Navy Divers Join Clemente Search
U S Navy divers joined the search for the plane in which Roberto Clemente died and the four others perished. The Coast Guard cutter Sagebrush searched about 1 1/2 miles off San Juan as civilian divers had failed to find the DC7 wreckage. Clemente led Puerto Rico relief efforts after the Managua earthquake and players from the Pirates arrived to offer condolence. Governor Hernandez Colón spoke at his inauguration calling Clemente a glory for Puerto Rico. The mourning capital reflected the loss with flag at half staff and a minute of silence.
