Cubans' Counsel Awaiting Action From Sen Weicker
Miami attorney Ellis Rubin said he may advise four Cubans arrested in the Watergate burglary to switch to not guilty pleas and sue the Republican campaign committee, but he will wait two weeks to see what Sen. Lowell Weicker plans. Weicker met the men after they pleaded guilty and were held in Danbury prison. Weicker’s aide said the senator was concerned and may consider actions as a committee member, not as counsel.
