No Inquest Planned
In International
Society Girl's Death
Montmollin, Switzerland W
Swiss officials said today they
planned no inquest into the
death of Joanne Coniclley Ortiz
Patino. the international society
beauty whose marital troubles
made headlines for four years.
The 26-year-old twice-married
former cover girl was found dy
ing of a heart attack early Tues
day in her villa. She died soon
after a Roman Catholic priest
administered the last rites of the
church.
No Investigation Planned
Informed sources said no in
vestigation was planned because
she had been ill for some time.
The sources said she had been
treated twice at a Lausanne
Hospital for heart trouble, caused
by taking overdoses of reducing
pills.
Joanne, a New York debu
tante of the 1948 season whose
beautiful face appeared on many
magazine covers, was married
first to millionaire socialite golf
er Robert Sweeny in Marcn,
1949. in a Palm Beach ceremony
where she was escorted by rail
road tycoon Robert Young.
She made her first interna
tional headlines in 1953 when
Sweeny divorced her on grounds
of adultery with playboy diplo
mat Porfirio Rubirosa.
Intended To Visit Children
She had intended to visit New
York next week to see her two
daughters who are in Sweeny's
custody.
In 1954 she married Jaime
Ortiz Patino, heir to a billion
dollar Bolivian tin fortune. Their
life together lasted only 49 days
and was followed by three years
of suits and countersuits across
Europe and blazing headlines
throughout the world.
She died just before a Swiss
court was to hand down a final
divorce decree in a scandal
proof end to the charges of nar
cotics addiction, cruelty, defam
ation of character and libel.

Weather Bureau's
Service Fouls Lines
Portland OP The Portland
weather bureau was like the
calm after the storm today.
The storm started when the
weather bureau decided it would
give out recorded forecasts if
persons would dial a certain
number. This would help ease
the load of overworked tele
phone-answering employees.
Thousands of calls came in to
the number.
Then came anonther call. It
was from the telephone com
pany. The calls to the other num
ber were fouling up the ex
change because the line wasn't
capable of handling the traffic.
Today both the telephone com
pany and weather bureau agreed
it was all a mistake. Hereafter,
said the weather bureau to
would-be callers, please get fore
casts from newspapers, radio .or
