Castro Fights Hotel Clash During U.N. Stay in New York
Edward Spatz, Shelburne owner, blasted Castro as purely propaganda while Raul Castro addressed a Havana rally over alleged insults to their leader in New York. The Cubans, kept within 22 Manhattan square miles for security, faced hotel friction as State Department and U.N. help arranged shelter. They paid $400 daily for 20 Shelburne suites but balked at a $10,000 bill and rejected a phony bond. They complained of bad service, ate outside meals, and stocked rooms with biscuits, beans, peanuts, and chickens cooked in their rooms with hot plates.
