Cuban
Catied
WASHINGTON (<B) The United States said yesterday
that demands from the Caribbean area for armaments go
far beyond the needs of self-defense.
That is why, it told Cuba, the U.S. ban on shipping arms
to the area has been broadened.
It also disclosed that the Castro government has turned
down a U.S. appeal to return the
two American fliers caught in a
flight to Cuba March 21.
The Havana regime said the
two Americans, William J. Scher
gales, 34, of West Hollywood, Fla.,
and Howard Rundquist, 33, of
Miami, Fla., are subject to Cuban
courts for a crime I committed
against Cuba. }
The United States wanted the
men returned for investigation
and possible prosecution under
U.S, laws. Havana’s turndown

Last night in a residence hall
meeting the men in Nittanv 23
were notified that they would

The decision to move Nittany
23 was made yesteiday afternoon
by Jerry Whalen, Nittany coor
dinator. Whalen said that the bo\s
were not notified until last night
to avoid the confusion that oc
curred after the residents of Nit

the Nittany Council, Robert G.
Bernreuter. special assistant to
the president for student affairs,
said fhe evacuation was neces
sary so that the Physical Plant

been working on Nittany 41 and

have the men or the equipment
to repair all 24 dorms during
the 12 weeks of summer, he
said. According to Bernreuter,
only two residence units would
have to be split up completely.
