new effort to
free Svenson
BERLIN (UPI) The United
States plans to take action on a
high level in a new effort to se
cure the release of an Army de
fector being held against his will
in East Berlin, informed sources
said today.
The sources said the United
States would ask the Russians for
Capt. Alfred Svenson, 30, of
Scranton, Pa., on the grounds it
has been shown clearly that he
wants to return.
They said the State Department
either would send a note to the
Soviet Union or that the U.S. Em
bassy in Moscow would contact
the Soviet Foreign Ministry.
New details of Svenson's at
tempts to escape were disclosed
today: Svenson has been listed as
a defector by the Army since he
drove a jeep into East Germany
May 4.
Smuggled Over Note
American officials said Svenson
smuggled a note to American
headquarters in July saying he
wanted to get out of the East.
He wrote the note on the back
of his Army immunization record
and gave it to a group of Italian
tourists visiting East Berlin to
take to the American mission in
West Berlin.
Last month, Svenson appeared
at the Eastern side of the Fried
richstrasse crossing point for for
eigners on the East-West Berlin
border and demanded the right
to cross over to the U.S. Army's
"Checkpoint Charlie", American
officials said.
"I am an American officer and
want to go back to West Berlin,"
he was quoted as saying.
He immediately was surround
ed by Eastern police and taken
away, the officials said.
On Tuesday, Svenson contacted
the Army again through the East
Berlin office of the Reuters news
agency.
He said he had made three un
successful attempts to escape and
had been badly beaten trying. His
face was swollen, his lips bruised,
his shirt bloody and a tooth was
broken.
Asked Svenson's Return
After receiving the immuniza
tion record, the Army asked the
Russian high command in Ger
many to return Svenson because
the note showed he was being
held against his will, American
officials said.
The Russians replied that in
the first place it was none of
their business because Svenson
was in "sovereign" East Ger
many. They said in the second
place the Army was wrong. The
Russians said they had looked in
to the matter and discovered that
Svenson was a free, happy man.
They said Svenson denied sending
either a note or his immunization
record to the Americans.

Johnson, wife
in Finland for
four-day visit
HELSINKI, Finland (UPI)
Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson
arrived in Helsinki today for his
second stop on a 15.000-mile, five
nation tour of Northern Europe.
Johnson, his wife Lady Bird
and their 19-year-old daughter
Lynda Bird, arrived here by jet
liner from Stockholm, where they
opened the tour with a three-day
visit to Sweden. They were to
spend four days here.
On hand to greet Johnson were
President Urho Kekkonen and
Mrs. Kekkonen, Ahti Karjalainen,
caretaker prime minister of a
government that fell last week in
a dispute over farm prices, and
other top Finnish officials.
A light rain was falling when
the Boeing 707 jet carrying John
son and his party landed.
Recently-appointed U. S. Am
bassador Carl Rowan, one of
America's few Negro diplomats,
led the American delegation at the
airport.
A full-scale military reception
was accorded by the Helsinki gar
rison.
The visit is seen here as a good
will gesture by the United States,
and as a reply to the U. S. visit
made by Kekkonen in 1961.
As President Kennedy's person
al representative to Finland's
"America Days," Johnson will re
ceive the first ticker-tape wel
come in Finnish history Saturday
when he drives along Helsinki's
main business street and dedi
cates its name-change from Alek
santerinkatu to American Street.
His four-day visit to Finland is
the second stop on the 15,000-mile
goodwill tour of Sweden, Finland,
Norway, Denmark, Iceland and
Danish-owned Greenland.

2 Madras men
hurt as section
of wall falls
Special to The Bulletin
MADRAS Alonzo Hill, about
60, and Roy Warren, of Madras,
also in his sixties, were injured
about 3 o'clock Thursday while
working on a new structure of the
First Christian Church in Madras.
The tw o men were hurt when a
section of the wall being raised
into place fell and struck them.
The snapping of an cyebolt on
the crane that was lifting the wall
into place was blamed for the
mishap.
Both men were taken by am
bulance to the Central Oregon
District Hospital in Redmond.
Hill, who suffered a double skull
fracture and other undetermined
injuries, was later transferred
to a Portland hospital. His con
dition is described as critical.
Warren suffered a head cut,
multiple bruises and a fractured
toe. His condition was described
as satisfactory.
Hill was a paid employe on the
job, working his first day. He
came to Madras about a week
ago and police have not yet trac
ed his former address. Warren
was one of several volunteer
workers engaged in the construc
tion project.
Probably half a dozen men es
caped injury because they were
on their feet and able to run when
the wall toppled. Hill and Warren
were in a kneeling position.

The $300,000 set aside to fina-ice
the referral election was cut back
to $275,000 after Elections Super
visor Jack Thompson said he
thought no more than that would
be needed.
The board refused a $21,650 re

The vote against the appropria

The board then voted unani
mously to deny $80,556 asked by
the State Tax Commission to im
plement three of the laws passed
by the last legislature.
The feeling of the Emergency
Board was that the commission
could get by with the $8.1 million
appropriated during the regular
session.
Tax Commission Chairman Paul
Lenniger said "we will do what
we can, but said without money
the commission might not be able
to administer the laws. Involved
are the new local budget law,
farm land zoning law and new
forest access roads legislation.
Sen. Ward Cook, D-Portland,
warned other members of the
emergency Board that the state
was undergoing a tax revolt,
"It will take a miracle to pre
vent defeat of the tax bill at the
Oct. 15 election," he said.
In light of the feeling being ex-
pressed by taxpayers, he said he
ifelt the board should refuse aU
requests that were not of an ex

Wet Nam seeking return
of three Buddhist priests
SAIGON, South Vict Nam (UPI)
The Vietnamese government
demanded today that the United
Stales hand over three Buddhist
priests who took refuge in the
American Embassy here last Sun
day, diplomatic sources said.
The three priests included Thich
Tri Quang, who is reported to
have masterminded the Buddhist
protest movement against the
government of President Ngo
Dinh Diem.
The sources said the demand
was made in a formal aide-memoire
from the Vietnamese Foreign
Office. U.S. Embassy representa
tive William Truchart was sum
moned to the Foreign Office and
handed the demand.
There was no immediate indica
tion whether the United States
would hand over the three priests.
Escaped Arrest
Quang somehow managed to es
cape arrest when government
troops and police stormed and
sacked the city's main Xa Loi pa
goda in the pre-dawn hours of
Aug. 21, in a massive crackdown
on the Buddhist protest move
ment.
Last Tuesday, embassy officials
refused to grant refuge to another
young Buddhist priest because
they said he was not a Buddhist
leader and clearly was not in
danger. At the time, a source
said the embassy had made it a
policy now to shelter only Bud
dhist leaders who might be In
danger.
The other two priests who took

were Le Mai Chi and Tran Van

The presence of the troopers
around the schools angered par
ents .of the white students. They
shouted angry protests at the
troopers: .
"Go homo where you belong."
A group of students shot around
the line of troopers at one ele
mentary school. "We re open as
usual," the principal announced.
Formal classes begin Monday.
Early today Wallace, In a sur
