The company earlier had at
tached several hijacked Cuban

satisfy the claim.
Erwin Harris, head of the
advertising agency, said he was
withdrawing the claim ''in an
effort to demonstrate national

patrol boat without a request
from the State Department to
do so.
The Harris company earlier
had declared it would insist
on holding the boat unless the

a release. Mr.. Harris main

was liable to seizure because a
Cuban government agency
made a deal with him to ad-

summer of 1859 and the last
of January, 1860, when Mr.,
Harris Cancelled the contract.
The State Department took
the position that Mr.. Harris
order was invalid because writS
of this type can not be applied
against naval vessels. Legal
experts say this immunity has
applied in the United States

said, did not achieve all goals

However, unlike the Senate

In another development,

follow suit.
The notice requiring that

MEXICO CITY, Aug is
(AP) Mexico has asked Cuba
to return aries Albert
Cadon to face trial for hi
jacking a Pan American World
Airways DC-8 jet liner over
Mexican territory last Wednes-
day and forcing the pilot to
land the plane in Havana.
The Foreign Ministry said
in a statement last night that
it advised the Mexican Am
baSsador in Havana to seek
the extradition of the 25-year-
old Frenchman who took COM
mand of the plane at gunpoint
shortly after it left Mexico
City bound for Guatemala and
points south with 81 persons
aboard.
The extradition request was
forwarded after the attorney
generals office charged Cadon
with robbery with violence, at
tack on general communica-
tionS threats, illegally carry
ing firearms and violating in
dividual guarantees. If found
guilty of all counts, Cadon
would face up to 80 years in
prison.
Mexico and Cuba have a
criminal extradition treaty,
and it is believed here Cuba
will return Cadon to Mexico
rather than to the United
States, which also wants the
sometime New York painter
and waiter.
The day after the hijacking,
Cadon was charged at Miami,
