T 0 CUBAN STUDENTS
Cuban Consul Protests in
Statement Filed in
Atlanta Today
ATLANTA—(P)—Charges that
constls in Georgia méet with
impoliteness = and mistreatment
were before State Assistant At
torney General Thomas R. Gress
teday from Angel Perez, the Cu
ban consul. =
Senor Perez said Georgia re
fused to obey a treaty of reci
procity on taxes and consuls were
accorded none of the diplomatic
courtesies extended elsewhere.
“Here in Geosgia,” he wrote
Mr. Gress, ‘“foreigners are al
ways foreigners, the Cuvbans are
foreigns, and I, official consul, am
in the same -classification. On
account of this mistreatment and
this impoliteness we, official con
stls, find here, there are already
closed forever the consulates of
Greece, Great Britain and Germ
any. The Italian consulate will
be closed also at the end of this
month. | ® W
“With the exception of the hon.
orary agents of France, Belgium
and Panama, I will then be the
only official consul to exist in this
blessed state of Georgia, but ac
cording with the way, they think
here about official censuls, this
position of mine does not mean a
thing—l am compared exactly, or
maybe less, to anv grocery clerk.
Are Not Vagabonds
“1 ask and beg to this state
and to everyone here, a little
more courtesy and decéncy to
Cubans—they belong to decent
families—they are mnot _vaga.
bonds.” . Lo E
Senor Perez also charged thatl
Cubdn student in Atlanta have
been brutally treated and that on
one instance three of them were
whipped in the nearby Decatur
jail after being arrested on a
charge of swimming in their un
derwear in a lake at Oglethorpe
university with two girls who
were wearing bathing suits. Jail
officials denied the charge, but
Recorder Perry Harrison, who
fined the youths $lO each, said
they told him they had been whip

ed by prisoners at the jail. |
Senor Perez said that :unless,
the alleged mistreatment of stu-!

“where they can be treated with |
more decency and more_consider- I

Senor Perez also said he had
sent a copy of his letter to Mr.l
