The State Department is re.
ported preparing another apol-
ogy to the Fidel Castro gov
ernment because of an unau.
thorized fight yesterday of q
private plane from Florida to
Cuba.
An official said today the
department deplores such &C.
currences and is drafting a
statement expressing its regrets
to Cuban authorities.
Adventures who make
flights to Cuba are doing great
damage to our relations" he
said.
The new apology to Cuba
stems from a fight by two
United States citizens yester-
day in a light, rented plane.
The craft was forced down by
Cuban Army gunfire. CubanS
said the plane apparently had
made the trip in an effort to
help a former Cuban Army
colonel escape.
Last February 18 two United
States citizens died when their
plane. apparently carrying a
100-pound bomb, exploded over
a sugar cane field. The occu-
pants were killed. The United
States apologized. Cubans
charged the plane was trying
to set cane fields afire.
United States officials stressed
that the Government has taken
extraordinary precautions in
attempting to prevent illegal
flights to Cuba.
The United States, meanwhile,
has started telling its story to
the Cuban people through Span
ish language broadcastS.
The one-hour daily broad
casts in Spanish between 8 and
8 pm. will be limited in ef-
fectiveneSs because they will
be transmitted via short wave
and thus can be received by
only about 3 per cent of the
Cuban people who own that
type of set.

| Convictions were coming
faster than arrests in the
eighth week of Negro sitdowns,
aimed primarily at racially
Segregated eating facilities and
libraries.
A number Of courts had q
backlog of cases as a result of
the arrest Of more than 1000
Negroes since February /.
In addition, the threat of
boycott crept into statements
lof some Negro leaders while in
the North picketing of variety
stores appeared to be gaining
strength.
Thirty-seven Negroes were
convicted of disorderly conduct
lin City Court at Memphis,
Tenn, yesterday. Thirty-six
were fined $25 each for staging
a sitdown at a white public
library and a Negro newspaper
editor was fined $50 for incit-
ing them.
Boycott in Memphis
Later, a rally of about 1000
Negroes pledged a twice-a-week
boycott of Memphis stores,
especially during the Easter
shopping season. The boycott
will 60 into effect Thursday
and each Monday and Thurs
day thereafter.
Today Negro students at
Memphis extended their sit-in
maneuvers to the city's segre-
gated Art Gallery and staged
a second demonstration at the
downtown library.
A dozen were taken into
custody at the library and six
were arrested at the Brooks
Memorial Art Gallery. There
were no incidents at either
lplace.

Mr.. Rundquist, wounded in
the right foot when he tried
