Mr. and Mrs. Mikulski Get Cuban Dream Trip
JOAN McCLURE
How would you like a 10-day trip to Havana at full expense of the Cuban government, with a private car and chauffeur at your disposal?
This isn't a dream, and it can be verified by Richard A. Mikulski, assistant professor of Spanish, who with four other Americans attended a congress of writers on Jose Marti, father of Cuban independence.
The Cubans are holding a celebration of the 100th year of Sr. Marti's birth throughout this year, and invited 65 guests to the writer's congress Feb. 18-28.
Mr. and Mrs. Mikulski, with the other visitors, were met at the airport by a government limousine, and whisked through customs to the luxurious Hotel Comodoro.
Their activities included a week of discussion sessions on the liberator's writing; a reception by Maj. Gen. Fulgencio Batista, Cuban dictator; a carnival marking the beginning of the Lenten season; a visit to the house where Sr. Marti was born; the University of Havana, and endless dinners and parties.
Cuba plans to establish a "Marti chair" in each country in honor of her liberator. Statues of the great man have been erected throughout the country.
The Cuban people received the visiting delegates royally. One of the weekends was spent on a sugar plantation where they ate a native dinner, called a "Creole Feast".
Mr. Mikulski read a paper on Jose Marti's political ideas relating to the Cuban revolt during one of the discussion sessions. He was elected to the Eloy Alfaro International foundation for work he has done writing articles on Cuban liberators.
Jose Marti was a reporter in the U.S. for many years, and sent articles on all phases of life to South America, promoting relations between the two. He set up schools
