A Canadian tour company canceled planned cruises to Cuba because of threats of violence and a bomb scare. The inaugural cruise was scheduled to stop in Havana Nov. 18, but was put on indefinite hold because the company could not guarantee the safety of its passengers and crew. More than 400 Americans were booked for the trip, which the company believes does not violate the U.S. ban on travel to Cuba. Anti-Castro Cuban exiles were blamed for the threats.

Phoning friends or family in Cuba over the holidays will be difficult now that the Cuban government has announced a severing of telephone service with the U.S. effective Dec. 16. The action follows the failure of U.S. telephone companies to pay a ten percent surcharge put in place at the end of October. The last time such a ban was enacted it lasted a year, but it was easily circumvented by routing calls through a third country. This time authorities have threatened to eliminate that option.
