Event	(part 1) Issues about students' passsports returning from Castro's Cuba
Background	Phillip Abbott Luce of the Executive Committee of the Student Committee for travel to Cuba, served as leader and one of several spokespersons, including Eddie Lemansky took students to Cuba, including eleven black people. Luce and Albert Maher defied the State Department ban on travel to Cuba. Once they return, they were informed that their passports were temporarily invalidated. One critical issue was raised when asked about the expenses of the trip, about which the witnesses denied that they were expected by the Cuban Government to disseminate in the United States propaganda favorable to the Communist regime in Cuba and in other countries. As a result, several students were handed a subpoena to appear before the House of Un-American Activities Committee.
