Swedish Panel Recommends Asylum For U S Ship Jumpers
A Swedish government committee advised that Sweden let four U S sailors who deserted a carrier in protest stay in Sweden provided they avoid politics. The group, including Richard Bailey John Barilla Michael Lindner and Craig Anderson, fled Oct 23 to Yokosuka and then to the Soviet Union before arriving in Sweden on Oct 29 seeking political asylum. Their families plan visits and fund trips. The final decision rests with the Swedish Aliens Commission which usually follows the committee’s guidance.
