Cuba stalls on hijacked jet after Memorial Day
Sixty nine aboard Pan American Airways Flight 442 remained in Cuba behind a wall of silence as officials in Miami speculated they might stay until four Cuban captains are freed from a U.S. jail. A Pan Am official said there was no word from Havana on a departure time and noted speculation the detention could lengthen the stay if Cuban captains are not released. State Department officials dismissed the retaliation theory, saying no hard information connected the two incidents. The department reported the passengers were being well treated and taken on a bus tour of Havana.
