Stowaways Crowd Into America for Free Ride
News from a New York port reports a surge of stowaways seeking a free passage to the United States during wartime. Many are said to be veterans, orphans, or displaced workers from Europe, taking advantage of unsettled ports and disrupted travel. Some arrive as seamen or through crews, while others slip aboard ships to evade strict migration controls. Authorities warn of long prison terms for violators and note the trend reflects wartime port conditions and economic desperation.
