Cuba Sailors Freed Seen As Hopeful Sign In U S Ties
Four U S sailors detained after straying into Cuban waters were released after 24 hours and expected to return to the United States soon. Officials say Cuba aims to show it can cooperate with the Reagan administration and shift blame to Washington for strained relations. The sailors from USS Raleigh were in eastern Cuba when captured and later handed to the American diplomatic mission in Havana. The men are Hal Carlson, Timothy L. van Engelenhaven, Michael G. Kurchock, and Ottie L. Craycraft.
