700 Soviet Youths
Flee to West Zone

refugee officials said Saturday
700 Soviet Zone youths fled to
the West this week to escape
Communist military service.
This raised to 2700 the num
ber of East German youths who
sought asylum in West Berlin
in the last four weeks, officials
said.
The youths said they fled be
cause pressure was being placed
upon them to enlist in the "Bar
racks Peoples Police" which is
being converted into an army
under the Red pact signed in
Warsaw.
Western officials expected the
number of youthful refugees to
rise still more as a result of new
remilitarization steps taken at
this week's convention of the
East German Communist Youth
Organization.
The "Free German Youth"
amended its Constitution to drop.
a ban against military service.
Welfare Commission
Adopts New Rules
Portland (U.R) The State
Public Welfare Commission has
designed to clamp down on
abuses of the aid to dependent
children phase ofpublic grants.
One new rule would deny ADC
grants to wives who refused to
sign complaints against desert
ing fathers and the other would
require a 60-day waiting period
from the time the father of de
pendent children deserts his fam
ily until first ADC grants are
made. Present waiting period is
30 days.
Administrator Mrs. Loa How
ard Mason also received commis
sion authorization to hire five
investigators to help halt abuses
of the program, in line with the
recommendation of the joint
ways and means committee of
the 1955 Legislature. The com
mittee also authorized the ap
pointment of five new assistant
attorneys general to aid in pros
ecuting the absconding fathers.
Alexander Graham Bell, the
inventor of the telephone, was
active for 51 years as teacher,
consultant, researcher and pres
ident of the board at Clarke
School for the Deaf at North
hampton, Massachusetts.
mother. The surprise was well
guarded, but also well planned.
Emotional Strain Worries
Papa Oliva's biggest worry
was the emotional strain of the
meeting. It was the first birth
day celebration always a big
event in French-Canadian fam
ilies that saw the famous cir
cle of five broken. Emilie died
of an epileptic attack last Au
gust. The big problem was the
question of birthday presents.
The quints have practically
everything they could want,
their needs are small, and they
have more money than they can
spend. They automatically re
ceived a $1,000,000 fortune with
their coming of age yesterday.
Until the last minute, Dionne
had maintained there would be
merely a "happy birthday" call
to Montreal, where Yvonne and
Cecile are student nurses in a
Catholic hospital and Annette is
studying to be. a music teacher.
First Word From Sister
He had said the three couldn't
get a long week end off, and that
his wife had decided a trip to
Montreal v)uld be "too fatigu
ing" after she learned she could
meet her daughters at only one
meal.
The first word of the ren
dezvous came from an older sis
ter, Mrs. Maurice Girouard of
Waterloo, Que., who disclosed
that Yvonne, Annette and Cecile
had "slipped out of Montreal by
car."
Police Beating
Affidavit Attacked
Portland (U.R) The state
has attacked an affidavit charg
ing that Portland police beat a
key prosecution witness who
testified at the recent murder
trial of Wey Him Fong and his
wife, Sherry.
Multnomah County Prosecu
tor Howard Lonergan said the
affidavit was "frivolous" and
was only hearsay. He further
contended it was filed too late
and did not bear on the-murder
trial. He asked that It be stricken
from the record.
The affidavit, signed by Erma
Lomboy of Portland, charges
that prosecution witness Rio
Riego told her of being beaten
for three days by city police.
Riego testified at the recent
trial that Fong, who with Sherry
were convicted of the murder
of 16-y8ar-old Diane Hank, had
asked him io help remove a
body.

On this Memorial Day week
end, a refreshing viewpoint is
heralded inz new magazine,
small but impressive in its text,
which has just been received at
the domiciliary library.
The publication is sponsored
by the WVF, the Worlds Vet
erans Federation, which claims
to be composed of 121 veteran
and war victim associations in
29 countries. Membership is es
timated to exceed 18,000,000.
Vincent Auriol is the honorary
president.
The "World Veteran" is pub
lished at 27 Rue de la Micho
diere, Paris, France. It is well
printed, well edited and well
written. The editor is Curtis
Campaigne. It is truly an inter
national magazine. Each month
30,000 copies are distributed
free to veterans organizations
throughout the world." It sells
for 10 cents a copy, $1 a year.
In the April issue at hand,
illustrated articles are included
under the following titles: Put
ting Isotopes to Work The
"School for Living" Four in a
Henhouse WVF Children's
Camp The Blind Man of Buch
enwald. In addition, a section is de
voted to veterans and their prob
lems around the world. A slice
of humor is found in "Worth His
Weight in Cheeses" showing the
world's prize fat man, weighing
415 pounds, equivalent to the
weight of 20 Holland cheeses,
where the Netherlands Asso
ciation of Military War Victims
held the contest.
An item of news is given in
this announcement:

conditions have led CARE to
make a sharp curtailment in its

Latin America and Africa. After
April 8, CARE will no longer
accept designated gifts for indi
viduals or groups in the United
Kingdom, the Benelux countries,
t ranee, Norway, Austria or i
West Germany (except Berlin).
Here is an interesting aports
story:
Eight members of the French
Society for the Physical Re-education
of the Disabled took part
in the annual course for the dis
abled, organized at Saalbach by
the Austrian Ski Federation.
The course, which was held at
the end of February, was di
rected by Dr. Otto Umbauer and
was attended by about 30 handi
capped persons, who were as
signed to various groups, de
pending on their handicap and
their skiing ability.
Another sports item from
Pakistan!

paraplegics ever held in Pakis
tan took place at the Sialkot
