U.S. District Judge Harold H. Greene ordered the government to grant visas to Nicaragua’s interior minister and three others barred from entering the country because of their membership in Communist or Communist-affiliated groups. Greene, acting on a federal appeals court ruling that overturned an earlier finding, ruled in Washington that Nicaraguan Interior Minister Tomas Borge, Cuban officials Leonor Rodriguez Lezcano and Olga Finley and former Italian Sen. Nino Pasti should be allowed to accept speaking engagements at the invitation of U.S. citizens. Greene held that the State Department violated a 1952 immigration act by barring the four simply because of their Communist affiliations.
