Six Semi-DeIirious Cubons

MIAMI, Fla, Aug. IT (AP).
-Sunburned and weak from
hunger and semidelirious from
lack Of water, six Cubans
reached Miami more than a
week after leaving their home
land in a 16-foot makeshift
sailboat.
All six required medical
treatment when a Coast Guard
cutter brought them ashore
yesterday evening. Two were
hospitalized, suffering from ex-
poSure and severe dehydration.
The other four, after treat
ment at jackson Memorial
Hospital. were taken to Opa-
Locka detention center for
questioning to determine
whether they will be admitted
to the United States as refu-
gees.
A pleasure cruiser, the Prix

the tiny skiff bobbing in the
Gulf Stream yesterday morn
ing. so miles northeast of
Miami.

AS the Prix pulled alongside.
three Of the Cubans were sit

The Americans gave the refu-
gees water and radioed the
Coast Guard. An 82-foot Coast
Guard cutter reached the scene
four hours later.
Two of the Cubans, clad only
in underclothing, were badly
sunburned. Their trousers had
been Sewed together with fish

oars in the boat for use as a

Two other were shirtless and
another had only a swimsuit.

Board 10 Study
Order on Red
ORegister

The Subversive Activities
Control Board will begin an
unusual hearing September IL
on whether it should order
William AIbertson of Brook
lyn, N. Y. to register as a
member of the United States
Communist Party.
A Justice Department spokes-
man said yesterday its lawyers
had been notified of the hear
ing date by the five-member
board.
Mr.. AlbertSon was among 10
persons against whom Attor-
ney General Robert F. Kenne-
dy filed a petition with the
SACB on May 81.
They were the first to be
formally labeled by the Attor-
ney General as individual par
ty members after an 11-year
court fight over the Subversive
Activities Control Act of 1850.
Last year the Supreme Court
upheld the constitutionality Of
the act and a board ruling that
the Communist Party must
register as a Soviet-controlled
organization.
Before moving against the 10
individuals, the Government
obtained Federal grand jury
indictments charging the party
with failing to register as an
organization and two men with
failing to register as officers
of the party.
But the act provides that
similar action against individ-
uals as party members can be
taken only if the board. after
public hearings, formally des-
ignates them as Communists.
orders them to register and the
order is disobeyed.
In his May 81 petition, Mr..
Kennedy said Mr.. Albertson.
So, and the nine others were
elected to the party's national
committee in December 1859,
and had held other party posi-
lions.
Justice Department officials
said a second hearing in the
series is scheduled tentatively
to begin September II for
Miriam Friedlander, described
in the petition as a New York
party committee member.
Both the AlbertSon and
Friedlander hearings have been
set before the full board in its
Washington headquarters.

Five Red Ships
Arrive in Cubu

A State Department spokes-
man said yesterday some five
ships from Communist bloc
countries have arrived in Cuba
recently, but the United States
does not know what the vessels
carried.
Presumably there were
some supplies and we suspect
that there were some additional
technicians that went into
Cuba" Press Officer Joseph

Mr.. Reap said he had no
confirmation of reports that
Russian soldiers had arrived in
Cuba. The Red Caribbean coun-
try has been receiving Commu-

MIR. Wolfkill said three Meo

thinking it was trap.

Development of American

II have been impressed for

crafts produced by handi-

uneven quality.
I feel many of these people
are hungry for artistic di-

in execution, but they do not
have the design talent"
