yank Studenf Says Cubans Worse Off Than Ever Before Madrid -IUPII- One of the American students who went to Castro's Cuba despite a State Department ban shaved off his Castro-type beard here Tuesday and said, "The peo ple of Cuba never lived worse than they do now." Clinton M. Jenks, a 20-year-old resident of Monroe, La., who was born in San Francis co, told UPI: "I don't know how they lived before in Cuba. But I am sure the people of Cuba never lived worse than they do now. They (the Castro gov ernment) told us the people were better off now but I don't believe it." Jenks and his wife Clara were among 54 Americans who arrived here Monday on an Iberia Airlines flight from Havana on their way back to the United States. They were scheduled to leave here Thurs day aboard Iberia Airlines Flight 951 for New York. One of the group, Christian Lee Raisner, believed to be from Pennsylvania, was jailed here shortly after the plane arrived because he did not have a passport, U. S. con sular officials said. The original group that went to Cuba included 59 Americans. But one died ac cidentally while there-Hector Warren Hill, 29, of Brooklyn, N. Y. Three more remained in Cuba and one - Barry Hoffman, 26, of Brookline, Mass. - flew to New York Monday from Bermuda, where he had stopped over with the group on their way to Madrid. The Boston Herald said Tues day Hoffman was a U. S. counterspy. The 54 Americans who reached the Spanish capital Monday night on their way to New York came by way ot Madrid, since the Spanish na tional airline Iberia is the only non-Communist country's airline with regular flights to Havana. No School Dropout Funds for Portland Portland -UP1- Portland is the only major West Coast city which will not receive a share of the President's emer gency fund to campaign against school dropouts. Seattle will get $5,000; San Francisco, $5,000; San Diego, $6,500, and Los Angeles, $16, 000. The allocations ranged from $300 to $20,000 and were based on local district anti-dropout plans outlined to the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Wel fare. The President's $250. 000 grant was being distrib uted to 62 school districts in 23 states. Local school officials indi cated Portland may not re ceive funds because the city's dropout rate is less than that of other cities. 1 D IF o it u SALE B only KITCHEN KNIVES Regular to 98c 19 1 only SPORT STRAW HAT (Man's) 6, Reg. 5.00... 19 Savings for Men FINAL CLEARANCE MEN'S BETTER LIHTWEIGHT SUITS Regular 49.50 29.00 Regular to 59.95 39.00 Regular to 8? 50 69.00 17.88 Qwlr j MEN'S STRAW HATS Entire stock i Reg. 2.96 to 5.95 2 PRICE MEN'S WHITE SPORTCOATS Double as dinner jackets.
