Five Cuban refugees reach U S after stowaway escape
Five Cuban refugees aged 18 to 32 arrived in the United States aboard a coast guard cutter after fleeing Cuba on a Greek freighter. They sought political asylum, were examined by health and immigration officials, and met relatives from New Jersey and New York before going to a Catholic Cuban refugee office in Boston. The group said they escaped because youths cannot legally leave Cuba, alleging only the elderly or ill may depart. They were found Dec 4 aboard the freighter en route to Egypt and transferred Dec 13 to the Escanaba 1,500 miles southeast of New York. They swam ashore at Matanzas harbor and had no money.
