DETROIT (UPI)-The friendly sun-
drenched island beckoning to the winter-
weary Midwesterner looks like any
other tropical haven in the Caribbean
except for the inscription at the top of
the travel poster-"Cuba."
U.S. travel agents, who are busy
booking charter tours to the communist
island 90 miles from Florida, say it ap-
pears Cuba has a bright future as a
tourist attraction.
PUBLIC RESPONSE to the Cuba
tours that began late last year has been
"excellent," said Ted Malys, sales
manager for ,Sunflight Holidays in
suburban Dearborn..
,"It's a new destination," Malys said.
"There is a lot of curiosity." -
Sunflight is running the tours from
Detroit and Chicago, two of the three
U.S. cities from which travelers may
now leave for Cuba. Tours from New
York are being handled by another
travel firm.

are detailed in a multi-colored Sunflight
brochure describing Cuba as "that
large, lovely and seemingly unat-
tainable Caribbean island" that now "is
attainable once again."
The folder paints a picture of Cuba as
comfortable but somewhat spartan,
noting the island "is no longer the glit-
tering haunt of the very rich" and that
hotels are "at times somewhat basic
when compared to those of North
America."
While admitting the tours are
drawing mainly curiosity-seekers so
far, Jim McLaughlin, Sunflight's Mid-
west regional manager, said reaction
from travelers on tours last month has
fueled the company's confidence about
the viability of the venture.
AS FOR CUBA taking its place
among other popular tourist spots,
McLaughlin is cautious but optimistic.
"We are confident that it will be very
saleable," he said.
"But it's not going to replace the
Acapulcos and the Montego Bays just
yet."

PEORIA, Ill. (AP) - Diana Antle
says she was driving home for lunch
when "slowly coming right at me was
another car with a naked man sitting on
the hood.
"At first I thought the guy had found
a new way of streaking. Then I saw he
was arguing with a woman inside the
car," Miss Antle, 23, said Friday. "The
approaching car hit me and we locked
bumpers. The naked guy jumped off
and started running around the car,
trying to get inside to the woman who'
apparently had locked all the doors,
"FINALLY THE GUY broke a win-
dow, reached inside and opened the
door and dragged the woman out," said
Miss Antle. "He picked her up and
carried her kicking off down the
street."
When she got home she called police,
who said they found Robert Corder, 24,
and his girlfriend, Raynell Willis, 22,
lock ed in a bathroom of his apartment.
Police said Corder was booked on
charges of disorderly conduct and
resisting arrest.
Police said Corder and his girlfriend
had a quarrel "and when the dispute
turned physical, Miss Willis ran from
the apartment" with her unclad
boyfriend in pursuit.
"She jumped into her car, closed all
the windows and locked the doors,"
said police. "As she drove off, Corder
jumped on the hood."
