1,200 Refugees Are Sailing To Florida
ABOARD SHIRLEY LYKES (UPI) — This cargo ship steamed today toward Port Everglades, Fla., carrying 1,170 Cuban refugees—the largest single group Fidel Castro has allowed to leave’ his Communist island.
The refugees left behind them all their wordly belongings except what each of them could carry in one small suitcase. “Thank God! Thank God!” said one elderly woman boarding the 495-foot freighter in Havana Thursday, as she knelt to embrace four of her grandsons. “No,” said a member of the Cuban Red Cross at the head of the gangway. “Thank Fidel Castro?’ Red Cross, immigration, health and other federal authorities wait-

ed to process the refugees debarking from the ship, put them on buses and speed them 20 miles south to Miami, where a mass welcome awaited them in the city baseball stadium. Another Flight Scheduled A Pan American World Ait-ways DC6B was to fly another load of prisoner ransom supplies to Havana. and return sometime in the afternoon with about 100 more refugees. It was the fourth such flight in the past two weeks. The refugees coming to Florida today increased to about 3,200 the total number permitted to leave Cuba since just before Christmas, when Castro released the 1,113 captives of the abortive 1961 invasion in exchange for $53 million in ransom goods. The Shirley Lykes left Havana shortly after 7 p.m. Thursday, carrying in its five cargo areas 390 men 527 women and 253 children. Among the refugees were 17 ailing persons, 13 of them on stretchers. The captain said there was no evidence of communicable disease among the passengers. Also among the refugees were some 200 "hardship cases," mostly aged and infirm people unable to get adequate medical attention in Cuba. The bulk of the Cubans, how-

ever, were allowed to leave as relatives of the invasion captives. They lined up at dockside in Havana early Thursday morning, waiting to board the new $lO million ship. Red Cross Team Aboard A 15-man Red Cross team was aboard the vessel to help the refugees in the crossing. A plane took cots and blankets to Cuba to accommodate the refugees on the ship when it was announced by the Swiss Embassy in Havana, which handles U.S. affairs in Cuba, that arrangements been made to transport the load of exiles. The Shirley Lykes, donated to the Red Cross by an association of steamship lines to carry a load of ransom goods to Cuba, sailed for Havana a week ago carrying some 7,000 tons of medical supplies and foodstuffs. The exodus of exiles from Cuba started Dec. 23-24 with the release of the invasion prisoners, who were flown to Florida. On Dec. 27, the vessel African Pilot returned from the first sea-borne ransom run to Cuba, carrying 922 invaders’ relatives. In the past two weeks, three planeloads of Cubans and CubanAmericans, totaling about 275 people, have arrived from Cuba. I Modern Etiquette I i By Roberta Lee I

Would it be proper for me to phone him? A. You have a perfect right to phone him just once to ask whether or not he is ill. At least, from the trend of this conversation, you’ll learn what’s what. Q. It is correct for an employer to introduce his secretary to a caller by saying, “Mr. Hall, this is my secretary.

While House Guide Book Earns $164,000 WASHINGTON (UPI) — The White House guide book, illustrating the changes in the executive mansion made by Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy’s restoration project, has earned nearly $164,000 during its first six months on sale. Published by the White House Historical Association, the 132page book has been on sale since July 4,1962. The association was established by Mrs. Kennedy to further the project and is under the direction of David E. Finley, chairman of the group’s board of directors. The White House Thursday, after an audit of the association’s books, said the best selling guide book, now in its third edition, had earned $163,668.17 since it first went on sale. The profits, Finley said, would be used to publish more books about the White House and help pay for further purchases of historical items such as paintings and furniture needed in restoration of the executive mansion.

Huge Numbers Racket Raid In Chicago CHICAGO (UPI) - Internal Revenue Service agents and city police raided a $3 million numbers racket Thursday night in the biggest “policy” crackdown since the World War II reign of the Jobes brothers. It was believed the raid struck at the heart of the crime syndicate and would halt—at least temporarily—the numbers racket in Chicago. U.S. Dist. Atty. James P. O'Brien said the raids climaxed 18 months of investigation by his office and the police intelligence division. A force of 60 policemen and a dozen IRS agents raided the headquarters and three collection centers of the “Cadillac” policy wheel, which police said had been flourishing on the South Side. Thirty men were arrested and hauled before a federal grand jury which had been empaneled to aid in the investigation of the operation. “It looks very promising,” police Capt. William Duffy said of possible indictments. ‘"Diere is a suggestion that it’s a crime syndicate operation.” Duffy said intelligence officers believed it was “by far the largest numbers operation in Chicago,” grossing about $3 million a year and employing about 100 runners in its daily operation. Authorities described “policy” as operating this way: Regular collectors, or “runners,” sell slips of paper with numbers on them at prices ranging from 5 cents to sl. The bettors choose any combination of three numbers on the cards, which then are returned to the collection offices. Each day, the ring obtains the “handle,” or total proceeds bet, at a particular race track in the United States. If the bettor’s choice of the three numbers all appear in the figures of the track’s proceeds, he wins. Three Jones brothers ruled Chicago’s “policy” games during World War 11, but they were pushed out by the West Side mob, headed by the five Manno brothers, through a series of bombings and a kidnaping. The Mannos, along with Sam Pardy, allegedly controlled the "policy” racket until 1953 when they were indicted for evading $1.7 million in income taxes. The federal indictment charged the wheel, known as the ErieBuffalo, took in a total of $15.6 million from 1948 to 1950. O’Brien said the “Cadillac" wheel was typical of the numbers racket imported into Chicago from New York a few years ago. He said “extensive investigation” would continue in the case before actions were sought in federal court. If you have something to sell or trade — use the Democrat Want ads — they get BIG results.
