ternity, today issued a call to the
Fraternity’s 56th Anniversary Con
vention to be held at Deshler-
Hilton Hotel in Columbus, Ohio,
December 26-29.
“We meet at a time of great
stress for our nation and our
world,” declared President Hale.
“As people who also sing Amer
ica we can ill afford to hold our
selves from the hard thinking and
the hard work which is necessary
if our nation is to provide spirit
ual and moral leadership in world
affairs. This, in essence, is why
we selected as the theme of the
1962 Convention, ‘Building A
Great Nation Through Building A
Great Fraternity’.”
The Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity
was founded at Cornell University
in 1906. It is the oldest of the
college Greek Letter organizations

The Fraternity is now open to all

More Than Profits
In the past 18 months a single
American airline has brought 100,-
000 Cubans out of Castro’s national
concentration camp. Other tens
of thousands of Cubans have been
waiting their turn to flee from
slavery to freedom, difficult as life
is for a stranger in a foreign land.
But now their hopes are blasted —
the flights ended when Castro an
nounced that any aircraft other
than Communist bound for his is
land would be shot down.
But the story should not be for
gotten. The Portland Oregonian
tells it well: “The Cuban airlift
has been one of the most heart
warming and least-known aspects
of the bloody Castro revolution.
One of the heroes of the story has
been a private company, Pan Am
erican Airways, whose stockhold
ers have picked up the tab for the
many millions of dollars it has cost
to keep open the 220-mile high road
to freedom between Havana and
Miami. Long after other U.S. and
foreign air carriers halted their
unprofitable Cuba-Florida service,
Pan Am has continued to fly two
round trip jetliners daily on the
route. Predictably enough, the
Thursday, Dec. 27, 1963
Havana-bound planes usually have
been empty, a#d every seat full on
the return trip. The catch is that
the airline has been getting all its
revenue from this route in pesos
which are worthless outside of Cu
ba. The Miami News recently
estimated the company’s losses on
the route, including the rent it
must pay for the use of the Hav
ana airport and terminal facili
ties, at about $3,000 a day. But
it has kept the flights going at
the urging of various governments
and refugee agencies.”
