In Washington, the State De partment said it had received no definite word on when, where or how the Soviets would release the two officers. A spokesman said there was no information available beyond Sun day's statement by Secretary of State Dean Rusk that Soviet Am bassador Anatoly F. Dobrynin promised the fliers would be re turned "in the near future." U.S. officials here said they were disappointed and surprised that the airmen were not released Monday. A third officer abroad the plane when it was shot down 1st Lt. Harold W. Welch, 24, of Detroit was turned over to American authorities Saturday. He was in jured in parachuting from the air plane. The other officers are Capt. David I. Holland, 35, of Holland, Minn., and Capt. Melvin J. Kes sler, 30, of Philadelphia. Officials here could not under stand why the Russians had told the State Department of the re lease plan if they did not intend to carry it out immediately.

He received the Anne duPont Peyton Memorial Award, a $100 turn the airmen meant acceptance of the American statement that the aircraft had not been on an espionage flight but had strayed across the East-West German border because of a navigational failure.

S. courts must treat as valid Fidel Castro's nationalization of American property in Cuba. As a result, Cuba can legally collect $175,000 realized from the sale of some sugar belonging to a seized American company.

SPU Will Sponsor Speaker Tonight David Hartsough of the Amer ican Friends Service Committee will address the Student .Peace Union tonight at 8 in Gerrard Hall on the influences an Amer ican student can wield over Con gressional legislation.

The 8 to 1 decision will have a bearing on numerous other court challenges here to Cuban nation alizations. The government re ported 37 cases in New York alone. The Cuban decision upheld the position of the Justice Depart ment, which argued that gener ally speaking U. S. courts must recognize as valid acts of a rec ognized foreign government af fecting ownership of property in that country. This is known as the "act of state" doctrine. The department contended that U. S. foreign re lations could be adversely af fected if U. S. courts made judg ments in this area. Today's case dealt with Cas tro's seizure of a shipload of sugar on Aug. 6, 1960, in Jucaro Harbor. The sugar belonged to one of 26 companies seized by the Castro regime on that day. A New York commodity brok er, Farr, Whitlock, & Co., had already contracted to sell the shipment to a customer in Mo rocco. The firm went ahead with the deal and realized $175,000. On order of a New York State court, these funds were placed in escrow for the stockholders of the original owners, most of whom live in the United States. The Banco Nacional de Cuba, financal agent of the Castro gov ernment, sued to recover the money. Federal Dstrct Judge Edward J. Dimock dismissed the suit and was upheld by the 2nd U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The second circuit said Cuba violated international law when it took the property and there fore did not have legal title to the funds. Justice John M. Harlan spoke for the court today in a 39-page opinion.

"We were very disappointed in the results, but there were some really good teams up against us," said Powell. The Carolina team went into the debate as a "dark horse" entry.

Approximately 40 per sons were asleep in the house when the fires were discovered. Fire extinguishers were used to put out the blaze. Three sepa rate windows in the living room were burned, causing damage to curtains, woodwork, and fur niture. A smaller fire was also found on a basement bar, but it was put out without difficulty. Fraternity members also said that charred broom or rake handles were found in the boiler. The damages were covered by insurance.
