Hi end Lo IJLJ SERVING BEND AND CENTRAL OREGON JL ALU ALU II uu n i 61st Year Lechin offers to quit, free 21 hostages LA PAZ, Bolivia (UPI) Vice President Juan Lechin has of fered to resign and to release the four American and 17 other hostages held by his mine worker supporters if the gov ernment will release three jailed Communist agitators, it was reported today. Tha offer was reported after Lechin showed up unexpectedly in La Paz today. He has been heading a rebellious group of tin miners at Catavi, 150 miles from here, since they kidnaped their hostages a week ago today to force the government to re , lease the jailed Reds. Rebellious miners meanwhile set up armed command posts around their Catavi stronghold to fend off the growing gov ernment threat of armed mili tary action against them. Four American and 17 other hostages being held by the reb els to force the government to release three jailed Communist labor leaders meanwhile ended their first week of captivity. Unconfirmed reports said army troops flanking Catavi were holding two unidentified Ameri can newsmen returning to La Paz from the rebel stronghold. Mediation efforts to resolve the power clash between Presi dent Victor Paz Estenssoro. on one hand, and his vice presi dent, Juan Lechin, on the other moved ahead on two fronts. Nei ther gave much hope for suc cess. Roman Catholic priest Father Andrew Kennedy left Oruro for Catavi to talk to Lechin and the miners holding the hostages there. University student lead ers also sought to mediate the dispute despite Paz' refusal to even discuss an exchange of the jailed Reds for the hos tages. Press dispatches from Catavi said the miners had set up armed outposts on a 25-to-40-mile perimeter around the tin mining center with Castro-type bearded sentries carrying Yugoslav-made submachine guns and sticks of dynamite the miner's favorite weapon. The army meanwhile moved troop reinforcements from Co chabamba in 10 trucks and two jeeps towards the mining area. New ski area proposal eyed Construction on Maiden Peak in the Deschutes National Forest of a new ski area, proposed by several Eugene residents, re ceived a preliminary study to day when a flight was made over the 7.800 foot high butte, about four airline miles north of Odell Lake. Two of the men interested in the project are Henry Eaton and Jim Redden, both of Eugene. Eaton is in the lumber business in the Lane County city. Red den is a former University of Oregon skier. Eaton made the flight over the area today, accompanied by Don Peters and Bill Shenk of the Deschutes National Forest staff. Apparently the air reconnais sance of the area was intended as the first step in a far more extensive study which would be undertaken before the U.S. For est Service acted on an applica tion for a ski development. A winter check of snow con ditions would be made on the ground, and there would be other checks to determine the length of a ski season on Maiden Peak. These would be part of the overall feasibility study. Access to the proposed new ski area would probably be from the Davis Lake siJe, not from Odell. The new ski area would be only four or fivs airline miles east of the present Odell Lake ski area at the Cascade summit. If a ski area were developed at Maiden Peak, it possibly would replace the present Odell Lake area, noted for its short season. Maiden Peak is in the south western corner of Deschutes County.

Claire Machkote named COC's princess for Winter Carnival By Web Ruble Bullitln Staff Writer She's 5' 7", 107 pounds, with dark hair and brown eyes. That's Central Oregon Col lege's princess to Portland State College's Intercollegiate Winter Carnival. Miss Claire Machicote, 18, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Machicote, 715 E. Marshall Ave nue, has been named COC's pert, trim, delightful contribu tion to the l'Jbi ana bin an nual court. Born in Bayonne, France, of French parentage. Miss Machi cote lends a rich foreign flavor to the winter ski fest that is be ing held for the third straight year in Bend and on the slopes of Bachelor Butte. Though of French back ground, Miss Machicote is as American as any other college co-ed. She is a freshman pre- nursing major at COC, and a 1962 graduate of Bend High School. She was "real surprised and real happy when news of her selection reached her Wed nesday night after a campus wide vote. Miss Machicote will join per haps a score of princesses from colleges throughout tne racmc Northwest. One will be selected queen. Last year's queen was COC's Micki Sickles, chosen from a field of 19. Queen selection is made at carnival time. The 1964 edition runs February 21-22-23. The an nual event had its beginning in 1956 on the slopes of Mt. Hood under the direction of Swiski, the ski club of Portland State. Fantastic growth has expand ed the winter carnival in both skiing and non - skiing events. Last year it encompassed ski Afternoon ihaws hold up skating at Jumper slab As yet, no skating on the Jun iper Park ice slab is being per mitted. This is the word from Rec reation Department Director Vince Genna, who explained this moming that temperatures have not been consistently low enough to put a volume of skat ers on the ice. Genna says afternoon temper atures largely determine the condition of the ice, and these have not dipped to a suitable low. Moreover, daytime winds, which have a thawing effect, have been fairly constant. Genna said his department has been deluged with phone calls asking whether the ice is ready for skating. He ssks skat ers, instead, to watch the slab lights, which will be turned on when the ice is satisfactory. Those living at a distance from the park are asked to phone a friend who can see the lights from bis rJenc$ a background of wintry white, the Portland State Intercollegiate isoRich foreign flavor aggregations of all sizes from over 20 colleges. Originally oriented around skiing events, the goals of the present Winter Carnival are the same as that of the day it was born: "to bring together college students of the West who share a common interest in outdoor sports, and to pro mote intercollegiate skiing com petition throughout colleges and universities of the Northwest." In 1956 Portland State hosted nine colleges and universities for two days. Now, after it is much, much larger, the scope of the Winter Carnival includes dancing and entertainment in the fun and frolic associated with the winter season. At the beginning of its fifth year there was not enough lodg ing or other facilities at Mt. Hood to contain the event. Thus the following year the Winter Carnival's base of operations moved to Bachelor Butte and Bend. Miss Machicote works at Brandis' Thriftway Drug store part time while going to school. She has worked there for some time.

Joining in snow sports on the high slope of the old volcanic cone of the Three Sisters family of peaks will be a bus load of high school skiers from Klam ath Falls. There will be around 45 in the group. Clear weather was reported from Bachelor this morning, with the temperature resting at 29 degrees. The skiing surface was described as powder. Motorists were cautioned that the road is slick and icy virtual ly the entire distance into the ski area from Bend, and cau tion in driving was urged. Bachelor ski facilities will be in operation only on Friday and Saturday this week, but begin ning on Saturday, December 21, the ski area will operate daily. This operation will continue in to early April. No new snow fell this week at Hoodoo, where the depth Is 19 inches. Temperature there this moming was 20 degrees, with powder snow on top of a hard pack. Skiing was good, Ed Thurston, operator of the Hoo doo ski area, said.

Bend's brown eyed court nominee, isn't without other present and previous honors and activity. Miss Machicote is one of the representatives on the COC student council. In high school she was also on the student council besides serving as activities chairman. During her junior year at Bend Hi, she was the Miss Merry Christmas Princess (1961).

Upon completion of this her freshman year at COC, Miss Machicote's nursing training sends her to the University of Oregon Medical School in Port land. It is a three-year pro gram there. "A skier?

Wayne Morse, D-Ore., said to day the old Tongue Point Naval Base near Astoria, Ore., would be used for a Bureau of Indian Affairs vocational educational school for Indian students of high school age. Morse said conversion cost was estimated at $5 million with an operating budget of 51.5 to $1.7 million. He said Interior Secretary Stewart Udall has approved the plans and was sending a re quest for funds to the Senate and House Appropriations Com mittees. Morse said the students would come primarily from the Paci fic Northwest. The proposed school would house 1,000 stu dents and about 165 faculty members and supporting staff. He said, "This important devel opment came as a result of my conferences over a period of ; weeks with the secretary of in-' terior." He also said the plans had been discussed in detail with the late President John F. Kennedy when Kennedy visited Tongue Point Sept. 27, 1963. Open In 1965 Morse said plans called for construction work to start next spring with the school to open in the fall of 1965.

No. 7 it km n onn US Bureau mum on report of pick-up film LOS ANGELES (UPH - The FBI served notice on the kid napers of young Frank Sinatra today that it has the serial numbers of the $240,000 in bills paid for his ransom. The numbers were flashed around the country from FBI headquarters in Washington with a plea for anyone who re ceived any of the bills to con tact the nearest FBI office im mediately. At the same time, the FBI declined comment on reports it had taken motion pictures of the suspects with a long-range lens as the ransom furnished by the boy's famous father was being picked up. Sources close to the FBI said agents are "now more con vinced than ever" that the kid naping was genuine, despite some published reports to the contrary. The list of serial numbers, which are not in sequence, runs 41 pages. FBI Director J. hcl- gar Hoover saia me money in cluded 700 $100 bills, 700 $50 bills, 4,000 $20 bills, 4,000 $10 bills and 8,000 $5 bills. ' Federal Reserve Notes With the exception of the $5 bills, all the money is in federal reserve notes, Hoover said. The $5 bills included silver certifi cates, United States notes and federal-reserve notes. Frank Sinatra Sr. was re ported by a close friend to have seen the pictures, taken with a telescopic lens and infra-red light, and ' recognized two of the suspects. The friend, a director of one of the San Francisco Bay area's largest liquor distri butorships, asked that his name not be used. He and a Bay area night club owner, who corrobor ated the story, said they wished to remain anonymous because of the delicate nature of the search and to protect the ones who gave them the information. The FBI refused to comment either about Sinatra's Identifica tion or the possibility Atty Gen. Robert Kennedy had left Wash ington. The agency has held steadfast to its policy of making no comment to newsmen or lo cal police officers throughout the case. FBI Plays Lone Hand The policy increased specula tion that the FBI, playing a lone hand, was preparing an airtight case that could be announced by the attorney general or Hoover as has been the pattern in re cent federal cases. Agents turned away questions with a terse "no comment. Two residences in San Fernan do Valley were raided Thursday by agents. One was a house in Canoga Park where they took pictures, made plaster casts oi footprints and tire marks and carted away boxes of evidence. The search of the house was abandoned by the FBI at mid night.

The author said he was not criticizing those Americans who do visit East Berlin.
