Ferre Sees Puerto Rico Statehood Decade Off
Governor Luis A Ferre, aiming for Puerto Rico to become the 51st U S state, says statehood remains at least ten years away but Congress cannot deny it if Puerto Rico petitions. He predicts a plebiscite after 1972 and notes strong support for presidential voting on the island. Ferre expects six month terms on copper contracts and cites Cuba and Fidel Castro as behind recent bombings.
