I play a 1967 Frederico Garcia classical guitar, and not having played a well adjusted guitar, thought this guitar was great. But then I bought a better acoustic with lower action and then went back to playing classical again, and find it very high. On closer examination I have found that the neck is coming up. I believe it is becoming unbound from the body. Not very much, but enough to throw the action off. There is no truss rod in that I can see (checked the headstock and the sound hold). Is there anything I can do about this?

Classicals typically have higher action than steel string and they rarely have truss rods unless they're acoustic electric. If your neck is bowing it's probably the result of climate conditions, just take it to a shop, they can probably fix it.
