Black heard their instructions. Mrs. Black said she flew around until she had used about half a tank of gas "and then decided to just try and set it down without a crackup."

The plane hit the runway at a steep angle and bounced about 40 feet. It hit again about 300 feet from the first impact.

Demands Cuba Give Sub Explanation WASHINGTON (AP The United Slates has fired a delayed- action diplomatic salvo at Cuba for what it calls an unprovoked high seas attack on an American submarine. The State Department demanded an explanation of the incident. It strongly disputed accusations by Cuban Prime Minister Fidel Castro that the United States has aggressive designs against Cuba. The submarine Sea Poacher, according to the Navy, was five miles from Cuban territory on May 6 when crewmen noticed what appeared to be red signal flares from another vessel. After the surfaced sub determined the other craft was a Cuban patrol boat, the Cuban craft turned back without arj exchange of messages.

The.Navy considered the incident as routine. The next development came Friday night, when Castro made one of his midnight television speeches. He charged the sub had violated Cuban waters and was chased away by Cuban gunfire. He also claimed that the U.S. destroyer Norfolk cruised within miles of a Cuban island.

The Navy made another check and decided that the sub had been fired on after all, probably with small caliber tracer bullets. It was not hit. The State Department promptly protested. It told Cuba it wanted an explanation of why "an armed of the Cuban navy fired, without provocation, on the USS Sea Poacher while the Jatter was pursuing a peaceful passage on the high seas." Authorities said the Norfolk would have gone aground if it had gotten within miles of the Cuban island, as Castro charged. MARKETS Fort Worth Livestock FORT WORTH 150; lop 16.00.
