WORLD Cuba greets grandmoms as heroes GERARDO TENA Agence France-Presse HAVANA Thousands of flag ing Cubans gave Elian Gonzalez's grandmothers a hero's welcome yesterday, even though the two women returned here empty-handed after a nineday campaign in the United States urging the boy's return to his father. Elian's father, Juan Miguel Gonzalez, and the rest of the boy's Cuban family were on hand to greet Raquel Rodriguez and Mariela Quintana at the airport. And thousands of Cubans lined streets near the airport, as the women sat in the back of a convertible, tearfully waving to well-wishers in the fierce international custody battle over the 6- year-old child. "Pioneers, students, young people, mothers, grandmothers, workers, housewives, revolutionaries" were invited to take to the streets, according to an official statement. The parade ended at a convention centre where the women were greeted by a "brief and simple" welcoming spectacle put on by about 1,600 schoolage children, President Fidel Castro and other government officials.

The president of the Cuban Council of Churches, Pablo Oden Marichal, who accompanied the women to the United States, also returned in the small charted plane that brought the women home. The grandmothers were returning after "brave and extraordinary work in the United States, overcoming great obstacles and transmitting a persuasive message to the U.S. people," said a government statement published on the front pages of all newspapers here yesterday. After days of arrangements and one failed effort to see Elian in Miami, Rodriguez and Quintana saw him for a few hours last Wednesday at the home of a Catholic nun. Elian was found clinging to an inner tube off the coast of Florida on Nov.

25. His mother drowned after the boat they were on sank during an ill-fated effort to immigrate to the United States. He has been living with Miami relatives since then. The little boy is caught in the midst of a major propaganda battle between Castro's communist government and Cuban-American exile groups. Some of the exile groups have complained that the boy should not return to his father because it would be a victory for the Cuban leader.

The women spent the majority of their time in Washington urging lawmakers not to grant the boy U.S. citizenship and to return him to Cuba. Some conservative lawmakers had proposed granting him citizenship, possibly hindering his return. They also met with Attorney-General Janet Reno and Immigration and Naturalization Service commissioner Doris Meissner, both of whom have stated the boy should be with his father. On Jan.

5, the INS ruled that only the boy's father can speak for his interests and ordered him returned to Cuba in 10 days. But the relatives who have been caring for him launched legal challenges to keep him in the United States. U.S. District Judge William Hoeveler will hear arguments Feb. 22 on whether the Miami relatives' lawsuit should be dismissed.
