U S State Dept Works Through Swiss Gov t To Free Skindivers
The State Department said it is working with the Swiss government to secure the release of seven U S skindivers arrested in Cuba. Secretary Dean Rusk anticipated no difficulty in freeing the men, described as innocent adventurers en route to Jamaica to search for sunken treasure. Cuban officials hinted at charges, while the Coast Guard had searched for the vessel since midweek and then paused the effort. Relatives fear the men drifted into Cuban waters. The group sailed from Pompano Beach, Florida, last Saturday. Switzerland handles U S affairs in Cuba, and Swiss officials are being asked to check on captives and push for release. The seven men identified in Miami include Gordon S Patton.

Catholic layman warned after advocating school integration
In New Orleans a Roman Catholic layman, Harold F. Dittmann, says his life was threatened after appearing on television to announce a committee supporting desegregation of parochial schools. He sought police protection as he received calls threatening to blow his brains out. Five others met with Coadjutor Archbishop John Patrick Cody. A separate disclosure from Mrs. B. J. Gaillot Jr. cited a letter from Archbishop Joseph F. Rummel threatening her, after her Save Our Nation group picketed Rummel and his aide. The desegregation move prompted criticism of other Catholic groups for not denouncing segregation.
