COMMISSIONER WINSTON URGES ACTION ON REFUGEE STATUS

The economy of the United States is the loser when Cuban refugee skilled manpower cannot be used because of the "temporary guest" or "parolee" status of most refugees, Welfare Commission Ellen Winston testified at a hearing on the Cuban Refugee Program in Washington, conducted by the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Problems of Refugees and Escapees. Senator Edward M. Kennedy, Massachusetts, is Subcommittee Chairman. Mrs. Winston expressed the hope "that the Congress can take a good look at this problem, with the view of alleviating the situation as soon as possible." She said: "The lack of a more substantial immigration status is becoming an increasing hardship to the refugees. To adjust their status they must leave this country and re-enter with a permanent resident visa. This is a costly process. As the refugees remain, their English improves, they become more accustomed to our way of life and they seek to use their skills in the best way possible. Often the way to the top is barred by a licensing requirement or a certification process calling for the applicant to be either a citizen or permanent resident. The parolee can be neither, and so he must be burdened with this economic handicap."

REFUGEE PROGRAM IS PRESERVING THE FAMILY

Editorial, Miami Herald: “Of the Cubans who have registered at the Refugee Center the great majority have spread out over the U.S. *** Resettlement is not a helter-skelter thing. Nor is it a heavy-handed government operation. * * * Service is channeled through church organizations ***. Cubans eligible to come here under the present program are children of adults who have been in this country, or parents of children who fled earlier from Castro. *** Thus the program is preserving the family. And it is also preserving in political freedom the best representatives of a people who have proved diligent and lawabiding almost without exception in their new home. *** The 100,000th resettled refugee is a rare landmark-a human one in a program of compassion of which the American people may well feel proud."

THOUSAND CHILDREN REUNITED WITH PARENTS IN CURRENT PHASE OF PROGRAM

More than 1,000 Cuban "unaccompanied children" cared for under the Cuban Refugee Program have been reunited with their parents since the start of the family reunion phase of the Program in the fall of 1965. Mr. and Mrs. Idelfonso Cabrera, who arrived by airlift April 1, and went on five days later to resettlement in Denver, Colo., are the parents involved in the 1,000th reunion of this type. They had not seen since May 1962 their son, Julio Carlos, now 15, and daughter, Aida Maria, 13, who had been sent to the U.S. at that time to escape communist indoctrination. Both were cared for under Catholic auspices, the former in a foster home at Littleton, Colo., and the latter in the Queen of Heaven home, Denver. Arriving with Mr. and Mrs. Cabrera were two daughters, Lourdes, 9, and Maria Elena, 7, and two maternal aunts, Gracia Hinze, 63, and Dulce Hinze, 68. Mr. Cabrera is a certified public account, a 1940 graduate of the University of Havana. The resettlement was arranged through the National Catholic Welfare Conference.

Some 12,000 children came unaccompanied to the U.S. and 8,900 of them have been under the government-financed program of care. The total under care now is below 1,000, the number having dropped in recent years as parents reached this country-1,000 since last fall.

ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY ATTEND 12TH SESSION OF CLASSES FOR CUBAN EXILE PHYSICIANS

The University of Miami Postgraudate Medical Program For Cuban Physicians has so far provided instruction for 1,263 of the 1,600 physicians known to have fled from Castro's communism, according to Dr. Rafael A. Penalver, Associate Director of the Program, as quoted in the Medical Tribune, published in New York City, Indicating his expectation that many more will reach the U.S., he

told The Tribune that the Castro government continues to approve the exodus because physicians "still have more influence with the people than anyone else except priests." Dr. Penalver, formerly of Cuba, said 32 newly-exiled physicians have come to his office in recent months. Seven physicians arrived by airlift in one week recently. Currently enrolled in the 12th session of the program are 120 Cuban physicians.

The program for doctors was set up with support from the Cuban Refugee Program, the American Medical Association, other agencies, businesses and friends. It offers 100 or more lectures in 12 weeks and is intended to familiarize Cubans with the multiple-choice type questionnaire on medical knowledge that the Educational Council For Foreign Medical Graduates uses in the examination it offers for certification of doctors from other countries. During the lectures 22 hours a week there is simultaneous translation to Spanish by physicians. In another phase of the program English medical terminology and basic conversational English are taught.

Replies to questionnaires sent those who have completed the program in the last five years show that everyone of the 719 who qualified for the ECFMG certificate is active in his profession, on medical school faculties, hospital staffs, or in private practice where they can qualify for such practice under state law. The doctors are on duty in 35 states. Sixty percent are 35 to 45 years old; 68 percent

practiced more than 15 years in Cuba.

ANDERSON, IND., RESIDENTS TOLD OF RESETTLEMENT PLANS

All persons in the community who wish to help resettle Cuban refugees will have a chance to do so by cooperating with the new Refugee Resettlement Commission, according to Anderson, Ind., newspapers, The Herald and The Bulletin. Announcement of the Commission, formed under auspices of the Anderson Association of Churches, was made in RE-CAP in April. The newspapers state:

"The Commission will have charge of bringing more families who have fled communist Cuba to the local area to begin a new life. Sponsors must provide living quarters, household goods, food and other necessities, must find the breadwinners a job, and provide encouragement and friendship necessary to see the families through the tremendous problems they face settling in a new and strange way of life, until they are self-supporting. Among the duties of the new Commission will be the arranging of sponsors for refugees desiring to come here.

"Officials of the plan state that the influx of foreign families will not take jobs from local workers nor create a welfare problem, because the sponsor provides support until the family can support itself; the number of workers in each family is small; they will spend money, which in turn creates more jobs for more people. * * *

"The organization is formed because a growing number of groups and individuals have expressed a desire to help with the resettlement of refugees from Castro's Cuba, Church Assocation officials said. At present four Cuban refugee families are residing here, brought to the city by various sponsors. One family established itself after being given a job. Another was sponsored by the First Baptist Church, a second by the Park Place Methodist Church, and the newest by the South Meridan Church of God."

"WE KNOW THE ENEMY," WRITE CUBANS, SENDING MEDAL TO AMERICAN WOUNDED IN VIET NAM

An American Marine, wounded in Viet Nam, has received a medal and a message from Cuban refugees in Miami. The message: "Please accept this medal in recognition for your services in Viet Nam *** As in the case of each soldier fighting to preserve democracy, we consider you a son or brother and are very proud of your sacrifice and courage. We know, by our bitter experience, the enemy. In our country today, under communism, human rights do not exist * * * God bless you, Peter." The recipient, now recovered from a shrapnel wound and reassigned to service, is L/Cpl. Peter G. Parrott, aged 22, son of Mrs. Mary Ann Parrott, chief nurse in the medical service clinic of the Cuban Refugee Center. Her Cuban associates, doctors, dentists, nurses and other staff personnel, prepared the medal, properly inscribed, which carries on one side the red, white and blue Cuban flag. Their signatures went with the message.

"DIPLOMAS OF GRATITUDE” AWARDED BY DENVER CUBANS

"Diplomas of Gratitude" are a grateful way Cubans have of telling American friends how appreciative they are for all that has been done for them in their exile. The Cuban Circle of Denver developed the idea and wrote President Johnson about it, expressing hope that he might join them May 22 when they observed the Cuban Independence Day and awarded diplomas to their Colorado friends so they "will know our thankfulness for welcome and opportunities given us." The President was further told: "We are paying back these opportunities by being respectful, thankful, and doing our best to deserve all the good things received from your people and your government." Abraham U. Broche, the Circle's President, signed the letter. Colorado Cubans had been requested to name Americans meriting the diplomas, and 250 diplomas were given out. Juan F. Alonso-Barrios, reporting for the Circle's board of directors, states that more than 1,000 persons attended the ceremony, the event was well covered by Denver newspapers and "as a result some new opportunities of employment for Cubans have been opened up, and a very deep understanding and friendship has been established between Colorado people and the Cuban community."

The Denver ceremony was one of many scheduled in the U.S. by Cuban groups in memory of their homeland's long struggle for enduring democracy. The gatherings also emphasized the continuing need for Cubans to be helping Cubans as the U.S. airlift from Cuba brings more and more refugees. Already this assistance, linked with the helpfulness of American sponsors and employers, has played a significant part in the success of resettlement since the family reunion phase of the Cuban Refugee Program began late in 1965. Arrivals in late weeks have brought numbers of less closely related Cubans, indicating a gradual change-over from the top priority immediate relatives of refugees now in the U.S. to persons not so immediate in relationship, yet in many cases still "blood-related." The so-called A priority refugees have continued to be mixed in with the next category cases.

GREAT FALLS WRITES OF APPRECIATION FOR HAVING "LEARNED" FROM CUBAN REFUGEES

Cuban refugees make profound impressions on communities in which they study and work. Great Falls, Mont., might seem an unlikely place for Cuban-American rapport, but the daily newspaper there looks back with friendly comment on the year that 28 refugees studied there. Says the Leader: "Undoubtedly Great Falls learned many things from the Cuban visitors to our city when the College of Great Falls offered academic training to equip them for employment. Among things local citizens learned were the astonishing and tragic circumstances from which these educated men had been forced to flee. The Great Falls reader, therefore, is not surprised at the plight of refugees now trying to leave Cuban shores. *** Recalling the spirit, the nobility of mind, the integrity of our recent Cuban visitors, we know that the indignity heaped upon these people has an especially important meaning for our community. *** We are glad to have been of some help, and hope that American cities will continue to answer the President's request that the entire nation act in behalf of the refugees. *** The coming of free men to American shores is not a real burden in the final analysis, but an asset. It always has been. Castro's action is his own loss."

Great Falls undoubtedly speaks for the seven other college areas where Cubans have studied, and from which several hundred are now scattered to positions of community leadership as teachers, and in other professions.

THEIR CHURCH-SPONSORS HONOR REFUGEES WHO GAIN CITIZENSHIP;
FLAG FROM CAPITOL GIVEN

In the Re-Cap issue one year ago this month the picture of the Arthur E. Brice family, Medina, Ohio, was captioned "Citizenship Next." Now comes word that these Cubans have become U.S. citizens. Members of their sponsoring organization, the Willoughby Hills Methodist Church, were present in court for the naturalization formality and have also accorded them special recognition in a church service ceremony. Mr. Brice writes about it to Re-Cap, as follows: "During the February 20 service we were called to the altar and, after a salutation by Rev. William D. Griffith, he announced a surprise. Rep. William Stanton, of this congressional district, had made a special trip here from Washington and presented us with a flag that had flown over the Capitol! We have a letter signed by the Architect of the Capitol to prove it. *** We express to these fine people our eternal gratitude for their kindness to us." Mr. Brice, now a teacher at Medina Junior High School, was a labor relations attorney for a Cuban sugar
