t Dike And Men Close To Breaking Around Northern Idaho Community BOWERS FERRY, Idaho (AP) A dike can only absorb so much water and a man can go only so long without food and rest. Both dike and man were coming close to the breaking point today around this North Idaho community of 2.000. Close to 4.000 acres of farm land were under water from the swirl ing, muddy Kootenai River and Boundary County Flood Coordinator Dayton Douglas said all the dikes were in criLical condition. APPLIANCE .SERVICE SUBURBAN WJ GAS ORchord 2-4371 t They are too soft for equipment to wo.k on, so men some 2,000 !of them, hired by the Corps of lArmy Engineers, Idaho National Guardsmen, volunteers and land . owners carry the bags oi sand i along the dikes and drop them I where the river is washing away at the earthen barriers. Some men have worked 24 and 36 hours with out food or sleep, i An Engineer official told an As ' sociated Press newsman at the scene the local flood fighting cost i already has reached $500,000 and it couid double before the river I goes down. The Iwo-week long battle against the Kootenai an annual bother, sometimes a threat, but not a men ace since 1956 appeared to he a losing one. The river swirled to 37.1 feet yesterday, then dropped to 36.7 last night after the two dikes broke. A crest of 37.2 was predicted later today but violent winds and rain storm that swept up out of Northcentral Idaho was ex pected to bring the situation to a head earlier. Winds of -40 miles an hour were clocked at some points SPECIAL 10 DISCOUNT Until March 1st on ALL CASH & CARRY VENETIAN BLIND CLEANING & REPAIRING Also CLEARANCE PRICES now on all SAMPLES -- REMNANTS - ODD SIZES Drapery Materials Venetian Blinds Shades One Group Drapery Samples Pillow top size 15c Bolt Endsnd Remnant's to 14 yds. priced at COST!

Kennedy Talks, Khrush Dances MOSCOW (AP) While Presi dent Kennedy was telling the ! American people of his somber talks with Nikita Khrushchev, the ! Soviet premier was dancing the cha cha cha with President Su karno of Indonesia. Back from Vienna in a light hearted, light-footed mood, the 66-year-old Soviet leader was the life of the party Tuesday night at a celebration for the visiting Indonesian's 60th birthday. It was the gayest Moscow party in several years and Khrushchev was in his gayest form since he gave up vodka for orange juice. Swept up by the rhythmic beat of a band playing "Indonesia Is Free, Cha Cha Cha." the Soviet premier was out on the dance Uoor hand in hand with Sukarno. Khrushchev did a few impro vised steps just for laughs crouching as in Hie Cossack dance and kicking out his legs. He beat a bongo drum. At anuthcr point he grabbed Sukarno's marshal's baton to lead the orchestra. When the Indonesian president suggested this would cost the So viet government a new loan, Khrushchev turned his pockets in side out to show they were empty and quipped: "Look, he robs me of everything. He takes every thing I have." Soviet President Leonid 'I. Brezhnev, first Deputy Premier Anaslas I. Mikoyau and other Kremlin chieftains were at the party at the Indonesian Embassy. All of them got into the cavort ing 'except Foreign Minister An drei Gromyko, who watched from the sidelines. Nina Khrushchev, who accom panied her husband (o Vienna for his talks with President Kennedy, danced a bit, then sat out the rest of the numbers smiling. The closest thing to a mention of politics came when Khrushchev took a dig al one of his favorite straight men Mikoyan. As the first deputy premier did a neat turn around the floor in a Caucasian dance. Khrushchev remarked: "You know, we had a meeting of the Central Com mittee about this, and the only reason Mikoyan is allowed to hold his job is hecause he can dance this dance." Khrushchev and Sukarno left the party together. Hundreds of Muscovites on the street outside gave them a rousing cheer, Di-Noor. Faints On Stand At Trial Of Gestapo Chief Wed., June 7, 1961 The News-Review, Roseburg, Ore. 3 SUBSCRIBE TO THE NEWS-REVIEW PATRONIZE NEWS-REVIEW ADVERTISERS JERUSALEM (AP)-A noted Jewish writer who rose Irom the ashes of the Auschwitz concentra tion camp testified against Adolf Kichmann today, spoke in ram bling terms for about 10 minutes, then spun off the chair in a faint. The trial of the former Gestapo Camp Fire Girls Set Camp Dates A record number of three-day camps will be operated this sum mer by the I inpqua Council oi Camp Fire Girls, Mrs. Arch Col brunn. president, said today. The day camps will be conduct ed at Stewart Park in Roseburg. June 19 to 2.1; at Evergreen Park in Myrtle Creek. June 26 to 29, and at Clearwater near Toketee Falls, July 24 to 29. Hours will be from 9:30 until 3:30 daily. "We are'approaching our goal of making camping fun available in a close-to-home area to every girt in the Umpqua Council," Mrs. Col brunn said. "The low fee, aver aging fifty cents a day, includes the cost of sickness and accident insurance, milk for all camp meals, program supplies, and some food for cook-out meals." Mrs. Richard John and Mrs. Don Bailey, day camping chairman and assistant, have concentrated on an enriched day camp program which will offer a greater variety of ac tivities to appeal to various age groups. They have engaged special, ists in such fields as group sing ing, arts and crafts, wood lore, and astronomy, to help out on a volunteer basis. There will also be plenty of prac tice in cooking out, with the girls learning to make bean-hole beans, cook biscuits in a reflector oven, prepare stew on a hobo stove, and whip up such dessert favorites as "s'mores" and mock angel food. . Registration for the Roseburg day camp are being taken now at the Camp Fire office, 657 SE Rose. Girls from .Myrtle Creek and To ketee Falls are registering through their leaders. AND WHERE WAS POP? DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) A robin who knew right where to goj hatched her eggs on the fire es cape just outside the obstetrical ward of Dcs Moines hospital. TRUTH LIVES FOREVER OLEAN, N. Y. (AP) A phrase found in a 390-year-old science book at the St. Bonaventure Uni versity library is as appropriate today as it was in 1571. In a treatise on' alchemy, writ ten by Grataroli and printed in Balse, appeared a motto' of 16th Century chemists: "At nature's boundaries, science begins experiments." chief was suspended immediately. The witness was introduced by the Israel prosecution as Vechiel Di-Noor, Polish-born. The packed audience gascd when he was identified lor the first time in public as the writer K. Zetnik, a pen name meaning an inmate of u concentration camp. His best known work is "The House of Dolls." the story of the two years he spent in the Auschwitz death mill. The witness acknowledged his double identity and in a curiously halting manner insisted that K. Zetnik '-'is nut a nom de plume". "I do not consider myself a writer," he said. Instead, he main tained, he only chronicled the history "of another planet, Auschwitz." "I was there on that planet for two years. There time was not a concept as on our planet. The in habitants had no parents, no chil dren. They did not live or die in accordance with the laws of this world. Their name was a number. K. Zetnik so-and-so. Ally. Gen. Gideon Hausner showed Di-Noor the blue and white striped Nazi death camp uniform and he identified it. The witness himself was nattily dressed in a beige linen suit with a black tie. a cool suit with Jeru salem broiling under 100-degrec temperature outside. Di-Noor paled and bunked be hind his spectacles. The uniform shown him was his own. He had brought it and was presumably prepared, the attorney general thought. As he sketched the background of his thoughts on Auschwitz, Court President Judge Moshe Landauer suggested that the testi mony now lake a question-and-answer form. Di-Noor lunged up from the wit ness chair, spun around and crashed to the floor. Eichmann in his glass cage leaned forward and stared. Still ringing in the ears of court and audience were Di-Noor's last words on the stand as he de scribed how he continued to sur vive and others were mur dered: "I was always left be hind." When the trial resumed some minutes later, it moved into other phases of the Auschwitz story without Di-Noor. It was decided he was unable to testify. Welcome VETS: h... Fun DncnonnkA lV J k.
