tro took the oath of allegiance at
the Dade County Auditorium
along with 414 others.
Castro, 48, renounced her
Cuban citizenship with a simple
“I do” after the oath of alle
giance was read by a federal
court judge.
A Miami resident since 1964,
Castro could have become a
citizen much earlier, but said she
wanted to be sure she was mak
ing the right decision. Five years
of U.S. residence are required
for eligiblibility for citizenship.
“I wanted to participate fully
in the American way of living,”
she said. “I waited a long time
for this. It’s hard to tell you how
I feel inside right now. I wanted
to be sure this is what I w'ant for
myself, and I know this is what I
want.”
Castro said her heart will re
main in Cuba despite her deci
sion to become an American.
“Every Cuban living has a de
sire to go back home,” she said.
“We have the faith and want to
return to our country. If every
thing changes there and we find
freedom, I will go back. My
heart is there. My life is here.”
Castro said she is still bitter
about her brother, with whom
she has not spoken in 15 years.
“I don’t care what he says or
what he thinks. It’s not his busi
ness,” she said.

Two killed in Alabama
when coal train derails

MANOR EAST III
823-8300
United Press International
BROOKWOOD, Ala. —A 10-
car coal train derailed on a
stretch of weak track early
Thursday, smashing the two en
gines into a sea of mud and kill
ing two crewmen. The engineer
was trapped for seven hours be
fore rescuers freed him with an
acetylene torch.
The only survivor of the de
railment of the Louisville and
Nashville freight train, Edward
Wallace, 55, of Northport, Ala.,
was flown by police helicopter to
Druid City Hospital in Tusca
loosa, where his condition was
reported as guarded.
A surgeon had stood by to
amputate his legs if rescuers had
not been able to free them from
the smashed door of the lead en
gine, which was about three-
fourths buried in the quagmire.
Dr. Philip Bobo, a specialist in
emergency medicine who had
flown by helicopter, said Wal
lace’s worst injury was a frac
tured small bone in one leg.
“His primary problem is
hypothermia (a lowering of
body temperature),” he said.
Two other engineers on the
train, which was carrying coal
from Birmingham to Holt, died
in the wreckage. They were not
immediately identified.
Bobo said one man was killed
instantly when he was crushed
under tons of metal and mud.
The other man lived for about a
half-hour and talked with para
medics as they tried to free him
and Wallace from the debris.
However, he died before re
scuers could reach him.
The train — two engines,
seven cars of coal and a caboose
— derailed after it went down an
incline in the wooded foothills of
west central Alabama and hit a
level stretch of track that had
been weakened by recent heavy
rains and flooding. It was going
about 25 mph, officials said.
