Pirates Attack
Saigon Outposts
S a i g o n :U P Some 2,500
river pirates attacked govern
ment outposts within 15 miles
c the city Saturday. The thund
er of artillery echoed through
the capitol.
The barrage sent survivors of
the rebel force scurrying for
cover in the marshes and bam
boo thickets which blanket the
southern approaches to Saigon.
Official reports said the at
tack was orcanized by rebel
Warlord Le Van Vien, notorious
son of a buffalo rustler who
leads the racketeering Binh
Xuyen Sect, in an effort to
isolate Saigon from the "Rice
Bowl' area of southern Indo
china. The Binh Xuyen. which form
erly controlled both the police
and the gambling racket in
Saigon, was thrown out of the
city in April by forces loyal to
V. S. supported Premier Ngo
Dinh Diem.
Remants of Vien's gang of
underworld toughs and -river
rats' fled to the swamps sur
rounding Bungsat. 28 miles
south of here, to lick their
wounds and prepare a new bid
for power.
The rebels, apparently decid
ing their moment had come,
struck out of the swamps Thurs
day night at the outpost of Kinhi
Lo", 12.5 miles south of here.
They partly overran the river
side position and captured a
number of army speedboats.

San Francisco Girl
Sets New Record on
World-Circling Trip
San Francisco U.R) An
exhausted Susan Bryan, 21-year-old
career girl of Denver, Colo.,
landed Saturday at International
airport at 11 a.m. (PST) to es
tablish a new round-the-world
record for non-jet commercial
airline travel.
Miss Bryan won a race against
time and a contest with travel
agency executive Andrew W.
Lerios, who flew 'round the
world in the opposite direction.
Both Beat Record
Lerios, looking fresh in
tweeds, arrived on a non-stop
flight from New York, at 1:42
p.m. (PST). His elapsed time was
recorded at 111 hours and 24
minutes.
Although Miss Bryan bettered
Lerios' time by more than four
hours both had beaten the old
round-the-world record.
Miss Bryan, an attractive
blonde, logged an elapsed time
of 107 hours and 20 minutes on
her east-bound globe girdling
trip. The old record was 115
hours and 38 minutes set in 1952
by Jean-Marie Audibert in a
Paris-to-Paris flight,
Lerios, 34, and Miss Bryan
left International airport in op
posite directions within minutes
of each other early Tuesday
morning.
Lerios' scheduling carried him
across the Pacific, through
southeast Asia, the Middle East
to Europe, across the Atlantic
to New York, then non-stop to
San Francisco.
Miss Bryan got off on an east
bound flight to New York less
than an . hour after Lerios en
planed for Honolulu, but she was
favored by faster east bound
connections for Europe and Asia.
Sponsors of the race said the
round-the-globe flights would
cost $1,841, including tax, for
the average traveler.
Both "contestants" traveled
light. Miss Bryan said she car
ried "two pieces of luggage, a
modeling bag and travel kit."
"I had clothing for six
changes." she said. "And I was
well within the 66 pound bag
gage limit."

said. However he admitted they
were isolated "to provide a de
gree of protection" from other
prisoners and to "prevent any
incidents."
When asked if they would
seek civilian counsel Bell said
"The folks have taken care of
that." The others indicated
"we'll take care of that when
the time comes."
A case now pending in the
federal courts may upset the
army's plan to courts martial
the trial. All three were dis
honorably discharged when they
refused to return home at the
close of the Korean war. The
question of army jurisdicition
is in dispute.
A former POW who was dis
charged was arrested by the
military and is also in the San
Francisco Presido facing trail
for collaboration
A federal judge has ordered
the army to show cause why it
should not release the prisoner,
John D. Martin, 24. of Tuie
Lake, Calif., on grounds it lacks
jurisdiction over a civilian.
Could Set Precedent
A ruling favoable to Martin
could set a precendent govern
ing action against Griggs, Bell
and Cowart.
Bell's wife, Jewell, 23-year-old
Olympia, Wash., girl, said
she had retained an attorney.
She said Bell's counsel will at
tempt to have his case trans
ferred to Washington.
Bell, Griggs and Cowart were
placed under arrest when they
slepped ashore Friday from the
S. S. President Cleveland.
The army charged them with
"soliciting" an army general to
desert, informing on fellow pris
oners and aiding the enemy by
propagandizing against the
United States.
The three were of a group of
23 GIs who chose life behind
the "bamboo curtain" rather
than return home. Bell, Griggs
and Cowart did a second turn
about and were released by the
Reds early this month at Hong
Kong.
Oyer 100 Uranium
Claims Filed in
Lakeview Region
Lakeview (U.R) More than
100 uranium claims have been
filed in the Augur Creek area
14 miles northwest of here since
the start of the rush for radio
active ore several weeks ago,
Lake County Clerk Zane Grey
said Saturday.
Confirmation of uranium de
posits have been received from
the U. S. Bureau of Mines at Al
bany by owners of the White
King and Lucky Lass mines.
Average uranium content of
the White King mine was .66 per
cent with selected samples gra
ded at 1.4 per cent. Robert Ad
arms Jr., one of four partners in
the Lucky Lass operation, said
latest samples from the mine
were assayed at 1.2 per cent by
the Albany bureau office.
Adams said a vein of uranium
ore 200 to 300 feet long has
been uncovered by a bulldozer
some two to ten feet below the
earth's surface. The mine's own
ers have applied to the Atomic
Energy commission for a license
to ship ore to the nearest urani
um smelter at Salt Lake City.
Meanwhile, Rare Metals cor
poration of Colorado, one of the
largest uranium firms in the na
tion, has had geologists in the
Lakeview area taking samples
from more promising mines.
The county clerk also report
ed at least one law suit in the
making. He said one .man has
filed blanket placer claims over
areas on which uranium claims
had already been staked.

Touring US Farmers
Want Fewer Banquets
Novorossiisk, U.S.S.R. (U.R)
Members of the touring Ameri

Saturday they would like to see

The delegation, which has

turbed at the dwindling portion
of time spent in serious agricul
tural study.
Delegation members have
been fighting a losing battle

champagne receptions, multi

expressions of friendship from
their Soviet hosts.
Farm director F. T. Yarovoi
said his goal is "to give more

admitted he couldn't meet the
