We had so little food, we de-
cided to try and build ourselves
up for the trip. For that reason
there was very little food we could
save from our ration. But we did
manage to put some aside. This
we hid also.
The Preparations
AS soon as we had enough gas
hidden our plans were complete.
Except for a dark night. I Sc
lected a night and told my friends
we could not wait any longer. The

On the sixth day, my boy Juan,
had an asthma attack. He tore
at his mothers breast, and begged
and pleaded for water. He grew
very Ill. My smaller boy Manuel
grew sick too. All Of US looked
yellow now
That night I saw a light. It
was blinking at US far in the
distance. The light came closer
and closer, but we were too weak
to do anything. The morning Of
the 7th day Juan became un-
conscious.
Slowly we reached the light. 1t
was in the water there was
no one in it. But looking off in
the distance we saw land.
A Boot to the Rescue
A large boat, used for private
fishing parties. was coming to-
wards us. I took my handkerchief
and tried to signal. There we're
three men in the boat, they came
alongside.

took my son in my arms and
held him out to the men so they
would understand he was so very
sick.
One man rushed to the radio
and called the Coast Guard. We
drank the water, a little at time
Juan could not drink the water
he had waited for so long.
The fishermen attached a rope
to our boat and pulled us in.
Two ambulances were waiting. I
felt happy inside. I knew we were
safe. AS we reached the shore,
my little Juan died in my wife's
arms. My wife, holding him, saw
he was dead.
turned at her cry. I saw he
was unconscious but I would not
believe he was gone. I believed
there was still a little life left.
They put him into the ambulance
and rushed away.
They helped us from the boat
Immediately they took us to the
hospital at Homestead. The doctor
did all he could to make my little
boy live again.
After awhile he shook his head
and placed his hand on my shoul-
der. 1 understood. My Juan, the
son named for me. was dead. I
grieved.

was overcast. This was a sign
to us that God was on our side.
We had lost our old enemies,
high winds and rough sea. The
sea was flat and calm. 1t was
impossible to guess how far we
had Travelled. I couldn't even
judge our speed forward. I could
only hope that land was close.
One thing that kept us a little
from our depression was that we
had to try to keep the children
amused. 1 guess we made up a
name for every wave that passed
US. Every porpoise around us be-
came their friends.
We finished the food and water
that night.
Around 9 o'clock on the fourth
day. going by the sun. the man on
watch saw a ship. We strained
our eyes but we could not tell
you what kind. They saw us and
headed straight for US, although
we did not signal them. AS they
drew closer we were struck with
terror. 1t was a Russian cargo
boat.
They came right up to US. They
didn't speak at all. I saw men
standing along the edge Of the
ship looking down at US. They
did nothing. They just looked at
us, not saying anything.
A Lost Appeal
We were very thirsty, decided
to make a plea for water, what
ever the danger.

them that we needed water. They
held up water containers and I
put my hands out. Then I heard
a roar Of laughter and they shook
their fingers at me. AS you do

and laughing. Then they pointed
to the bottom of the sea- They
motioned to us that we would die
out here, we would go down or
die of thirst. They stayed little
longer pointing at us and haunting
us.
Then they left us. their laughter
ringing in our ears.
We now had a problem besides
the elements, hunger and thirst.
We knew they had a radio on
board, would they send a message
that we be picked up by Cuban
gunboats? If so, We were surely
to die.
How close were we to Miami?
Would a friendly ship sight us?
All these things ran through oul
minds. But we did not say them
to each other. Instead we tolc
each other it would be very soor
now we would be saved.

leaving. They might act diff
ferently and an informer would
report it. We could not wait.
1 went fishing as usual that
day. 1 cleaned my boat and left
1t as I always did. I waited until
dusk and went back to the boat.
I headed for the secret cove where
the others were waiting.
That same morning my wife
and sons had left the home where
we lived. She told the militia man
they were going to visit relatives,
that her cousin was coming to
get her. My friend had secured
a car and he picked them up.
He drove as far as he could. until
the road ended at the mountains.
They left the car there, another
friend was waiting. All day they
walked. Crossing the mountains
with my wife and babies. Making
their way to the meeting place.
They had to hide from the militia
and keep the babies still. 1t was
a hard walk even for a man.
My wife is tiny, under 5 feet
and frail. She was scratched and
bleeding when they arrived. Her
feet and legs were swollen from
insect bites, but she didn't COM
plain.
The night was very dark.
No matter what was ahead I
had my family with me. No mat
ter what happened to us it would
be better than what we left be-
hind us. AS I looked at the other
mems faces I felt sad inside.
Three had to leave their families
behind. They were dead men If
they stayed.
A Composs-LuckiIy
We showed off and turned
way from our homeland.
One of the men pressed COM

available for all. The militia had
confiScated all of them long be-

SINGAPORE.-Now that Indo-
nesia has West New Guinea
tucked safely under its wing,
President Sukarno's government
is expected to focus its long
overdue attention on the country's
grave economic condition.
1t is a mountainous task, and
Mr.. Sukarno will be seeking help
from both the Communist bloc
and the democracies.
A White House mission to Indo-
neSia, sent out as a result Of Mr..
Sukarno's visit to Washington in
April, 1861, has now recommended
some multinational credit under
pinning for Indonesia'S limping
eight-year plan. If 1t is forthcom-
ing, it could start the urgently
needed process Of Indonesian re-
covery.
Dovetailing with the imminent
creation Of the new state Of Ma
laysia, Indonesia's northern
neighbor. it might also spark q
prosperity cycle in the whole area.
That, at least, Is the hope in
business circles in this trading
port-city.
If the mobilization Of manpower
and resources, which 1ndonesia
has been lavishing on her New
Guinea campaign, can now be re-
directed toward increased produc-
ton and increased circulation Of
goods between Indonesia and
Malaga, Singapore and Borneo
(Which will become Malayasia) I,
this could leaven the entire re-
gion's economic atmosphere.
The other side Of the coin Is
the fact that American aid would
be indirectly assisting in the de-
velopment of what might become
Asia's largest socialist state, and
an avowed neutral" whom many
Westerners believe leans more to-
ward the Communist camp than
the democracies.
Credits From China
It is not insignificant that just
as details of the United States
proposed aid plan were made pub
lie, a group of Communist Chi
nese left Jakarta for Peking, hav-
ing signed an agreement which
will provide Indonesia with credits
amounting to more than $50 mil
lion. This Is to cover the cost
Of supplying and installing Chi
neSe textile factories in Indonesia.
Since 1858, Indonesia has re-
ceived about $3.50 million in eco
nomic aid from various countries
in the Communist bloc. More than
half came from the Soviet Union,
which has also supplied hundreds
of millions of dollars in arms
credits for IndoneSia's campaign
to take New Guinea from the
Dutch.
Over the last IL years, the
Western bloc has given Indonesia

AS Told to MariIyn Lane

MIAMI (AP) What I am going
to tell you is the truth. I swear it.
To safeguard others in Cuba
who are trying to get out I must
change some information on our
departure from Cuban shores.
Also I must leave out the place
we left and certain incidents that
occurred before our leaving. Other
than these things, all the facts
are true.
If I were to mention the small
town that we come from, all of
those even remotely connected
with us would be imprisoned.
We are hungry in Cuba.
Our rations consist only Of
beans and rice, the only vegeta-
bles we see are potatoes, these
only once In awhile. All Of us
were undernourished. Adults could
get along on the food available
=. but babies need special foods.
They need fruit. which we never
see. milk, which is scarce. and
meat.
But worst of all. there is no
medicine.
The only medicine you are al
lowed. II you are sick, is one
aspirin. People die on the operat-
ing tables because Of the lack of
plasma. There are no medicines
to stop bleeding and many in
jured people bleed to death in
side.
Children Are Hungry
My boys were going hungry.
Little Juan, 4. refused beans and
rice he was hungry for food.
He became thin. He had an at
tack of asthma and we were
helpless we could not get
the medicine he needed. 1t was
while he was sick that I decided
to make plans to leave. We must
leave as soon as he got well.
Ny other son, Manuel, would
eat beans and rice. he was only
2. but strong. I knew soon he
too would refuse to eat.

fore. I had never tried such q
trip. I fished only close to the
shores and until Fidel never even
thought Of leaving Cuba.
was told that I must joir
the militia. Irefused. They wanted
me to participate in the Com
munist Party. I refused. I am q
very religious man. I could not
denounce my God. 1t wasn't Just
me. there were hundreds Of US
who refused. Our days were num-
bered.
