...special three-judge federal court in Hartford this winter. Since the case involves a Constitutional right, an appeal from this court goes directly to the Supreme Court. The argument against the government involves three basic questions. First, does the Secretary of State have the statutory authority to limit the travel of an American citizen, and, if he does, is such an authority constitutional? Second, is there (as Secretary Rusk claims) an inherent executive power to control travel? And, third, does a legitimate state of national emergency now exist...
Fifty-nine American students who visited Cuba ths summer are testing the travel ban in a manner tactically different from the approaches chosen by Worthy and Zemel. Early in 1962, Castro issued an invitation to the Natonal Student Association. Apparently he felt that a student visit would improve the Cuban image in the eyes of the American public. Although NSA declined the invitation, Castro did not withdraw it. Last fall, a group in New York calling themselves the Ad Hoc Student Committee for Travel to Cuba set about organizing a trip to the island. The Committee finally sent fifty-nine...
...date, three of the students who made the trip and a fourth who helped plan it have been indicted for traveling to Cuba and for "conspiring to effectuate such travel." By prosecuting only four of the people involved the Department of Justice is apparently attempting to establish judicial precedent for the treatment of future travel-ban abusers. The students' defense will take a line similar to the one that Zemel will use. But there is an additional issue involved here. While Zemel never left the United States and Worthy was not carrying a passport, the fifty-nine students were...
...movements to the "New York City area." Hoping to make money to pay for their defense and to present their case to the public in the best possible light, the four had accepted speaking engagements at universities around the country. The defense has moved for reconsideration of the local travel restriction, stating that since "bail is limited to providing assurance that the accused will appear for trial . . . [the travel restriction] deprives them of liberty without due process of law." The prosecution argues (accurately enough) that the defendants hope to arouse public ire against the Cuban travel ban. "The court need...
...legal issues aside, the protests seem to have been prompted by a feeling that the travel ban stands as a patently hypocritical smear on the face of the Free World. In an article in the Brandeis Justice, Martin Nicolaus, one of the fifty-nine students, tells of meeting an East German technician on the flight from Prague to Havana. The German didn't understand why Americans had to fly to Prague to get to Havana. When the travel ban was explained to him, he smiled understandingly; "Ah, it is clear. It is as if I wanted to travel to West...
