Title: Polish passengers on the Batory jump ship in London
Contributor: Toronto Telegram
Description: "Polish passengers on the Batory jump ship in London. Twenty-four passengers on a pleasure cruise from behind the Iron Curtain have "jumped ship" in London. Some have asked for political asylum -- and 11 more are seeking asylum in Denmark. The 14,287-ton Polish liner Batory, with 400 passengers, docked at Greenwich last Friday. She sailed again on Sunday night for Amsterdam, but the visit there was cancelled because of bad weather, and the ship called at Copenhagen instead. In London, the Home Office said last night: "Seven Poles have applied to us for long-term extensions of their permits for a variety of reasons, some political. Others have been given short-term extensions, for reasons of ill-health, or because they want to stay longer with relatives." Two of the refugees, Mr. Stefan Berlinski, a 32-year-old dentist, and his 27-year-old wife Czeslawa, a dental mechanic, said "We don't want to go back to Poland. Life is impossible under the Communists. We borrowed money from all our friends for the cruise fare, just to get away." Ten Poles of German extraction sought the help of the German Embassy in London. An official said: "All wanted to be repatriated to Western Germany, where they have relatives. We have sent them there." Picture shows: Mr. Stefan Berlinski and his wife Czeslawa who jumped ship in London."
