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.
