Brother Saves
Young Sisler
A young Salem man held his
youngsr sister afloat for several
minutes in the cold Willamette
river Sunday afternoon .until res
cuers could get to the scene and
pull them to safety.
Lyle Shepherd, 19, and his
lister Danna, 13, both of 3420
Duncan avenue, were boating in
the Willamette when their small
runabout flipped over when it
itarted rocking In the wake of
another boat. The capsizing boat
struck the girl on the head,
knocking her momentarily un
conscious, city first aidmen re
ported. Robert Elfstrom, Jr., 1775
North 24th street, saw the acci
dent from his boat which was
just ahead of the Shepherd boat
and turned about to return to
the scene. He and Frank Brown,
who occupied the boat with their
wives, grasped the pair and held
them afloat until a third boat,
piloted by Stan Ness, could be
signaled from downstream and
the two put aboard it. They were
taken ashore, checked by first aid
men and the girl taken to Salem
General hospital for treatment of
I severe head laceration.
Shepherd told rescuers he was
to exhausted from the struggle to
keep himself and his sister
afloat that he "couldn't have
swum another stroke" when they
reached them. They were some
50 feet from their own boat at
the time of the rescue and too
weak to get to it, rescuers said.
Elfstrom said the pair was
"darned lucky" that he happened
to look back and see them when
he did. Another minute and he
"doubted that they would have
been still afloat.
A resident of Oregon since 1862 and an occupant of the
same home at 176 North 25th street since 1891 gives Mrs.
Caroline Hixson the distinction of being among Salem older
citizen. She came to Oregon via Cape Horn 93 years ago.
Shown are her four children L. B. Hixson and C. M. Hixson,
Salem; Mrs. A. J, Cleveland, Dallas, and Roy L. Hixson, Eugene.
Count Karolyi Dies in Exile
VENCE, France UH Count Mi
chael Karolyi, former president of
Hungary whose off-and-on feud
with the Communists spanned two
world wars, died at his home in
exile Saturday. He was 80.
A descendant of one of Hun
gary's richest noble families, Kar
olyi had a stormy political career
in which he twice chose exile 'in
preference to communism. '
Unpopular in Hungary for his
pro-A Hied, anti-German sen
timents at the outset of World War
I, Karolyi made several trips to
the United States and endorsed
President Wilson's peace propos
als. He was named president of the
Hungarian- Republic after World
War I But quit within a year,
turned over the government to Red
leader Bela Kun and fled the coun
try. A Hungarian court later found
him guilty of treason and confis
cated his vast estates.
During World War II he took part
in the Hungarian exile movement
in London and returned to his
country in 1946 after 27 years of
exile. He was named ambassador
to France in 1947 and held the post
two years.
In 1949 he went into exile a sec
ond time after a dispute with Hun-
eary's Communist government,
Since then he had been living mod
estly on the French Riviera
