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.

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.

(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." Hey!
