Imitators Of Columbus

A STRANGE exodus from Europe to Latin-
America is in progress,
་
In small boats, hundreds of men, women and children are fleeing for refuge in a new land, as the Pilgrims, Puritans and other groups did when the North American continent was first opened up.
Some brave the dangers of the Atlantic to escape the aftermath of World War 11. Others hope to avoid being caught in World War II, which they fear is in the making.
In the happier days of the '80s, crossing the Atlantic from Europe to South America in a small boat was left to magazine writers seeking material or to foolhardy adventurers. Now n stream of tiny craft carries frightened Europeans to their imagined. Innd of promise in the Latin- American continent.
Nino Norwegians who escaped from jail in their fatherland, where they were serving terms for quisling activities, left Bergen in a 79-foot steel bargo, the Solbris, more than a year ago. They fought for their liberty from a Brazilian prison when the Oslo government started ex- tradition' proceedings and carried them to the supreme court. The proceedings were quashed. The hardy Scandinavians have just roached Buenos Aires.
